Dil, Diya, Dehleez (Urdu: دل ديا دھليز) is a drama which is based on the novel of same name by Riffat Siraj. It was published by Khawateen digest, an Urdu monthly journal. Starting in March 2006, it aired on Hum TV in Pakistan. It was directed by Yasir Nawaz.
The story is set against the backdrop of the feudal system and looks at its resultant class distinctions, besides the unraveling of a seemingly perfect marriage due to the connivance of Zaiton Bano (Javeria Abbasi).
The initial episodes deal with the story of a young feudal heiress, Roshanay (Hiba Ali), and her budding love for one of her father's employees, Abdul Bari (Faisal Shah). Bari is a very strong and calm character who respects everyone in the Hawaili. Besides romantic encounters between the two that suggest a budding affection, no direct evidence is given. Not surprisingly, most of the members of Roshi's family are in the dark about her love for Bari. A suicide attempt following her frustration at her distant relationship with her father (Farhan Ali Agha) and brother, and the absence of any memories of her mother (Sara Chaudhry) (who she is told is long deceased), compels her grandfather to arrange for her marriage at the earliest, with a fellow feudal heir. Roshanay is devastated and makes every possible attempt to curb these developments, even requesting her father to delay the impending engagement ceremony.
Roshi's deceased mother's youngest sister, Maheen (Angeline Malik), enters the scene. In sharp contrast to the picture painted of Roshi's mother (through intermittent flashbacks), Maheen is a highly qualified lawyer who has had a liberal upbringing in the city and has stayed unmarried due to her involvement with her education. With her wildly curly hair and funky salwaar kameezes, Maheen is just the youthful presence Roshi needs. Her relationship with Roshi grows to the point that she accepts an offer of marriage with her father to stay close to Roshi. It is suggested that Maheen has accepted this offer to unearth information about her sister: She feels kept in the dark by her husband and his family. Her brief visit to the ancestral haveli where Roshi lives with her entire extended family, including much-too-brief meetings with Roshi and her brother, obvious lack of any reference to her deceased sister, and Roshi's unhappiness at being sent away soon after Maheen's arrival, leave her mystified. The fact that Maheen is the only person Roshi trusts enough to share her love for Bari with attests to their close bond.
