To maintain their traditional ways, the couple gets their son and daughter married into Pakistani families. However, the younger son, Sultan, thinks differently and chooses the bold and confident Soha as his wife.
Born Balwant Kaur, Bilqees is a converted Muslim and is shown to follow the religion but does go to the gurdwara once a week to pray for her late parents. She is shown to be a controlling and oppressing mother and seems to have traditional views. However at the end of the show it is reveiled that she is just over-protective as she wants her children to do well in life. All in all Bilqees's actions are driven by her own Guilt for eloping with Iqbal and hurting her family. Ironically in trying to keep her new family close and subdued, she manages to drive them away as well.
