That lady is a good friend of Daniyal's real mother, who is also a lawyer. Meanwhile, Daniyal is sent to prison because the police thinks it is him who tried killing the girl.

She also says that she is Daniyal's mother. She knew the truth, just when Dilawar shot her. However, whilst knowing the truth she gets so shocked and overwhelmed with emotions, because she thought Daniyal was dead. She approaches Daniyal and tells him the truth.
