Plot
The script is based on the novel 'Dhanjyotsna' written by Afsar Amed. After Sakhina and Nur's divorce, Sakhina has remarried Meher; a man who loves her but has difficulty providing for them and their three children. Nur went on to the Middle East and came back a rich man. He has remarried. Nur and Meher are cousins and Nur tries to help Meher (and Sakhina) by giving him work and lending him money. But when he returns Sakhina's prized nose-ring, which he had given her secretly during their marriage and not taken back during the divorce, and which Meher later pawned for some money, Sakhina is insulted and hurt.
