Ohkay so honestly, it is getting harder & harder for me to sit through the episodes of Aabro now because even though they are heading towards the end, this is definitely not what we all were looking forward to. I remember there was one such episode that promised that Aabro as a drama might be a bit different than what we all usually see but nope, they have taken it down to such a typical path that I see no point or no purpose of the story whatsoever. Also, I am sure this won’t come as a shocker but I am thoroughly disappointed & also disgusted at how the writer has forced in the issue of marriage in the younger lot’s lives, like if she wanted to show that, they should’ve shown a time span of 25+ years, at least that way all these infants; Afsheen, Ahmed & Aima would’ve gotten enough time to grow up & be at a shadi-appropriate age & the writer would’ve saved herself from coming across as someone who is so fixated with the idea of wedding that she can’t think of anything better as right now how I see it, the only solution to all the problems that the writer has whether they are related to Aima, Ahmed or Afsheen is SHADI!
I didn’t enjoy watching this episode one bit & by the end I was at the verge of dozing off because this episode was not only slow but was boring as well. I find it amusing that Zubaida is in a deep slumber when Aima & Ahmed are screaming their lungs out when they’re trashing each other’s reputation but the moment she sees Afsheen even walking around, she doesn’t leave an opportunity & starts hovering around like a bad-rooh to haunt & taunt Afsheen. I wish if Zubaida had paid more attention towards Ahmed & Aima, she wouldn’t have worried about Afsheen as she is far more tameez-daar & gharelu than her favorite grandchildren.
Oh well, usually when I speak about getting annoyed, I refer to the ‘characters’ but this time around it’s the actor that has irritated me like anything & that is the girl playing the role of Aima. I don’t know her name nor do I wish to know but she is so annoying that I can’t stand her. Also, I am amazed that the writer has also pushed in the cards of Aima’s marriage, her boyfriend; their dating & their discussions of diamond jewelry whereas a toddler like her should be asking her mother about which brand of lip balm should she buy & which baby-lotion she should use. I am actually amazed at the writer’s perspective here that just because Fauzia has found out that Aima is in ‘louuuuu’ with a guy, she is now bent on getting her married to save herself from shame. What sort of a message the writer is trying to give here? Also, if this is the level of Fauzia’s typicality then why did the writer show her as a broad-minded socialite who was modern & liberal, when the child-marriage is all that she could think of when it comes to dealing with the problems her batameez beti is putting her up with? It is funny that Fauzia babysits & protects Aima who is the most ill-mannered & out of control kid ever seen but when it comes to Ahmed, Fauzia is far more strict with him than she should be just because he likes Afsheen?
Honestly, the conversation that Ali & Aabro had about their ‘Ek Hi Bhool’ & the brunt of the ‘saza’ that their child was facing was quite boring & has become repetitive. We know that Ali & Aabro believe that what they did was wrong. We know that till date no one has forgiven them for choosing to get married to each other. We know that nothing in their life will change ever, so what’s the point of showing us the same thing over & over again? Also, I am kind of getting tired by having my hopes high that things will change for Ali & Aabro but seems like the writer is making the most out of their misery because the misery is what brings them the ratings I believe!!!
Of all the people, I thought Abid was different & I am now amused at my assumption where I thought Abid will change Fauzia’s rude behavior but seems like it is Fauzia that changed Abid & turned him into a negative character too. Fauzia was a stronger kharbooza in this couple & Abid was a copy-cat because all the things he said to Ahmed came as a shock to me. He spoke about Ali & Aabro’s ‘kirdaar’ whereas I guess 20 or so years are more than enough to judge a person & know them in & out, but Abid still believes that their character isn’t good & Afsheen is not a good choice for Ahmed because of the things Ali & Aabro did? LOL! Does this even make sense? I thought may be Abid will be the one who will change everyone’s behavior towards Ali & Aabro but looks like even he has lost his senses. He has now started thinking & speaking like Fauzia that is why he thought it was a good idea to get Afsheen married to the son of his friend as this will assure that she will walk out of Ahmed’s life too!
I must say I got disappointed at the things Afsheen said to Ahmed too. She was telling him about the ‘samaaj ki deewar’ between them & reminded him about his maan baap ki objection but hello girl, I thought you only had education on your mind? So how did the idea of marriage take over everything & forced you to curb everything & start thinking about this matter? You’re hardly 18 years old so don’t you have anything better to think about? Oh I get it, this is what the writer chose for Afsheen too. LOL! I find it ridiculous that the writer only has everyone’s shadi on her mind. Ahmed’s shadi with Samra’s daughter. Aima’s shadi with either Abid’s friend’s son or her boyfriend & now Afsheen’s shadi with either Abid’s friend’s son or some bicycle mechanic whose family will make an appearance in the next episode & Afsheen will be seen crying buckets over her anparh husband-to-be. Hilarious!
I am so disappointed that I put my faith into the writer that she will show what a power of education is & how it can empower a girl who comes from a very poor family but nope, looks like this fixation of shadi got the better of our dear writer & she threw the potential this script had of being unique & different & chose to make all the characters walk down the aisle & say their vows as you know what, this is exactly what the teenagers & their parents should be thinking about in their lives & shadi is the only thing that matters. What a great lesson, hai na? Anyways, please share your thoughts about this shadi-ridden episode of Aabro.
Keep Supporting,
