Khwahishat Ka Jaal / خواہشات کا جال
13 parts Ongoing Web of Ambition / خواہشات کا جال (Khwahishat Ka Jaal) follows the compelling story of Emaan Noor, a fiercely independent woman caught in the throes of her family's relentless pursuit of wealth and status.
Emaan's mother, Farzana Begum, is a woman of iron will and unyielding ambition. Driven by a desire to rise above their humble beginnings, Farzana sees her younger daughter, Nawal, as the key to achieving her lofty dreams. She pressures Nawal to leverage her beauty to secure their family's future, often disregarding Nawal's own desires and happiness.
In stark contrast to her mother, Emaan is strong-willed and independent, valuing integrity over material gain. She rejects Farzana's materialistic ambitions, which often leads to clashes within the family. Despite her tough exterior, Emaan harbors deep-seated vulnerabilities, stemming from the familial tensions and the emotional burden of her mother's relentless aspirations.
The family's trajectory changes dramatically when they cross paths with the wealthy and influential Raisani family. Jahangir Shah Raisani, a charming and flirtatious man, stands in sharp contrast to his brother, Rustam Shah Raisani, who is mature, responsible, and manages the family business. Emaan finds herself entangled in the complexities of these relationships, particularly with Rustam, whose quiet strength and grounded nature draw her in despite her initial reservations.
