Noor Bano (serial)

The drama "Noor Bano" centres around an orphaned girl, Noor Bano, who is raised by her paternal uncle, Agha Ji, after her parents die in a car accident. Years later, Agha Ji forces her to marry his younger son, Murash, who sees Noor as an older sister and is uninterested in the marriage. He agrees only because of his father's promise to care for Noor. Murash leaves Pakistan right after their Nikah, without ever forming a marital relationship. Noor, sensing his disinterest, urges him to marry the woman he loves. In New York, Murash marries his classmate Alvina.

Years later, Murash returns to Pakistan with Alvina, and Noor Bano convinces Agha Ji not to punish him. Alvina grows jealous of Murash’s attention towards Noor and demands a child. She eventually gives birth to a daughter, and after Agha Ji passes away, Murash inherits his role. Murash proposes to Noor Bano, but after spending a night with him, Noor disappears, leaving behind her jewellery by the seashore, making everyone believe she drowned.

Five years later, Alvina receives a call from a school in Karachi about a boy named Hamza Murash Ali, which shocks her. Upon investigating, she finds Noor Bano alive and raising Hamza. Murash, learning his son has a heart condition, reconnects with Noor and Hamza. Alvina becomes jealous, leading to tensions between her and Murash. After a confrontation, Murash divorces Noor Bano, bringing their complicated relationship to a close.
