Plot
[edit]The story revolves around Zahid Ahmed's family, his three daughters, two sons, and his responsible wife, Shah Jahan. Zahid has always failed to satisfy and fulfil his responsibilities as a father and a husband and has been scolding his daughters for not following the Islamic rituals honestly. Whereas; his daughters have almost no inclination towards their father's teachings and ultimately turn out to be rebellious against him.
The second plot of the story is concerned with Shabbir, the neighbour of Zahid and his two sisters, who are compelled to live in the house of Zahid for some time due to some financial issues. Hence the title highlights the character of five girls of diversified nature living under one roof.
