Daam (Urdu: دام) (lit. Price) is a Pakistani drama television series which premiered on ARY Digital on 11 June 2010 and last episode was aired on 15 October 2010. The series is directed by award winning TV director Mehreen Jabbar, is written by popular Urdu novelist Umera Ahmed, and produced by Humayun Saeed and Abdullah Kadwani's production house 7th Sky Entertainment.
Zara Hidayatullah (Sanam Baloch) and Maleeha Sami (Aamina Sheikh) have been close friends for over seven years. Zara belongs to a lower-middle-class family while Maleeha comes from an upper class household. Yet their class difference has never threatened their unbreakable bond. Maleeha had been there for her friend through many hardships, though she never really felt or lived the extent of the mental anguish that plagued Zara's life. The great blow to their friendship comes when Maleeha's elder brother Junaid (Adeel Hussain), shows his interest in marrying Zara. Their parents have no objection to the union, but it comes as a real shock to Maleeha, as she is unable to fathom the thought that Zara, an average status girl, could marry her brother who is eligible in all means. Maleeha's cousin, and sister-in-law Fiza (Sanam Saeed), also Zara's and Maleeha's class fellow, starts manipulating her against Zara. Meanwhile, Zara's family has found a perfect suitor for Zara's older sister Aasma (Nimra Bucha). She promises Junaid that his family can approach hers with their proposal after her sister's marriage. But things didn't go as planned. Zara's father got imprisoned for defrauding in a new business scheme he was working at. Zara's family needs to gather a large amount of money to pay for his bail, which they were unable to afford. Zara asks Maleeha for help, but Maleeha makes a bargain with her. She decides to give Zara the money only if she breaks off with Junaid. Insulted, disdained and helpless, Zara agrees and gives Maleeha the pendant Junaid gifted. Junaid's family later approaches Zara, but she turns them down by saying that she is committed to one of her cousins. Meanwhile, Fiza starts developing feelings for Junaid, and tries to convince Maleeha and her family to let her marry him. When Junaid refuses, Fiza starts turning her brother and Maleeha's husband, Yasir (Fiasal Shah) against her. Zara in the meanwhile receives a 100% scholarship, and moves to Glasgow for her further education. Moving to London after a short period of time, Zara returns Maleeha every single penny she owed her, which Maleeha had spent over her in years of their friendship.
