Below is the story of episodes 01 & 02 of the drama ‘Pinjra‘ which were aired on 06 October 2022 on ARY Digital TV.
Javed (Omair Rana) and his wife Khadija (Hadiqa Kiani) are extremely punctual and strict parents of three children. Their first-born Azaan (Ashir Wajahat) is an obedient, bright teenager who excels in his studies and is his parents’ favorite.
Abeer (Aina Asif) is younger than Azaan and also a bright student. However, she is secretly indulged in all sorts of stupid online activities common in kids of today’s generation. Abaan is the youngest child in the family and an average student academically. Although he is brilliant in arts, his parents do not encourage him and keep comparing him with his elder brother. The constant comparison has severely affected his personality, making him ill-mannered and disobedient.
Wajiha (Sunita Marshal) is an open-minded, single mother of two kids, Fardan (Zuhab Khan) and Dua. She is an air hostess, who is mostly away from her kids due to air travel. However, she treats her children friendly and has a solid trusted bond with them. Javed dislikes Khadija’s friendship with Wajiha and keeps asking Khadija to maintain distance from her.
Despite Khadija and Javed’s strict refusal, Abeer secretly acquires a phone from her friend and keeps it hidden with her. She befriends a boy in school and gets caught in a social media rivalry related to the boy. Abaan hears the news of Abeer’s social media fight and confronts her. Abeer does not take him seriously and treats him as an unimportant younger brother even though they are only a year apart.
Soon, in the school, the news of the social media rivalry reaches the principal, and Abeer is summoned to the school’s front office. When Abaan finds out that Abeer is being interrogated, he becomes furious and rushes to the boy responsible for the rivalry. In the ensuing fight, Abaan ends up pushing the boy from the top floor of the school.
A flashback scene reveals that six months ago, Wajiha divorced her husband who was insecure about Wajiha’s financial independence and became physically abusive to her. Fardan and Dua very maturely accepted Wajiha’s decision and decided to live with her instead of their jobless father.
