Plot
Summarize
Perspective
Business rivals Mubeen Khan and Sikandar Khan have been entangled in a long-standing family feud. Caught in the crossfire are Kabir and Riya, former childhood fiancés who have now become bitter adversaries. Following his release from jail, Sikandar Khan encounters yet another setback. Meanwhile, Kabir makes a life-altering decision and unknowingly crosses paths with Riya, oblivious to her true identity. Without realizing it, Kabir falls in love at first sight with Riya—who, unbeknownst to him, is the sister of his greatest enemy, Sikandar. With Wajid’s help, Sikandar destroy Kabir’s most treasured belonging. Meanwhile, Mah Bina visits Riya’s house with a marriage proposal for Kabir. Kabir is shattered when he learns that the girl he loves is actually his sworn enemy. Meanwhile, Sikandar endures yet another humiliation at the hands of Mubeen and Kabir.
Kabir confronts Riya with his deep resentment, but fate takes an unexpected turn when he ends up saving her life—only for her to misinterpret his actions. Seeking safety, Riya takes shelter in Kabir’s home, but later, she accuses him of abduction, resulting in his arrest. Riya eventually has a change of heart, leading to Kabir’s unexpected release. However, he becomes determined to uncover the true culprit behind her attempted abduction. Fueled by her resentment toward Kabir, Riya refuses his academic assistance, while Kashaf willingly accepts it. Their contrasting outcomes put Riya in a difficult situation. Despite facing his own challenges, Kabir steps in to defend a stranger from Faraz. Feeling disgraced, Faraz plots revenge, using Riya as a pawn against Kabir. Kabir crashes Faraz’s birthday party and takes Riya away to warn her about Faraz’s intentions, but she refuses to believe him. On her wedding day, Faraz kidnaps Riya with a sinister plan in motion. In his attempt to rescue her, Kabir unknowingly walks into Faraz’s trap.
After surviving a gunshot, Kabir ends up in the hospital. Determined to see him, Riya takes a huge risk, deceiving her family to visit him in secret. Just as Wajid is about to kill Kabir, Riya arrives and intervenes. In the ensuing chaos, Wajid flees, leaving his true identity a mystery. Riya faces increasing pressure from her family to marry, while Kabir demands a risky favor to test her loyalty, and Riya boldly accepts the challenge. Kabir struggles with his feelings for Riya. Meanwhile, Riya, desperate to escape marriage and pass her exams, turns to Kabir for help. Kabir agrees to tutor Riya to help her pass her exams. However, when Wafa unexpectedly sees them together, it raises new suspicions and doubts. During their study sessions, Kabir and Riya clash in a heated argument, but they eventually resolve their differences and find common ground. Kabir angers Mah Bina by bringing Minha, Wafa's sister, to their home. Tensions escalate when he gives a major contract to Sikandar, Mubeen's bitter rival, deepening the divide. Wafa conspires to marry Kabir to Minha in an attempt to seize control of the house. Kabir, in turn, accepts Riya's bold challenge to visit her home and follows through.
In a fit of rage upon seeing Kabir at her home, Asma pulls the trigger. In a shocking moment, Riya steps in front of him and takes the bullet instead. Haunted by his past with Asma, Mubeen warns Kabir to stay away from Riya. Meanwhile, Asma grows nervous when she realizes her pistol is missing, unaware that Wajid now possesses it. As Wafa continues plotting to marry Kabir to Minha as revenge on Mah Bina, Riya heartbreakingly rejects Kabir's love, fearing that being with her would put his life in danger. Kabir and Riya remain torn by their growing feelings. To continue tutoring her, Kabir challenges Riya to visit his home, and she bravely accepts the challenge. Then, she visits his home. Mah Bina becomes increasingly concerned as Kabir continues to openly support for Riya. Meanwhile, Asma starts noticing changes in Riya’s behavior and suspects that she might be in love with someone. Acting on Wafa’s advice, Minha begins attending to Mah Bina and attempts to grow closer to Kabir. At the same time, Mah Bina intensifies her efforts to find a suitable bride for him.[3]

Reception
The series received attention for its lead performances and storyline.[3] Danish Taimoor and Sahar Hashmi's on-screen pairing was noted, and the drama gained viewership following its premiere of first episode.[6][8]
A review at Dawn concluded: "Lavish sets, a strong but under-utilised star cast and two-dimensional character sketches give us a very Indianised show that is determined to entertain and avoid too much thinking. Despite his credentials as a good performer, Danish Taimoor seems to be stuck in the groove of playing a rogue male on a rampage, again and again… and yet again."[10] A review of episode 6 on Trending Social mentioned that the actor's fans too expressed the same concern about the lack of novelty of his role.[11]
