Kaanch Ka Pul (Urdu: کانچ کا پل, lit. 'The Glass Bridge') is a 1981 Pakistani television long play written by Younus Javed[1][2] and produced and directed by Mohammad Nisar Hussain for PTV.[3]
Plot
The central character is Shahida, a doctor who operates a clinic serving underprivileged patients.[4] She lives with her mother, Begum Nisar, who is sympathetic to her circumstances. Begum Nisar wishes to arrange Shahida's marriage to a prosperous man, but Shahida declines, having been affected by the breakdown of her parents' marriage and her own earlier broken engagement. She chose to live with her mother following her parents' divorce. Margaret, a nurse and close friend, provides Shahida with emotional support. Shahida's estranged father later visits to inform her that he is relocating to California, a meeting that unsettles Begum Nisar. Shortly afterwards, Shahida's cousin Yousaf returns from abroad and seeks to marry her; she refuses, as he had previously abandoned their planned marriage. Shahida subsequently takes on the care of a mute and physically disabled child named Gullu, following the death of his parents. Over time, Gullu regains the ability to speak and walk. When he is older, Gullu confesses his love for Shahida.[5]
