) who is posted in her village along the Pakistan-India border. Shahnawaz hails from a well-off wadera family. His family consist of his brothers and sisters in law. They hope to get him married off to the sister, played by actress Aleena, of one of the babhis. They are not pleased when Shahnawaz brings his newlywed bride, Gulaab to the haveli.
Trouble starts when Gulaab is found to be apparently barren. Her brother-in-law puts pressure on Shahnawaz to marry Aleena so that the family line can continue. Gulaab is eventually kicked out of the house after being falsely accused of having an affair. Despondent, she goes to commit suicide, but accidentally wanders into Indian territory. She is arrested for trespassing and sent to jail.
Eventually, Gulaab transforms from a naïve village girl to a defiant and courageous woman who braves the horrific conditions of the prison. She returns to her husband's home to redeem herself in his eyes, who, in a plot twist, is revealed to be the one suffering from infertility.
