The soundtrack, performed by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, is another reason the first episode leaves such a lasting impression. Even in the very first hour, the music hints at the spiritual and emotional transformation that the characters will undergo in later episodes. What to Expect Next

The episode opens by immersing the audience in the warm, chaotic, and loving world of Khaani's family. We see Khaani and her siblings busy preparing for a joint birthday celebration for her and her twin brother, Sarim. The atmosphere is light and jovial, with her younger sisters teasing her about her "cowardly" nature. In one telling scene, the girls play a prank on her by placing a plastic mouse on her bed, causing her genuine fright.
