Soon after her arrival at her uncle's, Bari finds out about her and requests her return. Her uncle, Taimoor, agrees to help and let her stay without informing any of the family until the matter is resolved. It is to him that she begs for help to cancel her wedding. In sheer frustration, she decides to go to the house of her uncle, who has been remarkably distant with everyone in the family, particularly Roshi and her father. Unable to delay her marriage, Roshi runs away from the haveli on the eve of the wedding. The fact that Maheen is the only person Roshi trusts enough to share her love for Bari with, attests to their close bond. Her brief visit to the ancestral haveli where Roshi lives with her entire extended family, including much-too-brief meetings with Roshni and her brother, obvious lack of any reference to her deceased sister, and Roshi's unhappiness at being sent away soon after Maheen's arrival, leave her mystified. She feels that she was kept in the dark by her husband and his family. It is suggested that Maheen has accepted this offer to unearth information about her sister. Her relationship with Roshi grows to the point that she accepts an offer of marriage with her father just to stay close to Roshni. With her wildly curly hair and funky salwar kameezes, Maheen is just the youthful presence Roshi needs. In sharp contrast to the picture painted of Roshi's mother (through intermittent flashbacks), Maheen is a highly qualified lawyer who has had a liberal upbringing in the city and has stayed unmarried due to her involvement with her education. Roshi's deceased mother's youngest sister, Maheen, enters the scene. Roshanay is devastated and makes every possible attempt to curb these developments, even requesting her father to delay the impending engagement ceremony. A suicide attempt following her frustration at her 'distant relationship' with her father and brother, and the absence of any memories of her mother (who she is told is long deceased), compels her grandfather to arrange for her marriage at the earliest, with a fellow feudal heir. Not surprisingly, most of the members of Roshi's family are in the dark about her love for Bari. Besides romantic encounters between the two that suggest a budding affection, no direct evidence is given. Bari is a very strong and calm character who respects everyone in the Haveli. The initial episodes deal with the story of a young feudal heiress, Roshanay, and her budding love for one of her father's employees, Abdul Bari. The story is set against the backdrop of the feudal system and looks at its resultant class distinctions, besides the unraveling of a seemingly perfect marriage due to the connivance of Zaitoon Bano.
