Story

'The Diplomat' is based on a real, 2017 incident in which a love affair develops between Uzma Ahmed (Sadia Khatib) and Pakistani citizen Tahir Ali (Jagjit Sandhu). Tahir invites Uzma to Pakistan, where she finds he is already married and has four children. Tahir tortures Uzma mentally and physically and forcibly marries her. The film revolves around her struggle when Uzma somehow escapes and reaches the Indian Embassy and seeks help from diplomat JP Singh (John Abraham).
