Ohkay so, the writing of Sadia Akhtar, the direction of Syed Aabis Raza & the production of Momina Duraid Productions; Silah commenced tonight on HUM TV Network. The first episode of the drama seemed a little too straight forward & they didn’t establish much, except the backgrounds of the main characters & the one sided love that is lingering between the couple-to-be. I actually expected a little more from the first episode but I am hoping that the next episode will impress me a bit more.
We got to meet Aleem (Shakil), whose family consists of his wife Razia (Ismat Zaidi) & 3 daughters; Farkhanda, Maryam (Ainy Jaffrey) & Sana. Aleem family has a middle class background, but Aleem makes enough to feed his family & give them a decent life style. Farkhanda being the eldest daughter works & is unmarried. Maryam is doing MBBS on scholarship & Sana has just completed her college. Farkhanda & Maryam are both quite responsible as they understand the responsibilities their father has on his shoulders by being a father of three daughters. Maryam is a bright student & she is focused on shaping up her future as she knows that her family, especially her parents depend a lot on her & for herself & also for her parents, she has to become a doctor. Maryam also gives tuition in the evening to earn some money to support herself & her parents a little as well. Sana, being the youngest hasn’t garnered the sense of responsibility yet, that is why she gets lectured from both of her sisters when she demands a new suit for her farewell.
Then we were introduced to the family of Dr. Ehsan (Javed Sheikh), who’s a heart surgeon & his family includes his wife (Farah Shah) & their only son Taimoor (Farhan Saeed). Taimoor is also doing an MBBS only to fulfill his father’s dream as he does realize that being an only child, his parents have a lot of expectations attached to him. Taimoor is also into music & treats it as a hobby, which his father thinks is only costing him his precious time. However, we get to see that Taimoor’s mother is quite supportive of her son as she knows that he is responsible therefore, he deserves a chance to explore & enjoy something that he loves as he is already fulfilling his father’s wish by becoming a doctor too.
We are then taken to the Medical College, where Taimoor, Maryam & a couple of their friends are shown. It has been made clear that the entire college knows that Taimoor likes Maryam, that is why their mutual friend Mehwish keeps on telling Maryam about Taimoor’s feelings for her. Mehwish assures Maryam time & again that Taimoor is not a flirt, he is not looking for a short-term relationship with her & he intends to marry her but Maryam always cuts short the entire conversation because she knows that her friend will never be able to understand the pressures & burdens Maryam has in her life. Even though Maryam spends her time with Mehwish, but she is well aware of the class difference between them, due to which she also knows that her friend Mehwish won’t understand the fact that Maryam can’t afford to get involved in such activities. Mehwish & her friend label Maryam’s indifference to Taimoor as a tantrum & rudeness without even realizing that there must be a reason behind Maryam’s focus on her studies only. Even though Mehwish feels for Taimoor as she understands his feelings, but her persistence & pressures on Maryam seemed a little off-putting.
We then get to see that Maryam ends up misunderstanding Taimoor’s intention of helping & protecting her because she eavesdrops on her class fellows who assume that Taimoor must have paid some guys to bother Maryam, so that he could swoop in like a hero & score some brownie points in front of her. Based on a misunderstanding & an assumption, Maryam gives Taimoor a piece of her mind & that entire situation goes out of hand when Taimoor confronts those guys!
Overall, the first episode was decent but I definitely expected more from it. I liked Taimoor’s character for the fact that even though he is shown as an only child with a financially sound background, he is not a spoiled brat & in stead, he seems quite responsible & mature for his age. Maryam’s character is nice too but doesn’t seem new. Honestly speaking, Maryam seemed like a mini version of Kashaf from Zindagi Gulzar Hai, minus the negativity & bitterness that Kashaf had in her before she became something. The direction of the first episode was good & the acting of all the actors was effortless too, however, in a few scenes, I did feel that Annie Jaffrey was struggling to the point that she looked expressionless & her acting seemed flat. I hope she gives me a chance to warm up to her character in the future episodes too. Also, I must say by the end of the episode, I completely turned the volume down because the background music was just so unnecessarily loud. I hope they cut down on the background music because no one watches a drama to get noise polluted. I will however say that going by the couple of promos that I have watched, the story of this drama does seem interesting, so I am definitely going to keep an eye on how things will unfold in this drama. Anyhow, please share your thoughts about the very first episode of Silah.
Keep Supporting,
Cheers,

The recent episode of Dumpukht was extremely disturbing and left me emotionally traumatized. The writing has been crisp and the acting has been exceptional. Noman Ejaz gave me the creeps as he approached Kulsoom after the nikah- Iss waqt mein tumhara Murshid nahin, tumhara dost houn…
As expected, Habibullah was easily able to convince Haroon that he’s the chosen one and his goal in life is for the greater good-Yeh jo larki hai Kulsoom Bibi yeh koi aam larki nahin hai…mujhe iskey saath noor ka ek hala nazar aya hai…Kulsoom ko uskey muqaam tak pohchaney ke liye, Bilal, tum Aur yahan tak ke mein, Hum Sab iss Amal mein karinday hein…aaj se mein tumhey Kulsoom Ki mureedi mein de raha houn...
Uss kamzarf ne wohi Sab kiya jiska mujhe ilhaam hua tha… Habibullah fabricated a story to stain Bilal’s reputation in the eyes of everyone and further consolidated his position as a well wisher by justifying his decision by saying it was in Kulsoom’s best interests otherwise her family would have rushed to marry her off with just about anyone who would possibly be a far worse choice for her. Bibi hasn’t been able to read Habibullah- she believes every word he says which makes me think she’s not as smart as I thought earlier or maybe she’s become too emotional now that she’s expecting. Even though Bibi promised to make things right for a Kulsoom, hearing Habibullah’s narrative and character assassination, I doubt Bibi will try anything further to support a reunion of Kulchu and Billu.
Once again, I missed Bilal in this episode. The short flashback of him singing was sweet though. I really don’t know how Bilal will manage to prove his innocence because it will be his word against the Peer’s and we’ve seen how everyone worships the Peer so there would really be no question of refuting anything spoken by him.
Although Wali was instrumental in orchestrating the separation, he’s become very insecure and has resorted to neech harkatein to cause more trouble. He was trying to get Haroon to disobey Habibullah by reminding him of his Shariah haq and when I saw Haroon entering Kulsoom’s room, I was in tears. Thankfully, he is heavily subdued by the hukum given to him and after a brief discussion with Kulsoom, he returned to his wazifas. I chuckled when Kulsoom out of habit kept calling him Haroon Bhai and he had to keep reminding her not so. Sar jhukaney mein hi aafiyat hai…darjaat buland hotey hein…
Kamaskam mein toh Kulchu ke liye rongi na, baqi Sab toh apney liye roh rahe hein...
Nimmo once again was the voice of reason who had the courage to speak out and feel Kulsoom’s pain unlike the others who were too engrossed in log kya kahein gay... I find Kaneez Baji extremely selfish and envious- she was jealous of Kulsoom getting her happy ending and even after the hell that broke lose, she’s concerned about how her sasuraal will treat her. The actress playing Kaneez Baji is a huge letdown amongst an otherwise strong cast. Nimmo has been the most genuine person who’s not affected by what others have to say and she is the only one who supported Kulsoom from the start. Try as I may, I didn’t feel sorry for Kulsoom’s parents especially Tahira because she was the one who was after Kulsoom and cursed and abused her endlessly so her pain is nothing in contrast to what Kulsoom is going through right now.
Habibullah’s words creeped me out- Tanhai se ghabra jao toh mere pass chali ana… I don’t know what’s worse- the fact that he has access to Kulsoom or the fact that Kulsoom may eventually find herself drawn to him. I was an emotional mess seeing Kulsoom which only proves how brilliantly this drama has been made and how flawlessly it has been acted out.
What do you think happens next? This drama has been so unpredictable I’ve been shocked time and again.

Ohkay so, the writing of Hashim Nadeem & the direction of Anjum Shehzad, Khuda Aur Mohabbat aired on Geo TV back in 2011. Now when the Season 02 of Khuda Aur Mohabbat is going to commence this Saturday, I decided to binge watch the 1st season so that I have an idea about what the plot of the drama was. I must say, it was a beautiful journey & I can’t really remember how many times I got emotional watching the sufferings of the main characters. Just when Dhaani drama began, I remember a lot of readers commented that the plot of Dhaani was similar to Khuda Aur Mohabbat, so yes, I will say that I found quite a lot of similarities between both the dramas but when the character of Hammad began his journey of self-discovery, he made me forget about Dhaani completely because honestly, I feel the character of Hammad is far more likable & stronger than the character of Sameer in Dhaani.
So, the story of Khuda Aur Mohabbat revolved around the two families; the family of Commissioner Amjad Raza (Firdous Jamal) & the family of Molvi Aleemuddin (Salman Shahid). Amjad Raza’s family included his wife & three sons, Sajjad, Hammad (Imran Abbas) & Ibaad. Molvi Aleemuddin had two daughters Imaan (Sadia Khan) & Haya & his nephew Abdullah (Ahmed Jehanzeb) also lived with them since childhood because his parents passed away. Amjad Raza belonged to a financially sound background already & his ancestors had a lot of property in the village, but Amjad Raza chose to educate himself & he moved out of the village. He made a name for himself, became a bureaucrat & gave his family a luxurious & comfortable life. On the other hand, like the name suggests, Molvi Aleemuddin was a very simple & humble cleric who barely made a living for his family but all that he wanted & worked for all his life was respect & dignity.
Hammad gets to see Imaan & that is when he falls in love with her, only to discover himself & discover the value & importance of everything in his life. Hammad’s love for a very simple girl allows him to see the real face of his family members & shatters the trust he had in them ever. Hammad’s sister in law Abrina (Farah Shah) wants Hammad to get married to her younger sister but Hammad doesn’t budge because by then, his love for Imaan takes control over his mind & heart & that is when Hammad’s love creates problems for him & Imaan’s family. Hammad’s mother insults Molvi Sahab & that is when Hammad decides that he will eliminate any such person who would oppose his love. That becomes a turning point in his life & his emotional transition begins, where he finds himself, his love, his love for Almighty & his entire perspective on life changes but the base remains the same & that happens to be his love for Imaan.
After leaving his home & family, Hammad starts working as a coolie to be able to make some money for himself but till that point, he lives a very purposeless life until one day he meets a stranger who makes him familiar with the idea of love of Almighty & religion. After putting forth his proposal for Imaan in front of Molvi Sahab, Hammad does realize that he doesn’t fit the bill of Molvi Aleemuddin’s choice for his son-in-law, so he also takes it as a hint to explore what religion has to offer to him but while he is at it, he shows more acceptance towards it & accepts it wholeheartedly, without any hidden agenda of impressing Molvi Aleemuddin or to show him that he has had a change of heart.
When Hammad leaves his home, he comes across so many people like Siddique (Mohsin Gillani), Najma (Fazila Qazi) & Abdul Ghafoor (Shafqat Cheema) who didn’t have the money his father had, but only had love & consideration to offer to him & they immediately become his family who not only feel for him, but stay by his side through thick & thin. Like I said before, Hammad’s character is far more likable & respectable in comparison to Sameer because Hammad had a backbone, he had a personality, he had a mind & more than that, he had a determination & a will to love Imaan to such an extent where he left all his wealth, comforts, family & luxury for her sake. I loved how they introduced Hammad’s character because he was always shown to be a kindhearted human being who always connected with people emotionally irrespective of what their social standing was, that is the reason we saw how Hammad shared a cordial relation with his driver Shakir (Khalid Butt) & his daughter Nighat.
Molvi Aleemuddin feels pressurized & that is when he decides to get Imaan married to her cousin Abdullah, who also loves Imaan but doesn’t say much. After seeing the sufferings of Hammad & the change in his entire personality, Abdullah feels that may be he & his uncle are being unfair to Imaan. Imaan feels burdened as she considers herself responsible for Hammad’s sufferings, that is when she decides to meet him, only to tell that she has nothing to offer to him & requests him to return to his family & his life that he had left for her. Imaan does feel the intensity of Hammad’s love for her but she chooses to ignore it as she can never think of letting her father’s trust on her down, that is why, after meeting Hammad for the last time & rejecting him, her health starts to deteriorate & it costs her, her life, that too at such a moment where Molvi Aleemuddin does get convinced that Hammad is capable of getting married to Imaan & that way, this love story ends tragically.
I must say, the way the writer had written Hammad’s character & the way the director showed his transition was beautiful. This entire journey was so enticing & captivating that it just didn’t allow my mind to divert at all. Even though it is a done deal that Imran Abbas is a phenomenal actor, but his acting as Hammad was so convincing. Imran Abbas made everything, like Hammad’s love for Imaan, his restlessness, his grief, his hope, his efforts, his speechlessness every time his eyes met Imaan’s, just so beautiful that I couldn’t help feel his pain. I must say, I didn’t expect to see such an ending & till the end I was hopeful that may be Hammad & Imaan will get to be together & may be all the prayers & all the efforts of Hammad won’t go to waste & he will get Imaan as a reward for all the struggles that he did till day but Alas! They weren’t meant to be.
I loved how simple the approach of the director was, it just made things a lot more real & convincing. The director for sure extracted the best acting out of all the actors, be it the protagonists or the supporting actors, each & every actor did a convincing job & the writer made all the characters seem quite important, like there was not even a single character that I can pick which wasn’t needed in this story. This story highlighted so many factors about how society puts pressures on people irrespective of which social class they belong to. Even though Molvi Aleemuddin knew that Hammad’s wish was not wrong & he was not at fault for wanting to get married to Imaan but he was too scared about his image getting ruined & also about the class difference between them that he didn’t accept Hammad’s proposal, even after seeing how much he changed. This drama highlighted the fact that people measure their strength & respect based on how much wealth they have garnered all their lives, that is why Hammad’s family doesn’t accept his love for Molvi’s daughter & Molvi Aleemuddin doesn’t accept Hammad knowing that he belongs to a very different world. I loved how Imaan took care of her father’s wishes & didn’t even think about going against his decision, she actually understood all the struggles her father had been through in his life to earn respect & make a name for himself, that is why she chose to stick with her father’s decision despite knowing that the idea of Hammad loving her to such an extent will haunt her all her life.
I am glad that I decided to watch Khuda Aur Mohabbat & after watching it, I know that I missed a very nice drama, which was filled with some beautiful characters, a lot of emotions, some amazing dialogues, some very meaningful conversations, beautiful performances & a heart-warming & unique love story. I loved the OST of this drama too, however I do have an issue with the lyrics but keeping that aside, I also feel it was used a bit too much that after a few episodes it lost its charm. The direction was amazing & I couldn’t help but rejoice at the fact that it only had 14 episodes. Imran Abbas once again made me a fan of his acting, he surely is one of the best actors of all times & I am actually excited to see him in Khuda Aur Mohabbat Season 02. Please share your thoughts about Khuda Aur Mohabbat Season 01 & do let me know if you’re excited for Season 02?

These two episodes of Dil Banjara gave more of an insight into all the characters which were introduced in the first episode. Phupo and her son’s character were also introduced in these episodes. Nida is apparently one of those girls who only dream big, otherwise she cannot even give a firm reply to someone who belittles her every chance she gets, yes, I am talking about the “aapi”! The primary reason for this is that she was brought up in a household in which someone who is older than you can say or do anything they want. Watching Taya abu showing willingness to help out with Nida’s wedding and accepting her as his own daughter gave a relatively softer feel to his character but that particular image did not last for long. Apart from Nida and her parents everyone else in that family has a very closed view of life. Also, Nida’s fiancé Zaman turned out to be a spoiled brat who it seemed had never lived in his mamo’s house before. Zaman has zero respect for people around him which is something Nida’s father notices too but he is majboor because of all the family pressure.
Shama’s accident and its tragic outcome was the most important development in these two episodes. Sikandar’s character appeared to be completely irresponsible in the first episode but in the second episode watching Sikandar trying to clear the misunderstanding between him and Shama and later on blaming himself for what had happened to Shama went to show that he was a sensitive person who cared about the feelings of people he loved. There were many times in both these episodes were Adnan Malik appeared to be trying too hard.
Nida’s relationship with her mother is one of a kind because of her mother’s unique personality. Nida’s mother just like her father is the only person in the house who respects and loves her dearly. Both these people might not meet the standards of outward perfection but inwardly they are beautiful and perfect people who love their daughter greatly and will do anything to make her happy.
Shama lost her mobility but did not question why she could no longer feel her legs! I would think that someone who lost all movement in their legs would notice that as soon as they regained consciousness. Watching Sikandar trying to show her the bright side of the picture showed another side of his personality. Even though he was shown as someone who believed in living his life on his terms and conditions, he is the sort of person who would pause his life for someone who matters to him.
Adnan Malik’s shaky performance was the worst part of these two episodes. He did not make it easy for me to relate to his character, on the contrary every time he was shown getting upset because of what happened to Shama, he looked quite awkward. Sanam Saeed was very convincing as Nida in both these episodes. The director could however have used a little more lighting especially in the scenes which showed day time. Most of the scenes were recorded indoors therefore use of proper lighting could have helped the viewers distinguish between day and night. The overall atmosphere of Nida’s house is depressing enough as it is, the closed windows and the dull lighting did not help.
It remains to be seen how Nida will manage to leave the country when her father is having a tough time convincing his brother to let her go to the college even! This latest episode ended with Shama thinking about how it would feel to live her life moving around in that wheelchair. So far Mira Sethi has been pretty likeable as Shama.
The preview of the next episode showed Nida’s father trying to convince his brother to let Nida go abroad for her debating competition.
How many of you watched this latest episode? Do share your thoughts about it.
It leaves me in a state of shock to know that the film- makers are still not over the idea of making films on Osama Bin Laden. Larry Charles who is also director of the film Borat upcoming film is Army of One starring Nichloas Cage.
Apart from the main character of the film the thing that disturbed me even more was the trailer itself. Here watch it for yourself.
The trailer says it all that for Hollywood Pakistan is a country which mainly has mountains and terrorist, nothing else. Moro ever the kind of Pakistan they have shown it is mostly under construction. The film is based on a true story, Army of One features Nicolas Cage in the lead role of Gary who has “no purpose” in life, as stated in the official trailer.
The previous Hollywood ventures which are shot in Pakistan include Vertical Limit, Nanga Parbat, A Mighty Heart, Infinite Justice, K2, Rambo 3, Son of a Lion have one thing in common mountain and terrorists.
I think now its the the time to tell Hollywood directors and writers that Pakistan is not what they are portraying.
The movie is expected to release on 4th November. It is going to be very hilarious but also very offensive at-least for us.
Do share with me will you be watching this film ?

Get ready for rocking tonight with Hum Style Awards 2016 in collaboration with Qmobile. The latest rehearsals pictures for the event reveal that the stars are practicing really hard for making the event a success. The prominent celebrities busy in practicing for the show include Soniya Khan, Sohai Ali Aabro, Hassan Shehryaar, Saba Qamar, Misha Shafi, Umair Jaswal,Zhalay Sarhadi,Anoushay, Ali Zafar , Ayesha Omar, Adnan Malik and Zaid Ahmad.
The QMobile HUM Style Awards 2016 are scheduled to take place on 28th October in Karachi and will be having notable celebrities and artists from Pakistan’s fashion, music, sports, drama and film industry receiving awards for presenting style at its best.
The rehearsals for the event are at its peak , have a look at the pictures.
It is very disappointing to see the way Indian actors are responding towards the ban on Pakistani stars in Bollywood. Artists are expected to behave in an educated manner and work as messengers of peace rather than aggravating the matter. Lately an Indian actor Aijaz Khan insulted Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan.
Aijaz Khan started his career in modelling. He starred in movies such as Rakta Charitra and Allah Ke Banday and acted in several television daily soaps. He was a wild card entry in the reality television show Bigg Boss 7, where he finished in third position.
In the interview he said , he never knew these artists before who they are! Karan Johar is paying them huge amounts and they are taking that money to Pakistan. As these celebrities, Mahira and Fawad pay tax to the government and in that manner they are helping Pakistan in buying artillery for attacking India,This entire interview of Aijaz Khan seemed to me an over reaction and quite a self- created story.
Watch the video Aijaz bashing our stars.

So cliché, but Intezaar is finally over (pun intended). I yawned my way through the second last episode until the last few minutes and then knowing that this was the last episode, I managed to sit through it and the ending left me shaking my head in amazement.
For those of you who have left the drama midway and have (or have not) been following it through my reviews – a short summary of what happened in these two episodes. Saba’s jealousy grew, ebbed on by her mother and her pieces of advice. Zoya and Shariq suffer in silence (yawn) and draw comfort from each other. During one of her rants, Saba goes out of control and in an attempt to calm her down Shariq tries to stop her and she collapses or he pushed her I could not quite figure out but end result Saba ends up in the hospital with a brain haemorrhage. Shariq’s guilt and sense of responsibility suddenly rears its head and he feels he should have taken care of Saba and fulfilled his responsibility instead of marrying Zoya and asks her to leave.
Saba recovers and comes home – but Zoya has done what she does best and has left home. Once again. I mean, twice again. I mean – you get my point. Shariq is filled with remorse and tries to find her but is unable to. He focuses his love and attention on Saba and five years down the road we see a very happy, normal Saba living with Shariq and their daughter and parents. Zoya, we see is living elsewhere, also happy with her son and her grandmother. And then comes the ending twist that I had not really expected – ever so often Shariq has a ‘work tour’ which has him traveling out of the city and that tour is apparently Zoya’s house. His mamoo is in on his secret and Shariq manages to keep Saba and all happy with Zoya apparently okay with this whole situation. That’s it.
I have to say I was curious how this drama was going to end. I had long given up on any intelligent direction on how the child abuse issue was to be dealt. All I could draw from this was that Saba’s anxiety peaked till she collapsed and all that brought her back was the love and attention of her husband. A man she only claimed to be her husband and sit up and take notice of when she saw him paying attention to another woman. So basically, push the traumatised woman until she is consumed with jealousy for after all she is a woman and she can not bear to share her husband and that will make her realize that she has left all her fears and inhibitions behind and then nurse her back to normalcy by paying attention to her. For when Shariq tried to pay attention to her earlier and take care of her, she wanted nothing to do with him. I will not even comment on how I feel about that message – there is no point.
Whether it is right or wrong for Shariq to keep Saba in the dark about Zoya’s existence and pull the wool over her eyes and manage two wives or not is not what I pondered over. What amazed me was how Shariq manages to keep both wives – happy and manage both homes and his work. I have to admit there was no other way to end this drama without it turning into a crazier or tragic mess than it was already. I can not say I will miss watching this for although it started on an interesting and decent note it just started heading off in a direction where I followed begrudgingly at a snail’s pace and could not keep up with the writer’s train of thought. I have no idea what she was thinking when she set out to write and what she figured she had produced when she ended it. Was it just me or were these two episodes also quite dark, as in visually? I am a fan of Mikael Zulfiqar and that is one reason I watched this drama but I can not say he or Sana Javed or even Anum Fayyaz blew me away with their acting. Anam Fayyaz had a few moments where I thought she acted well but her character was quite a confusing one and the treatment given to her character was even more confusing.
If there is anything that this drama may end up leaving with its viewers is a sudden increase in hen pecked husbands whose wives will be suddenly very suspicious of any out of city business trips. LOL! Thank you to all the readers who read my reviews regularly and commented. I did think there was one point when I was the only one who followed this drama and was glad to know there are others who have tuned into this drama. What did you all think of this ending? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Ohkay so, team Sang e Marmar did it again, they gave us another beautiful episode which was directed perfectly. It is amazing how the writer has written all the intricacies so intelligently. I love how each & every page of this story unfolds particularly but brings so many underlying complications with it. Both, the writer & the director deserve full marks for working in harmony with each other because where the writer came up with such a brilliant plot, the director has shown us how much understanding & intelligence he had with which he executed a screenplay like this. Even though I have said it before too, I will say that again, that Sang e Marmar is a result of a hard work of a very intelligent team so once again, thank you so much Team Sang e Marmar for giving us such a beautiful drama.
I must say, Torah Khan is unmatchable. The way Torah uses his brains & plays one card after another makes him unbeatable, especially amongst people who really don’t believe in thinking things through, that is the reason why Torah ends up winning every single time as no one can reach the level of intelligence that he has. I am not sure if it was because of the urge to avenge his mother’s death or he was born that way, but Torah for sure is a very intelligent man because of which he molds every single situation in his favor without even allowing his victim to know what his actual feelings are. Torah knew that he will never be able to refuse Gulistan Khan if he will approach Torah for Palwasha’s proposal, that is why, he used his wife Sherbano as he knew that reverse psychology works best on her. Torah faked his happiness at the thought of Safiullah & Palwasha’s marriage so much that it automatically convinced Sherbano to oppose it with all her heart. It is actually quite amusing how everyone looks down on Torah but he is the one who has read each & every single person in & out & that is why he uses them as a pawn while they are oblivious to be acting like his puppets. Similarly, he convinced Safiullah to do everything to avenge Gohar’s death as he knows that in this scenario, the chances of Safiullah being killed were high!!!
Saif ur Rehman’s wife gave her husband a good news that Guslitan Khan forgave him & in return he agreed to take Shireen as a compensation price for Gohar’s murder. It is actually unfortunate that a lot of curious readers spoiled the suspense for me, so I already know that Shireen & Aurang aren’t meant to be, but while watching this episode, I couldn’t help appreciate the director’s approach where he carefully didn’t give away anything & made it seem like Shireen will get married to Aurang. Everyone was actually mistaken about the fact that Gulistan chose to forgive Saif ur Rehman & he accepted his sister’s proposal for Aurang, but Gulistan has another plan in his mind. Ever since Saif ur Rehman’s wife left, Gulistan didn’t speak about Palwasha & he didn’t even dignify Sherbano’s concerns with a response as in his heart, he knew that he found his prey & he will kill two birds with one stone. Gulistan will definitely get Shireen married to Safiullah & that way, where he will get a grandchild, he will make sure that Safiullah treats his second wife; Saif ur Rehman’s sister like a doormat. Gulistan Khan also knows that Aurang will never mistreat a woman let alone his wife, that is why, he will never let Aurang get married to Shireen. Even though Gulistan Khan has not told anyone about it, this is exactly the reason why he seemed so calm & chose to forgive Saif ur Rehman so easily, because like everyone suggests, he being a ‘soodkhor’ will make the most of Gohar’s death eventually!
This episode revolved around the entire misunderstanding everyone had about Shireen & Aurang’s marriage. Even Aurang’s mother thought that Gulistan Khan chose Palwasha for Safiullah & Shireen for Aurang. Similarly, ever since Shireen eavesdropped on Saif’s wife, she assumed that she will be getting married to Aurang too. My heart actually sank every time I saw her imagining her peaceful life with Aurang because she is oblivious of what life has in store for her. Shireen’s character is so admirable & so so so positive, that I would hate to see her suffering that too because of a woman like Saif’s wife & a man like Gulistan Khan. Even though Aurang has not forgotten about his brother’s death & even though he seemed a little uncomfortable with the idea of getting married at this stage in such circumstances, the thought of Shireen did come to his mind & he knows that in this entire situation, she is innocent. I am already feeling so bad for Shireen because she has so much of hope & she is so happy with the idea of her marriage with Aurang that when her dreams will shatter, it will be so hard for her pick up the pieces.
Safiullah loves Gullalai & it was good to see that but sadly, Gulistan Khan has never allowed him to live a peaceful life & he has snatched the right of living a life his way from his son, that is why despite not wanting to get married, Safiullah can’t say no to his father. It is actually heart-wrenching to see a harmless soul like Gullalai being mistreated but sadly, everyone is so self absorbed that they can’t see her pain, except Aurang & his mother. The conversation between Gullalai & Safiullah was so special while still being depressing & sadly it ended on a bitter note, but what good it did was that it gave Gullalai a chance to speak & she for sure gave Sherbano a much needed shut-up call. Sherbano may loath Torah as much as she wants, but the fact still remains that she is his wife & even if she doesn’t accept him as her husband, everyone uses that to pinch her where she can’t say anything as she can’t undo the reality & she can never escape it as well!
Overall, this episode was beautiful & I will commend the director for such a flawless direction of this amazing script. After watching this episode & even the precap of next episode, if the reader’s hadn’t spoiled it for me, I could’ve never guessed that Shireen & Aurang weren’t meant to be. The director till now didn’t give away the turning point of the story & very carefully made it look like that is exactly what was going to happen but sadly, the editors of the OST & some curious readers gave away everything & spoiled the biggest suspense for me & this is exactly the reason why I say that I hate spoiler alerts & I choose to stay away from the OST’s of those dramas that I am going to review as well. Anyways, the acting of all the actors was on-fleek & this episode once again a lot of meaningful dialogues to its credit too. Kubra Khan has made Shireen’s character so admirable. The entire cast, protagonists or the supporting actors, each & every single one of them has contributed in making this drama a success because if it wasn’t for their phenomenal performance, this drama would have never made such an impact. It is amazing to see a joint effort of an entire team being this good, where the writer conceived of an idea, the director understood it & explained it to the actors & the actors in the end translated it on screen phenomenally. I once again thank each & everyone of you guys who have been associated with this project & were a part of this team, for giving us such an amazing drama. Please share your thoughts about this amazing episode of Sang e Marmar.

As the tension between India and Pakistan persists so does the comments of individuals for the stars who have been working across the border. Lately while following the tweet of Civil right activist Jibran Nasir on twiiter and Indian attacked ahira for staying quite regarding the Uri attack.
The matter started when Jibran Nasir tweeted condemning the Quetta attack that lead to the death of 61 securiy officers dead.
Following the above mentioned tweet an Indian tweeted,
Following this tweet, a random Indian dragged Mahira into the discussion, questioning her that why she never said anything regarding Uri attacks.
“The sad thing Mahiraji is you are active and vocal now, why not in case of URI,I as an Indian feel bad for Quetta why cant u?” the tweet said.
Then came Mahira’s reply which was spot on
.
Further Mahira Khan said to the guy that he should speak about some substantial isue rather than making such comments.
It is not the first time that Mahira has been targeted with negative comments, before this on one of her picture’s with her son an Indian made a very indecent comment.Even then she gave a perfect answer and was appreciated by her fans.

In this day & age, people tune to the dramas for the sake of entertainment, but things get even more enticing when the drama-makers turn this entertainment into info-tainment. There was a time & perhaps still is where we are got to see dramas that served no purpose at all, that is why the dramas which had an underlying message grabbed the attention of the viewers & looked like a breath of fresh air. By touching this subject, we are taking a little step in appreciating the efforts of those drama-makers who are using this platform for the purpose of educating the audience while still entertaining them. Entertainment becomes better when it has a message attached to it because that way, the drama-makers convince the audience to think about different issues that prevail in the society. It was about time that drama-makers directed their attention towards the subjects other than the marital problems or family politics, that is why the dramas that revolved around the bigger & important issues hit home with the audience instantly.
Have a look at what our stance is & how we appreciate the shift in the approach of the drama-makers:
Our country is full of talented indidviduals and lately many new faces are seen in the the dramas. Sehar Afzal is one pretty and talented young actress who made her debut the drama serial Tum Yaad Aaye which was aired on ARY TV. She has done many projects including Tum milay,Thora Sa aasman,Dosti k side effects.She is also brand ambassador for Origins. In an interview the beautiful actress confessed that she isn’t open for all the offers, but, if the script is creative and productive along with a decent screenplay, she might consider it.
Some beautiful pictures of Sehar Afzal
And I should write….what? I mean, seriously, what? I sat through this entire episode in a daze, but then no, daze would mean I actually felt something, some shock, some surprise – I did not feel much of anything! I think the only time I may have perked up was the story of Chicky and I tried to see if there was a hidden comparison there and maybe that was the most entertaining part. Was Chicky Amber and the big cat Mehwish and the Daddy cat who came to the rescue Faisal? But no, that does not seem right so maybe Chicky is Zara and big, evil cat Mehwish and Daddy cat Faisal? Bit better but no, that seems odd too. Man, this whole drama seems odd!
So, Faisal has brought a sotan on Mehwish who is besides herself with rage and well, hurt. She tells Amber to not have any fanciful ideas and that Faisal has married her only out of hamdardi, a waqti hamdardi jo samander ki jhaag ki tarah baith jaye gi. No sooner have the words left her mouth than Faisal shows up to defend himself. So basically, Mehwish has a go at Amber, Faisal rescues her, Zara grins like a Cheshire cat, Amber moans about how she did not mean for this to happen – this scenario multiplied by 3 – episode over. As far as Faisal’s household goes.
Zara’s new neighbour was given more screen time in this episode. It is quite clear that Faizan and his daughter will make their way into Zara’s heart and I wonder if she will end up marrying Faizan out of love or as a means to escape or a bit of both. I waited for Zara (or anyone) but figured it would be Zara, to drop the little detail to Amber of how she had been engaged to Faisal earlier. Amber’s horror made me think she may think the trio were all crazy but all Amber could think was how wrong Mehwish was to marry her daughter’s fiancé. True, Zara is not to blame for those events but how about reflecting on how Faisal eyed his taayi who was also his fiancee’s mother. But no.
If there is anything to talk about in this episode, it is Faisal’s attitude, his personality, his stance, his mindframe! Yes, Mehwish due to her insecurities created a distance between herself and Faisal but Faisal has latched on to that as his free ticket to justify his marriage to Amber. Aap nay mujhay majboor kiya, mujhay apnay aap se duur kiya – the way he threw those lines multiple times made me cringe for he makes it sound like not only that this is all Mehwish’s fault but that it is absolutely right that if there is a distance or misunderstanding between a couple, rather than give it time, patience, some effort – you marry the first woman who pays attention to you. Also, the way he expects Mehwish to accept Amber in her house is so odd. Firstly this is really not his house. Yes, Zara has allowed them to stay there but for him to be throwing his weight around is so off the mark. What Amber said actually made sense to me about how they find an apartment and move in there rather than living with Mehwish in the same house!
Which brings me to the crazy bit. Yes okay, lots of crazy bits in this drama but well this one is really the prize. Faisal vows to not ever leave Mehwish or Amber. When he says to Amber mein tumhara saath kabhi nahin choroon ga and she smiles happily I let out a snort because really, with Faisal – how is that reassuring?! Sure he will not leave her, or Mehwish, or wife number three, or four, or fiancé number 1. He will leave nobody, he will just gather his flock and throw them in each others’ faces!
I get this is a drama. A drama which sometimes may have a message for its viewers, and sometimes not. At times characters which you can relate to and at times not. Although it does not happen that often in reality, or maybe it does, but there may be households where both wives are expected to live with each other. Even as Faisal puts it wearily to Mehwish about how she should just get over the fact he has remarried and move on. But these characters in this drama! Mehwish, a confident mother who falls prey to her insecurities and lashes out at her daughter, not shown to remember the son who died in front of her eyes. Faisal, woos and marries Mehwish (I will bang my head against a wall if I have to mention again what his double rishta was to her before this one) and then baray mazay se floats off to Amber. Amber, bechari (sarcasm dripping here) torn between love and guilt. I mean, who are these people? I thought Faisal was madly in love with Mehwish. Now he very easily claims that love was incomplete and he knows what was missing was Amber. This guy is either very smooth or very flakey….I would like to go with flakey!
I hope the writer is not trying to show Faisal as a bechara here either because that is not working for me. Rolling his eyes at a demanding, unreasonable Mehwish while Amber is the picture of understanding and big heartedness. Mehwish trying to win back his love while Faisal is sticking this marriage out because he is a decent (?) guy. The fact that these characters have gotten under my skin makes me accept grudgingly that Maria Wasti, Farhan Saeed and Saboor Ali have acted quite well. Saboor Ali especially has really toned down her over acting and her switches between taunting her mother and then showing up with juice and food in the next instant made me laugh.
I think Chicky’s story had nothing to do with the main characters. What do you all think – about the episode, that is? Would love to hear your thoughts

Ohkay so, these two episodes of App Ke Liye were all about planning & plotting that Nishat was transpiring against Areesha & Omar. Even though I know there isn’t much to the story, by the end of every episode, I am still left with the feeling to see something more, like no doubt that the characters have been established properly & their stances are pretty clear by now but I wish there was more to the plot on the whole.
Well Nishat has now started targeting Areesha & Omar because she doesn’t want Areesha to get married to him. Nishat had to accept & agree Areesha’s demand because she wanted to defeat Washma & prove her wrong but now, she is doing everything to call their wedding off, that is why she is fabricating one lie after another. Nishat knows that no matter what she will say to Shaheer he will accept it without a doubt in his mind, that is why very conveniently she lied that Omar’s family was demanding a house as Areesha’s dowry. Shaheer is right in assuming that Omar’s family is being greedy & I do like Shaheer’s simplicity, but I wish he wasn’t so plain headed to not being able to read people properly. I find it a little hard to digest that just because Nishat tells something to Shaheer, he has to believe that she is being honest, so much so that his trust on Nishat has cost him his marriage & he still is unable to figure things out a bit. Yes, he does trust his sister but I wish they had shown him analytical to such an extent where he could have read between the lines himself too.
Washma has started confiding in Maryam & it is good to see that they both have come to terms with each other & are now sharing a very special bond. Washma goes to her sister in law everytime she feels she needs to talk to someone & Maryam not only gives her the right advice, she ends up being all ears to Washma’s problems.
Washma’s intuition tells her that something for sure is wrong in the office & because of that she decides to cancel her business trip to Europe with Shaheer which both of them were looking forward to. Washma could clearly see Shaheer’s disappointment but she does it only to save Shaheer from a bigger loss. Washma has not been able to put a finger on what is it & who is behind everything that is happening in the office but it is good that she is wise enough to take the measures before something on a bigger scale goes wrong. Washma has not only sensed something fishy in the office, but after listening to Shaheer, she realizes that Nsihat is once again trying to drift Omar & Areesha apart, that is why she decides to take this matter in her hands & contacts Omar.
It is actually good to see that Washma has fallen in love with Shaheer, not just because she married him, but because after being by his side, she learned more about him & found out that he is a very sefless person who is being exploited by his family members especially Nishat & Imdaad. I am glad that Washma has started to take control over things because that way she will not only save her marriage but will be able to open Shaheer’s eyes too. Shaheer has also fallen for Washma, but he is too hesitant to admit as Maryam said, he doesn’t believe in sharing his feelings.
Overall, these two episodes were again on the slower side. I hate seeing the coverage Imdaad & Nishat get, their unnecessarily long scenes literally spoil the pace of the drama. Also, I am not sure what was the director thinking while shooting Nishat & Imdaad’s flirtatious lovely dovey scenes, like seriously, please don’t tell me that the director thought the viewers will be thrilled & ecstatic to see a couple in their 60’s being chummy with each other (insert puking sound-effect please). I am actually a little sad because I have a feeling that this drama is far from being over. It looks like they will now introduce some issues in Shaheer & Washma’s relationship too where Shaheer will let his insecurities get the better of him & he will doubt Washma for being unfaithful to him. I think they should increase the air time of this drama from 2 to 7 days a week, it surely will be a better option & the drama won’t end up looking this slow. Till date I was unable to figure out what the director was doing with the camera but now I got it, the camera swings because I feel the director was half asleep while directing this drama, that is why he had no control over his head & the camera due to which it ended up swinging in every single scene, but then it is given as anyone will fall asleep seeing Waseem Abbas & Samina Peerzada’s over-acting & mind boggling 100 expressions/second. Anyways, please share your thoughts about these two episodes of App Ke Liye!

This last episode wasn’t as solid as I expected it to be because as a whole Tum Kon Piya’s story was quite convincing throughout. Zarbab’s change of heart seemed rushed and it wasn’t very believable either. All the information he got, came from a third person and not Arif himself but somehow he was willing to believe it only because he saw Arif’s present condition. Arif’s end was predictable but it would have been so much better if Arif was in a position to say all that Zarbab needed to hear himself. Zarbab spotting Elma and then making it to the hospital just in time to see her alive was also too much of a coincidence which would have been okay had this development led to something grand which wasn’t expected. If Elma was going to die, there was no point of showing Zarbab making it there right on time. Also, the way the news was broken to the child that Zarbab was his father was very disappointing. Overall, this wasn’t really the best finale considering the fact that Tum Kon Piya managed to be entertaining enough for so many weeks. Neha deserved a better ending as well. The moral of the drama in the end was that what goes around comes around; there was a time when Zarbab did not value Elma’s love and now in the end he was left all alone. I would say that in a way this ending was better than Elma forgiving Zarbab and spending the rest of her life with him.
Reviewing Tum Kon Piya was an enjoyable experience. It isn’t very often that one enjoys reviewing a drama which does not have a new storyline but what made Tum Kon Piya different was the fact that it had some interesting characters and the story did not defy sense or logic unlike many other dramas in which the viewers are always trying to make sense of the characters and the happenings. Also, there were quite a few times when the viewers had no idea what was going to happen next. Although Ayeza Khan made a comeback with a character which could easily be termed as a bechari yet the fact remains that she made this bechari as likeable as she could. There were obviously many times when I thought that there will be a time when Elma will learn to take a stand for herself but it was not meant to be. Even with a shaky performance at times Imran Abbas proved that he was the perfect choice for playing the role of Ramish. Ramish’s love for Elma was the highlight of the drama throughout. Ali Abbas, Kiran Tabeer, Hira Tareen and Yasir Shoro also made their characters easy to connect to and more interesting because of their faultless performances. The writer Maha Malik took the story forward sensibly throughout and one thing that stood out more than any other was the use of beautiful Urdu words. The director Yasir Nawaz’s creativity added a new feel to the drama by showing that the entire relationship between Elma and Ramish existed only in their thoughts. This last episode however wasn’t as skillfully directed as one would have expected it to be.
I would like to thank all those amazing readers who read the reviews every week and shared their thoughts here. The whole experience of watching and reviewing this play wouldn’t have been the same without you all. I would also like to thank all those people who warned me against watching this drama because it is because of them that everything good about this drama came as a pleasant surprise; their warnings lowered my expectations considerably.
How many of you watched this last episode? Do share your thoughts about it.

Arshad Khan who was previously known as Chai Wala and has become so famous in such a short span of time, is now being invited in almost every morning show. It is good to see that our industry is welcoming the guy. The interesting part of the show was when Arshad khan on Nida Yasir’s morning show Good Morning Pakistan did a catwalk with female models. Nida got him all dressed up along with makeover like any other male model of our industry. It would not be wrong to say that Arshad was looking really handsome.In the beginning of the show Arshad was all dressed up in Shalwar Kameez and was looking like any simple guy but at the end of the show he looked like a hunk.

Ohkay so, things got intense in this episode & I am glad they are moving the story forward at a decent pace now. I do feel that this drama should end may be at the 18th episode because most of the twists & turns have been revealed & now there’s nothing much left. I think they have shown us a heart break & now all there’s left to show is how Sameer will take a stand for the sake of his lady love Dhaani.
Things went from bad to worse pretty quickly & that was all because of Sameer’s mistake. Sameer did get a chance to convey his feelings to Dhaani but little did he know that a storm was awaiting to overtake their lives. Maya has already been getting a tough time from Sameer so it was imperative that she would over react at what she saw. I once again feel it was Sameer’s mistake that he obediently agreed to get engaged to Maya when he was not in love with her. Sameer has realized his feelings for Dhaani now because his jealousy made him realize that he was in love with her, fair enough, but the way he reacted later still didn’t make me respect him tad bit as he once again came across as a very weak individual who had no courage to take a stand for Dhaani.
Maya obviously blew things out of proportion but even though Dhaani didn’t think much about it, things turned ugly just like Shaani predicted. Shaani was right in feeling that Maya would report the entire incident to her family & then the parents will get involved & then Sameer’s father will speak to Kaleem & this is exactly what happened. Everyone in this situation was only thinking about themselves but the people who were getting scrutinized were actually innocent. Rehan obviously knows that Riyasat has invested so much of money because he knew that Maya will get the returns after she will get married to Sameer, that is why he was furious as he didn’t want things to go wrong. At this point when Rehan & his wife were planning on telling everything to Kaleem, I actually thought that Sameer will take the entire blame on himself but he didn’t & just said that Maya was misunderstanding things. I think it was a right time for Sameer to tell his father that he was interested in Dhaani & not Maya but he chose to stay silent as he still hasn’t mustered up enough courage.
It was actually quite sad to see Kaleem getting insulted by Rehan for the mistake his own son was responsible for but even though I knew Kaleem will give a piece of his mind to his daughters, I liked how stood up for Dhaani in front of Rehan & gave a very stern reply to him for all the things he implied about her, it showed that Kaleem had a lot of trust in his daughters & even though he was strict, he was not so typical to be trusting an outsider over Dhaani. Sadly, Bee Jee had to face the wrath for Dhaani’s mistake but it was good that even then Kaleem didn’t doubt his daughter & chose to believe what she told him. I liked how the entire family came together in the hard times & stood by each other’s side. However, Dhaani is still suffering because she got the confession of Sameer but her entire family had to pay a heavy price for it as Kaleem not only got insulted but left the job too. I liked how Raja like a son lent a moral support to Kaleem, it is good to see Raja turning out to be so mature & responsible to make Kaleem rely on him.
I am glad that even before Rehan could use Kaleem as a scapegoat, Kaleem resigned himself & that was another defeat that Rehan had to face. It was a good message that Rehan received that Kaleem might have no wealth in his comparison, but he surely was a man of principles & he wasn’t someone so shameless who would tolerate someone blaming & maligning his daughter’s image just like that. Sameer chose to speak to his Bhabhi about the entire situation but right till the end he didn’t have the guts to confess his love for Dhaani in front of his father. I am looking forward to what his plan would be & how he will undo the pain & distress that his recklessness has caused to Kaleem’s family.
Overall, this episode of Dhaani was interesting too. I must say if there’s one drama in which they put the OST to good use it is Dhaani, they literally use it at such an appropriate situation that you really enjoy listening to it. I have said this before & I will say that again that if the character of Maya had such an important role in the story, then they should have hired someone who could actually act because the poor performance of the the girl playing the role of Maya was sticking out like a sore thumb in this episode which was filled with some powerpacked & intense performances by the rest of the actors. I really really hope that they don’t drag this drama anymore & end it may be in next couple of episodes. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Dhaani.

Ohkay so, honestly speaking, I think it is quite interesting that Mishi & Haider as a couple have hit the rock bottom because it makes things real. As we know that every relationship goes through some sort of trials & turbulence in order to last longer & strengthen, that is why after watching tonight’s episode, despite feeling bad, I was kind of excited to see how Mishi & especially Haider will deal with this messy situation & come out of it. I think the entire responsibility now lies on Haider to make things right as he is solely responsible for causing heartache to his wife.
I think the writer or may be the director at this point have started to leave things on the viewer’s imagination a bit more because where there are a few things that need coverage, I feel the team doesn’t put much effort into conveying it. Even though it was a pleasant surprise to see Mishi talking to Hamna about Manan with an approval from her side, I think the director should have established the fact that what made Mishi change her mind? If they had shown that Mishi eavesdropped on the conversation that Manan & Hamna had, I guess that would have sufficed, or may be if they had omitted Mishi’s disapproval in the first place, things wouldn’t have seem so out of the blue at this stage. Similarly, in the very next scene, we got to know that it was Sara who initiated this proposal of Hamna for Manan, so I was once again left wondering as to what made Sara change her mind too? Throughout the journey of this drama, I have always appreciated the precise approach of the director but I feel few things were taken a bit too casually by him, which actually needed some coverage at least. Anyways, Hamna & Manan got engaged & things sailed smoothly for both of them. I don’t know why but I like watching both of them together, so I hope they do give us some nice moments of Manan & Hamna as well.
So, Haider ended up following the orders of Asfand & despite knowing that Mishi will not appreciate any of that, Haider ended up spilling the beans. Mishi definitely didn’t have any issues with what Haider told to the media about CM hitting on her, but what pinched her the most was the fact that Haider endorsed the notion that Mishi was an indecent model who was on a low level of morals, but it was only because of Haider’s perseverance that she changed. I think it was absolutely wrong of Haider to say that because it was like he was taking the entire credit for something that he was not responsible for in the first place. Mishi on her own, despite being a model was a very different person with very different agendas in life. Mishi was a part of the glamour world but she never gave it so much of importance because of which she left it the day Haider told her to & her morals & ethics didn’t allow her to fall into a deep pit of this glamour world too. Just one statement of Haider literally ruined all the efforts that Mishi had made till date to adjust in his lifestyle & he literally took everything away from Mishi citing politics as an excuse.
I think Haider needs to remind himself that the day he got married to Mishi was the day when Asfand fired him & told him that he won’t be needing him anymore, so now what has changed that Asfand is being a bit too generous when it comes to Haider? I think even though Haider feels it is because of his fearlessness & ruthless approach in politics that Asfand needs him, he is missing the point that he is getting all these favors by Asfand because of Mishi only. Asfand knew that CM’s proposal to Mishi was the best way to malign his image & probably defeat his party in the elections, that is why he started taking Haider in confidence, started giving him unnecessary favors & the moment he learned that he has Haider wrapped around his finger, he started coaxing his agenda to make Haider spill the beans & sadly, Haider obliged. I wish Haider does some reflection on himself & on Asfand too, that is when he will realize that it is only because of Mishi that Asfand has given him so much of power & money & without Mishi’s presence in his life, Haider would have never meant anything to a conniving politician like Asfand Sultan.
I am totally with Mishi on this, she has literally changed her entire life for Haider, she has given up on so much & has turned down so many opportunities, because she respected the promise she made to Haider & I think more than Haider she has fulfilled her duties & has put in more efforts to make this marriage work. Mishi had all the right to walk out on Haider because there was only one thing that Mishi demanded from Haider & it was respect but sadly, Haider went blind in his urge to become a politician that he literally destroyed their relationship & betrayed Mishi’s trust. What was even more sad was that Haider was not apologetic for his mistake & he was trying to cover it up & justify it by saying he had no other option & it didn’t mean anything. I think the choice that Mishi has put in front of Haider is completely justified. Haider needs to leave Asfand’s party because it isn’t bringing any good to him, in fact it is ruining the relationships that he has held closer to his heart all his life.
I must say, I loved Khadija’s stance in this episode. ‘Mwashray ko badalnay nikla tha, khud badalta ja raha hai’, how often do we see such mothers in our dramas who blame their sons for their mistakes? It would have been so easier for Khadija to put the entire blame on Mishi saying that she must have forced Haider to earn such a lifestyle but no, she has spent enough time with Mishi to know that she is not materialistic & her priorities in life are simple & different. Khadija earned my respect even more when she fought with Haider for the sake of Mishi, she surely is a one of a kind mother in law who knows her son better but also knows her daughter in law to be fighting for her right. Khadija knew that in this situation, Haider was at fault, so in stead of sugarcoating things, she set him straight. Haider has started to lose the plot I believe because he not only misunderstood Mishi, but he also misjudged Khadija saying that she must be taking sides with Mishi to save Hamna’s engagement with Manan. Oh dear, I feel Haider has to make a lot of amends & it would be interesting to see how he will do that.
Overall, this entire episode was done really really well & all the situations are so convincing. I have always said this & I will say it again that Besharam is an intelligent piece of writing & I thank Sarwat Nazeer for coming up with such a simple but unique plot. The director & the actors have literally added life to this screenplay & no wonder why it has become a favorite drama for all the right reasons. I think it is actually quite good that the writer added some problems in Mishi & Haider’s relationship because now Haider will realize his mistakes & it will put things in perspective where he will learn about what & who is more important in his life. All of a sudden, I feel things have become even more realistic because every relationship has its highs & lows & I am sure like how they have given so many good messages throughout this journey, they will end this with a positive message too. Please share your thoughts about this amazing episode of Besharam, even though I am a little sad that Wahab Sunyara didn’t have any dialogue in this episode, but chalo, koi nahi! :/
