Plot
[edit]"Qayamat is the story of a young and beautiful girl whose life decisions are dominated by those around her. Eventually, all hell breaks loose when the people closest to her repeatedly make the same mistake, making her future bleak.
Ifrah, along with her parents and elder sister Samra, belongs to the lower middle class and believes in hard work and honesty. Samrah is in love with her friend's brother Saad. Their marriage has also been fixed. But, on informing their wealthy uncle Mukhtar, he asks them to break off that marriage and to give Samrah hand for his elder son Rashid Mukhtar (no one is willing to marry Rashid as he not only failed in eighth grade, he doesn't have a great reputation). Ifrah and Samrah's parents first refuse Mukhtar, but he threatens them and tells them that he will take back their house and their shop (it is all in his name). On hearing this, Samrah, though reluctant, agrees to the wedding, willing to sacrifice her happiness for her family.
Meanwhile, Rashid's brother Jawad, comes back from Canada. He and Ifrah fall in love with each other, and their marriage is also fixed.
After their marriage, Samrah faces mistreatment from Rashid.Rashid often beats up Samra by gaining the support of his mother, Nargis.(Nargis wanted a richer daughter-in-law). She gets pregnant with his child, but their treatment towards her doesn't improve. He continues to beat her up . One day, when Rashid and Samrah argue over his mistress Pari, he pushes her, and she falls. She is rushed to the hospital, where she dies after giving birth to their daughter, who is named Sana. While all this is happening, Rashid is spending time with his mistress Pari, whom he accidentally shoots while fighting over her with her other boyfriend. No one knew that Rashid killed Samra.
Rashid's family decides to get him married to Ifrah. Ifrah disagrees. Jawad sees that his niece needs a mother and begs her to marry his brother. Jawad sacrifices his love, and eventually, Ifrah agrees. Ifrah's parents repeat their mistake of marrying off their daughter to Rashid, who is known to have subjected their eldest daughter to frequent domestic abuse. For Sana Rashid starts to develop feelings for Ifrah.After some time, Afiya also dies.Knowing the main culprit behind her sister's demise, Ifrah decides that if she's destined to marry Samra's abuser, then there must be vengeance.[4]
