Detail:
It is clear from the very first episode of Inkaar drama that Hajra is a bird with a broken wing. She starts working as a teacher in a private school after the loss of her hard-earned place at university due to suffering some trauma. One of the genius girl, Hajra is not the kind to garner too much attention yet fate makes her focus of obsession for two men.

Unfold of Story:
We find out she has been betrayed by one of his university fellow: Rehan Chaudhry(Imran Ashraf), who built up a relationship with her which ended when he tried to rape her. The victim of a frightening sexual assault, she escapes his clutches only to sink into depression, bitterly dissecting the past as she works to understand what happened to her. Soon she receives a traditional proposal from another young man who claims to know her, but she scarcely remembers. whose name is Shayan Malik(Sami Khan), the son of a government officer. Shayan was easy to miss, shy, lacking in confidence, he never had the courage to make a deep connection with Hajra even when her consciousness was not overwhelmed by the self-assured Rehan Chaudhry. Oblivious to any connection Hajra refuses Shayan's proposal because her faith in men and love has been shattered but he works hard at the winning her over, till he slowly gains her trust.

Rehan Chaudhry Life:
Rehan is a victim of his father's ambition and neglect, wrenched from his uneducated birth mother at a young age and placed under the tutelage of his father's manipulative city wife. Blinded by wealth and power, drunk on entitlement, Rehan Chaudhry is the distillation of an amoral, politically connected elite class.
Sensitivity and empathy of Shayan:
The audience shows the sensitivity and empathy that defines Shayan's characters the opposite of toxic masculinity that Rehan represents. Shayan has spent a lifetime being overshadowed by his swaggering, audacious friend Rehan, but his love for Hajra allows him to grow, and mature into someone much more powerful than Rehan Chaudhry.
Conclusion:
This drama gives us a clear picture of the different standards for men and women; men make mistakes, women commit sins. As a girl, Hajra feels too embarrassed to tell her parents about the sexual harassment by one of her professors. This lack of communication makes her easy prey for Rehan who pretends to be her savior and then her assault at his hands is another source of fear and shame. Then the Rehan family gets to know about him that he is a rapist and murderer but their sympathies and protections are immediately there to support him. Despite being an innocent victim, Hajra is left begging for her father's forgiveness as she lies in pain on a hospital bed. Respect is the most important thing in life. Once a person loss respect, he/she can never regain that respect whole life.
Finally, I would like to say that, very beautiful thoughts have been explained in this serial. Hope you would like to watch it.
