Balaa

Balaa (

Nigar is in love with her cousin, Taimoor (Bilal Abbas Khan), a handsome and family-oriented man whose family she and Zafar have had been degrading for their low status in the past but not for long as now Taimoor is living a successful life. Taimoor loves Saba (Azekah Daniel), the only daughter of his mother's friend (Ismat Zaidi). This makes her become Nigar's second target. Fortunately, she catches Saba with her boyfriend, Mateen, and provokes them to elope, on the day of nikkah as she will aid them. On the other hand, she uses Mateen to make mute calls to Zeba (Ammara Chaudhary) so Junaid suspects that she is having an affair. So, as planned, Saba elopes with Mateen on the day of nikkah with an apology note and her poor mother dies of embarrassment. Taimoor also gets badly heartbroken.

Nigar succeeds in clearing the second target and has also partially clear the first target. The leftover part is done by Zafar who bribes Mateen to be in Zeba's room when she's home alone. The plan is followed with perfection and Junaid arrives at the moment. Zafar and Nigar succeed in making Junaid divorce Zeba although she tries her best to prove her sincerity. The next morning, Zeba is found dead in the washroom. The cause is revealed to be a brain hemorrhage. Mission accomplished.

Now, Nigar heads for heartbroken Taimoor. She gradually lures him out of his sorrow and makes him like her. Although Junaid is also badly suffering from the trauma of his wife's death, she doesn't care at all. She has her eyes fixed on Taimoor. She eventually starts mixing up with Taimoor's family. Taimoor's mother, Shama (Samina Peerzada) is a very gentle and caring woman who easily agrees to accept Nigar, although Nigar has been rude to her in the past. Taimoor's younger sister, Batool (Mehar Bano) resists Nigar's presence but her mother won't consider her objection as she wants her son's prosperity back. Saleha (Mehwish Qureshi), Taimoor's older sister, is also an unadorned lady just like her mother but her simplicity is way too elaborated that she can't differentiate what's bad and good. In simple words, she is a type of immature. On the other hand, Batool is a clever, liberal, and sensible girl who easily indicates Nigar's intentions.

Somehow, Taimoor gets affectionate towards Nigar. Zafar conditions the marriage to be a watta satta. Batool doesn't want to marry a heartbroken Junaid who has also become bad-tempered and got in drinking. So, Nigar assures her father that she will marry Batool with Junaid after she marries Taimoor. So, Zafar agrees.

On the wedding night, Taimoor describes his family's importance to her and she should also give them a priority. As it was against Nigar's aptitude, she is overwhelmed and resists in her own gesticulations. Now, Nigar's pivot motive was to get rid of the whole of Taimoor's family. She uses Shama's submissive attitude as her base. Nigar emotionally forces Shama to be a bit distant from Taimoor so he could spend more time with her. Shama foresees heartbroken Taimoor's prosperity in this so she starts being distant from Taimoor. At first, Taimoor objects the weird attitude of his mother but later, he accepts that as a regular fact. And now Shama is not in her way. Now Nigar's next target is Batool.

However Nigar makes Taimoor convinced for Batool and Junaid marriage. After Batool's marriage Taimoor got to know about the truth that Junaid has not left beer. After some days Batool dies accidentally as she comes in front when Junaid was firing and her body falls in the pool. When Taimoor reaches there Nigar set up an act and blamed Batool's ex for her death. The whole family is heartbroken. Now the next target of Nigar was Saleeha. Nigar knew that Saleeha has ovary cancer which can be recovered. But she didn't tell anyone. After some time Saleeha died.

Then after a long leap, the story continues where now Taimoor has a child, Saad, and Shama is mentally ill. As time went by, Taimoor knew about his wife and her wrongdoings. Nigar wanted Shama to die. Now Saba is back as Mateen divorced her and now she doesn't have any money. Shama starts visiting her every day. while searching Shama, Taimoor reaches to Saba's house, which annoyed Nigar. A while later, Shama dies due to a heart attack.

Now Taimoor got to know the whole truth and doings of his wife by Saba and Batool's ex, Which made Taimoor revengeful.

To succeed in his revenge Taimoor marries Saba and with the help of Saba, he makes Nigar mentally retarded by giving her a very high dose of medicine. And she is in a mental hospital. He tells Zafar everything and leaves.
