Story of the film
The protagonist of the tale is Sultana, a Tawaif who unintentionally enters Dawood Mohammed Ali Khan Yusafzai’s life. Dawood has already developed feelings for author Kaynat Mirza. Dawood is forced to declare Sultana to be his wife due to circumstances beyond his control.
Sultana quickly wins over everyone’s heart with her wisdom and tenderness, love and affection, and fun. Dawood’s life changes as he admits that he will always remember his first love, Kaynat, but he also can’t control his growing affection for Sultana, whose real identity he can’t tell anybody about for fear of terrible repercussions for both of them.
Finally, Sulaiman, who has always had a great affection for Kaynat, professes his love to her, while Dawood acknowledges that he has fallen in love with Sultana.
