Plot


Qaid-e-Tanhai is the story of a couple, Aisha and Moiz, who love each other. They want to marry each other, but Moiz's mother, Aliya, gives a condition that if her daughter Maliha marries Aisha's brother, she will agree.
They get married but are later separated due to family and financial pressures that Aisha's mother in law had on Moiz. Aisha does not want Moiz to go overseas, insisting that the family isn't in a major financial trouble.
Influenced by his mother, Moiz goes overseas to earn money for his family, leaving Aisha devastated along with their daughter. Overseas, although he is working hard, he also befriends a female named Aneela. Moiz annoys Aisha by telling her about Aneela, and Aisha is mad at him. Aneela and Moiz are obviously dating at this point.
Worried, depressed Aisha waits for Moiz to come to Pakistan to visit her, but he does not come; years pass, but he doesn't come, influenced by his mother. In the meantime, Noor, Aisha's daughter, is growing up. She is fond of Jawad and thinks him as his father. Moiz's responsibility of raising his kids and supporting his wife, was fulfilled by another man, Jawad. Jawad eventually falls in love with Aisha and proposes her. She rejects but later softens by his talk.
Her mother-in-law overhears her and tells Moiz. He comes to Pakistan telling Aneela about Aisha, who is mad at him for not informing her about his marriage and child. But Jawad's mother rejects Aisha, and he leaves her. Aisha goes to her mother's house, where Maliha and her husband, i.e. Aisha's brother, insult her. Moiz in anger marries Aneela. He lies to Aneela that he has given divorce to Aisha.
Meanwhile, Moiz's sister Maliha's is about to get married. Aneela calls Maliha but Aisha answers. Aneela throws Moiz out of the house. After four to five years, she meets Moiz as Farhan, their child, wished to meet his father. Aneela dies in a car accident, and so Moiz goes to Pakistan.
There he meets Aisha. Noor is a grown up but is rebellious. She hates her father. Moiz introduces Farhan to everyone. Meanwhile, Aisha and Farhan develop a good bond. Moiz takes Aisha and Noor to London. In London, Noor spoils all the photos in Farhan's room. She becomes more immature and challenging.
Meanwhile, in Pakistan, Aliya feels sorry and realizes that she is being treated the same way by her other son Haseeb, Madiha and Maliha, the way she had treated Aisha. Noor gets admission in a university, and it is time for Aisha to leave UK.
In the last episode, Moiz apologizes to Aisha, and she also does the same. Moiz requests her not to go, and she doesn't. They all (Moiz, Aisha, Noor, and Farhan) are a happy family and are together.
