Shaheen is a young Muslim girl who lives in Mumbai[5] and dreams of doing something in life. Her father's only dream is to get her married into a rich royal family of Nawabs. Shaheen's dreams are shattered when she gets to know that her father has fixed her marriage with a Lucknow-based widower Nawab Junaid. There is a significant age difference between Shaheen and Junaid but she surrenders to her father's wishes and marries Junaid.
Shaheen shifts to Lucknow with Junaid and gradually starts adjusting to a very different city and culture. However, she is soon shocked to discover that Junaid has a son from his previous marriage, a fact her father hid from her. Junaid then tells her that he can never give her the place of his first wife. Shaheen decides to carry on and joins a college with Junaid's support. There she meets a young poet named Rafee and falls in love with him.
The story then revolves around Shaheen's relationship with Junaid and how she must decide to choose between him and Rafee.
