Plot[]
Set in the early '90s when courtesans or Tawaifs are portrayed as classy women with etiquette but whom do not get involved in sexual activities. Sitara Jahan (Bushra Ansari) is well versed in the art of classical singing, music, and dance. She wants her daughters Feroza (Zara Noor Abbas) and Nagina (Nausheen Shah) to entertain her clients by singing and performing Mujra. Sitara wants to carry forward her family legacy with pride and doesn't view her craft in a negative light.
Nagina's life takes turn when Feroza runs away from Sitara Mahal; she eventually realizes that her family is falling apart and takes over Feroza's responsibilities to the best of her capabilities. Nagina has an extreme love-hate relationship with Faiz Ali (Mohsin Abbas Haider); a craftsman who is part of the family. Sitara Jahan especially takes care of him as he has no one in life. Faiz loves Nagina and on the contrary, Nagina hates him. As the story progress, Sitara forces Nagina to marry Faiz and she falls in love with him post-marriage. Later, she gives birth to her daughters Sandal (Hira Soomro) and Geeti-Aara (Sarah Khan) which returns Sitara Mehal's life to some happiness but it doesn't last for long. Faiz Ali passes away after the birth of his daughters leaving Nagina widowed and their daughters father-less.
Nagina is the driving force of Deewar-e-Shab; her journey goes through a transition with the next generation, her twin daughters, Sandal and Geeti-Aara.
