== Story ==
The story highlights the living conditions of a very poor family in Pakistan and the hardships and difficulties they face to earn a living. Things are never easy for Khushi (commonly known as Pagli) and her family, with Akbar Ali ( their father) selling newspapers but hardly earning anything, Zuleikha (her mother) working as a maid in a rich house but always getting insulted by the owner, while she and Bano (her sister) wash car mirrors on the roads. Ummo (her brother) works in a workshop. They are in such a miserable condition that they mostly have nothing to eat. The parents are worried about Khushi's marriage but cannot afford a dowry. The story takes a turn, and finally, a proposal comes for Khushi, but it is not just a marriage proposal; it is a one-year contract with selfish intentions behind it.
The story explores how the elite rich class manipulates the poor class for their motives and then discards them once they are no longer needed, and the concept of money as a powerful force which can lead parents to take unethical steps.<ref>{{Cite news|url = http://www.tv.com.pk/tvshow/Kash-Mai-Teri-Beti-Na-Hoti/42/story|title = Beti Ka Sauda Story}}</ref>
