The series was formerly a biweekly, and was converted into a daily soap to burn off the remaining episodes before Ramadan, due to scheduling conflicts on most Pakistani networks, especially GEO because they telecast a transmission nearly all day, allowing very few dramas to be aired in the month of Ramadan.

Plot

The protagonist is Maria, whose father is Muslim and mother is Christian. Maria faces discrimination in her aunt and uncle's house due to her mother. The show shows her inclination towards Islam despite the fact that she has spent most of the time with her mother. The story also reflects the lives of her boss Amar, his brother Danish and Danish's would-be wife.
