Rudaba is an innocent girl, who is engaged to her father's best friend's son, Buland Bakhtiar. Rudaba is not happy with her engagement, because she thinks Buland who has lived most of his life in America will be a nontraditional person, and she'd never like. Her brother, Adil, is married to Saira, who is a clever and manipulating woman. Saira is the sister of Bashar Momin, a rich money launderer who loves deeply two of his sisters, and wants them happy at any cost. He is looking for a suitable match for his little sister, Tayyaba, whose two engagements have been broken because of his bad repute, as owner of black money.

Rudaba's father and future father-in-law die in a street robbing accident while going for a walk. Adil has no way to contact Buland and carries out the burial. Rudaba, left alone, have now to live with her brother despite her reluctance. In Adil's home, Saira always tries to keep Adil, who's a caring brother, apart from Rudaba.

Meanwhile, 90 crore of Bashar's money is threatened which is stored in Adil's account. Adil and Saira now go to America to save the cash, and Rudaba now have to live in Bashar's house. She's also given responsibility to take care of Pareezay, Adil's daughter. Bashar, angry natured, scolds Rudaba often. But Rudaba's innocence and beauty somewhat impacts his heart and eventually falls for her.

Buland, worried about his Father not receiving his calls, returns to Pakistan. He learns that his father has died. He meets Rudaba, who falls in love with him shortly. Buland also turns out to be Tayyaba's College fellow. Bashar, now in love with Rudaba, doesn't like Buland's and Rudaba's meet ups. When Tayyaba mentions of Buland as a good person to Bashar, he, now in love with Rudaba, becomes committed to separate Buland from Rudaba, for Tayyaba. He starts getting close to Rudaba, who considers him "BHAI", to create hatred and misunderstanding in Buland's heart for Rudaba. Buland, feeling sick of Rudaba's closeness to Bashar, ignores Rudaba.
