== Plot ==
In a former royal family in Hyderabad, India, the elder heir, Azar Nawab (Kanwaljit Singh) was the son of Badi Sarkar (Vineeta Malik), a widow and matriarch. Navin Nischol played painter Waqar Chand, who was the younger brother of Azar's late father (Bade Nawab) but had withdrawn from his family over his career as an artist. Deepika played Aiman Shahab, who joins Badi Sarkar as a general assistant. Aiman lost her mother when she was young, and her father around her graduation. She lived with an aunt in Bangalore and joined Badi Sarkar's mansion named Farmaan, in Hyderabad, for work.

Badi Sarkar's step sister was Tasneem Pasha (Kalpana Iyer), a widow with two children: Shahana (Neha Sharad) and Basharat Nawab (Raja Bundela). They lived with Badi Sarkar and had a carefree lifestyle earlier in the show. Both Tasneem Pasha and Shahana were being taken for a ride by a dubious character, Mukhtar Nawab. Badi Sarkar disliked Mukhtar, because he had gotten her late husband addicted to gambling, as a result of which he had lost much of fortune. Waqar Chand also lived in a cottage on mansion grounds, but never entered the mansion as a result of a promise made to Bade Nawab.

The story progresses in [[Hyderabad]] as well as Dandeli (where Badi Sarkar's family had a timber factory), and shows the changes that take place as the family adapts, adjusts to its lifestyle. It also shows how Aiman finds her footing from a novice assistant to an assured person and finds love.
