Amna Wajahat

Based on the novel of the same name by Aliya Bukhari, Deewar-e-Shab tells the story of three generations of courtesans' day-to-day struggles in the previously lively Sitara Mahal.

Saba is a strong, studious young woman who was raised by a family that supports her ambitions. Ammar, her love interest, is a well educated, handsome young man who has it all and knows it. He begins to display narcissistic tendencies shortly after their marriage, which harms their relationship and affects Saba’s self worth. When Ammar’s best friend Faakhir becomes a form of emotional support for Saba, tensions rise between the three, and make for a complicated dynamic.
