Synopsis
Manchali is a story of two cousins, Ambreen and Afsheen, who are polar opposites but promise to stand with each other through thick and thin. Ambreen is often disliked by her family because of her exuberant and outspoken nature while Afsheen is an innocent and kind-hearted girl who is in love with her next door neighbour, Arham. Arham lives with his mother, Surya Begum, and sister, Seema.
Afsheen’s love life is challenged when Moonis, who is Arham’s family friend and a potential groom for Seema, falls in love with Ambreen. To avoid complications between Arham and Afsheen’s relationship, Ambreen is afraid to reciprocate his feelings. Upon knowing Moonis’ interest, Surya Begum plans to get rid of Afsheen and Ambreen. On the other hand, Arham is constantly instigated against Afsheen and he starts to lose trust in her. While Afsheen faces challenges in her marital life, Ambreen is bothered about her relationship with Moonis. Will the four of them be able to save their relationships or will they fall prey to their family politics?
