Synopsis

Dil-e-Gumshuda revolves around the themes of rivalry, revenge, and jealousy between two cousin sisters, Zara (Hina Altaf) and Alizay (Amar Khan). Zara hails from a middle class family and after the sad demise of her parents she is forced to move in with her uncle's family where she meets her cousin Alizay for the first time. Alizay is a self-centred and manipulative girl who cannot share her life with anyone, not even with her fiance Daniyal (Agha Ali). When Zara moves in, Alizay and her mother make it difficult for her to adjust as they humiliate and scold her for being an outsider. Both of them play multiple tricks to demean Zara in front of everyone and even steal the love of her life, Nadeem (Mirza Zain Baig). Zara is shattered when she finds out about Nadeem's change of mind and comes face-to-face with the harsh realities of life. Will Zara continue to suffer under the atrocities implicated by Alizay or will she take a stand for herself?
