Plot

edit

Kathputli is a story of dignity, love, relation and regret. The story revolves around Mehrunisa, a vivacious girl born into a male dominant household. Mehrunisa dreams of a successful professional life but is bounded by restrictions which keeps her away from pursuing her dreams.

Mehrunisa's friends take her to a farmhouse to celebrate their success in exams where she meets her inevitable fate at the hands of a TV reporter. The incident dents her dignity and honour but her true suffering begins when her own family and fiancé accuse her of wrongdoings and banish her.

What was the incident that led to the destruction of such an innocent soul?

Will the reporter make up for his mistake and will she ever forgive him and her family for not believing in her innocence?

Production

In an interview, Anum said, "MD Production - Fahim Burney’s production house has been insisting that I act for them in the past year. But I had different priorities at the time. I was completing my studies and waiting for the right time to make my debut. Of course, working with Gohar felt like the most natural and comfortable way to begin".[3][4]
