Iman's mother left her when she was a baby and she has been bought up by her father in Beghum's household. She dreams of big houses and expensive cars and studies Home Economics.

It is not a drama that will top the viewers weekly watch list but it is an option for when nothing good is on TV and one has some time to kill.
