==Plot== ''Teri Raza'' centers on Suhana, a young college student in love with her chauvinist classmate Rameez. Her parents arrange a marriage for her with her older, well-settled relative, Imtiaz, after an Istikhara is performed by her grandmother. Suhana initially resists but eventually agrees to the marriage when Rameez's careless attitude leads her to believe he is not serious about their relationship. After marrying Imtiaz, Suhana cannot adjust to her new life and remains in love with Rameez. Imtiaz, realizing her feelings, divorces her, and she returns to Rameez. Due to his grandmother mother's pressure, Imtiaz marries her colleague Seema, leading Suhana to move on. Thus, she marries Rameez despite the opposition of her family who cut the ties with her after her decision. Her marriage suufers due to chauvinism of Rameez and his ture nature. At this turbulent stage, Suhana then learns that Imtiaz still loves her.
