Waqt Batayega Kaun Apna Kaun Paraya 10:30pm-11pm, Mon-Thurs

Waqt is a story of the adopted daughter of the Roy choudhary family named Rudra. Rudra was adopted by Biswajeet and his wife Yashomati. However despite her early consent for adoption, Yashomati could never treat Rudra as her own. Rudra often faced ostracism and humiliation,from her foster mother and brothers, but with a smile. Ironically nobody was aware of the fact that Rudra was a legitimate heir to the Roychoudhary family, except for her own daima, who was her real mother.

The story revolves around how, this so call adopted girl, supports her foster parents , especially Yashomati, after her own sons have deceived her. The story is about the fact that blood is not always thicker than water.
