This drama serial is based on the navel. The navel  has the same name written by Umera Ahmad. Umera Ahmad always writes on social issues and how society treats women. I also like Umera Ahmad novels. 

The lead role is played by Mahira Khan as Mehreen, Kubra Khan as Mashal and Usman Mukhtar as Aswad. The OST of this drama is sung by Yashal Shahid.


Story Line:

Aswad is a very friendly guy who is close to his both cousins Mehreen and Mashal. Mehreen is very simple and Mashal is very beautiful and they are both in love with Aswad. Mehreen is very poor because his father is a drug addict and her grandmother hates her due to her father. Mehreen's father did not leave drugs and Mehreen's mother took Mehreen and told her father that she will take her and not let him see Mehreen again. Mehreen's father commits suicide because he cannot see his daughter being away from him. Mehreen's Mother gets married again. Step dad did not like Menreen and she lived with Mashal's parents and with her grandmother.

Mehreen is very strong and smart girl and she is also good in study and in art. But her grandmother and other people hates her but only person who care her is Aswad's mother. She got first position in every field like studies, debate, art, and talented artists. And this makes Mashal jealous. Only Aswad's mother knows how much talent Menreen has. Mashal's mother wants her daughter to be like Mehreen because Mashal is very beautiful but has no talent and is not good in her studies. This creates an inferiority complex in Mashal. Mashal wants to become like Mehreen.

Mashal is in contact with Aswad who lives in America. Mashal told Aswad wrong information about Mehreen like she smokes and had many boyfriends and often stayed outside at nights and she did not do well in studies etc. Aswad believed in Mashal and started to dislike her. Mashal also read Mehreen's diary to see what she likes and what she dislikes without her permission. Mashal likes Aswad and Aswad also likes Mashal but Aswad's mother rejects Mashal and wants Mehreen to be her daughter in law. Aswad told Mashal that he did not marry her because of her mother. Mashal tells Aswad that she is okay with that and only wants him to be happy. 

One night, Mashal is found dead and everyone blames Mehreen for Mashal's death. Mehreen was arrested for Mashal's death and in jail, she started to hallucinate her father and Mashal. Aswad hair a lawyer and bail her. Mashal's parent were not happy about that because they believed that she murdered their daughter. But their maid Shabbo knows everything about Mashal's death but she did not speak. Aswad also believed that Meheen killed Mashal and started emotionally abusing Mehreen. Because of emotional abuse, Mehreen starts to hallucinate Mashal by telling her to kill herself. Aswad forces Mehreen to sign a paper where Mehreen confesses that she killed Mashal. After this, Mehreen got ill and was admitted to the hospital.

The Psychiatrist of the hospital tells Aswad that it was the result of emotional abuse and after listening to this Aswad feels guilty. Mashal's parents are going to throw Meheen belongings and they call Aswad to collect them. When Aswad goes to the Mahreen room, he is surprised to see the awards and painting that Mashal used to show him and now he realizes that it all belongs to Mehreen. The maid Shabbo splits all truth about Mashal's character and her death and also tells him the past of Mehreen and how these people treated her. She also tells him that it was Mashal who wanted to kill Mehreen that night, Mashal tells Shabbo to put sleeping pills in Mehreen cup but due to her carelessness she accidently put sleeping pills in Mashal cup. Aswad are in shock to hear. Then he reads Mehreen's diary and then he goes to Mehreen in the hospital.

Mehreen asked for divorce from Aswad and Aswad asked Mehreen to listen to him once and confess. Mehreen told Aswad that that night Mehreen and Mashal reconciled with each other and they both realized that it was enough and Shabbo brought tea for them. Mashal knows that sleeping pills are in Mehreen's cup and she breaks her cup but she did not know that Shabbo put sleeping pills in her cup due to carelessness. They both apologize to each other and reconcile that night. But the next morning, Mashal was found dead. After hearing this, Aswad asks for forgiveness and Mehreen forgives Aswad. Aswad and Mehreen started to live a new life. 

Review:

I like this drama. I read this novel when I was in intermediate because my friend was reading it. When I read this, I realized why there was no drama in this novel but after some time, they made this series. The major issues that is highlight in this drama are:

Always listen to two sides of people when you want to make a decision and get an impression on others. 

Never make your child to behave like others because it makes them jealous and they select a third way to live and hide their weakness.

Accept your child with their strongest aspect and with their weakness. 

Aswad only listened to Mashal and did wrong to Mehreen without asking her and made his decision that is wrong. Mehreen due to his father's issues, everyone hates her and never sees her good points and is judgmental about her. Mehreen's mother remarried but she also stopped caring for her, which is wrong. This series shows how rumors destroy you. If you are a bad person but the rumor about you is not that bad as you are then you can live a good life but if you get infamous because of a rumor your life is destroyed.
