Nomal Masood, Hajra Yasmeen and Kamran Jillani will also be playing important roles in this drama. The serial is about modern day slavery and how the society treats those people who are less fortunate. The promos are intense, they show how Aiman Khan – the protagonist – who is also the “baandi” is being sold at an auction.
