Amba, a hard core Punjabi mother raises her girl child, Manpreet Pawania, as a boy. The show deals with its consequences. The show focuses on different situations. It shows the horrible gender discrimination still popular in society, and also every mother's love towards the child.
Amba has brought her own daughter Manpreet as a boy, to keep Mannu's father's title. She did this because Jaggan, Amba's brother-in-law was a cruel ruler and he may have destroyed the village - if given the power. Mannu now faces challenges while trying to push away his female qualities to become the son his mother needs. He befriends Raj Bajwa, a handicapped boy, who is neglected by his father of his disability. They both work together to try and bring peace to the village. Mannu's older sister, Simran (Simmi), has a love affair with Bajwa's eldest son Raman. Mannu sees this as an opportunity to bring the clashing families together, and form a bond of love between the Pawania and Bajwa families.
Now Manpreet has grown up to be Mannu and Raj falls for Preet who is also Mannu. But, Mannu comes to know that Raj was cheating her and wanted to destroy the respect of the Pawaniya family as he had a misconception that his elder brother was killed by Mannu. He reveals Mannu's reality and marries her for that sake. With the help of Amrit (Raj's mother), she gets enters the Bajwa's house. What happens next could best be described as a girl's fight for the love she deserves.
Urmimala Banerjee of Bollywood Life have commented "Waaris has the feel of the JP Dutta films of the 80s – earthy, masculine and dramatic. The highlight is obviously the performances. Right from Iqbal to Aarti Singh, they are in fine form. The plot has resemblances to Anup Singh’s Qissa. Here the difference is instead of the father, it’s the mother who makes her daughter live like a son. According to the makers, it is based on the tradition of Bacha Posh, which is quite prevalent in Afghanistan and Pakistan. With supernatural sagas and family dramas ruling TV, Waaris has a newer theme. It remains to be seen how the makers keep up the tempo, which is quite good in the first episode."
