What happens

Hawain, also Hawaian (Urdu: ہوائیں; transl. The Winds) is a 1995 Pakistani television drama serial written by Asghar Nadeem Syed and Farzana Nadeem Syed and directed by Haider Imam Rizvi. Produced by the Pakistan Television Corporation, the serial ran for 21 episodes and centres on a family whose patriarch is arrested on a false charge of murder. The serial featured an ensemble cast led by Talat Hussain, Ghazala Kaifee, Huma Nawab and Qazi Wajid, and marked the acting debut of singer and actress Komal Rizvi. Commentators have described Hawain as among the more widely followed PTV dramas of the mid-1990s, noting its socio-political undertones. At the time of its original broadcast, some viewers drew parallels between the serial's central narrative and the trial of former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and the subsequent political struggle of his daughter Benazir Bhutto. Neither the writer nor the network has confirmed such a connection. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
