A lot of development was seen in the story in this episode. It was like someone just pushed the fast forward button from a slow motion mode. Meesha has finally realized what a fool she was to run after Mayer who did not take much interest in her. He played with her feelings and used her to make Zaini jealous. Meesha was too innocent to understand what was going on but Roman was clever enough to identify this oldest trick in the book; to get someone’s attention by showing interest in someone else. In this case, Mayer was trying to gain Zaini’s attention by taking interest in Meesha in front of her. Meesha has finally realized that there is no use running after someone and degrading oneself in the process. Roman was seen giving her a shoulder to cry. This was the cutest scene of the episode. Meesha is slowly realizing what Roman means in her life, how he has been there for her through thick and thin and helped her every time without asking for anything in return. She hates it when he talks to Ammie, or when Meher mentions Ammie and Roman’s marriage.

Roman was also seen trying to show Meesha that what she feels for Mayer is not love. When you love somebody, you get sad when you see them with someone else. Meesha has always been jealous or angry to see Zaini with Mayer, but never has been truly sad. But Roman’s theory did prove to be right as we did see Meesha getting very sad when Meher mentioned Ammie and Roman marriage.

I absolutely loved the flashbacks Meesha and Roman, both had of each other. It took her some time but she has finally realized who her true prince charming is. As Dado said, when you love somebody, you can share anything with them without any hesitation; they are the ones who give you the shoulder to cry on. It is easy to share all your worries and sorrows with them. This is when Meesha remembers Roman and how he has always been there for her to fix things when she is in trouble. He is the one who consoles her in her sorrows and helps to sort out her worries. Her attraction and likeness for Mayer was just a phase and would pass over time. Meesha, however, is still in the denial phase. She still thinks Roman is not a normal human being but a fairy man! How extremely naive of Meesha to still think this. The scene where Meesha gets jealous when Roman is talking to Ammie was a treat to watch. She did not like the fact that he was giving someone else attention other than her. Meesha is slowly developing feelings for him but will she ever accept these feelings and come out of her denial phase?

Meesha always had one dream; to marry a good looking, rich guy. When she wanted Mayer in her life, it was because he was the means to fulfill her dream. She was actually running after her dream which shattered when she came back to reality and this is what saddened her the most.

Zaini has proved to be a brilliant actress. She was able to win over Bano by faking some emotional dialogues which impressed Bano completely and she forgave her. Bano also agreed to get Mayer and Zaini married. Zaini and Meher are excited as for them it is like they had won a jackpot. They left no chance to insult Meesha and make her aware of her true place. I truly felt bad for her in these scenes.

Mayer may be smitten by Zaini but he cannot help but compare both of them. One is kind, loving, with a pure heart. She respects the poor and treats them well. The other is selfish, self centered and who has no respect for poor people and leaves no chance to ill treat them.

Okay, so my prediction was right. The man sent by Shah Baba is supposed to be paired with Ammie. Their scene was extremely cute! I hope Ammie also finds her prince charming in him. Although he is under the impression that Ammie is the girl he is looking for, when it is really Meesha that he is searching for. One more scene worth mentioning is that nightmare that Meesha sees all the time. Previously, it was never clear but now she finally saw the whole dream. The person she is running away from and who means her harm is none other than Mayer and her savior is Roman. Is this not enough to open her eyes?

The pre cap for the episode seems promising. Zaini has finally confessed that she is not Mayer’s ‘mystery girl’, but it is actually Meesha. Somewhere deep down Mayer always knew that Meesha was the girl he had met, but he was not ready to accept it. He has finally proposed to Meesha. Will Meesha accept the proposal? Or will she stay with Roman whom she truly loves? Dado is also aware of Roman’s feelings for Meesha and advices him to tell her. Will he finally confess? Or will it be too late? I am eagerly looking forward to the next episode.

The show is nearing towards its end now. We saw the second last episode this week. We got to see a lot of different genres in this one show; first we saw comedy and romance then the show turned a little serious and we saw sorrow and gloominess and now it has turned into a thriller with lots of suspense to keep the viewers hooked. Every week we see something new which manages to shock us. This week we saw what a weak character Mayer is. At first, I thought he acted the way he did because he was rich and spoiled. But now we got to see a side of him which was very shocking. Mayer gets trapped when he overhears Shah Baba revealing his true intentions of getting Meesha married to Farjad. He now knows Meesha has no relation with Shah Baba and he brought her to Shahabad to trap her. Now Mayer wants Meesha to get married to Farjad so that he can go home safely. The way he was pleading with Shah Baba to let him go was just pathetic. He just does not care about Meesha and what Shah Baba would do to her. He is not even trying to help her and instead he is following all the orders given by Shah Baba. How pathetic! Mayer is the biggest disappointment in this show for me.

Roman has finally arrived to save Meesha from Shah Baba’s clutches. He pretended to be a close friend of Farjad and managed to convince Shah Baba that he knows where Farjad is and he can help him to bring Farjad back. The scene where Roman convinces Shah Baba that he knows where Farjad is hiding cracked me up big time! Roman is the true savior of Meesha. I also liked the scene when Meesha is crying and Roman comes and gives her his shoulder to cry on. Meesha soon realizes that she is supposed to be angry at him and becomes rude to him again and tells him that she does not need him anymore. It was obvious that she is tired of being angry at him now. She only starts listening to him when he says that her Dado has sent him.

Roman finally reveals the truth and tells Meesha about her parents and how Shah Baba killed them. The whole episode was based on how Meesha slowly starts to realize that all is not what it seems like. There is something fishy and upon investigating she gets clues in the form of a prisoner who used to be her caretaker when she was a kid. The past few episodes were full of suspense. It felt like I was watching a mystery show and all the mysteries were slowly being uncovered one by one.

The preview for the next episode seems very scary. Shah Baba is desperate to get his son married to Meesha and since Roman lied to him and he does not see Farjad coming back home anytime soon, he decides to get married to Meesha himself! I really did not expect anything like this. I have full faith in Roman and I know he will save Meesha from Shah Baba’s evil plans. But it would be interesting to watch how he does it!

Haissam Hussain has done a wonderful job and has made this show a masterpiece. All the beautiful locations and costumes never cease to amaze me. The scenic beauty, the mountains and the greenery are a treat for the eye. Maya Ali and Faizan Khwaja were the stars of this episode. I am really looking forward to its last episode. We can expect a lot of drama and suspense in the last episode.

Do not miss the last episode guys!

Mariam Shafiq

It is about time this show ends! It has been dragging for the past few weeks and has completely lost its charm. I fail to understand how Meesha can trust a stranger and go along with him! I liked the show because of its light heartiness and a refreshing concept, but the introduction of the villain Shah Baba has made the story more dramatic. It looks more like a suspense thriller now!

Meesha and Mayer scenes were hilarious! Mayer’s character is the most disappointing character in the show. Wasn’t he supposed to be the Prince Charming? Instead he has turned out be a rich, spoiled brat who complains about everything and instead of taking care of Meesha when they were stuck at the station, he expected Meesha to look after him. He expected Meesha to sort out all the problems as he was too fragile to do anything. Meesha is also in no mood to forgive him for the way he treated her and finally takes her revenge by giving him a tight slap! Her attitude towards him is cold and she leaves no opportunity to taunt him. Way to go Meesha! It was the best scene of the episode for me! Maya Ali has done a very god job and Osman Khalid Butt’s expressions were extremely comical!

Farjad finally got the guts to free Aimee and the duo were seeing running in the forest. Aimee kept on complaining that she was hungry and her wonderful hairstyle made me stare at her with a look of fascination in my eyes. I cannot believe someone can carry such a hairstyle… I mean hair disaster so well! Why is Aimee so cute? Warda Butt has become one of my favorite comedy actors who can never fail to make you laugh. She has also given a brilliant performance in her other show, Ghaoo where she has played the role of a girl who is mentally challenged. She does not seem like a new comer from any angle as she seems so comfortable in front of the camera.

According to Mayer ‘Meesha has changed’. He does not like the change in Meesha as he does not give him importance anymore. He thinks that she has become proud after getting to know that she belongs to a rich family and now does not consider him worthy of herself. You were not worthy of Meesha before either Mayer! Someone like Zaini is the perfect match for you. I hope they get back together and live Happily Never After! Shah Baba has also started playing his games and is trying to convince Meesha to leave Mayer as he is not worthy of her anymore. I hope Meesha leaves Mayer soon!

Roman has come to Meesha’s’ rescue! After hearing everything from Dado, he goes after Meesha to save her from Shah Baba’s evil plans. Roman also helps Aimee and Farjad when they were running from Shah Baba. He helps them by telling them a place to hide. Roman has become the savior of so many people. I hope Meesha finally sees what a wonderful person he is!

The preview for the next episode seems interesting. Roman finally manages to get into Shah Baba’s house. I am waiting for next week now! I hope we get to see a fast paced episode next week and the show is not dragged for more than one or two more episodes. It will be interesting to watch how Roman saves Meesha from Shah Baba.
Keep watching the show!

Phew! It’s about time they revealed all the secrets. The show is dragging too much now. Finally all the secrets are out in the open. We already knew about Meesha’s parents from the previous episodes. Her father was a healer who went against Shah Baba and was murdered by him. Now we know how Saifullah came into the picture. Saifullah knew Meesha’s father and had offered him to take her to the city with him. After his death, he somehow managed to take her away from Shah Baba who wanted Meesha to marry his son, Farjad. Interesting! I never could have thought the background story would be like this. Faiza Iftikhar has come up with a brilliant story and these additional parts have made the story even more interesting.

We saw Shah Baba finally coming to Mayer’s house to take Meesha with him. He convinced everyone of his web of lies that he is related to Meesha and wants to give her her share of inheritance. Meesha was at first reluctant to go with him but Mayer was able to convince her as he told her that if she goes, no one would be able to point fingers at her family background. This made Meesha agree but she still sought Dado’s permission but thanks to Zaini, she could not even meet Dado. Meesha is in serious trouble now as Shah Baba will force her to marry Farjad and the hoity toity Mayer would not be able to save her. Mayer already smells something is fishy about Shah Baba. Personally, I have started to seriously dislike his character. First, he raised his hand at Meesha and now we got to see the spoiled brat side of him. He expects Meesha to simply forget about the slap after his so called apology by which he managed to make Meesha even more upset. Well Mayer, Meesha does not forgive anyone so easily! She wants to give him the same treatment that he gave her. Way to go Meesha!

Roman will surely be Meesha’s savior. Dado has revealed everything to him and now he is the last hope to save Meesha from the evil clutches of Shah Baba! I hope he reaches in time to save Meesha. Bano’s attitude towards Meesha has completely changed after she got to know Meesha’s family background. Previously, Meesha did not meet her standards and she could not digest her son marrying a girl like her. But now it is enough for her to know that Meesha belongs to a rich family to change her opinion. Now according to her “Mayer and Meesha are soul mates”. How pathetic!

The person who was the most shocked by this news was Meher. She could not digest the fact that Meesha could belong to such a rich family. She now regrets all the words she had said to Saifullah, and blames Dado for not telling them about this before. Thanks to Zaini’s carelessness, Dado is in a very bad state. She made Roman promise that he would take care of Meesha and bring her back safely.

Roman finally raised his voice and told a big ‘NO’ to Surraiya. He clearly told her that he would never marry her. It’s about time he stopped being black mailed by her. She finally kicked him out of her house and he is now free to go wherever he wants. Another scene worth mentioning is of Aimee and Farjads’. Farjad finally gathered the guts to release Aimee from the prison. Warda Butt once again gave a brilliant performance. She is very talented and has the potential to go very far.

The show has revealed its climax now the ending is near and you wouldn’t want to miss a single episode! How will Roman save Meesha from Shah Baba now? I can’t wait for the next episode!

Mariam Shafiq.

This episode was too much of a drag. Some scenes were not needed at all like all the Zaini scenes and the gardener scene. Not much happened overall in the episode. Zaini is back in Mayer’s life and is trying to create problems between Mayer and Meesha. Mayer is constantly being told that he is in full control of Meesha and would do anything that she says. We saw him getting extremely angry when he heard the same words from Meesha herself. This is the reason why his bubble completely burst when Meesha argued with Bano and he went and slapped her. I was very shocked to see this side of Mayer! He was guilty afterwards and even though Bano told him he did not do anything wrong, he was still very upset.

Bano is still trying to make Meesha’s life miserable by making rules for every second of her day. Bano is finding it impossible to change Meesha. Meesha is still seen socializing with the servants and she even came in a disheveled state in front of Bano’s guest and this embarrassed Bano. She even rejected Meesha’s dream wedding dress. She had always thought that she would wear the dress on her wedding and Bano brutally rejected it and called it a cheap dress. She also did not like the fact that Meesha bargained for the price since it is against her standards. It was the first time Meesha got really upset and she ended up having a fight with Mayer. She actually called him a Mama’s boy. The look on Mayer’s face was hilarious! I couldn’t help but laugh at this scene! Zaini and Meher were seen gloating about the fact that Mayer slapped Meesha. How pathetic!

There was still no progress seen in Roman and Meesha’s relationship. Meesha is still under the impression that Roman has played with her feelings. Roman was happy to see that her behavior with the rest of the people has not changed. She is still the care free, loving, and caring Meesha. Roman noticed that only her attitude with him has changed but he cannot figure out the reason. We also saw a lighthearted scene when Roman and Meesha go for shopping and the shopkeeper thinks they both are the couple! I doubt Meesha will ever change despite Bano’s attempt to change her. Meher was once again seen filing Bano’s ears against Meesha and according to her Meesha has been spoiled by her Dado. Really Meher! Please have a close look at Zaini.

I feel really bad for Aimee who is trapped in a prison by Shah Baba. Poor girl kept on screaming but to no avail. Farjad saw her disheveled state and went back to plead with Shah Baba but he is not ready to release Aimee. Shah Baba has a new plan now! He has decided to go and get Meesha himself and he has every intention of getting her married to Farjad. Farjad did tell him about Meesha’s upcoming wedding but Shah Baba has full intention to get her back at any cost. Qavi Khan is doing a great job as Shah Baba. The negative role is suiting him a lot. Another character I felt bad for is Dado. Zaini is so care less and selfish! She actually forgot to bring Dado’s medicine due to which Dado’s health deteriorated.

The preview for the next episode seems more interesting. Shah Baba has reached Mayer’s house to take Meesha with him. Will Meesha go with him and get trapped? She is clearly not happy with the marriage as she doesn’t want to live with restrictions. She has already lived with restrictions most of her life, thanks to Meher. I hope Roman and Meesha’s misunderstanding clears soon.

Mariam Shafiq.

Finally the secrets have been revealed. I have been waiting for a long time to find out who is Meesha, where had she come from and how is she related to Shah Baba. All the questions were answered in the episode. Meesha is the daughter of Shah Baba’s enemy Sikander and she became a prisoner of Shah Baba after her parents died. She was a lucky charm for Shah Baba’s family and that is why he decided to get his son married to her. But some turn of events led Meesha to escape and she landed up with Saifullah. I was not expecting such a twist at all. It came as a huge surprise to me. Now the only question that needs to be answered is that where does Saifullah fit into all this? How did he know Meesha? Only Dado has the answer to these questions. I hope these questions also get answered soon.

I was relieved to see that Aimee is finally beginning to question things around her as she thinks something is fishy. Shah Baba finally found out the truth about Aimee that she is not Meesha and has in fact, proved unlucky for his family. One bad news after the other came since Aimee had come to live with them. Farjad tries to defend Aimee and tries to save her from Shah Baba’s wrath but all in vain as Shah Baba is not ready to listen to him. I felt really bad for Aimee in this episode. Her naiveté led her into this problem. I hope Farjad is able to help her and she gets released soon.

Meher is still playing her games. She tells Meesha to do the exact opposite of what Bano wants and then fills Bano’s ears against Meesha. She is trying her best to destroy Meesha’s image further in Bano’s eyes. Bano is also completely disappointed with Meesha and is disgusted by Meesha’s manners and ways. She is trying her best to teach Meesha but it seems like an impossible task to change Meesha’s ways. As i said before “It is not easy to tame a lioness”. We saw a few lighthearted scenes in this episode when Meesha makes blunders in front of Bano. Meesha’s character can make you laugh even when she is not trying!

Meher is able to sense that Meesha is not happy and even Mayer asks her that why is she so indifferent to him. Both the time she makes lame excuses to convince both of them. But each time she tries to convince them, the more unconvincing her words seems to be, it is clear that she is still in love with Roman.

The most heart breaking scene of the episode was when Meesha started degrading Roman in front of Mayer when Mayer told her that Roman was the new wedding planner. Her behavior with Roman was beyond rude, and even Roman was unable to understand the reason behind her hate for him. He is extremely hurt by her crude words. She keeps on taunting him time and time again, and Roman listens quietly without uttering a word. Meesha’s words haunt him and he keeps on wondering the reason behind her rude behavior. I could not help but feel bad for him.

Zaini and Mayer became friends again. An interesting turn of event, and it came as a shock to me when Mayer accepted her offer for friendship. Osman Khalid Butt really needs to work on his expressions. It is hard to tell what he is feeling as he usually has the same expression on his face. But overall he is not doing a bad job; you can overlook a few things since it is his first show. Maya Ali leaves one impressed as always and Faizan Khwaja’s eyes speak volumes even when he has no dialogue, one can easily tell what he is feeling. Its a quality which only experienced actors possess!

The preview for the next episode seems pretty shocking. Meesha is seen accusing Bano and Mayer slaps her! Mayer seems extremely angry with her. It will be an interesting episode to watch for sure.

At last we saw the story moving ahead. A lot of development was seen in this episode. Meher has started scheming again and she has managed to convince both Dado and Meesha that she has changed and wants to repent for her behavior. Meher suddenly has a ‘change of heart’ when Meesha consoles her when she was crying over Aimee. She manages to persuade Dado to allow her and Meesha to go and stay at Bano’s house for a month and fulfill Banos’ condition. But she has an ulterior motive behind this as she wants to ruin things for Meesha and make Bano realize that she cannot change or mold Meesha according to her standards and criteria for a daughter in law. Bano is also seen unhappy that Dado has agreed to the condition. She can barely tolerate Meesha but has agreed to give Meesha a chance for Mayers’ sake but she has sworn to make things difficult to Meesha. Mayer, on the other hand is seen happy and excited at his and Meesha’s upcoming wedding.
I could not judge Meesha’s sentiments in this episode. It was hard to determine whether she was happy at her dream finally coming true, or sad at losing Roman. It is important at this point for Meesha to talk to Roman and clear things between them. One thing I am extremely surprised about is Roman’s decision to marry Surraiya. Surraiya has finally managed to convince Roman to marry her through her blackmail. Poor Roman has agreed so that Meesha’s life would not get ruined. The scheming and foul woman has told everybody about her upcoming marriage to Roman. Meesha also got to hear it from Meher and it came as a huge shock to her. Roman’s image has further been reduced in Meesha’s eyes. What an ironic situation! I do not know whether to laugh at the irony or be sad at Roman’s situation. Roman has managed to get a job at Bano’s house as Mayer and Meesha’s wedding planner! I cannot help but feel pity for Roman.
Aimee and Farjad were the stars of this episode. The look extremely cute together and their scenes are always lighthearted and enjoyable. Warda Butt and Mukarram Kaleem have done a great job. Farjad has finally brought Aimee to his house. Aimee was shocked to see the huge mansion and could not help but think that she has finally managed to find her prince charming in Farjad. Shah Baba gave a very warm welcome to Aimee as he thinks that she is Meesha. We also got more insight as to why Shah Baba was so desperate to find Meesha all those years. Meesha is supposedly considered lucky for his family and he wants his son to get married to her. The surprising twist that we got to know is that Farjad and Meesha were about to get married in their childhood but it could not happen due to some turn of events. I am curious to know what really happened and how did Saifullah come in the picture? But the main question is what will happen once Shah Baba gets to know that Aimee is not the girl he has been looking for? Will Farjad leave Aimee or will he marry her against Shah Baba’s wishes?
The most hilarious scene of the episode was when Zaini was left to care for Dado. Zaini, who had not lifted a finger all her life, was seen taking care of her granny and is completely at her granny’s beck and call. It was one of the best scenes of the episode for me.
Bano has also started to place restrictions on the free spirited Meesha. She is attempting to tame a lioness but will it be possible? Meesha has had a very simple upbringing. Will she able to fulfill Bano’s criteria for a daughter in law? The preview for the next epsiode did not look convincing. Meesha faces Bano’s displeasure at whatever she attempts to do. Will Meher makes the situation worse for her? What is the secret of Meesha’s childhood that only two people know so far; Saifullah and Dado? Don’t forget to watch Aik Nayee Cinderella next week to find out!

This week’s episode had shocking twists and turns. I did not expect all these events to occur and they came as a huge surprise. The change in Meesha’s behavior is astonishing. Previously, she was always compliant to her Dado’s orders and demand but now she had taken the biggest decision of her life without her consent. Dado is heartbroken and cannot understand the reason behind the changed attitude of Meesha. Meesha is thinking emotionally and has only one motive behind her decision; to prove to Roman that she is not as naive as he thinks and he cannot play with her feelings. She wants to gain back herself respect that she thinks is broken by Roman whom she trusted the most. Maya Ali was brilliant in this episode. The sudden transition from a lively, innocent girl to a serious girl, whose spirit has been broken, is very well played by her.
Bano is scheming to stop Meesha from marrying Mayer. She had laid down a condition in front of Mayer and Meesha; she wants Meesha to stay at their place so that she can change her ways and polish her so that she can be introduced in their society. Bano knows that Dado would never agree to this. I absolutely love the bonding between Meesha and her Dado. She knew she was wrong to hurt her Dado and take the most important decision of her life without her Dado’s consent and happiness. The emotional scene between Dado and Meesha when she comes back was heartwarming.
Meher was seen taunting Dado about Meesha’s decision to go and stay at Bano’s house and gloating that her daughters would never do such a thing. She was pointing finger at Meesha’s upbringing which broke Dado’s heart. The irony was that at that very moment her two daughters were not in the house. Aimee had run away with Farjad while Zaini was in the police station as she was caught drunk. This additional part about Zaini getting drunk was not at all needed in this episode. Aimee and Farjad scenes once again made me laugh. You cannot help but smile at Aimee’s sweetness and innocence. Warda Butt’s acting has made Aimees’ character even more special.
Mayer finally finds out what kind of treatment Meesha gets at her house and wants to get married to her immediately. This shocks both Bano and Meesha but Bano controls the situation and delays the wedding by keeping her condition. I was happy to see that Mayer was not in favour of her mother’s decision to change Meesha, he loves her just the way she is. We also saw Mayer giving a cold look to Roman when he saw him and Meesha together. Meesha’s refusal to acknowledge Roman as her friend hurt Roman’s feelings. I could not help but feel sad for him.
I cannot believe Surraiya would fall so low and blackmail Roman to stay with her. I was disgusted by her behavior and poor Roman gave in to her blackmail just to save Meesha’s dreams. Roman also tried to talk to Meesha but she was in no mood to hear him. He is puzzled by the sudden change in her behavior and wants to know the reason behind it. If only they would talk and clear things up all this confusion and misunderstanding would go away!
The preview for the next episode seems interesting. Meher and Meesha have shifted to Bano’s house and Bano is treating Meesha very harshly. It seems like Bano is up to something! What is her new plan and why has she made Roman the wedding planner for Meesha and Mayer’s wedding? When will Meesha’s past be revealed? I hope we get all the answers soon.

Maya Ali and Faizan Khwaja were the stars of this episode. They both have done a wonderful job. Their expressions and timing was brilliant. Hats off! I always found Meesha and her antics hilarious, even when she was bossed and ordered around by the evil stepmother and step sisters, but for the first time I felt sad at her predicament. A misunderstanding has emerged between Meesha and Roman and Meesha feels exploited. She thinks Roman has played with her feelings because of the twisted way the truth came out in front of her.
Meesha was ready to give up her dreams for Roman when the shattering truth came in front of her. Roman lied to Suraiya and this was overheard by Meesha who believed it to be the truth. Meesha completely loses her self esteem and resorts to the only way left to gain it back; by marrying Mayer. She had no intention to say yes to him as she had finally realized how much she loved Roman. But just to give him the taste of his own medicine she says yes to Mayer and tells Roman that she knew his truth all along and she was the one to play with his feelings. Meesha said some really harsh words to him which broke his heart completely.
‘Tumne socha bhi kaise ke Mayer jaise larke ke samne koi larki tumhe ghaas dalegi’
These words spoken by Meesha broke his heart into pieces and he couldn’t suppress his tears. My heart went out to him in this scene. Faizan Khwaja was superb! Actors are usually horrible at crying but Faizan did a great job. Roman’s tears actually made me sad.
I am surprised that Mayer could not judge that Meesha is not happy by the way she accepted his proposal. She was so unhappy and it was clearly written on her face. Sometimes getting what you have always dreamed off is not enough, because there may be other things that would make you even more happier.
Dado is completely against Meesha’s decision of marrying Mayer as she knows about her feelings for Roman, and thinks that she is blindly running after her dreams. But the truth is very different; she is only marrying him because of her self respect that she thinks Roman has crushed.
Roman has completely given up now and is going back. He just wants Meesha to be happy with Mayer. His happiness lies in hers. I have said it before and I would say it again, I love Roman’s character because of his selflessness. He likes to help people and make them happy and never asks for anything in return. I hope Meesha gets to know the truth soon and everything is cleared between them.
I am getting more and more curious by the day. What is Meesha’s past? Who is Shah Baba and Farjad and how are they related to Meesha? And the funny part is poor Farjad thinks Aimee is Meesha and that is why he is adamant on marrying her. What will happen once Farjad gets to know Aimee is not the girl he is looking for?
I was disappointed to see that Meher discriminates between her own daughters. She degrades Aimee, and Zaini always gets the limelight. Meher went so far as to slap Aimee, when she tried to protest against the discrimination. I felt really bad for Aimee. Warda Butt has done a superb job!
Now coming to Mayer and Bano; Mayer’s decision to marry Meesha has created a rift between mother and son. Bano is completely against the marriage as Meher has filed her ears with doubts about Meesha’s past. I hope this delays the marriage and the misunderstanding is cleared between Meesha and Roman and everything falls into place. It seems like interesting things are coming up in this show and trust me, you wouldn’t want to miss a single episode!

This show always manages to bring a smile to my face. Its concept is so refreshing and different from the other shows. The female lead is strong headed but naive at the same time. This combination makes her character even more adorable. She refuses to be intimidated by anybody and this is what I like about Meesha’s character. The whole episode was based on her dilemma. She was confused about her feelings. She kept on wondering why she was not sad now that Mayer was getting married to Zaini. She was not upset at the prospect of losing her love. But was it love in the first place? Roman answered her question when she shared her confusion with him. ‘Maybe your heart belongs to someone else now and that is why you are not affected by their marriage’. This made Meesha question her own feelings.

Today’s episode made the contrast between Mayer and Roman even more clear. Roman had loved Meesha since the beginning, even before she had any clue that he even existed, he fell in love with her just the way she was; simple and sweet. He helped her in every possible way to win over Mayer when he himself loved her so much. He always cared for her and could do anything for her happiness without expecting anything in return. Dado was the only one to recognize his feelings and she also thinks that he is the perfect guy for Meesha. Mayer fell in love with his ‘mystery‘ girl because he found her different from the rest, he was running after an illusion that he had created of that girl and Meesha never fit into that image and that is why he could not recognize her as the same girl he had met that day at the jheel. He could never notice a simple girl like Meesha. Zaini, however, did match the image he had created and so he considered her to be that girl. The truth was finally revealed by Aimee who spilled the beans and exposed Zaini’s lie. Mayer finally got to know the real girl was Meesha. Mayer is acting like a selfish person who at first played with Meesha’s feelings to make Zaini jealous and now expects her to accept his love after the truth is revealed. He proposed to her and fully expected her to say yes. He seemed pretty confident that she would agree. He had given her time to think because of her lack of response.

Meesha is again confused at her own reaction, she should be happy and overwhelmed but instead she feels sad and empty. She can now have everything she has ever wished for; her prince charming, a palace and to be treated like a princess. Then what is stopping her from being happy? The first person that comes to her mind is Roman and she runs off to tell him about Mayer’s proposal but she finally finds the answer to all her questions when she is about to tell Roman about Mayer. The sudden realization and unbelievable truth shocked her to the core; she was not happy because her happiness was in someone else. Someone who had always been there for her and with whom she shared all her worries, happiness and sorrows. Her true love was none other than Roman. This was my favorite scene of the episode. When she asks Roman to close his eyes and she looks at him and suddenly realizes how much she loves him.

Roman finally knows that Meesha reciprocates his feelings. He knows her so well that he could easily read her face and recognize her feelings for him. He had never confessed to her because he did not want to shatter her dreams. She had dreamed of a handsome prince, with a palace and he was a mere popper who had nothing to give her except his love. Dado encouraged him to confess his feelings for Meesha as she always wanted her to marry a man who loved her dearly.

Now coming to the funniest part of the episode; I must say, Aimee and Farjad are perfect for each other, they look extremely cute together. I am really happy for Aimee. Their scenes always manage to make you laugh. Also, the scene where Meesha informed Dado that Roman was a fairy man and the expression on Dado’s face at this news was comical. Poor woman could not believe her ears! It is high time now that Meesha gets to know the truth. Her naivety and simplicity is cute and funny.
Will Meesha reject Mayer and go back to Roman? What will be her reaction when she finds out that Roman has been lying to her all this time? I cannot wait for the next episode now!

Aik Nayee Cinderella was a great watch. It was a show which always managed to bring a smile on my face. It was a refreshing show with a different concept. Maya Ali as Meesha was simply wonderful. Meesha’s cute antics were always a treat to watch. Maya was perfect for the role and had given a great performance for a new actor. Faizan Khwaja was the highlight of the show for me. I had not seen him as a lead in any other show and I did not expect much from him but he has surprised me with his superb acting skills. I always looked forward to all the scenes between Meesha and Roman as they both had an amazing chemistry. Sadly, I was a bit disappointed by Osman Khalid Butt’s acting skills. Since he is a theatre actor, I had a lot of expectations from him but he failed to live up to them. He really needs to work on his expressions and dialogue delivery. Haissam Hussain has shown his magic again after Dastaan. His direction was beyond excellent. He gave life and soul to Faiza Iftikhar’s script. And lastly, the beautiful places the show was shot at managed to glorify the beauty of all the scenes in the show. The costumes, makeup, and the setup all gave a fairytale look to the show.

Roman and Meesha finally got back together. I loved all their scenes in this episode. Roman finally got to know the reason why Meesha was so angry all this time and cleared things up. They took their sweet time to clear their misunderstandings! Roman manages to convince Meesha to go along with Shah Baba’s plan and agree to marry Farjad. She finally agrees as she trusts Roman now. She did not want to run away and hide from Shah Baba. Meesha’s confession to Roman about her feelings was the best scene of the episode! Meesha innocently told him that she likes him and in reply she got a smile from Roman and he also told her that he knew this from a long time.

Mayer also tried to emotionally blackmail Meesha to agree to the marriage. He only managed to disgust me! He only cared about what will happen to him if Shah Baba locks him in the prison. Meesha finally saw Mayer’s true face and told him that she never loved him and she never will either! Way to go Meesha! She also requested Shah Baba to let Mayer leave Shahabad. She pitied him and gave his escape as a gift to him. The Prince Charming turned out to be the biggest disappointment and the pauper was actually the true Prince. How ironic! What shines may not always turn out to be gold!

I must say, I was very disappointed with the ending. I expected some power packed ending but the episode ended on a very vague note. Farjad finally managed to stop Shah Baba from getting married to Meesha. He took all his power away from him and left him helpless. But what happened after this? What happened to Meesha and Roman? I wanted to see them living together happily. What happened to Dado, Zaini and Meher? I would have loved to see some scenes between Farjad and Aimee. I really wanted to see a proper ending. They dragged the show so much but could not give a good ending to satisfy the audiences. I am sure many of you will agree with me.

Overall, this show had the perfect ingredients to impress the audiences. It had a good cast, a superb director, a brilliant writer, beautiful locations and last but not the least a good OST. It had suspense, drama, entertainment as well as comedy. I am really going to miss this show! I hope we get to see more shows in the future with such refreshing concepts.
