Kadoorat is the story of a girl, Minah (Sanam Saeed), whose mother dies in a car accident when she is eight. Her father remarries to Atiqa (Angeline Malik), a mother of two. Minah’s father marries her so that she can take care of his child along with her two children. But Minah cannot accept them as her new family, so she creates problems for her step-family. In return, her father sends her to a hostel. The heartbroken Minah takes her father with a vengeance. After some years, when she returns home after completing her education, she deliberately tries to create problems for her family. She takes help from Shaheen (Nida Khan), her friend who secretly envies her for her money. With Shaheen's help, she jeopardises the lives of everyone around her, only to be fooled and trapped by Shaheen in return. This opens her eyes as her family stands by her. She seeks forgiveness from her family and tries to right all her wrongs.
