Opening Thoughts – Filler With A Bit of Important Details:
Ohkay so, I hope this was probably the last filler episode of Cheekh that we saw this week, however I am glad that the story has finally moved to that phase where the case has been taken to the court. I hope they don’t drag things further & carry on with the case with a decent pace. The most important scene of this episode turned out to be the very last scene but then again, that’s where it ended.
Atrocious Acts of Intimidation:
This episode mainly focused on how Mannat & her mother were being intimidated & how Mannat was fighting back. After whatever happened at Mannat’s home, she had one thing clear that no matter what happens, the police won’t be siding with her at all. It was unnecessary but more than half of the episode was dedicated to Mannat’s mother & how scared she was, which made it obvious that this was a filler episode.
The one thing that I found quite interesting to learn about was Yawar’s character. They showed how he can not father a child but has made his wife Shahwar believe that she has the complications & not him. This aspect cleared two things; the first one being the reason why he takes Wajih as his child, that is because Yawar can not have his own, that is why he has started to look for that love in Wajih’s existence. The second one being the reason why Yawar is not even thinking for a second about Nayab or even Mannat. Since he is someone who has no issues betraying the trust of his wife, probably the woman who trusts him the most, therefore for a person like Yawar, Nayab or even Mannat hold no importance at all. I kind of enjoyed how the writer has added all this depth & detailing in a supporting but very important character like Yawar. I also felt that by letting this detail lose now, the writer has kind of left a little opening, kind of a little piece of puzzle that Shahwar will stumble upon & when she will hold onto it, she will end up supporting Mannat because she will learn how Yawar was fooling her. Shahwar will also realize that when Yawar can lie to her about such a sensitive subject for years, see her suffering in misery & can make her feel like she is the culprit, then he can lie about Wajih too. I am sure for someone as submissive as Shahwar, it had to be something this big for her to be convinced to go against her husband & help Mannat. It is interesting how the writer has added these minor details & is building things up from there like first Shahwar getting to hear Wajih confess & now Yawar holding this deep dark secret in his heart.
Shayan finally warned Wajih & told him openly that even he stands against his younger brother for the crime that he has committed. Even though it was nice that Shayan told Mannat to hire a lawyer, I found it funny that Mannat was ready to fight for Nayab but didn’t even think about getting a lawyer until Shayan said so.
Closing Thoughts – Half Hit, Half Miss:
Overall, this episode was half hit half miss. I liked a few things & didn’t enjoy the rest. However I am glad that things have finally moved forward. I am interested to see who plays the role of Mannat’s lawyer. I know this is a super random guess but I feel Khalid Malik should play this role, he will fit it best. Anyways, any guesses? Please share your thoughts about this episode of Cheekh.

Tonight’s episode of Ranjha Ranjha Kardi covered how the relationship dynamics changed after Noori found out that Nusrat knew her background. It was difficult for Noori to comply yet she had no choice. Noori’s puzzled frame of mind, the affects the medicines had on Bhola and Sahir’s new role in this entire situation was covered convincingly. This episode laid the foundations for more important future developments. Imran Ashraf continues to impress, his performance has been faultless. Iqra Aziz makes her presence felt in every single scene even though there are times when you want to know more about what is going on in Noori’s mind.
New Developments
The tables turned today when Chacha told Noori that he knew everything about her background. Nusrat used this information to stop Noori from ‘interfering’ and from asking questions, Noori didn’t have a choice and had to conform. All these scenes covering how Nusrat made sure Noori knew who was in control and Noori’s helplessness were brilliantly executed. The outcome of Bhola’s visit to the doctor was quite similar to the last visit. Noori’s reaction when she looked at his medicines clearly suggested that these were the same medicines Bhola was given previously. Bhola’s innocence once again reflected from the scene when he teased Noori before going to the hospital. This was surely not the first time that Chacha took him for an ‘unpleasant’ outing yet he was thrilled. In one of the previous episodes when Bhola was uncontrollable, Nusrat gave him medicine and pretended to be really concerned about him, he has executed his plan very intelligently by making Bhola trust him just as much as his mother does.
Tonight, Nusrat’s behavior should have made Noori question what he was hiding, why he felt so insecure and why did these medicines have this affect on Bhola. Is Noori thinking on these lines or not? I am waiting to find out. Right now, the only thing on Noori’s mind is her survival. She cannot stand to have the husband-wife relationship with Bhola but after everything Fehmida said to her in the previous episode, she knows she cannot say no to Bhola. At the same time Noori wants to continue living in this house which basically means that she is willing to pay the ‘price’ for it even though it is killing her inside! The preview of the next episode suggested just that.
Quite tactfully, Sahir let Nusrat know that he was on his side and willing to help. Even now, one can’t be sure what Sahir’s real intentions are. Is he really so greedy that he will help Nusrat give Bhola the wrong medicine or he just wants to gain Nusrat’s trust and know exactly what he has been doing all these years? The medicines he gave Nusrat were probably the ones which were prescribed in the prescription he had with him earlier therefore he did not add anything new there. Shakooran’s questions tonight and what Fehmida said about a ‘bud dua’ in one of the previous episodes suggested that there is still something we don’t know about Bhola’s background perhaps.
Noori decided to meet Sahir and the preview of the next episode suggested that she went there to share her fears and troubles with Sahir. Why did Noori choose to lean over Sahir and did not turn to Ama Janate for help and advice? Was this her way of retaliating? Noori could call Ama Janate just as easily without getting into trouble but she decided to meet Sahir. I am waiting for Ama Janate to be back in the picture since she is the only one Fehmida will ever listen to.
Overall Impression
This episode of Ranjha Ranjha Kardi was disturbing and relatively slow-paced. I have been missing Komal and Noori’s conversations in particular. The focus right now is on Noori and her decision ultimately will determine what turn Bhola’s life takes. Sahir’s character keeps you wondering still because he is the only one whose intentions are not clear even now. Like every other episode of this drama, this one too had some brilliant performances to its credit. Waiting to find out what happens next.

Ohkay so, the writing of Fareesa Afzal & Wasiq Ali, direction of Furqan Adam & production of Moomal & Momina Duraid Productions; Meer Abru is a recent Hum TV drama that has been airing since last 4 weeks. I tuned to it because it showed up in my YouTube recommendation plus I wanted to watch something new & I actually ended up liking the way this drama was directed & how the story was unfolding. Meer Abru is in the initial stages but still, the first 4 episodes gave me enough reasons to continue watching it & also review it. There are a lot of characters in this drama & a lot of tracks which kind of make things quite happening & interesting.
Cast & Characters:
So, there’s the Murad family, which owns Murad Group of Industries & the sons of two brothers Jamal & Ghazanfar are now taking care of the family business. Jamal is married to Seemi (Jia Ali) & has two sons Saim Murad (Mirza Zain Baig) & Waleed Murad (Saad Qureshi). Ghazanfar is married to Saira & they have a son Meer Murad. (Noor Hassan).
Ghazanfar & Saira have always had a troubled marriage because Ghazanfar could not accept Saira as his wife mentally & that has taken a toll on Meer because he grew up seeing his father being distant, aloof & angry & his mother being mistreated. Jamal is family oriented & believes in maintaining the family ties whereas Seemi constantly tries to convince her husband that he should part ways with his brother & get a new house for his family. Jamal pays no heed to his wife because he knows she is overly ambitious & not for any good reason. They all live together & all the cousins; Meer, Saim & Waleed are just like brothers.
On the other side we have a family of Professor Ahmed who has three daughters; Abru (Sanam Chauhdry), Sana (Rabya Kulsoom) & Haya (Srha Asghar). Abru is the eldest therefore she is the most responsible & focused one whereas the younger two are still pursuing their education in the same university where their father is a professor & are care-free & happy-go-lucky.
Story So Far:
Abru & Meer have a very first interaction where they both end up leaving quite an impression on each other. Abru finds Meer rude & conceited whereas Meer develops interest in Abru but doesn’t really show it. Abru goes to Murad Industries to apply for the job only to find out that Meer is going to interview her. She goes back disappointed but Meer hires her as a marketing manager. Abru gets to interact with Saim but assumes that he is just an employee there but she later finds out that Saim is the part-owner of Murad Industries too.
Abru & Meer always have a personality clash because of which Abru keeps on believing that her first impression of him was right but then even though Meer doesn’t really do much to change her opinion about him, he continues to stay reserved & distant. Meer develops feelings for Abru but doesn’t say much as he continues to see the budding friendship between Saim & Abru, which further pushes him away & does not allow him go change Abru’s perspective.
Abru goes to Meer’s place to hand him some files & that’s when Waleed & his friend misbehave with Abru. Meer makes sure Waleed apologizes but then Abru thinks he staged it all to insult her. That’s also where she finds out that Saim is not just an employee but is a cousin of Meer. Abru gets a chance to interact with Saim’s family but that’s when Saim’s mother grows uncomfortable at the thought of seeing Saim being too friendly with a mere employee. Meer & Abru once again have a misunderstanding where Meer misbehaves with her. Abru thinks of resigning but seeing how she has a responsibility of her father & sisters, she drops that idea.
Waleed, being a young spoiled brat has now taken it as a challenge to get back at Abru & that’s when he finds out that both Haya & Sana are Abru’s sisters. Quite carefully Waleed traps them both & makes them believe that he is in love with them while planting a seed of doubt in both Haya & Sana’s heart against each other. Waleed is taken to be as the heart-throb of the university so Haya already likes him but Sana also starts believing him that he must be serious about whatever he is saying.
Meer Abru drama has a lot of characters & each one of them have gotten a proper introduction & coverage which also keeps the episodes engaging by offering quite a lot. Meer has really developed some insecurities & because of his father’s disrespectful attitude towards his mother, Meer also finds it hard to respect any female & continues to insult every other girl that he interacts with but later regrets what he has done. It is like he is having a constant battle within himself because he wants to rise above all of this but can not due to his personal life issues.
Meer’s mother Saira has accepted all of this as her fate but then despite what Ghazanfar puts her through, she has found peace in the love & attention she gets from the rest of the family, especially all the boys. Saira is like a mother figure to all the boys & that is why they respect her a lot. Seemi on the other hand is quite social, so much so that she often compromises on important family event & prefers her social activities. Seemi is just as absent as Saira is present for her family, that is why even Seemi’s sons seem more emotionally attached to Saira as compared to their own mother.
Saim & Meer share that kind of bond where they both can sacrifice anything for one another, this was something that was established in the initial episodes & that might be the reason why Meer has not told Saim that he has some feelings for Abru. Saim was trying to make up his mind but he & Abru have grown so comfortable with each other that he couldn’t help falling in love with her. For Saim it was a very smooth journey because he being a thorough gentleman treated Abru with respect & also because he was her friend, he was always there to help her. Considering how stern Meer was with Abru, she kind of relied a lot more on Saim because of that reason too as she felt easy & relaxed around him. This love triangle is definitely interesting & I want to see what the life has in store for them. Plus the equation that Waleed, Haya & Sana are sharing is going to get intense too & I am keen to see how Abru will deal with all of this once she will find out & will be forced to protect & save her sisters from the heartbreak.
Closing Thoughts – Highly Recommended:
Meer Abru has offered quite a lot so far & overall it definitely is such a drama that is worth a watch. The characters have been written with a lot of detailing, I guess it shows the teamwork of the writers her. Despite the drama having a lot of characters, each & everyone gets a proper screen time & none of them seems to be a filler. Everyone has one thing or the other happening in their lives & it is all quite interesting to see. I like quite a lot characters which is one of the biggest reasons for me to continue watching this drama. I like how the vibe & feel immediately changes when both the households are shown – the vibe in Meer’s house is very formal, though loving & friendly but still very composed & on the other hand, Abru’s household is full of zest & energy because it’s filled with girls who are young & carefree. I like how Abru has a strong hold on her younger sisters & how they also obey her. Abru has earned this respect & she really is their support system. Abru’s character in general is beautifully written where she has her inhibitions & reservations but she tries to overcome them as she knows that she has two sisters who look upto her & that she has some responsibilities too. Overall styling & outlook of all the characters is really nice & I love Abru’s professional wardrobe, they have kept it very simple, effortless yet stylish enough. All the actors are looking amazing & the sisters of Abru are perfectly styled as university students. My main reason to tune to Meer Abru was Sanam Chaudhry because I enjoy her acting & she surely has not disappointed. It is good to see Noor Hassan in a drama too after quite a while. Zain Baig, Saad Qureshi, Rabya Kulsoom & Srha Asghar, all of them have done a commendable job & I believe the credit also goes to the director for keeping things so effortless & amazing – especially the acting of all the actors. Definitely looking forward to what more Meer Abru has in store for us. Please share your thoughts if you have watched this drama & if you’re someone who’s on the fence about it, I highly recommend Meer Abru.
Wrong No. 2 is an upcoming movie and we have already seen the success of Wrong No. Wrong No. starred Danish Taimoor and Sohai Ali Abro in lead roles and proved to be a dark horse on the box office, it performed wonderfully, however, no one was expecting that.
Wrong No. 2 will be releasing this Eid ul Fitr and it is going to face gigantic films like The Legend of Maula Jatt and Chhalawa at the box office. This is going to be a tough war for the film. The teaser is out and looks like Wrong No. 2 is going to be a roller coaster of chaos and comedy. Check out the first teaser of the film:
Let’s see what the trailer has in store for us when the teaser already has so much fun in it!
Mahira Khan, the superstar is coming this year with a bang. She will be seen soon in The Legend of Maula Jatt which is the most anticipated film of the year.

Everyone in the world has become familiar with the scuttle between India and Pakistan. The tension caused the banning of Pakistani artists initially and then later Pakistan also blocked content from India to air in Pakistan as a protest. During the whole scenario, many huge Bollywood stars kept mum and did not give out statements.
Amitabh Bachan was also one star who did not give any controversial statement in the situation. He was however offered a role of a Pakistani recently and he turned it down and it is not difficult to conclude that it was due to the environment in India with fast-approaching elections and a whole lot of hate. Mehwish Hayat took to Twitter and she had to say something about this. She said that this is disappointing and we should also give some thought to our love of Bollywood after this:
Mehreen Syed is a supermodel as well as the queen of the ramp. She is hands down one of the biggest names of the fashion industry. Mehreen is the mother of one baby girl already and kept on working in her pregnancy too. Mehreen Syed has been blessed with a baby boy and she announced the good news on her Instagram.
Mehreen posted a picture of her hand where she is holding the hand of her baby boy. The couple has named their child Ibrahim. Here is the announcement post by Mehreen Syed:
Congratulations to Mehreen Syed and her husband Ahmed on this new addition in the family!
Many factors contribute to making an on-screen couple a complete success. The number one factor has to be the actors and the chemistry they share. No matter how well-written a track is, it falls flat if the actors involved do not look like they are connected to each other at some level. On-screen chemistry is undeniably the most important factor. Some actors naturally share great on-screen chemistry and when such actors share screen space, there are bound to be fireworks. Having said that, one cannot deny the importance of a well-written script. Black and white characters and run-of-the-mill love stories do not have the same impact on the viewers now because the drama watching audience has so much to choose from. Therefore, love stories which are convincing as well as enticing and characters which are intriguing play a major role in making these on-screen couples a hit. In this video we will talk about all those amazing on-screen couples of Pakistani dramas which have won the viewers over since the 90s. Do share your opinion about these couples and add more names to the list.
Tonight’s episode of Aangan covered Azhar’s release, Jamil and Alia’s track and the change in Chammi’s character. All the characters in this drama can be termed as lost souls. There is barely any happiness in anyone’s life and even when there are some happy moments, they are usually spoiled by the attitude of one or few of the characters. Azhar’s release tonight was one such moment.
Latest Developments
Even before Azhar’s arrival, Jamil’s complete lack of interest showed that his father’s presence made absolutely no difference in his life. The second Azhar entered, his wife started sharing the problems she had been facing, Chammi made matters worse and Azhar and Alia were the only two people who actually shared a special moment in this scene. The relationship between all these characters is more bitter than it is pleasant. Azhar was never there for his family which is why his children resent him and his wife rightly blames him for not settling his priorities straight.
With the exception of Alia, all the other characters do not have a definite connection with each other. Jamil’s character has definitely grown in these two weeks but his ‘lust’ for Alia remains the same. The hugging scene made me wonder why HUM’s censorship policy is so lenient when it comes to this drama! This scene could easily have been avoided. Chammi is another character which is following Alia’s footsteps. While she waited for Manzoor and thinks he loves her, she also laughed mockingly when Alia told her that she loved her. So Chammi too has lost her faith in love after Jamil ‘bhaiya’ betrayed her. Chammi has never been loved by anyone at all therefore she has stopped trying to make people fall in love with her whether it is Alia, Najma, Jamil or Baray Chacha – she just couldn’t care less. That is why she is constantly seen doing things to provoke others. It is however really strange that Jamil and Chammi didn’t have a single scene together in this episode either.
Alia once again was reminded of how she should not be falling in love every time she had those feelings for Jamil. Jamil’s scene with his mother after Shakeel ran away also suggested that he had changed. Israr’s scenes are beyond repetitive since he is constantly shown asking for food while Bua tells him off. There is nothing new about these interactions which shows the lack of creativity. There are times when you feel like there are too many characters in this drama and not all of them add something tangible to the story. Tonight Israr got a little more screen time and this time his situation was compared to that of Azhar and Mazhar – all of them are lost souls but Israr definitely has a life way worse than both of them. Azhar’s failure as a family head reflects in every single aspect of his family life. Azhar’s wife finally spoke up today and his reaction was a lot like that of his father’s!! When confronted Muzzafar too never had much to say to his wife. You understand how Jamil’s mother has suffered for all these years but you can’t help but blame her for being such a door mat.
For the past few weeks every time Chammi tells Alia off, she is shocked that Chammi doesn’t have more faith in her. Alia always reacts as if Chammi has expressed her true feelings for the first time, even though that is most certainly not the case. Alia and Chammi’s scene together in which Chammi asks Alia for the duppata was cute – it would have been so much better if these two really were friends.
Overall Impression
Ahad Raza Mir, Mawra Hocane and Sajal Aly could actually make an interesting trio because their on screen chemistry is superb. Their situations in this drama however are such that there can be no winners in this love triangle. This drama is overcrowded with characters and some of these characters don’t add much to the story. Bua is definitely getting way more screen time than she should have been given. The repetition and the over emphasis on makeovers continues with every passing week but for the first time I am actually waiting to see what turn this love triangle takes.
Did anyone else notice the “special attention” the qorma got tonight ;)

Ohkay so, this episode covered the change of dynamics between Gaiti & Badar where Gaiti couldn’t help but soften her heart for her husband as well as his family. I guess this decision of airing double episodes of Do Bol twice a week is a good one because it is showing the progress as well as has upped the pace of the drama too.
Gaiti Has Started Accepting Badar:
Badar was pushing himself to the limit, he was stretching himself thin to make sure Gaiti gets the fraction of a relief that she was used to before her marriage to him. Badar knew that Gaiti’s world turned upside down that is why he feels it is his responsibility to bring some comfort her way. Arranging an air-condition for Gaiti without even worrying about what his mother would say showed that for Badar, Gaiti was his priority & while he was fulfilling all of his duties as a son, he wanted to be a dutiful husband too.
Gaiti couldn’t help but feel the love Badar had for her because she could see how he was taking pressures from everywhere but still not allowing it to stop him from doing whatever he wanted to, for Gaiti. Jamshed turned out exactly how I imagined & what he did was totally that I could see coming. Jamshed’s growing interest in Gaiti is unconvincing, considering that he just had a brief interaction with her & then immediately started forcing himself in her life. Jamshed knows that Rania is blind to his faults & can be manipulated easily, that is why he exploits her & does what he want because Rania will never question him. It was interesting to see that for a split second despite despising Gaiti, Rania did think about whatever she said about Jamshed. I hope before getting married to him, Rania realizes that he is a selfish & conceited person who will never be able to make her happy.
Neelam requested Iqbal to allow Gaiti to attend her wedding. Nafeesa & Nasreen were happy that Iqbal did allow but Firdous, Fareeha & Zafar were not. Firdous knows her son too well, that is why she always protects him & prevents him from getting into trouble especially in the matters where Iqbal is involved. Firdous doesn’t want Badar to get back in touch with Iqbal because despite not accepting it, it is a fact that Gaiti is entitled to Iqbal’s property & business & Badar is married to her. Iqbal has put up a facade where he does not pay heed to anything related to Gaiti but deep inside, his heart has actually melted & he is keen to know if Gaiti is doing well or not. Smiling at the news of Gaiti’s success in her exams showed that Iqbal has now started missing Gaiti but he is too egoistic to accept & admit that.
Gaiti started showing signs of care & affection for Badar which was the best part of this episode of Do Bol. Gaiti has tried really hard not to allow anything that Badar does sway her heart, but she couldn’t help it. Gaiti started off with smallest gestures but seeing how it uplifted Badar’s mood made her realize that this was all that he expected from her in return to the amount of love he showers on her. Jamshed has made it his mission to bring misery on Badar & Gaiti which again seems to be a forced situation & there’s nothing actually new or exciting about it.
Closing Thoughts – A Sweet Journey:
Overall, these two episodes of Do Bol took the story forward a great deal. It is a feel good & sweet drama which may not have something totally new or super dramatic to offer but whatever has unraveled so far is pleasant & make it a good watch. However, I don’t really understand the need for the editor to show misleading promos. Last week they showed Jahan Ara showing up at Gaiti’s doorstep plus a scene from Neelam’s wedding too but all of that didn’t happen in this week’s 4 episodes combined. Anyways, the preview of the next episode did suggest that Gaiti might leave to be with her mother, let’s see how Badar will bring her back. Hira Mani & Affan Waheed are doing wonders & their chemistry is subtle but very nice. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Do Bol.
Mahira Khan is a huge star and she is at the same time very humble and fun loving. The actress will be seen in two big films this year. First in the most anticipated The Legend of Maula Jatt as Mukho and then in a special role in Parey Hut Love. She is currently busy in shooting for her upcoming flick, Superstar where she is starring alongside Bilal Ashraf.
The actress is in Peshawar these days for shoots with fellow actors Ali Kazmi and Alizeh Shah. She is definitely having a lot of fun and she recently posted these pictures where she captioned herself as Spiderman ki nani but we surely think of her as a superhero. Check out the fun pictures:
Suno Chanda was a big hit and people were dying to catch their favourite characters again and were pleasantly surprised when season 2 was announced. Iqra Aziz as Jiya and Farhan Saeed as Arsal were loved by everyone and they will be coming back on the screens again this Ramadan.
The script of Suno Chanda 2 is also written by Saima Akram Chaudhary and it will be directed by Ahsan Talish. The whole cast and some additional cast members have already been seen o the sets and now Arsal and Jiya have also joined their Suno Chanda squad and they are already looking goals. Check out some BTS pictures of both:
Pakistani cinemas were suffering a lot since the tension started between Pakistan and India resulting in a ban on Indian content in the country. The ticket counters were dark but the time has finally changed with big movie like Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame coming to the country.
Another movie that is seeing a good run at the Box Office is our own Pakistani product, Sherdil. Sherdil is a highly patriotic film and it coincidently ca,e out on a time when the whole nation was high on patriotism and our Airforce had a great win. The film has thus managed to win hearts and has been doing exceptional business.
The film has raked in about 10 crores and it has turned itself into a surprise hit. Sherdil will soon be releasing internationally too. Let’s see how it performs in the international markets!
Ohkay so, this episode of Do Bol was yet again interesting & unfolded the events in a very simple manner. The best thing about dramas like Do Bol is that they show lives of the characters in such a realistic & raw manner that you can’t help relating to them. Whatever has happened so far in Do Bol is very realistic that is why it is making it quite easy to feel for both Gaiti & Badar.
Badar Will Always Walk An Extra Mile For Gaiti:
Gaiti came back & she was obviously upset because she could not meet Jahan Ara. Badar made sure to put her heart to ease by promising her that no matter what happens, he will make sure she gets in contact with her mother. Badar has made up his mind that he is always going to treat Gaiti with love & respect. His feelings for Gaiti are one thing but he actually understands Gaiti’s perspective, he feels for her because he knows that she has been tied into this relationship forcefully that is why he goes out of the way to let her know that she is valued & loved. Badar has also seen how Gaiti used to long for her father’s validation, how she was keen to be loved by him, that is why he also put it across very earnestly that he will make sure she gets everything she ever hoped for.
I liked how in this episode, Gaiti started to show the signs of coming out of her shell. Rafiya played a huge part in bringing Gaiti to this level of normalcy where she started communicating with everyone a bit & even decided to help around Rafiya as she saw how hard that girl works & how much heavy-lifting she does. The girl playing the role of Rafiya is such a good actor & she is super pretty too. I like how effortless her acting is & her character is brilliant too. Rania on the other hand is a typical nand desperate for marriage, so there’s nothing new about her.
Jamshed made an entry in this episode & everything about his character spelled trouble for Gaiti. Jamshed obviously has evil intentions & I think he will try to turn things against Gaiti when she will stop him & his unnecessary advances. Jamshed knows that Rania is dying to get married to him so he might also use her & her hatred against Gaiti. This entire equation is going to get quite ugly, but then Badar will make sure he stands by his wife to support her.
Badar continued with his struggle of finding a job & then he finally found one. Qudsia’s concerns are real too, she knows that Badar singlehandedly has to manage all the expenses that is why that is the only thing that runs through her mind. It is kind of good to see that despite not accepting Gaiti & bring aware of her shortcomings, she still tells Gaiti to get involved like a family member. It is like Qudsia wants Gaiti to make them feel that she is a part of this family but right now Gaiti is not in a mood.
Iqbal had a heart attack & Nafeesa tried to contact Gaiti. Zafar & Firdous are making sure Iqbal stays disconnected with his daughter because legally & lawfully Gaiti is the one who will inherit everything Iqbal has earned so far in his life but both Firdous & Zafar have their sights on Iqbal’s wealth. With Zafar taking care of Iqbal’s business, it is a done deal that this business is going to be doomed, but Firdous will make sure that no one utters a word against her son. Fareeha has accomplished her mission in maligning Sameer’s heart against Gaiti & now he is going out of the picture & probably out of drama too. Iqbal has started to feel for Gaiti, obviously he knows that what he did was wrong, that is why he has taken it to his heart, let’s see if he will ever admit that he was wrong in his approach towards his only daughter as well as his wife Nafeesa.
Closing Thoughts – Brilliantly Executed Drama:
Overall, this episode of Do Bol was really nice & I had a great time watching it. The makeup & styling of all the actors is really nice, but I must say the actor playing the role of Fareeha has really put in a lot of effort into looking like a newly wedded woman but there’s something awfully off about her entire styling, like I am unable to put a finger on it but she really has taken it a bit too far where she seems like an eyesore. Every time she’s on screen I can’t stop noticing how much is happening around her, on her & the sad part is none of it works. Anyways, the direction of this drama has been amazing & I am kind of glad that we’ll be getting to watch 4 episodes per week, considering how slow the pace of this drama is kind of, it will definitely be a treat to see events unfolding quickly. Hira Mani & Affan Waheed are doing wonders & are making this journey a lot more meaningful. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Do Bol.

Kinza Hashmi is just not a pretty face. She is extremely talented too and has worked in many dramas in a very short span of time. Kinza has very beautiful features which paired with her beautiful smile makes everything light up. She just did a photo shoot for a bridal campaign and she is just looking stunning. Kinza is wearing a gold lehenga with her hair styled in beautiful waves while her makeup is done in a full glam mode.
Her look paired with the rose petals is definitely making her look out of this world pretty. Check out some pictures from the shoot where he is looking breathtakingly pretty:
Alia Bhatt is a famous Bollywood actress and she has recently revealed that she has taken inspiration from Sanam Saeed’s character for her upcoming film Kalank which has a huge ensemble cast. Kashaf Murtaza is an iconic character played by Sanam Saeed in the superhit drama Zindagi Gulzar Hai. The drama was a massive hit in India too. So, when Alia was playing the role of a girl who speaks Urdu in her upcoming movie, her director asked her to watch Zindagi Gulzar Hai to speak properly for her role.
Alia said in an interview:
“Abhishek asked me to watch Zindagi Gulzar Hai. The character of the girl (Kashaf played by Sanam Saeed) in the show is very much how [my character] Roop will deal with the situation. She has responsibility on her shoulders so she is not always a happy person. She is vulnerable yet strong. It is difficult (to bring so many) layers – unhappy, vulnerable and strong to a character. Abhishek kept saying that I should be irritating.”
Sanam Saeed also reacted to the news on her Twitter:
@aliaa08 if this isn’t made up news, I’m tickled pink 😊. Best wishes. Xx

Mohsin Abbas Haider is a versatile artist. We have always seen him cheering and entertaining everyone. He is always smiling and laughing in the roles he mostly does as well as the show he is on as a DJ. But behind that smiling face, Mohsin has suffered through great loses and one of them being the death of his new born daughter Mahveen.
Mohsin lost Mahveen in her very early days and expressed his grief when he came on Samina Peerzada’s show. He has since always remembered her and has written poems for her. He just honoured his daughter as he got a tattoo of her name on his chest. This is the picture he posted along with Veenu Ke Baba written in the caption:
Tonight’s episode of Inkaar covered the change in Hajra’s personality and her growing affection for Shayan. Rehan Chaudhry came back in Hajra’s life when she was finally strong enough to move on. Why didn’t Rehan Chaudhry try to get in touch with Hajra earlier? The timeline in this episode was somewhat confusing and I am still waiting to see the friend Hajra was shown talking to on the phone. “No means no” seems to be the basic theme of this play so far. Hajra is an intelligent girl who has set certain boundaries for herself and she is not going to allow anyone to cross those boundaries. Hajra’s relationship with her father yet again was the highlight of this episode.
New Beginnings, Old Demons
Tonight’s episode opened with Hajra’s father having a conversation with his friend. Later on his conversation with Hajra showed the kind of relationship they had; sweet, frank and honest. Hafiz sahab’s character is likable and different. He is a religious person with strong principles but he is also open-minded. He is the reason why Hajra is so confident and sure about what she does and doesn’t want. The previous episode covered how Hajra fell in love with Shayan and in this episode the viewers were shown how this love changed her. Hajra lost her will to go on after what happened but now that she has met someone who loves and respects her despite of whatever happened in her past, she has a newfound confidence. Hajra was obviously afraid that her past will define the rest of her life but Shayan’s faith in her changed that altogether. The scenes covering Shayan and Hajra’s relationship were perfect especially after Rehan Chaudhry entered their lives again. Shayan could not talk about Rehan because Hajra doesn’t know that he knows him personally and Hajra did not talk about him either. The conversation Shayan and Hajra had when they were in the university was also quite meaningful and it gave further insight into Shayan’s character.
Hajra’s new beginning had not even properly taken off yet when she had to face old demons. The professor once again tried to take advantage of his position and Hajra told him off one more time. The scenes covering their interactions were rather long and these scenes could easily have been chopped down. Hajra’s scenes with Rehan Chaudhry showed clearly that Rehan could not take no for an answer. Even when he pleaded with her, it was evident that he was not actually ‘sorry’. His dialogues about Shayan showed that he knew Shayan well. Did he come back in Hajra’s life right now because he could not accept the fact that she had moved on? Where was Rehan Chaudhry all these months and if he wants Hajra in his life so badly why did he wait this long?
Overall Impression
This drama piques your curiosity and keeps your interest alive. Inkaar however has a very ‘old feel’ to it and perhaps giving it a slightly commercial feel would have made it more enticing for some of the viewers. The story however has potential and this episode suggested that Inkaar might have a bigger message too. The performances tonight were on point. Imran Ashraf and Sami Khan have done justice to their respective characters. Yumna Zaidi’s acting particularly has been superb throughout. The preview of the next episode was really enticing. The mystery will finally be solved in the next episode and Hajra’s heart will be broken once again. I am definitely rooting for Hajra and Shayan but will Rehan Chaudhry let them be together? Waiting to find out.
