In Noorpur Ki Rani, Sanam Baloch essays the character of Noorulain Aneez aka Noorie. She stays with her uncle and aunt after she loses her parents as a young child. She carries the spirit of optimism and dreaming big despite all her hardships. Suddenly, her chacha passes away and her chachi drops her off at an orphanage. There, she sees Shehzaadi Rania (Mahnoor Baloch) and wishes to live her life. Noorie daydreams of changing the title song of the series into reality, which is “Kaath ke ghar ko chhodke, mehelon mein jaa basegi.”

One day, Noorie is sent to a rich man, Akbar’s house by Shahida from the orphanage. Wide-eyed to see the world outside, Noorie tries to cherish every moment of walking into a big house which almost seems like a palace. While sleeping at night, Akbar sneaks into Noorie’s room and starts touching her inappropriately. He strokes her face in a sleazy manner and makes her uncomfortable. Noorie who has begun going to school and is affected by this traumatic experience. She fails her exams and weeps incessantly as she bottles her feelings inside.

On the other hand, the show Mere Qatil Mere Dildaar tells the tale of Maham’s (Mehwish Hayat) sufferings and struggles in her in-laws’ house. She is a young woman in her 20s, who falls in love with Umer (Ahsan Khan), who loves her back.

To fight for her rights and take revenge, Maham comes back and marries her molester Bakhtyar. One by one, she avenges all her insults and atrocities by torturing him.
