This is a tale of forbidden love set in the enchanting city of Lahore. Tajdar Baloch, a noble nawab and freedom fighter, falls deeply in love with Alamzeb, the daughter of a tawaif. Despite societal barriers, their love blossoms, but tragedy strikes...
Days went by, and Alamzeb found herself in deep thoughts, often blushing and smiling at the memory of Tajdar. Her unusual demeanor did not go unnoticed by Mallika Jaan, who found it both amusing and mysterious. Although Mallika never showed much outward affection, she felt a growing concern. Alamzeb was her youngest and most precious child, and Mallika knew the harsh fate of a tawaif: love was a luxury they could never afford.

Mallika Jaan's heart ached at the thought that Alamzeb might be in love. She believed that no one would ever accept a tawaif's love or purity, fearing that Alamzeb's lover was only toying with her emotions. In her world, tawaifs were for entertainment, and no one would ever cherish or honor their feelings. After pondering over her drink, Mallika Jaan made a resolute decision. The next day would mark Alamzeb's debut as a tawaif, ending any dreams of love she might harbor. It was a painful but necessary step to protect Alamzeb from future heartbreak.

With tears silently wiped away, Mallika Jaan went downstairs and announced that Alamzeb's debut would be the next evening. The news shocked everyone, though they cheered for her. Alamzeb, however, felt her world crumble. She fled to her room, leaving a stunned silence in her wake. Mallika Jaan, firm in her resolve, ordered preparations to begin, ensuring Shahi Mahal would shine like a star for the event.

Bibbo Jaan, sensing Alamzeb's despair, approached Mallika Jaan to plead on her behalf. She revealed that Alamzeb already has someone , whom she loves dearly. But Mallika Jaan, hardened by reality, dismissed the notion, explaining that a tawaif's love held no value and would never be accepted. Bibbo Jaan related deeply to this, remembering her own lost love, Wali Sahab her patron, who had abandoned her for another tawaif.
