Below is the story of episode 01 of the drama ‘Bakhtawar‘ that was aired on 17 July 2022 on Hum TV.
The drama begins with a flashback scene showing an easy-going and jolly girl Bakhtawar (Yumna Zaidi) who lives with her family in a village. Ever since the birth of her little brother, Bakhtawar grew close to her elder sister, Naseema. But one day out of nowhere, their abusive and alcoholic father, Razzaq (Noor-ul-Hassan) abruptly marries Naseema to an old-age goon. While bidding farewell to her family, Naseema guides Bakhtawar to study passionately and become capable enough to escape their cruel father.
In the present, Bakhtawar has become a confident and smart girl taking care of her mother, Shareefa (Huma Nawab), and bedridden brother, Guddu. The family is financially dependent on Shareefa’s brother, Hameed (Adnan Shah Tipu) ever since Razzaq disappeared six years ago. Hameed’s wife (Kauser Siddiqui) is a spiteful woman who is against Bakhtawar’s idea of pursuing studies. She wants to marry Bakhtawar to her mentally retarded son, Rajju in exchange for paying for Guddu’s illness.
Bakhtawar is offended by the proposal and refuses to marry as she is clear in her head that she wants to become an independent girl instead of marrying someone and ending up like her mother and sister. Soon, Guddu dies after Hameed stops paying for his medication. At the funeral, the community decides to marry Bakhtawar to Rajju. When Bakhtawar finds out about it, she seeks help from her admirer, Ahad (Ali Wasi Kazmi) who helps them to flee the village and reach Karachi.
