## Plot
### Season 1

Gohar, Mehru's mother is eager to get her married, but every proposal is rejected due to Mehru's spirit possession. Finally, her marriage is arranged with Faisal, a widower and father of six-year-old Saba.
Before the wedding, Mehru's brother, Javed takes her to Abdullah Shah Ghazi's shrine, where a fakir discovers her situation. He provides a ta'wiz and prayers to Gohar to help Mehru. But due to her carelessness, she has to leave the ritual midway, leading to a worsening of Mehru's condition.
On the night of Mehru's rukhsati, paranormal activities occur, including Mehru being locked in her room. Faisal's mother, Rukaiya witnesses Mehru as a ghost and becomes terrified. Faisal initially remains unaffected but eventually experiences strange occurrences.
Gohar invites Mehru to visit the shrine again where they learn that the fakir has passed away. Faisal confides in a friend about the situation.
Rukaiya seeks help from a Pir by her sister Suraiya, but Suraiya's intentions are dubious. They try to force Mehru to drink holy water from the Pir, she refuses, and Rukaiya throws her out.
Faisal's friend consults a scholar, who agrees to help him. Faisal then meets with Gohar to understand the origin of the possession, which began when Gohar visited a graveyard during pregnancy.
The scholar performs rituals to free Mehru from the possession, and eventually succeeds. However, Saba becomes possessed, having spent time with Mehru while she was possessed.

### Season 2

The story starts with Zubair, who shifts his family to a new house, where they begin the wedding arrangements of Zubair's brother Umair. The family begins to notice paranormal activity occurring around the house yet gives it no significance due to wedding preparations and celebrations.
