So, this was finally the very first elimination of Pakistan Idol. I guess it was completely justified but yes to see some of the contestants being in the safe zone did come as a surprise.

In the beginning Mohib asked the judges about who did they like the most in the Friday night performances, I am glad the chosen contestants were actually the ones who deserved the recognition. Hadiqa Kiyani picked Waqas Ali, Waqas Ali Vicky & Kashif Ali. Ali Azmat said he liked Asad Raza Sonu, Waqas Ali & Kashif Ali. According to Bushra Ansari the best performances came from Waqas Ali, Waqas Ali Vicky & Kashif Ali. I am sure these three will go a long way in this journey of Pakistan Idol & I wish more power to them but I also hope that they choose the songs wisely & especially such sort of songs which get clicked with the audience as well.

So, the very first three contestants who came for the results were Waqas Ali, Sana Zulfikaar & Asad Raza Sonu. I thought that may be Asad Raza Sonu would be one of the bottom 3 among this lot but sadly & shockingly the result was unexpected. Waqas Ali was unsafe from the lot whereas he is the most in-form singer of the lot.

After them Zamad Baig & Kashif Ali came to face the results. I was hopeful & almost sure that both of them would be safe & especially for Kashif’s fans, fortunately he was safe. Hadiqa Kiyani also stated that she would leave her judge’s spot IF Kashif wasn’t safe & she meant it. I am sure she will extend all sorts of support to Kashif because he deserves it.

Next to face the results were Abdul Rafay Khan, Rosemary & Syed Sajid Abbas. All three of them were safe & I am really happy because no doubt their performances were amazing.

After them it was the turn of Mohammad Shoaib & Waqas Ali Vicky to face the results. I think it would’ve been unfair IF in comparison to Waqas Ali Vicky, Shoaib had gotten selected. So, at this point when it was announced that Shoaib was unsafe, I thought it was a right decision because Waqas Ali Vicky had all the reasons to be in the safe zone.

The last three contestants to face the results were Mehwish Maqsood, Ali Asad Zaidi & Shahmir Aziz Quidwai. At this point I thought any one of them except Ali Asad Zaidi really deserved to be in the bottom three because we clearly had some weak performances from those two & yes as expected Ali Asad Zaidi was safe, Mehwish went to the danger zone, which was justified.

In the end when Mohib asked the judges about who they think should make it to the top 12, their clear picks were Waqas Ali & Mehwish Maqsood. None of them thought Mohammad Shoaib should be given a chance once again but luckily for him, he was safe along with Waqas Ali. So, this came to our very first elimination of Pakistan Idol & it was of Mehwish Maqsood. The judges were teary, Ali Azmat & Bushra Ansari both declared all of the contestants & Mehwish Maqsood the winner. I am sure this is what we will hear by the end of every single elimination. Mehwish no doubt seemed promising during her audition & I thought she had a long way to go but sadly, her graph declined from there onwards.

So, yes I am not so disappointed at her elimination & I wish her good luck for the future.
What do you guys think, her elimination was expected & justified?

Am I the only one who cannot help but praise the writer and director of this play over and over again primarily because they have left absolutely no loopholes in the story at all. It is probably the only play on air right now in which you can relate to everything that all of the characters are going through. When Sehrish decided to leave the house tonight, I couldn’t help but think that she was right in doing so. I always found it strange that Sehrish and Ehtesham were still living in the same house even after everything that had transpired. Whatever happened later on kept me at the edge of my seat. Every step of the way I found myself thinking “Oh! this is so not right!” but then the way things were taken forward was very convincing.

Ehtesham and Saniya had their first normal conversation after a long time tonight. Although the conversation ended abruptly and lasted for less than a minute but it was a huge development in the story. The way Saniya hung up on Ehtesham was the perfect way to end that conversation. Roomi depends on Ehtesham emotionally and otherwise too without being apprehensive because he can see that this man will do anything to make things right. He sees a father figure in Ehtesham because he has all the qualities which Roomi looked for in a father. If it wasn’t for Roomi, the story wouldn’t have moved forward in the direction in which it is going right now. Roomi kept on reaching out for “uncle” even though his mother kept on telling him not to do so. Even Roomi’s character and what he does is very relatable. Children usually have a very strong intuition; Roomi always saw his father belittling his mother and therefore he had no respect for him even though Saniya kept on telling him to listen to his father. Ehtesham on the other hand has always been there for his mother and him. He has never once insulted Saniya in front of Roomi or behind his back. This is the reason why he feels secure with Ehtesham.

Sehrish is officially out of Ehtesham’s life for now and Saniya is gradually getting closer to Ehtesham. Ehtesham still loves Sehrish, that is why he ran after her when she left the house. Even after everything that happened, he did not want Sehrish to leave. But right now he is not willing to go out of his way to bring Sehrish back because he knows only too well that bringing Sehrish back home is not going to solve the problem. The issues between them will only be resolved when Sehrish realizes that she was wrong all along. Sehrish, on the other hand is not willing to make the first move because she does not want to go back to Ehetsham on his terms and conditions. The fact that Saniya is living in their house now is not going to help the situation at all.

The child star playing Roomi has completely won me over; he is adorable and talented. Sanam Saeed has been superb as Saniya throughout. Adeel Hussein is one actor who never lets you down no matter what.

Thank you Team Shukk once again for a gripping episode with powerful portrayals, a storyline that keeps you looking forward to more and flawless direction. These 17 episodes have been action packed and thoroughly entertaining. The story gets more interesting with every passing episode and we can only guess what will happen next….now that is what I call wholesome entertainment!

So finally Gala round is here & the real competition has begun. I would’ve liked it a bit more if it didn’t start off with the performance that we saw. I wish being the actual singers – only Ali Azmat & Hadiqa Kiyani had performed but what I saw was something I wish I hadn’t.

It’s a known fact that artists once in their career do come up to a particular point where in sheer frustration or to prove a certain point they make wrong choices, I think this is exactly what Bushra Ansari’s been facing. I don’t know why she found this urge in her to re-establish herself as a playful teenaged singer which looks anything but decent. I also believe she should go easy on the acting she does while listening to the performances of the contestants because I feel she focuses more on lip syncing rather than judging the technicalities with intricacy. Go easy Bushra Aunty, it would suit you a lot. :)

Even though this was the very first Gala round & almost all the performances were good but in my personal opinion none of the contestants made a mark or raised the bar high. I know all of them must be nervous because from now on for the first time they have started to compete for the title of Pakistan Idol but I didn’t find any performance that touched me except a few. So, this week’s theme was sort of a tribute to all the classic songs that were a part of olden golden Pakistani films, songs choices were brilliant & we got to hear some real ethnic songs.

The commentary on all the contestants who performed is as follows:

Rosemary (RM) of Karachi sang Noor Jahan’s ‘Chandni Raatain’. She was good as usual but I feel she could’ve done better. Nevertheless I am sure she will be safe & through to the next round. Bushra Ansari liked her performance but pointed out once again that she was running out of breath, Ali Azmat appreciated her performance saying he couldn’t pick any mistake. Hadiqa Kiyani’s comment was perfect saying that no contestant should be compared with the actual singer who sang that song because none of those singers can be reborn so all the contestants should be judged based on their own capability, for which I agree with her completely.

Shahmir Aziz Quidwai (SQ) of Islamabad sang Ahmed Rushdi’s ‘Jaisay Jantay Nahi’. I don’t know why he calls himself a rock artist because he sounds too soft to be a rock singer. One of the main reasons for why I say that is because his voice can never overlap the music whereas the only main asset of a rock singer is the power, the throw & the loudness in a voice but the song which he attempted today was exactly what matched his vocal tone, so he should explore more genre’s that match his voice tone. Bushra Ansari & Ali Azmat appreciated him but Hadiqa Kiyani said she couldn’t enjoy his singing as he committed clear mistakes on the notes.

Waqas Ali (WA) of Rawalpindi sang Mehdi Hassan’s ‘Mere Dil Se Zindagi Bhar’. Just when I thought to myself that he sounded so mature as a singer, the next thing I heard Hadiqa Kiyani say was more or less the same. According to her he sang it just like a professional singer. Ali Azmat thought he was faking his voice but Bushra Ansari said she enjoyed his singing a lot.

Ali Asad Zaidi (AZ) of Karachi sang Mehdi Hassan’s ‘Dunya Kisi Ke Pyaar Mein’. I think he needs to open up a bit, it looks like he holds back a lot while singing & doesn’t open up his mouth to project the words with clarity. He clearly had some issues in low notes & Bushra Ansari mentioned it as well. Hadiqa Kiyani said she found certain mistakes in his high notes as well. But luckily for him, he already has a strong fan base & for that I am sure he will be safe too & he should be because he is a great singer, it just wasn’t one of his days.

Mohammad Shoaib (MS) of Peshawar sang Mehdi Hassan’s ‘Ranjish Hi Sahi’. It has to be one of the most difficult songs that were attempted in this round & he always makes such choices. He sounded so peaceful & soothing but the judges thought the opposite. Hadiqa Kiyani’s comment didn’t make any sense because she said his approach towards the song was shallow & both Ali Azmat & Bushra Ansari felt that he lacked the feel & expression, which didn’t sound like it anyways but I hope he gets the votes & is safe too.

Mehwish Maqsood (MM) of Lahore sang Noor Jahan’s ‘Banwari Chakori’. I wasn’t too impressed by this performance I don’t know why but she sounded like she had a sore throat. Bushra Ansari pointed out that she ran out of breath but Ali Azmat liked her performance, Hadiqa Kiyani was once again honest & said she sounded too forceful & harsh. Hadiya Kiyani also mentioned something important that the lyrics should be given special consideration & should be projected with clarity.

Zamad Baig (ZB) of Mandi Bahauddin sang Ahmed Rushdi’s ‘Keeya Hai Jo Pyaar To’. He was as usual flawless & confident. The best thing about his performance is that he sings with such an ease that he makes it a joy to listent to. All the judges appreciated him & Hadiqa Kiyani commended him on the rawness & husk of his voice which differentiates him from rest of the contestants. He no doubt is the most in-form singer of the lot.

Waqas Ali Vicky (WV) of Miyan Channu sang Mehdi Hassan’s ‘Abb Ke Hum Bichre’. I think he clearly had some issues in the lower notes which was quite audible but none of the judges picked out any of his mistakes & all of them liked his performance a lot. I hope he gets a lot of votes because no doubt he has a very soothing voice too & is one of my favorites.

Abdul Rafay Khan (RK) of Karachi sang Mehdi Hassan’s ‘Pyaar Bharay Do Sharmeelay Nain’. He was great but the judges pointed out quite a few mistakes. Hadiqa Kiyani wasn’t impressed at all & said he lost control of his notes many times. Ali Azmat agreed as well but also said that his singing had a certain feel to it. I liked his performance as well.

Syed Sajid Abbas (SA) of Karachi sang Ahmed Rushdi’s ‘Socha Tha Pyaar Na Karainge’. He was effortless & it was a very very sweet performance from him. All the judges loved it Bushra Ansari said she enjoyed it, Ali Azmat did pick a little mistake but said he enjoyed the performance over all. Hadiqa Kiyani was all praises for him as well.

Asad Raza Sonu (RS) of Lahore sang Mehdi Hassan’s ‘Jab Koi Pyaar Se’. He was good though but I don’t know I felt he was just good & nothing extra ordinary. Judges liked his performance a lot & Hadiqa Kiyani said he puts a certain feel to his song & portrays the emotions right. Ali Azmat & Bushra Ansari also praised him saying he justified the song.

Sana Zulfikaar (SZ) of Lahore sang Noor Jahan’s ‘Sada Ho Apne Pyaar Ki’. I thought she did sing well but without any emotion & she sang it in a hurry. The thing I love about Hadiya Kiyani is that no matter how much she likes a contestant, she would never sugar coat whenever she’d pointing out their mistakes. Hadiqa felt that she sounded too forceful & not at all smooth whereas Ali Azmat & Bushra Ansari liked her performance.

Kashif Ali (KA) of Lahore who was selected as a Wild Card Contestant sang Masood Rana’s ‘Bhool Jana Gham Dunya De’. What a brilliant performance once again I must say. Hadiqa Kiyani was as usual overwhelmed because of his singing & all the three judges praised him which he totally deserved. So, finally the moment that we all waited for was here & Kashif Ali made it as a 13th contestant. I hope we see him the top 3 because he certainly is a brilliant singer.

So, this was it from the very first Gala round. I liked the performances of Syed Sajjid Abbas, Waqas Ali Vicky, Kashif Ali, Mohammad Shoaib, Waqas Ali & Abdul Rafay Khan the most. Once again it would be a tough decision to make & let’s see who doesn’t make it through. Who did you like the most, which ones were your favorite performances & who are you voting for? Do share with us. :)

Honestly speaking, I am tired of fishing out the good bits from mediocre episodes with repetitive scenes. The only thing that was reinforced in this episode was that Nabeel had a good reason for falling for someone like Romaissa. Romaissa may not be very smart but she is genuine, in need of love, someone who would value love and also someone who Nabeel can trust with his eyes closed. No amount of money can make up for the sort of attitude Nabeel’s family has been giving him. The fact that Nabeel is going to transfer the house that they live in to Romaissa’s name too was a little hard to digest.

Alia’s conversations with her fiancé are getting highly repetitive. They have absolutely nothing better to talk about other than the usual easy load issues or more like non issues! Or it is always about Alia comparing her fiancé with Nabeel.

Hassan was given a lot more screen time than he deserved. He is definitely not one of the most important characters in the play but is one of the many side characters which most of the people are tired of watching already. Okay, so he is not just someone who lives on his brother in law’s money but he also has a very colorful personality. I have no idea why tonight’s episode opened with Hassan flirting with a girl and most of the happenings later on were in some way or the other connected to it. We already know only too well that Hamnah is very gullible so if this whole fiasco went to show how easy it was for Hassan to fool Hamnah then it was quite unnecessary.

Romaissa is really being unbelievably nice now. When she was living with Khala, it was easier to understand why she had to please everyone but now that she has a good reason not to look back, she still keeps in touch with her Khala’s family forgetting the fact that her Khala literally sold her to Nabeel! Why would she want to go back to stay at her Khala’s place? She never got along with anyone there and she keeps on insisting herself that her life before she met Nabeel was anything but perfect.

Only nine episodes of the serial have gone on air till now but I am losing interest in the story already. The story really needs to pick up pace so that things start moving ahead. All the characters and their relationships with each other have been well established, I am really interested in finding out how they will take the story forward now. There isn’t a single person in Nabeel’s family whose scenes are worth looking forward to. Romaissa’s family, just like Nabeel’s, has nothing new to add to the story. We know that both these families are dysfunctional and that is the reason why Romaissa and Nabeel value love and loyalty so much but is that it?

I am losing interest in the play with every passing episode. There are times when the lead actors’ acting is so unimpressive that I feel frustrated because I know that they are capable of doing much better. Unfortunately the developments in tonight’s episode and also the preview of the next episode gave me absolutely nothing to look forward to.

To be honest, every week I dread tuning to this program because I know it’s just going to be a mind-teaser & surprise surprise I wasn’t proven wrong this week too. Nothing is making sense in the drama & no character is worth sympathizing for. What a waste of time I must say!

Just by looking at Dad I wondered if he is feeling remorse of any sorts because he spoiled his daughter’s life. Luckily, Eva survived his tactics because Rehbar took her away from him otherwise Dad actually wanted to throw Rehbar out of her life as well or may be he only had an acceptance to their relation because Rehbar was nothing but a puppet that lived right in front of his eyes. Sadly, what he did with Eeshal was absolutely insane. I hope he rots in his guilt because what Eeshal’s facing right now is a result of his planning. Plus on the other side, Eva & Dad’s conversation made NO SENSE at all. She cried because she thought Sunny scolded Eeshal because of her, all of a sudden Eva felt so much for her poor sister but where was this very same Eva when her younger sister was going to her in-laws place? She didn’t even bother seeing her off at her wedding night & how come all of a sudden Eva developed such an insight as to feel something for someone? Isn’t she a conceited little fool who has no brains whatsoever? Once again the dumb & dumber conversation was forced & looked like they had no dialogues to work with so they just blabbered whatever popped into their minds.

Sunny permitted Arez to meet Ali & all of a sudden Rehbar tells Eeshal on the phone that Arez was furious & wanted to meet Ali, whereas he already had met him. Eeshal starts planning with Rehbar that how Arez could meet Ali? When Sunny in the very first place ALLOWED Arez to meet Ali so where did things go wrong? No verbal spat was shown & nothing was ever said to Sunny to hurt his 1gram ego so why the fuss was created once again out of thin-air? All I saw was that Soni came & started begging Sunny for rescuing her & Arez told her off, that’s it. So, why was Arez once again seeking Sunny’s permission & why was he not allowing it?

I actually advise the actor playing the role of Sunny to stop acting because seems like annoying is his second-name & he by all means redefines & owns it. In the beginning of the drama reviews I got a pointer from the writer herself saying that Rehbar & Eva have a very strong role to play in this story & now when we’re almost at the end of it, I am still waiting for their feed. I did hear the term Halala being used without any grounds to it, so is this what Rehbar would do? Get Eeshal married again to Arez? Is this what the story’s all about? I hope it finishes off ASAP because this senseless drama is getting on my nerves now!

After a few disappointing weeks, we finally got to see an episode with some substance. I am sure most of you were in tears while watching the episode (I definitely was!). Sheheryar Munawar Siddiqui acted brilliantly in this episode; his expressions, the way he cried, and even his dialogue delivery was spot on. All the scenes between mother and son were emotionally charged. Saba Hameed was also brilliant in all her scenes!

Aaliyan might be upset with his mother but he still went to the hospital to visit her. Years of anger and resentment were buried inside him and he just could not forgive her for leaving him even though she tried to explain him the reason. Their last meeting was disastrous as Aaliyan again lashed out on her, and simply refused to let her love him or even come close to him. He regretted his decision later on when he got to know that his mother had passed away the next morning. Shamsa had desperately wanted to meet her son in the last few minutes of her life, but he did not feel important to pick up Qudsiya’s call who was trying to reach him to tell him about Shamsa’s condition.

Qudsiya was highly disappointed with Aaliyan’s behavior; she was shocked at the indifference he showed towards his own mother. She did not like the way he had behaved with Shamsa when he knew that she was unwell. She had avoided speaking to Aaliyan since they met again but this time she could not help but lash out at him for being so insensitive.

The scene where Aaliyan goes near Shamsa’s body and cries his heart out was a heart wrenching scene. He showed how much he loved her in that scene though he was not able to express it when she was alive. I really wish they had shown a happy reunion between Aaliyan and Shamsa before she died. At least Aaliyan would not have to live with the guilt that he never showed any affection or love towards her.

Dado had always remained tight lipped about his mother, but now the guilt was eating her up inside and she finally revealed that Shamsa was never at fault and he had been told lies all along. Aaliyan was devastated to hear the truth and hurt by the betrayal from his own family. If only Dado had revealed the truth about his mother when she was alive, then at least he would have spent her last few days without being upset with her.

Dado was surprised when Qudsiya called her to ask about Aaliyan and then gave the news of Shamsa’s death. Aaliyan had not told her that Qudsiya knew Shamsa and she was curious to know how they knew each other. Aaliyan himself did not know her relation with his mother and Shahnawaz. Technically, he should have known by now that Qudsiya worked there. But then Qudsiya was treated more like family than an employee and all he could tell Dado was that she was close to Aaina. It seems that he still has doubts about Shahnawaz and Qudsiya’s relationship.

Qudsiya’s mother is an extremely annoying character. She came to Shahnawaz’s house to give condolence, but then could not help but state her opinion about Qudsiya living alone with Shahnawaz in his house. It was just not the time or place to say this because Shahnawaz needs Qudsiya’s support for a while to help him deal with Aaina after Shamsa’s death.

Natasha has left the house once again and this time no one bothered to stop her except Rana. Aaliyan has had enough of her now and I doubt he will make any attempt this time to bring her back.

The preview for the next episode really seems promising. I hope we finally get to see Qudsiya and Aaliyan together!

Till Next Week!

This show is exceeding my expectations week after week. We got more insight into Bunty’s old life in this episode, and we also know now that Dania is clearly infatuated with Bunty. She feels as if her teenage days are back when she is with him and she is in love with this feeling of being young again. She wants to give Bunty all the luxuries in life and in return she wants his company and his attention.

The surprising part was that Dania was trying to buy Bunty’s affection. This has already been tried on her by Patel and he had failed. What is the point of trying it again when it is bound to fail? Bunty is shown as an innocent boy who is in awe of Dania and the luxuries that she had bestowed on him, and like any boy of his age he wants to show off his new status to his friends. He had thought of Dania as his employer, but she had made him his friend. She wants to share her lifestyle with him, and she gave him the first glimpse of it when she took him to the party.

Dania was extremely excited to take Bunty to the party and introduce him to her friends. Bunty was not at ease with the environment and uncomfortable dancing with Dania at first, but he adjusted after a while. Now that Bunty is a part of her life, she refuses to share him with anyone and it totally spoiled her mood when he was constantly being called by someone. Her mood became worse when she got to know that it is a girl. Bunty told her truthfully that she was his friend Jedi’s sister who always degraded him; though he omitted the fact that he likes her, but unfortunately the feeling is not mutual.

He tried his best to make Mehwish jealous by giving her details of his new lifestyle, and the party he has been to. He was successful in making her shocked and a bit jealous too. He thought that she will finally take some interest in him now that he matches up to her status. Mehwish thought that he was lying about the whole matter till she saw him in the new car and suit herself when he visited her house. But then she did not want to show that she was impressed and tried her best to ignore him. I truly felt bad for Bunty when he barred his heart in front of Mehwish and gave her the ring and she cruelly rejected him once again by throwing the ring in his face (figuratively of course!)

Bunty is still not aware of Dania’s intention but he knows she is a respectable woman who is just in need of his company for a while. It was obvious with the way he was defending her in front of Jedi that he respects her alot and does not feel that she has any dishonorable intentions.

Dania, on the other hand, is clearly smitten by Bunty. She was furious when she thought that Bunty lied to her about the phone call, but immediately brightened up when he complimented her. She fulfils all his wishes even before he says it. She thinks she owns Bunty and hated the fact that he had went out without informing her. She was restless the whole time as she feared that he had lied to her once again. One scene that was beautifully shot was the one in which she hears Patel’s voice and feels his presence around her. The fear and restlessness was beautifully portrayed by Saba Qamar.

This show is turning out to be extremely interesting. I am waiting to see what happens next!

Ohkay so this episode focused more on Neelam & Taimoor’s love story, which made me wonder all this while that what was the force which dragged Taimoor to fall for an immature girl like Neelam?

Yes, Neelam is a spoiled girl who always got pampered from her mother especially, once again making it pretty obvious that Naani was unreasonable even in dealing with Neelam, because she showered her with extra love & attention & walked an extra mile for her. So, yes because of all that Neelam became spoiled to the core. The scene of Neelam’s mother & brother was enough of a proof to let us know what sort of support she used to get from her mother so I am not going to blame Neelam for how she turned out to be because sadly her mother never taught her the tact of being reasonable & considerate which made her become a complete selfish snot.

All this while I thought what did actually Taimoor find him Neelam who treated him like a doormat? But then in stead of feeling hatred for Neelam, I thought Taimoor was entitled to everything that she put him up with because a guy like Taimoor didn’t deserve a nice submissive wife. He is one of those who can not value the attention & consideration their wives shower them with so for this reason he completely forgot all that his wife did for him & very conveniently got tangled with an immature girl who was not only demanding but also was degrading towards him.

I think in all this matter no one else is to be blamed, not Neelam, not Taimoor’s wife but Taimoor himself because he got swayed by the existence of his pretty student & he was ready to put on stake everything that he ever owned, even it if costed him his only son – Surmed. Taimoor was definitely unjust in dealing with his wife because he didn’t give her a due share of credit & respect that she ever deserved.

I believe they thought Neelam’s winged eyeliner was enough of a reminder for us all that she belonged to the 90’s era whereas looking at her statement necklaces & skin-fit jeans it evidently spoke the opposite. All this while I thought she was just doing some simple graduation but getting to know that she was a student of MBBS – this was another deet that was shocking. I never thought that shopping, meaningless affair & MBBS can go hand-in-hand but then it doesn’t matter, we’re talking about Neelam & she can do anything.

I felt that Neelam/Taimoor’s extremely candid scenes wouldn’t have looked so bad IF Taimoor didn’t have the whole guilt baggage that he carried with him. So, yes I definitely blame Taimoor & I feel he is a villain & Surmed took that all after him & in fact he is over-doing it now. Let’s see what happens next.

Just finished watching this week’s installment and all I said is Wow! What an episode. No matter how much exhausted you are, Serials like Pyarai Afzal are not less than a cool breeze that blows and freshen up your mind-state.Hamza Ali stole the limelight once again this week and I got spell bounded with every word that he uttered and every expression he gave throughout the episode. Perfect piece of acting by him!

It seems that destiny has planned something else for Afzal and Farah’s relation and this is the reason why he missed the call when Farah was about to break the ice in front of her parents. Arfa,knowing a part of reality decided not to tell anything about that call. Because for her,Lubna is the princess of Afzal’s dreams and Farah is the evil sister who is creating hurdles for them. So being a well-wisher,she decided better to stay out of it.

Afzal’s changed life style has now started bringing impact on his friends. His loyalty towards his friends always remained unquestioned and for that his friends never compelled him to pick the way that goes against his and his parents will. And now that his friend was in need of cash, Afzal was ready to give it in place of him without having any second thought. It has been said, kabhi kabhi aik lamha he kaafi hota hai and that was the moment when his friend decided that he won’t be taking part in anything that involves gamble in it from now on.

Lubna is a perfect planner; She always know what to do next and for that Farah relies on her always and this time it was Lubna again who forced Farah to get ready and I must admit that Aiza Khan looked ravishing and entrancing; Navy Blue suited her so well. Farah’s “Crisis Management” technique failed badly when she came to know that Afzal was right there at her door. Did anyone notice ever that figure 9 is of prime importance in this show; Anything important that has to take place always revolve around this figure, haan, a.m. and p.m. varies.. :)

Afzal’s meeting with Farah’s father was another interesting part of today’s episode. The way he answered every single question of his FIL-to be was more than enough to satisfy his expectations from Afzal. He was impressed by Afzal right from the day when he left the job after being accused of what he had not done and there was no room of doubt left when he met him and heard  Afzal’s point of view about his and Farah’s relation. Despite of the fact that he was not trained by Farah and Lubna this time, all the do’s and dont’s were handled by Afzal really well. The look at Afzal’s face when Farah entered dining area worth million dollar.

After the sad demise of Farah’s plan :p , she discussed rather yelled at Afzal (like always) that what he has to do next – ofcourse, with the help of Lubna. Goofy hai na Farah bechaari.. At that time, all I felt was the difference in Farah and Lubna’s tones – Former shouting out loud and latter speaking softly and politely. I felt bad when Afzal was left helpless by being forced to agree to what Farah and Lubna said.

I am not going to unveil the charm by narrating the preview of next episode but I want to tell that we will be seeing Mehtab in next episode again.. :)
