Plot

Bushra is the third daughter of her parents and she was named so by her father Nasir because he yearned for a son after her birth, but it couldn't happen and he had four daughters after Bushra's birth. That's why Nasir considers her as unlucky and does not accept her daughters wholeheartedly. Bushra is determined to do all the jobs that a son can do and her mother is hopeful too about her that one day she will become a supporter of her father.

After her elder sister Fiza's divorce and at the wedding preparations of another sister, to support her father she applies for a loan in her office but the request was rejected. Nasir taunts her for it but she doesn't lose hope until she receives a job call from a firm. She is selected on the base of her performance and is promoted shortly after.
