Dastaan (Urdu: داستان) (English: Story) is a Pakistani drama serial dramatized by Sameera Fazal, and based on the novel Bano, by Razia Butt.[1] It is based on the independence of Pakistan, and takes place between 1947 and 1956.

Murtaza married another woman, who did eventually give birth to his son. Rafia supports herself and her three daughters by herself and is the principal of a government school. Kashaf, her eldest daughter, is accepted into a well-known university and is offered a scholarship. At this university, she meets Zaroon Junaid (Fawad Afzal Khan). The two have many arguments, since Zaroon is jealous of Kashaf because he has always been the best from among his peers while Kashaf repeatedly comes first in every class. Zaroon comes from a rich family consisting of his lax and patient father, an independent, attitude-filled mother (who doesn't give much time to her family due to her work) and his sister Sara(Ayesha Omar). Sara is just like her mother; she is initially engaged to and later marries Farhan but their marriage falls apart because Sara is not willing to compromise and Farhan isn't happy with a stubborn wife.

lot of excitement and love. They have a complete family.
