Nighat! Nagin!
Where are you all?
Kids...
Where are your mom and aunt?
Mom is cooking
and aunt isn't home.
Not at home!
Where is your sister?
She went early morning to look for a job.
Really?
She went early morning to look for a job!
Rashid, did you hear that?
Your sister-in-law went to look for a job.
Since so long she is doing this drama.
Listen to me. Are you listening?
Now, if she doesn't get a job
you should take care of her. Understood?
My job and her tuition classes are not good enough for her.
Nagin keeps talking about it.
By God's grace, she will definitely get a job.
I'm sure about it.
It's because of your leniency, Nuzat..
In these times of inflation
it's difficult to provide for a household.
You have two kids. Think about them.
You spend my son's hard earned money on your sister's needs.
She just eats two square meals with us.
She doesn't even demand anything.
Are you listening, Son?
Look at the way she is arguing with me.
We aren't responsible for her marriage.
Do you get it?
Your mom is not alive, but your dad is.
He is useless.
He is enjoying with his new wife.
He is so engrossed, he didn't even check on them
to see if his daughters are fine.
He just raised them. That's it.
He didn't give us any money or gifts either.
And now, we are feeding her.
We will have to get her married, too.
Let me tell you something.
I won't marry her off so soon. Am I right, Mom?
She must bear the cost of our kids' education.
May God bless you. But why will she?
Why won't she? Stop your nonsense!
You care for your sister.
What about me? I am working so hard!
Now, don't start crying.
Go and do the laundry.
Where is mother's tea?
Get her a cup of tea!
-Go away, before I slap you! -Hurry up!
-Take this, Mom. -You, have it.
-Come on, I will get sugar. -No...
-Come on... -Okay, give the Paratha too.
Sir, I don't have much knowledge about computers.
But if you teach me, I will learn soon.
You don't need to learn anything.
Actually, I needed a beautiful secretary.
Just like you...
One who can assist me everywhere.
I didn't get you.
I just mean you need not worry.
But you need a little grooming.
And I will help you with that.
What are you doing?
Listen to me...
Why are you getting angry?
I just praised you.
And of course, beauty should be appreciated.
If you accept it, then..
In our community, for a girl, looking for a job
is similar to getting marriage proposals.
Just as in marriage, everyone wants
a beautiful girl with a strong background
even for jobs
they look for stylish and modern girls.
It's okay even if she can't work.
But she should be capable of impressing her clients and boss.
That's why I was stopping you.
You're an Arts graduate.
Girls with an Arts degree need good reference to get a job.
Who will recommend you?
Your tuition classes were good.
Tell me something.
Did Rashid tell you to look for a job?
Of course, not.
He didn't say anything to me.
I realise it, myself.
Anyway expenses have increased now.
If I get a job, I will be able to support.
Moreover, I don't want the kids
to go to a government school like I did.
They shouldn't struggle to get a job.
My kids' education is not your responsibility.
It's not in my control to get you married.
I just hope you get a suitable match soon.
Amen to that.
Try to get it done faster.
If it were in my control, I would have done it.
But gossip about your deeds travel faster than light.
Before that I have to talk to my wife.
What if your wife refuses?
She may.
We will have to handle her differently.
Why did you get so many things?
Aunt...
That's my duty.
After all, I'm the to-be-son-in-law of this family.
Yes, that's true.
Aunt...
Then, why don't you agree to the proposal?
I'm eagerly waiting to marry Nagin.
You are right. You are the only man
in our family who has money and is handsome, too.
Then, let us not delay it.
Nagin will rule the roost at my home.
Aunt, I don't need any dowry.
I love Nagin.
Have you gone mad?
How is that possible?
Your mom has high expectations.
She would keep taunting Nagin if we don't give a dowry.
Give the money back to me. We will do something.
You need not bother about my sister.
I'll get her married to the person of my choice, when I want.
What's wrong with her?
Go inside. We will talk later.
Why? You're talking about my sister's marriage.
Why should I go inside?
Don't you get it? I told you to go inside.
I won't go inside...
Rashid, I'm leaving now. We will talk later.
Okay. We will meet soon.
Don't you have any manners?
Never insult your husband in front of outsiders.
You insulted me.. Go inside!
Get lost!
I hope I didn't hit you hard. I...
I didn't mean to.
Well, why are you objecting to Anwar and Nagin's marriage?
He has already been to jail for eve teasing twice.
He is neck deep in debt.
He drinks and gambles.
And the shop you are talking about
has been seized by the moneylenders.
How could you get my sister married to someone
-who isn't even settled? -Even politicians and leaders
get convicted. Anwar is an ordinary man.
You might feel bad about this.
Daughters who are abandoned by their father
won't get marriage proposals from officers and businessmen.
You should be glad that I married you.
You are having a luxurious and respectable life
at my house.
Or else, what would've happened?
You would have grown old at your paternal house
serving your step-mom
and looking for a groom like Cinderella.
I'm the head of the family.
I'll decide about Nagin's marriage. That's final.
-But Rashid... -Oh, not again...
You still haven't learnt your lesson, it seems.
Listen, whatever you are saying about Anwar
maybe somewhat true.
Before marriage... I mean...
He is a little irresponsible but trust me, he is a nice person.
He will improve further.
Finally I got the chance... I mean, I want to see
my sister-in-law having a settled life.
And everyone improves
after marriage.
And so will Anwar.
I'm sure Nagin will reform him.
I'm not ready to accept this marriage.
How can I convince you? What should I do?
Who wants your opinion?
Be practical and go to sleep. Turn the lights off.
How dare they even think about you and Anwar?
People from our background get such proposals.
I won't let you get married to just any crook.
I educated you so that you don't have to suffer like me.
After all, I'm your sister.
And I'm no beauty queen
that a man will ignore my status and background and marry me.
Maybe I will get married into a similar family like yours.
Why do you compare yourself to me?
You won't suffer like me.
You don't lack any quality.
You are beautiful and have high morals.
I know, God has great plans for you.
Soon, a prince charming will come to marry you.
Don't show me dreams of a prince.
I'm a practical girl.
I never dreamt of a prince charming who will take me away from here.
Moreover, my focus is my career now.
I want to become independent.
Now, don't tell me that you don't want to get married.
You have no idea how worried I am for your marriage and future.
Sister...
Is marriage the only way to ensure a good future?
I don't have an answer for that.
But all I know is marriage is very important.
Especially for girls like us
who do not have their parents with them.
I agree that marriage is important.
But it's more important that the relationship should bring joy.
And not make one's life a living hell.
I'm looking for the best groom for you.
I'm not looking for the best, Sister.
I want someone who would love me
and respects me.
He may not be rich
but still, he should be sincere
and honest towards me.
God willing, it will come true.
Sultan Durrani.
Business is not just his profession but his passion, too.
He wants to make his company the biggest IT company in Pakistan.
He worked hard for it and proved himself.
I opened a branch in UK and now, I want to make my company
the biggest company in Pakistan by signing this contract with you.
Sultan Durrani.
Abeera Wajdan.
Please come.
Thank you so much for everything, Ms. Abeera.
Glad you liked it.
I heard that you are very choosy in business.
And you don't think emotionally.
Is that true?
You heard it right.
But for you, it's different.
So kind of you, Ms. Abeera.
Call me Abeera.
I hope you will
take our business to the top.
And I will support you in this.
I'm sure you'll keep both of us happy.
You are misunderstanding me.
I'm here for a business meeting.
Not to date you.
You are insulting me, Sultan.
Call it what you want.
I don't go against my values.
-All the best. -Wait, Sultan.
You can't ignore me.
I decide everything here.
You will pay for it. Think about it.
I don't care.
Sultan!
I have power and position.
You don't know what I can do.
I don't think of profit or loss
when my values are in question.
Mr. Sajid said that there are a few vacancies
in his transport company.
They will provide pick up and drop
free food and lodging.
Why are you telling me all this?
I'm not telling you, but your sister, Nagin.
I thought it's a good opportunity and she could apply.
Oh, God! Now, will girls also become security guards at bus stands?
No! Bus stand... What are you talking about, Mom?
Not a security guard at any bus stand.
It's an easy job. She needs to take care
of the passengers in a bus.
And the pay is good, Mom.
Nagin won't take up this job.
How could you even think
that my sister would work as a hostess in a bus?
Sister, I think Rashid is right.
I'll go and check once.
Maybe it's something good.
I'm not educated enough to get a great job anyway.
I've decided that you won't do this job and that's final.
Our family has some prestige in the society.
What will people say?
What if someone from our family
sees you serving people in a bus?
If you are so interested in working
then become a school teacher.
It's not about the interest, it's about the need.
Your being ridiculous. I'm talking about your sister's future
but you discouraged her and gave her stupid advice.
You want her to become a teacher.
He's right.
By the way, what's the problem with working in a bus?
The pay is good, too.
She's been waiting for a chance like this since childhood
Sultan's room should be cleaned properly.
-Sure, ma'am. -Do you remember
how upset he was the last time?
Also, ask Inayat to prepare
some variety of dishes today.
Sure, ma'am.
In fact, ask him to prepare Sultan's favourite dishes.
-Has this area been cleaned? -It's getting cleaned.
Okay. Go to the kitchen and ask Inayat to hurry up.
Okay.
I've supervised the arrangements in your grandson's bedroom.
And the dinner also has his favourite dishes.
By the way, I haven't missed out on anything.
But if you find something missing then do let me know.
Why are you wearing this?
There are so many servants at home. Why do you have to go to the kitchen?
Grandma, you had said
that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.
So, why would I waste this chance to impress Sultan?
That's true.
By the way, today is his birthday.
So, in order to celebrate after dinner
I have baked a cake, myself.
I'm going to the airport to receive him personally.
Well, I better get ready. Or I'll be late. Love you, Grandma.
I love you, too. Okay, don't go alone.
Take the driver and the guard along.
Let her go.
Mujaddid has also given her the permission to go to the airport.
That's okay, dear, but look at condition nowadays.
She'll take the guard along.
You know how excited she gets when Sultan arrives.
Her excitement worries me.
Because Sultan is never serious about marriage.
I have told Mujaddid to speak to him about it clearly.
The wedding shouldn't get delayed any further.
Even you talk to him about it.
He always listens to you.
I'll definitely talk to him.
He is old enough to get married now.
He should think of settling down.
You are absolutely right.
But Sultan cares only about his business.
He runs away from politics.
Mujaddid was also saying that there won't be anyone
to succeed him in politics.
Please make him understand.
Why did you come to the airport?
Because I wanted to welcome my rude cousin.
Otherwise, he would feel bad. Isn't it?
I don't get upset over little things.
I'm your cousin. We grew up together.
But we still don't know each other well.
Oh! Are you calling my gesture of coming to the airport
and receiving you trivial?
Unbelievable!
Are you upset?
Why shouldn't I be?
You know what? I missed you a lot this time.
Did you also miss me?
Why are you driving so slow?
Are you new to driving? Drive faster.
Sultan, ever since you won the businessman of the year award
I'm really proud of you.
Thank you, Uncle.
But you didn't have to make so many arrangements for me.
There are two reasons for this.
The first reason is the success of your business.
And guess the second one!
How would I know? You tell me.
It's your birthday today.
I had even called up to remind you.
I called him up at midnight and wished him.
Narmeen.
-Yes. - What happened to your cake?
-I hope it doesn't get burnt. -No. I have already baked it.
I thought we should have dinner first. Then I'll serve it.
Narmeen has prepared the cake, herself!
Yes, especially for you.
She has been talking about the cake since morning.
-Bring it. -Okay.
Have this, Sultan.
Yes, I'll take it. Grandma, you take some first.
All right. Thank you.
-Now you take some. -Well, you hadn't made such arrangements
even when I had topped in my exams. What's so special today?
You've achieved something way bigger this time.
-The cake is here. -Keep it over here.
Wow! It looks wonderful. It's beautiful.
What is this?
It's a surprise for you.
Really? Then, I'll take a look at it.
-Wow! -Wow!
Nice!
Happy birthday, Sultan.
Thank you.
Tell me, what's the salary?
It's 25,000.
Wow!
And food, pick up and drop
and accommodation in hostel during travel is absolutely free.
Let me tell you something more exciting.
I won't need new clothes.
Why not?
Because I'm required to wear a uniform.
Just like what the air hostesses wear.
-Is it? -Yes.
I'll stay with you for three days and travel for three days.
I'll travel all over Pakistan.
I'll visit different cities.
I'll go everywhere!
And wherever I go, I'll bring something for you and the kids.
Don't spend unnecessarily.
Start saving money for your dowry.
It's true that the kids and I will miss you a lot.
We are so used to having you around.
Sister!
I'm not going away forever.
Someday, you'll be gone forever.
To be honest, I'm waiting for that day.
You have already conquered the business world.
Tell me, when are you getting into politics?
Politics is like a full-time job, Uncle.
And I don't have time for it.
We have already discussed this before
I don't want to get into a debate now.
That won't be required. I understand your situation.
You have responsibilities. But don't forget that politics is in our genes.
Your ancestors have served the people of this area.
As long as I'm alive, I'll continue carry the legacy forth.
-But after I die... -May God give you a long life.
Uncle, you are not that old.
So, I needn't give up my business to succeed you in politics.
You've the right over the post you currently hold.
I'm not saying that I won't get into politics.
I'm saying that I just need some time.
I want to establish my business first.
But dear, your uncle and I were thinking
that you should at least get trained for politics.
Grandma, I don't need any training.
I just don't want to take up the responsibility.
It's not about the responsibility.
In fact, it's your duty.
You may establish all the factories you want.
But eventually, you'll have to take up this responsibility.
-Absolutely. -You're the sole heir to our family.
There's already a lot of burden on me, Uncle.
I need to handle dad's business, two factories, sugar mills
and I want to open another company, I want open a news channel, too.
I don't have time for anything else.
All right, dear. You fulfill your desires.
But eventually, you'll have to take care of these lands and run this area.
Because I won't let my ancestors' hard work go in vain.
I was thinking of opening a shopping plaza
and an IT university in this locality.
If you have a land for that, then let me know.
I'll talk to my consultant about the formalities.
Yes. Good idea.
Even I was thinking on the same lines.
It will be great if there's IT related work in this area.
And this will also make our vote bank stronger.
Do one thing, come with me.
I'll take you around the locality and also show you lands.
Sure.
-Excuse me. -Yes, sir?
At what time would the bus to Lahore depart in the afternoon?
Sir, at 3:00 p.m.
Oh, at 3:00 p.m.
Do you have a brochure?
Yes, sir. Hold on.
Where are the brochures?
Here you go, sir.
Okay. Where can I buy the tickets?
The ticket counter is outside.
You can buy the tickets there.
-Long live Mr. Durrani! -Long live Mr. Durrani!
-All Hail Roshan Party. -All Hail Roshan Party.
-Long live Mr. Durrani! -Long live Mr. Durrani!
-All Hail Roshan Party. -All Hail Roshan Party.
Long live Mr. Durrani!
Mr. Sultan has come here
with a new idea.
With respect to IT and computers...
I mean, he wants to build
a university related to computers.
So, people of this area will learn computers.
-Very good idea. -Yes.
The biggest concern here has been our children's education.
Yes. We are going to open a new school.
-Long live Mr. Durrani! -Long live Mr. Durrani!
-All Hail Roshan Party. -All Hail Roshan Party.
This is just the beginning. Just wait and watch
the kind of people you come across.
I'm already worried.
If you can't motivate me, then at least don't scare me.
I was so happy.
I have a good job. Everything is falling into place. People are so nice.
-Yet, I feel as if... -But this is still Pakistan.
When a girl here steps of the house
every man looks at her with bad intentions.
Our jobs are like that.
We face such weird people.
Harassment takes place on all levels in this country.
Girls are harassed even in big multinational companies.
This is just a job in a bus company.
Until when are we going to depend on our parents?
We'll have to even save money for our dowry.
In fact, I think that this job in a bus company
is no less than a boon for us.
Otherwise, who would offer jobs to Arts graduate girls?
Whatever it is, I can tolerate this.
If something like this happens again, I'll complain to our boss.
Or, I'll quit the job.
If you want to work, then you'll have to tolerate all this.
And don't tell Mr. Sajid anything.
Otherwise, you may lose your job.
Shabin.
Chaudhary Rafiq and his family are coming over tonight.
Make dinner arrangements.
All right, I will do it.
-Greetings. -Come, dear.
Have a seat.
We had been waiting for you.
It has been a long time since we sat together like this as a family.
It feels great.
But if you are going to talk about business or politics
then I'm going to leave.
All right. Let's talk about a topic of her interest.
What is her favourite topic?
The same as every Pakistani girl.
Fashion, make-up or family gossip.
Please don't over-exaggerate, okay?
I'm not so typical.
All right, now go and ask Inayat to prepare a few dishes
for the guests who are coming tonight.
All right.
I want to talk you guys
about our children's marriage.
What do you want to discuss?
Most of the girls from our family have gotten married into other families.
But I want Narmeen to get married within our family.
When we have a prospective groom right within the family
why would we look elsewhere?
