Shano, a simple village girl, is deeply devoted to the engagement, while Khalil, an arrogant city boy raised as the “Prince of Punjab,” initially dismisses her feelings. After years of separation, Shano’s yearning to meet Khalil grows. Although Khalil is indifferent, a dream prompts him to visit her. At their first meeting in over a decade, they fall in love, but Shano’s parents oppose their union, preferring her marriage to her paternal cousin Fayaz. Khalil’s family proposes formally, but Shano’s parents reject it. Amid escalating tensions, Fayaz and his accomplices brutally beat Khalil, but Khalil retaliates. Despite their love, Shano and Khalil face continuous interference, including Rasheeda, Shano’s manipulative mother, who emotionally blackmails Khalil into renouncing Shano. Plans to marry in court fail as Shano’s mother fakes a suicide attempt, halting their union. Shano’s best friend Humaira later reveals Rasheeda orchestrated Shano’s earlier escape to damage her reputation. Khalil is accused of kidnapping, but Shano testifies in court to clear his name. Rasheeda’s confession of her lingering love for Khalil’s father, Abdul Rehman, leads to further turmoil. Amin, Shano’s father, suffers a stroke upon learning this. Humaira, secretly in love with Khalil, convinces Shano to give up Khalil to save her father’s health, which improves after Shano’s sacrifice. The tragic backstory of Khalil’s illegitimacy is revealed—his mother, Inayat, was pregnant with another man’s child when she married Abdul Rehman, further complicating the families’ relationship. Inayat’s death shortly after worsens the heartbreak. Shano and Khalil are forced into separate marriages. Years later, in 1994, Khalil, now a successful banker, learns of Shano’s death, attributed to depression over their separation. At her funeral, Khalil forgives her husband and estranged family members, though he remains angry with Rasheeda. Shano’s sister introduces Khalil to her son, named Khurram, a tribute to their unrealized love. As Khalil leaves, he sees Shano’s spirit watching over him, symbolizing their enduring but tragic connection. Cast and characters
