== Synopsis == Set in the Shahpur district, the story revolves around Wajdan (Sami Khan) and Anushay (Sarah Khan), who are in love with each other and plan to marry. Wajdan belongs to an upper class family and lives with his mother Mehtab Bano (Asma Abbas). Being the sole owner of the family riches and in the position of power, Mehtab Bano expects everyone to obey her whims. Wajdan loves his mother a lot and respects her every decision. Differences between them arise when Wajdan expresses his wish to marry Anushay. Mehtab Bano refuses as Anushay belongs to a middle class family. In her point of view, differences between class and status lead to poor relationships. On the other hand, Wajdan is adamant about marrying Anushay while Mehtab Bano begins to despise Anushay and goes on to plan her murder. As Anushay struggles between life and death, Mehtab Bano forces Wajdan to marry a girl of her own choice, Rania (Alizey Rasul). Wajdan is unable to accept Rania as his wife and tells her that he still loves Anushay. Saltanat-e-Dil is a compelling story of three individuals as they are manipulated by Mehtab Bano's tricks.

==Reception== Although the drama serial had a cast of Asma Abbas, Fazila Qazi, Sami Khan, and Sarah Khan it was disliked by some viewers due to the ascendency of Hindi serials, and that it was based on the familiar theme of one man with two wives. Syed Ali Raza Usama's direction was appreciated but despite its high budget it had poor ratings.
