What happens

It stars Saba Qamar and Aamina Sheikh as the contrasting sisters who take divergent paths driven by their choices and actions. The last episode of the series was telecasted on 24 February 2012. Maat garnered mixed critical response, with praise for the leads' performances, but criticism for lacking nuance.
