Plot
Chalawa is supernatural story of a young girl named Sawera who is possessed by birth by a Chalawa (a type of supernatural demon) having the ability of betrayal and illusion. Her father Aamir had died before her birth but little did she know that Professor Hamdani was behind the betrayal who on the other hand seemed to be a savior to her mother Mahnoor earlier in her childhood after he "helped" get rid of the Chalawa named Sarnash from Sawera.{{Cite web|title=Chalawa|url=https://www.hum.tv/dramas/chalawa/|access-date=2021-04-07|language=en-US|archive-date=5 November 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211105023903/https://www.hum.tv/dramas/chalawa/|url-status=dead}}
