Before Lal Haveli became one of Rawalpindi’s most recognisable political landmarks, it was home to an extraordinary love story.
Dhan Raj Sehgal, a wealthy Hindu barrister, fell in love with Budhan Bai, a Muslim performer from Sialkot. He brought her to Rawalpindi and created a home where neither was asked to surrender their faith.
For years, their lives crossed boundaries that society preferred to keep apart. Then came 1947.
Partition divided Punjab, Dhan Raj left for India, and Budhan remained behind in the house they had shared. What followed was a remarkable chain of separation, a child, a return across the new border, family conflict, disputed property, violence—and finally the unexplained disappearance of Budhan Bai.
Decades later, Lal Haveli would acquire another reputation: stories of jinns, unexplained encounters and warnings surrounding the people who tried to possess it.
Inspired by surviving accounts and historical research, Lal Haveli: The Woman Who Disappeared is a haunting historical novella of love, faith, Partition and a mystery that never truly ended.
