Plot

The show is based on the life of an Indian Muslim girl, Afreen, who is living with her family in Dubai. Afreen gets what many girls dream of: marriage into a wealthy and respectable family, as well as a handsome, loving husband, Kabir. Soon, she is expecting her first child. Kabir's brother in law, Azaan, is in love with the wealthy and spoiled Sania, who lives in London. Azaan shares his love story with his beloved brother Kabir.

Unfortunately, Afreen's joy is short-lived, as Kabir suddenly dies in an accident. Circumstances then lead Afreen to marry her brother-in-law Azaan, who has never gotten along with her. One misunderstanding after another affects the relationships within the family. However, as time passes, Azaan and Afreen begin to take a liking to eachother, until they fall in love. Then, Sania lands in Dubai and tries to separate Azaan and Afreen. However, they always get back together. Sania threatens Afreen for ruining her life, and thus, for the sake of Sania, Afreen decides to leave Azaan. However, as Afreen still loves Azaan, she decides to wait until Azaan find out the true, spoiled nature of Sania. Once that happened, Afreen and Azaan got back together. Time passes, and they live happily. Afreen delivers a baby boy, Kabir. However, due to the child, Azaan and Afreen's relationship fall apart, and Azaan insists on a divorce. However, Afreen decides that she will not accept the divorce until she learns who is behind Kabir's death. Through investigation, the family realises that Zarin was responsible for the family's mishaps. Azaan and Afreen start their new life with much love and care with their baby Kabir, and they live happily thereafter.

One day, they see a man who almost perfectly resembles Kabir. Is this his look-alike or had he survived the accident? Was the accident staged by someone close to them? And who should now be considered Afreen's husband? The answers to these questions form the denouement of the story.
