Tanhai (Urdu: تنہائی, English: Loneliness) is a 2013 Pakistani television drama serial by Hum TV. It first aired on 27 February 2013 and went off-air on 10 July 2013. The serial was directed by Fahim Burney and written by Sarwat Nazeer. It was produced by Syed Afzal Ali and Momina Duraid, starring Sohai Ali Abro, Goher Mumtaz, Azfar Rehman, Ayesha Omar and Saba Hameed. It also aired in India on Zindagi under the same name.
The story starts with a flashback. Faiz (Goher Mumtaz) was married to Arzoo (Ayesha Omer) and loved her a lot. They had two children, but Arzoo wanted to be a working woman, not a mother. She meets Mohsin (Azfar Rehman) and he promises to give her everything she wants, so she leaves Faiz and marries Mohsin.
Faiz is living a broken-hearted and bitter life, when his mother (Saba Hameed) makes him marry for the second time, against his will. His mother chooses a young woman from a lower-middle-class family named Jia (Sohai Ali Abro). Jia does not agree to this as she wants to marry her cousin. She goes to Faiz's office and rejects him, where Faiz realizes that he cannot be defeated by any woman again. Using his contacts he get Jia's cousin transferred to Dubai. Jia's cousin tells her to wait for their marriage, and Jia realizes that he is a selfish man, so she decides to marry Faiz.
On the first night of their marriage, Jia finds out that Faiz has two children and is in shock. Faiz tells her that he only married her for the sake of his mother and his children. She asks her brother why he hid this truth from her, to which he replies that he only did it for her secure future. Jia's mother (Farah Nadeem) eventually finds out the truth and is devastated. In the first few days, the children hate her but eventually the children and Faiz get closer to her. Slowly, Jia's family start to accept her step-children as well.
