Mehak is a young woman living a peaceful life with her father Akram, her mother Naheed, and her younger sister Nida. Mehak is engaged to her cousin Ahsan, but Ahsan's mother, Andaleep, doesn't approve of Mehak, while Ahsan's father Rehan does approve of her. One day, Akram finds a young, rich, arrogant man harassing someone on the road, and when he goes to confront this man, the man points a gun at Akram. This man turns out to be Shamsher. Mehak and Rehan plead with him and bring Akram back to the car, but Shamsher sees Mehak and instantly falls in love with her.

Once Shamsher finds out who Mehak is and where she lives, he tries multiple evil ways to get Mehak to marry him, including getting Akram arrested for a while and kidnapping Ahsan on their wedding day. Exhausted by having to live in constant fear and concern for the lives of her loved ones, Mehak finally gives in and agrees to marry Shamsher. When Mehak rings him to tell him the news, he is beyond thrilled. Shamsher promises to love Mehak and protect her till his last breath. Shamsher's father, Dilawar, is a wealthy and arrogant man who is also extremely powerful and influential. He disapproves of Mehak since she is poor and believes she is after Shamsher's wealth. Shamsher's mother, Mehwish, and his brother Dara, both agree to the alliance because they are helpless in front of Shamsher. Dara's wife, Farwa, hates Mehak because Farwa's sister Sofia wants to marry Shamsher. After all, Mehak disrespected her on one occasion.

Dilawar, after having tried everything in his power to prevent the union, then hires a hitman, Sheru, to kill Mehak on her and Shamsher's wedding day. He orchestrates an accident and the sinister plan is successful. Believing that Mehak is dead, Shamsher and Mehak's family are heartbroken. But, somehow, Mehak manages to survive. When Akram finds Mehak alive and well, he sends her to Multan to an old friend's place as he does not want Shamsher to find out that she is happening, but Sheru sees her, much to his shock. Akram conceals the truth from his family as he believes it is the best option.

Ahsan shoots Shamsher, heartbroken by Mehak's sudden supposed demise and enraged by Shamsher's past actions. Shamsher is in critical condition at the hospital. Dilawar gets Ahsan and all the men in Mehak's family arrested as punishment. Shamsher's mother, aware of the role her husband had to play in Mehak's death, feels remorseful and goes to meet Mehak's mother and seek her forgiveness for the atrocities committed by her son. Mahek's mother (who just discovered that her daughter is alive) grants forgiveness to Shamsher solely because he will stay as far away from their family as possible. Shamsher's mother agrees and leaves. On the way home, she gets a call from her husband that Shamsher has regained consciousness.
