==Plot==
The story revolves around Masooma a.k.a. Mo ([[Nadia Jamil]]), a working woman and single mother who lives with her fifteen-year-old daughter Maha ([[Sajjal Ali]]). After losing her husband in a road accident, Maha becomes Masooma's sole reason for existence; Maha grows to be an introvert and extremely possessive of her mother.

One day, Masooma bumps into her best friend's younger brother Jamal Ahmad a.k.a. Jo ([[Fawad Khan]]), who is also her childhood friend and a divorcee. He visits Masooma's house for dinner and gels well with Maha, which surprises Masooma as Maha usually doesn't warm up to people so easily. Jo's sister, Poppy (Nausheen) asks Masooma to find a girl for Jo, as she thinks that Jo is very young and should remarry. Masooma introduces Shaista ([[Hira Tareen]]) to Jo at lunch, where Jo behaves carelessly and shows no interest in the proposal.

Jo starts spending a lot time with Masooma and Maha, the latter also warming up to him even more. Jo, soon realising his live for Mo, waits for the perfect moment to propose to Masooma which leaves her shocked and stunned. She refuses because of her being a single mother and five years older than him. Masooma also feels that Maha will never adjust to having a new father. However, Jo asks her to reconsider her decision as he genuinely loves and respects her and considers Maha his daughter. Masooma's friend Shafaq (Nadia Afgan) makes her realise that she will never get a better husband than Jo, and assures her that Jo can be the father figure in Maha’s life. Masooma tells Maha about Jo's proposal and tells her that they need someone like Jo in their lives, as he has all the qualities of a good companion and a great person. Masooma also says that she will not accept the proposal if Maha is uncomfortable about it. Maha, though a little taken aback by the proposal, gives her consent to the marriage.

A few days later, Masooma asks Jamal to pick Maha from school as she is caught up with work. When she returns, she finds Maha screaming, seemingly due to Jamal sexually harassing her. Masooma is left guilt ridden and heart broken and she breaks up with Jamal. After six months Masooma decides to send Maha to London for higher studies but Maha refuses to go. Maha confides in Shafaq that she framed Jamal because Masooma's was falling in love with him and she had become insecure about losing her mother. Shafaq tells Maha the importance of Jamal in their lives and tells her what she has done has going to have a lot of negative implications on both her and Masooma’s life . Maha then leaves Shafaq’s house to apologise to Jamal and tell him why she accused him. Jamal tells her that it is up to her and Masooma to decide whether she wants him in their lives or not. He also reveals that Masooma is aware of the truth. Jamal explains that after two weeks of the incident Masooma saw [[CCTV]] footage from that day and realized that Jamal was innocent.

It is then shown that Masooma was listening while Maha apologized to Jamal; both mother and daughter become emotional and hug each other. The telefilm ends with an emotional Jamal crying and watching the two women, indicating that Jamal and Masooma would get together in the future .<ref>{{cite web|title=Behadd Telefilm Synopsis|url=http://www.dramapakistani.net/behadd-telefilm/|publisher=DramasPakistani|date= 9 June 2013|accessdate=21 October 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Behadd telefilm, Synopsis and Pictures|url=http://www.pakium.com/2013/06/01/behadd-telefilm-hum-tv|publisher=Pakium|date=9 June 2014|accessdate=21 October 2014}}</ref>

===Critical response===

The film received praise for [[Asim Raza]]'s direction, [[Umera Ahmad]]'s story and successful transmission of story into play, acting (particular that of [[Fawad Khan]], [[Nadia Jamil]], [[Sajjal Ali]] and [[Nadia Afgan]]), drama, moral messages and production values.{{Citation needed|date=April 2020}}

Despite strong positive reviews, there was much speculation that ''Behadd'' follows the same plot of [[Hasina Moin]]'s 1980 [[Pakistan Television Corporation|PTV]] classic story ''Gudiya – (Doll)''.<ref>{{cite web|title=Behadd follows Hasina Moin's story Gudya|url=http://www.magtheweekly.com/22-28june2013/telemix.asp|publisher=Magtheweekly|date=14 June 2013|accessdate=21 October 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130701233657/http://www.magtheweekly.com/22-28june2013/telemix.asp|archive-date=1 July 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref>
