Shafaq is the most interesting character in this drama. Rahma Ali is acting well and playing the role of the depressed and tiresome Shafaq in the correct way.
So Shafaq wakes up the morning after the wedding and doesn’t remember why she fainted. Sar mein dard hogaya thha, she tells her mother. Her mother tried to give her some multi-vitamins but as usual Shafaq rejected them. Bachpan se kha rahi hun, koi farq nahi para. Her mother’s visit to the doctor informed us that this headache thing is new. Was Shafaq’s “mystery man” the one who triggered this?
I really like Shafaq’s mother’s character. She’s really concerned about her daughter and tries to cheer her up all the time. Yeh recipe book dekho,
aaj mein apne haath se tumhare liye koi achi cheez banaun gi!
Now I discovered, when they made part 2 of Hashir, they actually upgraded him from a level at the bottom to a higher one. Saqib is cheerful and vocal about his feelings. He knows what he wants and will definitely get it. Also, CSBA is not the idiotic love triangle you usually see. The love-at-first-sight was digestible when there was no lame love triangle. (TILL NOW!)
He grabbed the opportunity to convey his feelings to Saira when she came to his house along with her bro. Despite her constant ranting about mohabbat and paise ka talluq! She kept saying how love was all about money and he kept trying to tell her how much he loved her. And when she finally understood, khala ki beti se shadi karni hai tou khala se baat karni pare gi were her orders. I aww-ed at Saira’s brother’s cute sunglasses and his yeh kya horaha hai? But Saqib’s icecream lene chale jao offer was enough to distract him.
Maybe Saira will develop feelings for him now but her plans include only one thing, money, and that is why she can not love anyone completely. Whether she develops feelings for him or not, there is a big barrier between him and her in the form of Saqib’s Dad. Firstly, he doesn’t want his son to get married to a girl whose mother married without her father’s consent. Secondly, he has BIG plans for his son which include marrying him to his friend’s daughter.
Do share your thoughts on this episode of CSBA :)
