Jhooti
The story started by showing a middle-class family where there’s a stuck up teenage girl named Nirma, who is mannerless and extremely over the top. She has dreams of studying and earning money, but her family just wants her to get married. Then there’s Nasir, he owns a superstore in the area and has his own house. He’s from a middle-class family too but seemingly well settled. Honestly, he’s kind of a creep who stalks Nirma whenever she’s passing by and also lets one of his friends click pictures of her without her consent.
