Husna aur Husn Ara

The honor of an esteemed family. The secret past of a stranger. The silent sacrifice that makes all the difference.
The peaceful household of the Sufi Sahib is turned upside down with the arrival of Husn Ara, a dazzlingly beautiful young lady who carries the burden of being infamous for her secret past. The family, comprising his first wife, Dilshad, and daughter, Husna, succumbs to their jealously and class distinction after learning the secret of Husn Ara’s life as a courtesan (tawaif).
In an effort that leads to disgraceful betrayal, the family’s good name is on the verge of destruction. But as the dust finally settles, a shocking reality comes to light: it was the pariah who they hated to accept, who had sacrificed herself to save their own skin.
“Husna aur Husn Ara” (حسنہ اور حسن آراء) is a stunning masterpiece of social realism written in Urdu and highlights the extreme hypocrisies of society along with the real significance of virtue.
