Seriously, what was this? Like I always said, the writer had a lot of sympathy with a pathetic character of Suhana that is why she made sure that everything fell into its place for her & she got away with everything. I remember when I was reviewing this drama, I always said & believed that the writer was showing Suhana as a victim & I got challenged by a commenter saying that this was not what the writer was trying to portray. In fact, the commenter said that in the end the writer will show Suhana paying a huge price for her mistakes, basically using her character to show how grave the consequences can be but oh well, it’s pretty clear that I was right all along. The writer only showed Suhana as a victim of her wrong desires & she also tried to made a very sickly twisted point that no matter what, you are totally entitled to make mistakes, even if it means getting divorced, tossing your decent hushand aside, going on a test drive of a marriage & when you are done experiementing, you can always come back because hey, you are some royalty & you will get what you want since you fell in love with your ex husband after all.

I really think the writer of this drama should not only be ashamed but bid farwell to an art called scriptwriting because this is so not her cup of tea. I really wish the writer Naila Ansari feels ashamed that she glorified Halala which actually is a severe punishment & is not something which should be treated so lightly. Naila Ansari needs to know that writing a drama & characters is no easy feat, so she should leave this to those who are good at it at least.

When this drama began, the concept of Istikhara was twisted too & it became evident that the writer herself wasn’t too sure therefore she merged different concepts which weren’t coherent with Islamic concepts of Istikhara. The entire focus on Badshaghuni showed that the writer was a bit too obsessed with Bollywood, hence the over usage of this word. Even in this episode, Suhana said ‘mai kitnay bhi JANAM le loon & some stuff like that’, like seriously? What is the writer trying to convey here? Since when do we get to have Janams & more than that, who speaks like that? Why so inspired by Bollywood? Janam? I want to know which number of Janam did the writer have to write this gibberish? May be she will need a few more to mature as a writer!!!

After literally breaking the arms, legs, bones & everything of Istikhara, the writer now went to show that it you fail at marriage(s), Halala’s the way to go? Like seriously? What gives them the right to pick such complex, intricate & sensitive subjects & treat them so casually with such disrespect only for the sake of ratings?

The writer contradicted herself because Suhana got married to protect her family from some badshaghuni but later tossed Imtiyaz aside while completely forgetting that she was still going against Istikhara? The writer also showed infidelity as if it was Suhana’s right because she was having a hard time getting over her boyfriend & her love for him, while still enjoying the luxuries that her husband was providing her!!!

Another funniest thing about this entire story was the fact that everyone was stuck in a rut & didn’t move on even after being not related to each other. Suhana was involved with Rameez when she got married to Imtiyaz, later when she got married to Rameez, she was having heart to hearts with Imtiyaz. Jeena got ditched by Rameez but she was still chasing after him. Seema was another desperado who couldn’t get over Imtiyaz even when he was married to Suhana. Talat kept on calling Rameez’s mother to worsen the matters that too when Suhana was married to Imtiyaz! What a bunch of loons!

This entire episode was also just so haphazard. What was the point of showing that Suhana went missing & then she was at the hospital? Rameez was nowhere to be seen in the rest of the episode after first few minutes where he made tall claims that he’d shoot Imtiyaz & Suhana? Looks like Jeena’s reminder pushed him under the burrow & he decided to stay there & never come out. Also, all of a sudden for 1 scene, Zafar suffered a loss & recovered immediately because of Suhana? I mean seriously? Considering it was the last episode, they still couldn’t end things decently. It was amusing that after treating her father like a nobody & literally misbehaving with him for Rameez’s sake, Suhana was now playing the good daughter game with him. Oh yes, shouldn’t Sitara have contacted Seema when she fell sick? Suhana was never the wise, the courteous, the care taker sort of a person, so why did she call her & not her daughter in law to-be? I must say, the ridiculousness of this entire episode surpassed the hidous cut paste job that was done in those scenes where it was suggested that Imtiyaz was out of the country!!!

Oh well, coming to the last scene, when & why did Imtiyaz come to Suhana’s place on the day of his marriage, where he should have been getting ready to go to the venue to get married to Seema? Chalain jee, now that Suhana realized that she was in love with Imtiyaz, she got him in the end. I must say the nod that Imtiyaz did as if he was saying ‘chal pagli’ was so cringe worthy, it was like he completely forgot that she cheated on him & got married to someone else. That nod literally made it seem that for Imtiyaz what Suhana did was nothing & as if all she did was burn his breakfast! It is absolutely appalling to see that for the sake of ratings, the writers are coming up with such scripts where there is no story, no depth, no message & all that they are promoting is cheating, divorce, infidelity, halala & what not – all that isn’t something to be glorified!!!

Sanam Baloch shouldn’t have said yes to a project like this but I guess she got caught up in doing a favor to Fahad Mustafa. The dialogue ‘kyunki mai Suhana hoon’ was so petty, haan bhai tum jaisa psychi aur dheet koi aur ho bhi nahi sakta. I am still nodding my head in denial as I can’t believe that Sanam Baloch was promoting this drama as a next big thing. Hate to say this but she has lost her charm & even her acting is not as impactful as it used to be. Sarmad Khoosat did a decent job as Imtiyaz & Shehroz Sabzwari, I mean app thakte nahi hain aik ke baad aik flop de de ke? I mean Chain Aye Na ke baad bhi appko Chain Nahi Aya? Anyways, please share your thoughts about Teri Raza which should’ve been named as ‘Laut Ke Budhu Ghar Ko Ai’.

Ohkay so, going by the previous 2 episodes, just when I was beginning to feel that the story & the characters of this drama were now starting to make some sense, this episode came as a ride that evokes motion sickness & makes you nauseous. The story & the characters were once again all over the place & the amount of screaming that happened in this particular episode has left me temporarily deafened. It is amusing to see the writer’s thought process where she is creating one unrealistic scenario after another to keep Suhana & Rameez linked with each other, so much so that almost the entire time I am left wondering where does this happen & on which planet?

I am not too sure what to make out of Suhana’s character, like in the previous episode, she was furious that her cousin Seema got a ride from Imtiyaz to the hospital when her mother was suddenly hospitalized, so much so that Suhana ended up misbehaving with her only to later apologize. It was quite considerate of Imtiyaz to bring Seema to his home & politely requesting her to clear off any misunderstanding that Suhana had. Even though it was Suhana who told Imtiyaz that he shouldn’t have put Seema in an awkward position but for Imtiyaz, Suhana’s peace of mind mattered the most & he made sure to do everything that would guarantee it. To me, Suhana is just like an immature, spoiled brat who wants things her way, even though she is not into this marriage but she didn’t appreciate Seema’s candidness with Imtiyaz? Why so? I am sure this was not because Suhana has become a bit possessive about her husband, it was more like Suhana didn’t have anything to create an issue over, so she grabbed this opportunity to keep her face forlorn for a couple of days more!

Even though Kiran’s character in Kankar had quite a substance but by the end of the drama even she started to irk me, for the reason that she was turning out to be someone who didn’t want anyone to say anything to her & for the exact same reason, Suhana reminded me of Kiran in these episodes as well. Yes, she is trying hard to fulfill her wifely duties but then she is still doing everything to let Imtiyaz know that she is not into this relationship emotionally & mentally & the moment someone says something to her, she goes into ‘mujhe kuch kyun kaha’ mode.

This episode was ridiculous if I have to describe it in one word. Apart from Imtiyaz, every single character was behaving ridiculously & for what reason, I am sure even the writer has no answer to that. It is so obvious that the writer wants to keep Suhana & Rameez linked to each other that is why such ridiculous situations keep on arising which make no sense whatsoever. As if Talat wasn’t enough that even Zafar decided to participate in the circus that his wife was a ring-master of. Just because Imtiyaz recommended Suhana’s friends in his firm for a job, both Talat & Zafar thought it was a good idea to tell Imtiyaz that his wife’s ex-boyfriend is one of the guys who has submitted his CV in his firm? Like seriously? Who would’ve thought of that & why? Why does Talat has these pangs every now & then that compel her to convey it to Imtiyaz that Suhana was dating someone before getting married to him? At one hand she wants Suhana to do everything to make this marriage work & on the other, she herself is doing everything to destroy it. Talat’s fixation with Rameez is beyond me. If Suhana & Imtiyaz have a spat, she calls up Rameez’s mother, now if he applied for a job in Imtiyaz’s firm (which he didn’t), she once again linked it to Suhana & called his mother? I wish Talat & Zafar had more kids because then they’d stop obsessing over Suhana’s ex boyfriend & do something productive.

The entire ex-boyfriend’s mother kidnapping Suhana was such a hilarious scenario & then to add more to the non-serious approach, Rameez’s father Sultan ended up faking a heart-attack to help Suhana run away from his wife’s house-arrest? Seriously? Suhana’s claim that wo Rameez ki aur Rameez uska kya lagta hai was so OTT, but then everyone in this mental family is OTT so no wonder why she was behaving this way. The amount of screaming & yelling that happened in this episode was sickening, like even after muting the TV I could still hear their howling. I must say, the award for coming up with the worst assumptions goes to Manzura, like no surprises why she behaves like a lunatic too, I am sure Suhana’s family has had quite an influence on her. I lol’ed when she told Talat that may be someone had shot Rameez & now Talat will be facing the brunt for it? Uf!

I am sure in the middle of all this, as per the preview, Seema will now try to call to dibs on Imtiyaz, since she is just as desperate as Suhana Desperatana & she has clearly seen that Suhana is still in love with Rameez & Imtiyaz holds no importance in her life, so she will try to make the most of the situation because even she has been behaving like a dog without the bone for quite sometime now, so yep, she will be doing everything to grab the bone this time around. But there’s one thing that I find actually quite amusing, if something happens in Suhana’s life, Rameez is immediately contacted & then blamed, similarly if something happens to Rameez, everyone calls Suhana up as if she is his mother & she has adopted him? Like don’t these guys have a basic common sense that Suhana is now married so why do they assume that she’d be in contact with Rameez, keeping a hawk-eye on his each & every move? This story is beyond ridiculous & I think it can be only watched as a serious-comedy but yes, I will warn all the readers to turn the volume down because these guys are out there with an agenda to deafen you & they can succeed in it considering the amount of screaming they did. I must say I am so disappointed in Sanam Baloch’s overall choice of character & even the portrayal, she has lost her charm, she has clearly forgotten how to act & I think she needs to sit back & revisit her choices if someone (after such a substandard performance) approaches her for another drama! Please share your thoughts about these two episodes of Teri Raza!

Ohkay so, I never really thought I would find myself saying this but I must confess, I found this episode of Teri Raza quite interesting, lol. I know this will come as a surprise but I have a good explanation for it. This happened because after weeks of torture, I found one decent character in this play who I found realistic & relate-able & yes, that is Imtiyaz. It doesn’t mean that I would stop calling him Paa Mmtyaz but at least he seems sane one out of the lot, for now. I am also going to say that the loopholes of the story are still there, there are still so many unreasonable things, conversations & dialogues in this drama that make me question its purpose but overall, this episode was surprisingly & fairly decent!

Well, just when Suhana found herself stuck in this marriage, Imtiyaz, like a doting husband started making amends only to make her feel comfortable & loved. Imtiyaz has started changing himself to fit the image that Suhana had in her mind of her life partner but looks like there’s nothing that is going to ever please Suhana in regards to this marriage because if Imtiyaz fixes one thing, she finds a reason to complain about the other, if he directs his energies on that matter, she opens a new case.

It is not a mystery anymore & the answer is pretty simple, Suhana doesn’t love/like Imtiyaz so there’s nothing that he would do would make her or her feelings change but then, in the middle of this for the first time I felt Imtiyaz was the one who was suffering. Yes, at first I did find him selfish but then like he said he always wanted to know if she was happy, at least he tried finding out about it before marriage & continued to find answer to this concern of his after his marriage too but since Suhana is so difficult, his simplest of methods, simplest of questions are being dissed & his confusion makes sense because he on his own is doing everything for her but it’s just not enough!

The writer here is trying to show that if someone is not in love, they can not lead a happy married life but then, Suhana is completely unreasonable because no one, absolutely no one forced her into this marriage & she herself was the one who took one for the team to protect them from Istikhara’s Badshaghuni, so if there’s someone she should be angry at, it is Suhana herself. She should blame herself first before blaming anyone. To be honest, I don’t feel a thing for her character nor do I find her or her struggles relate-able because as clichéd as it may sound but Imtiyaz has turned out to be a loving husband whereas Rameez not only betrayed her but he ditched her too, called her a gold digger, created a scene at her home, misbehaved with her mother, but still if she sees ‘him’ as an ideal man than by all means she can just jump off the roof & the viewers would be rejoicing, cheering & hooting because she is coming across as a psychopath!

I must say, I am ready to forgive Shehroz’s choice of T-shirt in this episode because of his dialogue ‘mai sir tor doonga’ which he used for Suhana’s mother, hahah! I laughed out loud at that moment & completely agreed with him because that entire scenario was so bizarre. First off, Suhana stuffed things up, she herself clearly told Imtiyaz that she isn’t happy because this wasn’t a love marriage & then immediately started posing as a toddler in front of her mother saying that she had ‘no’ idea why Imtiyaz was behaving differently, like she covered herself up & put the entire blame on Imtiyaz saying that he has grown suspicious, without even holding herself accountable for the bizarre behavior that she has portrayed ever since she has gotten married. So, anyways, she stuffed things up, like Suhana knows how to create a scene but when she had to make amends & had to fix things, she started acting like a fish out of the water, totally clueless like a child about what she should do & spoke to her mother & that mother, as weird as her name is, took the entire matter in another direction. It is so amusing that where Talat has ZERO control over her own princess-like daughter, she thinks she can control someone like Rameez who misbehaved with her right on her face? That entire scenario was so bizarre but the only best thing about it were the reactions of Rameez & his mother where they literally insulted Talat & treated her with disrespect because that is what she deserves. Not that I am a fan of his character of I am advocating him, but Rameez has given a complete closure to Suhana’s chapter, so it was absolutely unreasonable of Talat to even assume that he can harm Suhana’s already damaged, broken & imperfect relationship! It would’ve been so much better if in stead of speaking to Rameez’s mother, Talat had spoken to Suhana & had told her about the consequences that she would face. It’s like Talat herself doesn’t want Suhana to come to a complete closure about Rameez’s chapter, that is why she rekindled this done & dusted affair so that Suhana doesn’t forget about him! I swear, Talat is turning out to be one of the worst mothers I have seen on-screen, like anything that this woman says or do makes me cringe!!!

Imtiyaz tried to reason with Suhana & found out that she doesn’t love him, even then he seemed justified because he nullified Suhana’s theory of love missing from this relationship because if not from her side, there’s love in this marriage from his side at least. Well, it is quite obvious that the salty cousin, whatever her name is, is going to replace Suhana in Imtiyaz’s life but it is funny how she looks like a dog stuck with a bone because every single conversation that has taken place between Imtiyaz & her, has only revolved around how Suhana snatched Imtiyaz; the bone away from her? Like seriously girl, wearing a coat doesn’t make you look professional, your attitude needs to be professional as well, like who discusses family matters & incomplete un-knotted ‘rishtas’ at workplace? That salty cousin legit seems unhappy that she couldn’t bag Imtiyaz’s proposal, like gurl, get a life!

Along with Suhana, her atittude, everything about her, another thing that I found absolutely weird was her dialogue where she said ‘meri dost ne to khudh kushi bhi karne ki koshish ki thi’, like what sort of dialogues are these? In every other episode you find such dialogues that make you question writer’s mentality & sensibility. Seriously in this day & age are you promoting suicide as some kind of standard which people try to reach in order to prove their love? I wish the writer had understood that with the pen used for scripts, comes a greater responsibility too but oh well, chaat masala conversations leave quite an impression!

I must say this Jeena’s character is quite annoying, like seriously doesn’t she have anything better to do than to speak about Suhana in front of Rameez & vice versa? She seems obsessed & if she thinks she is coming across as a well-wisher then please someone borrow a pin & burst her bubble because she looks absolutely aimless & lifeless. It was so bizarre that she went through the pain of arranging a meeting with Suhana to inform her of what her mother did, like she could’ve just spoken to her over the phone. Then her claim that ‘Rameez aik bohat acha larka hai’, like excuse me? Appse kiss ne poocha? Weird!

Anyways, this episode had its weird moments because it wouldn’t be Teri Raza without such scenarios but other than that, I found Imtiyaz’s side of the story pretty decent & relate-able. Suhana’s character is a pain to watch & Sanam Baloch’s forlorn face is not helping either. Shehroz Sazbwari gets full points for that one dialogue that he said about another most annoying character Talat. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Teri Raza!

Oh well, before even discussing this entire episode, I would like to talk about the note at which this episode ended; Suhana being distressed that the chef served Omlette & Ghee-clad Parathas for the breakfast & it was such a big deal & such a suspense provoker that the director decided to stop rolling the cameras for this episode, thinking people would be thrilled to see how this breakfast would turn out to be next week? LOL! I mean seriously, in the times when we get dramas that are exploring social issues, that are exploring new genres, we have been offered this drama where Chaat Masala ends up being a point of discussion. I must commend the writer for her creativity & the producers for literally wasting their money on a script like this!!!

So, this episode was all about Suhana & her roni boothi (forlorn face), yes, I won’t be sugarcoating because that’s what dramas & characters like these do to me. Paa Mmtyaz heard Suhana’s beautiful opinion about him & he was so hurt that he chose to discuss it with his mother like a teenager. Seriously, I still can’t wrap my heard around the fact that what was Imtiyaz thinking when he chose to get married to Suhana? Like he was wise enough to know that she is a girl half his age, so her priorities, her lifestyle, her routine, her likes & her dislikes are going to be completely opposite to his, so how did he expect her to become a ‘buddhi rooh’ like him that too in the beginning of the marriage when girls are on top of the world usually & enjoy the new routine so much?

I also wonder why did Imtiyaz get married? Like did he get married to get over with the boredom in his life? Or did he get married to have his wife placed as a show-piece in his house so that everyone knows that he owns that sort of showpiece too? Imtiyaz’s emphasis on work-load was so forced, like seriously, no matter how much of a workoholic you are, when you get married, even you get excited & plan things/activities beforehand with your wife-to-be. What was the point of showing Imtiyaz as such a well-established & financially sound man when he couldn’t even take a day off after his marriage to give his wife some time to adjust to their new life?

Finally, Imtiyaz let Suhana know that the reason why he chose to sleep on a sofa in the study was because he overheard her & that was the reason why Suhana felt she needed to do chores like fill the water glass for him at night to compensate? Seriously? As much as I see the problems with Imtiyaz’s forced innocence at the age of 40, I see just as many problems with Suhana too. Yes, they are showing that they both are incompatible but then again, it brings me to my point again that there was no reason for this marriage to happen. Suhana chose to go for this marriage to avoid Badshaghuni but isn’t she realizing that obsessing over her badtameez ex-boyfriend after her marriage is a bigger Badshaghuni too? Sporting a roni boothi throughout the day is another bigger Badshaghuni that can even tick the viewers off? Seriously at one point I was so frustrated with her expressions that I chose to forward her scenes! Also, what’s with the besharmi where she is openly saying that ‘Rameez mere dil mai hai’, ‘Suhana Rameez ki hai’ seriously? That guy literally called you a gold-digger & still believes in that & you’re crying over not being able to be with him?

Oh well, the writer here is showing how issues can be created over non-issues. Sleeping routines, Andas, Omlettes, Chaat Masalas, TV Shows & then Dressing, all these things can cause irreparable dent in your marriage which is only going to lead you to divorce. Seriously? There’s a limit to fooling viewers & there’s a limit to insulting the intelligence of the viewers as well. I laughed out loud when Suhana showed up in a Kurti & Jeans after being told that it was a corporate dinner, whereas in the scene where Imtiyaz told her about it, she was dressed perfectly for the occasion, but like I said, the writer is taking pride in turning the non-issues into issues, therefore that scene had to be added. Throughout the episode, Suhana was dressed as a newly wedded girl but the moment her husband tells her that they are going out for a dinner, she decides to pull out the university student in her? LOL!

So, the salty cousin is working with Imtiyaz & since she is so obsessed with Suhana, she can’t stop talking (read low-key badmouthing) about her. I am sure she is still salty that Suhana got married to the Budhi Rooh Pa Mmtyaz but I am sure she got the job in his office for a reason because later when Suhana & Imtiyaz will part ways, she will fill in the blank in Mmtyaz’s life. Oh the story is so new, so unique, so fresh, so unpredictable, it excites me to no end! Please share your thoughts about this episode of Teri Raza & do let me know if you guys have found out the purpose of this drama, like I still am trying to find out what the writer was thinking & what was she trying to convey!

Ohkay so, I am going to ask a very serious & important question ke writer ne kya kha ke Suhana ka character likha tha? I mean seriously, one can only say Tauba after seeing what this psychotic character is upto!

When I saw Suhana shedding tears I felt like throwing a punch on her face. She used to cry before, saying that her parents weren’t treating Rameez & Co. with respect, fine & now when her parents invited them over for dinner & treated them like a family, Suhana was again crying for a new set of reasons that she doesn’t want to go back, like seriously??? Does she even know how to be happy? Rameez was her so called happiness for which she forsake everything but now just because she has realized that Rameez was not an ideal & financially loaded man, the writer is giving her a clean chit, for what? Just because she has realized & apologized???

I think now that we have such weirdly named dramas like ‘Naseebon Jali’, ‘Mai Ma Nahi Banna Chahti’, no one would have batted an eyelid if the writer had named this drama as ‘Shadi Aik Gudda Guddi Ka Khel’, at least that would’ve made things crystal clear as to what the viewers should expect before tuning to this drama because this is exactly how Suhana is treating her marriage(s)!

Uf! This was the same father Suhana kicked out of her life because he called out on Rameez but now Suhana is like sticking to him, because she knows that only he is the one who can give her a luxury-laden life? If Suhana had known that her family wasn’t financially sound, she would have thought a million times before making a decision of leaving Rameez. No matter what her reasons are but she is acting like a typical rich spoiled brat who knows no matter what, she can do whatever she wants as her father is there.

It is amusing that now when Suhana has assessed Rameez & she has seen that he can’t even achieve an iota of wealth that Imtiyaz or Zafar have, she is now seeing him as a big mistake? Is she for real? When did Suhana Bibi become so practical that she decided to put everything before her feeling of ‘love’ for which she literally ruined everyone’s life & happiness!?!?! Suhana says she is sorry & does she really think that is going to be an excuse enough for another stuffed up marriage? LOL! I guess she was so adamant to have Rameez Badtameez respected, that she forgot to bring out the best in him & patiently teach him how to be responsible!

Seema & Jeena both need to get a life. They act like bunch of sore insecure losers who are obsessed with Suhana but then again, since the writer here is giving Suhana a clean chit every single time, no wonder why both Seema & Jeena are paranoid & dread that Suhana might come as a tsunami & wipe away their happiness!

I think if the writer really wants to convey a right message by showing what happens if someone goes against the Will of Allah, she should give Suhana a miserable ending where everyone else around is happy & settled & she is the one sulking alone, but I am pretty sure this won’t be happening as now the writer will show that by committing Halala, Suhana finally accepted Allah’s Raza after trying, testing & failing at her own raza. Seriously, hideousness just touched a sky! Please share your thoughts about this episode of Teri Raza & I wish both Shehroz & especially Sanam had used their vocal chords miserly because their high pitched voices are intolerable!

Ohkay so, yet another ridiculous episode filled with filler situations. I really do not understand why this drama hasn’t ended yet? Or are they aiming for 30+ episodes? The story (if there was one) has been going around in circles & everyone’s fixation with Suhana is bizarre. I still do not understand what the writer is trying to convey here!?!

It is absurd that every single time Suhana lets Rameez fool her? She is shown to be someone who is quite mature & analytical (supposedly), so why can’t she see that Rameez is a good-for-nothing who can only take loans to make her happy? Suhana cried a bucket & immediately Rameez arranged funds for her boutique, so why didn’t she even bother finding out how did he do so?

Seema closed the chapter of Suhana from her & Imtiyaz’s life, so what was the need to tell Jeena to invest in Suhana’s business? Jeena who got rejected by Rameez & insulted by Suhana time & again decided to help Suhana of all the people? If she had so much spare money, she could’ve invested it in a more lucrative business in stead of Suhana’s which is basically running on donations!

The way Suhana speaks about HER boutique as if she invested her money in it & ran the show without anyone’s help makes me laugh a lot. She really is delusional I must say. Time & again she gets taunted by Rameez yet she believes in him, but then it serves her right. I must say, the way the writer has shown zero growth in all these characters is something. The drama is about to end but Rameez stays good for nothing till now. Suhana stays a bechari & Imtiyaz stays andha. Commendable isn’t it?

I must say the writer should never take a pen in her hand & attempt writing again if this is what she has come up with. I am sure this is going to turn into Halala story only to show that Suhana finally accepted & chose Allah’s raza over her own raza which is Imtiyaz over Rameez. Please don’t tell me the writer is trying to justify Halala here & glorifying it by showing that if your second marriage doesn’t work, you always have an option of going back to your ex-husband? It is sickening that the writer is showing Suhana as a victim who is now suffering so much due to her wrong decision & in the end she will have a happy ending with Imtiyaz, without paying for all the wrongs that she has done. It is ridiculously cheap & petty!!! Anyways, the only best thing that happened in this episode was Rameez’s mother’s comment about Suhana, that she is a zehni mareez, couldn’t agree more!

Another week, another ridiculous episode of Teri Raza. I must say the character of Suhana really makes you question writer’s sensibility & mentality, matlab kamal ka dheet character likha hai wo bhi itna anokha!

Just because Seema held her ground, she convinced everyone that things had to change which was good & also expected from a woman of Seema’s stature who is groomed, educated, sensible & most importantly respects herself & knows her rights, unlike certain someone who thinks the entire world revolves around her & everyone has to take care of her whiney existence. It was good that Sitara also convinced Imtiyaz & he gave in!

LOL! Just a single notice from Imtiyaz was enough for Suhana to declare him as the worst human being alive, why? Because he stopped pampering her, lol! Talk about being selfish to the core. Just few days back she saw him as the best person on the entire planet even better than her own father because he was taking care of her kharcha pani & when he decided to draw a line & stop spoonfeeding her, she started seeing him as a culprit.

I just don’t understand what Suhana’s issue with her father is? She actually wants him to give everything to her in a golden platter that too on her terms & conditions? For someone who has absolutely nothing & has done nothing in her life, has achieved literally nothing, she has quite a bit ego!

Imtiyaz’s fixation with empowering (read babysitting) Suhana is beyond me. Not sure if he will be able to keep his promise with Seema this time around too. Also, does Jeena has any life of her own or she just hovers around Rameez to taunt him? Anyways, please share your thoughts about this episode of Teri Raza.

Ohkay so, to be honest, I enjoyed this episode for a weird reason & that was because Suhana was getting bashed from every side. I loved how Suhana was getting exposed & on top of that she was being mistreated by Rameez but then again, the writer has made her this royalty who can get away with everything that is why, the punishment that she was getting had less or no impact!

Suhana claimed that she was not in contact with Imtiyaz, but did she really think people are going to buy that since she runs a business owned & financed by him? I literally cringed so hard the moment Suhana called & cried in front of Imtiyaz? Why is it that the oh so Khud-dar Suhana only now cries in front of Imtiyaz because she knows that he will take care of her financial burdens? It was just so typical of her to call & shed a few tears saying Seema was insulting her? If Suhana had an ounce of dignity or respect, she would have kept things to herself & had tried taking care of the business on her own. Just because Suhana knows she has Imtiyaz’s support, she thinks no one is entitled to say anything to her, not even her father! It is amusing that Suhana didn’t mind estranging her father because she got another Godfather who now deems her as his responsibility!

The writer is now trying to present Suhana as a damsel in distress because Rameez is totally different to what she expected him to be but then again, that is her own fault isn’t it, because she very well knew what sort of an irresponsible person Rameez was, so why did she get married to him expecting him to change? It is funny, Suhana was unhappy with Imtiyaz even after he was taking care of everything that she ever wanted & now she is again unhappy with the man of her dreams because he is not what she expected him to be & he isn’t changing? To be honest, when I see her mother in law scheming with Rameez so that Suhana keeps on working makes me think it definitely serves her right!

Imtiyaz really should have known better. It was sad that Suhana ended up ruining Seema & Imtiyaz’s relationship once again & what’s bizarre was that she chose to play innocent saying she had no idea why Imtiyaz took such a decision, like really? Seema did the right thing by barging into her home & insulting her because this is exactly what she deserves but unfortunately, Suhana is beizzati proof! Talat leaves me speechless, she insults Suhana & then scurries back to pacify her, no wonder why Suhana is so messed up, because her parents failed at parenting!

The preview of the next episode was filled with cringe alerts too. Suhana will once again come face to face with her father, seriously? We are done with Suhana’s mohim of seeking izzat for her good-for-nothing spouse jiss ki wo khud izzat nahi karti. Also, in the preview Suhana was heard saying ‘Imtiyaz ne mujhe chora, tum to mujhe nahi choro ge na’, seriously? Is she really implying that Imtiyaz was disloyal & not sincere with her? Is she using that card to play the victim again? Has she actually forgotten that she created a havoc in Imtiyaz’s life & cheated on him because of which he set her free basically doing her a favor so that she can be with Rameez but oh well, what can be expected from such a conceited, arrogant & selfish character.

Ohkay so, not that it had any purpose when it began but still, the recent turn of events are making it look like the writer herself got confused midway as to what she was trying to prove or convey, that is why everything that has been happening now isn’t making much sense to be honest!

I think in stead of naming this drama as Teri Raza, the writer should have gone for Suhana Ki Raza, because even though everything has happened according to her wish, she still finds a way to whinge about one thing or the other! First, Suhana was unhappy with Imtiyaz, she got rid of him & got married to Rameez; now she is unhappy with him too but just because she can not admit it due to her big ego, she is now unhappy with her father for reasons best known to the writer. When Suhana got married to Rameez, she was mad at her parents that they are not concerned about her, but later when they did some gestures out of sheer concern for their daughter, she still found a reason to be mad at them? Seriously, I fancied the notion when Suhana told Imtiyaz that she should die because such an unreasonably unhappy soul would find solace that way!

Oh yes, Suhana repeatedly said that she has started to understand a few things, which obviously are related to Rameez & his attitude but then, if she is mad & unhappy, it doesn’t mean she can use her parents as punching bags because things didn’t go according as per her liking! I feel happy everytime I see Rameez mistreating her because this is what she deserves. Suhana cries about the fact that everyone thinks she is the culprit but then why doesn’t she feel bad when she blames her parents for every single thing that has gone wrong in her life?

Imtiyaz is still stuck in the past, that is why he makes sure to let Suhana know that he is still there for her. I cringe when I now see Suhana confiding in Imtiyaz as he understands her, because if that’s the case then why didn’t she develop any understanding when she was actually married to him?

It was good that Seema tried to show Suhana a mirror but then she is someone who doesn’t believe in seeing her own faults, that’s why she chose to ignore everything that Seema said. Also, it is so irritating that Suhana uses her relationship with Imtiyaz as something to boast about because in order to put Seema down, she made sure to remind her that she was once married to Imtiyaz!?!?! This girl is in literal sense messed up. Also, another thing that Suhana was unhappy about was Imtiyaz & Seema’s engagement. She reminds me of those spoiled teenagers who think the entire universe revolves around them & when their bubble is burst they throw a hissy fit & Suhana is exactly doing the same! Anyways, please share your thoughts about this episode of Teri Raza!

PS: Does anyone know when this drama ends?

Seriously, where has the story of this drama gone to? It is so obvious that the makers of Teri Raza are so not in a mood to end it that is why they are adding one hideous scenario after another to just churn out more & more episodes.

Where the focus should be on Suhana & the makers should be hurrying up in giving closure to her track, they shifted the entire focus on Talat, Zafar & Daadi as if the viewers were going to be thrilled seeing their story? When the side characters start taking more screen time, that’s when you know the writer has nothing left to show.

Talat met Suhana despite being told not to by her husband Zafar. Where Talat fixed her matters with Suhana, she ended up getting the threat of divorce by her husband? It is so amusing how these guys behave so dramatically over things only to later forget what they said before.

To be honest, seeing Daadi behaving like a lunatic actually scared me because I had a feeling that all the viewers of Teri Raza including me might end up like her, clueless & lunatic if this drama wouldn’t end in the near future. I am sure since Daadi is bored, has nothing to do & is quirky, she came up with a plan to act like this, in order to make Zafar realize that he can’t live without Talat, but then again, can anyone tell me, what is the purpose of all this?

Imtiyaz is still not over Suhana, so if this is how he was going to behave then what was the point of divorcing her? Well, for the first time Suhana felt that she ruined her relationship with Imtiyaz after she saw how much her mother was concerned even after her father threatened her with divorce, but then again it is going to be of no use since Suhana’s ego is too big to admit that she committed a huge blunder by getting married to Rameez.

It is funny how Suhana’s life has become a lie, she lied to her mother saying her husband makes a lot of money whereas in reality, all he does is play games on his phone! Seema’s concerns are valid & she is justified in feeling awkward about the way Imtiyaz is still not over Suhana & how he is still taking care of her expenses? Suhana really sounds like a hypocrite when she speaks about ‘khud-dari’ because if she would have been khud-dar, she wouldn’t have shamelessly accepted financial support from Imtiyaz, her ex-husband, the one she resented & despised! Anyways, please share your thoughts about this episode of Teri Raza.

Another week, another ridiculous episode of Teri Raza. I must say it is absolutely necessary for the writer to explain her mind set, her thought process in regards to Suhana’s character, like what was she trying to achieve by showing a character like her? So many episodes have passed & the purpose of this story remains a mystery!

Suhana is one such person who no matter what, finds a way to remain unhappy. When she herself chose to get married to Imtiyaz, she degraded everyone around her & blamed them for her unhappiness but now when she got married to the love of her life, I thought she’d be over the moon but that wasn’t the case. Suhana fought this entire case for the sake of her own happiness so now when she got what she wanted, why was she so upset? It seems Suhana sees her parents as punching bag, that is why now again she was blaming them for not paying much attention to her? Suhana knew that getting married to Rameez would cause a dent in her relation with her parents so why is she expecting so much? Suhana is someone who wants to be everyone’s center of attention & since that is not happening, she is again upset?

I really do not understand what the writer is trying to establish by showing ex spouses in contact with one another? Suhana couldn’t connect with Imtiyaz when she was married to him & now he’s the first person who pops in her mind whenever she feels like venting out? Looks like the writer doesn’t know a basic phenomenon called ‘moving on’, which is what people do when they end a relationship. Chalo, at first they showed that both Imtiyaz & Suhana spoke by accident but then later Imtiyaz knew that Suhana hurt her foot? Who told him that? & why? Definitely it was Suhana who did it, so again why? Now when she is married to Rameez, he is all she ever wanted so why is there a space in her life to connect with Imtiyaz? What for? Also, it is such a shame to see Suhana shamelessly using the car that her ex-husband gifted her & making the money over the business which he sponsored for her!?!?! When this girl has everything going for her then why is she not happy???

Rameez & even his mother think that Suhana shouldn’t cut ties with her parents & their motive is very clear, it is only because they know that Suhana comes from an affluent family & her parents are financially sound so they don’t want to miss the opportunity of getting any kind of advantages because of that!

I thought Suhana’s parents would be yearning for her & she’d be too busy living her dream life with Rameez but that wasn’t the case as she was acting all salty that her parents estranged her? Suhana is a nightmare & I loved when all of her apprehensions were proven wrong by Manzura when she informed Suhana that Rameez took her parents’ help in paying the hospital bills. It is good that now Suhana’s negative energies will be redirected towards Rameez & her parents will be spared because they never were at fault in the first place. Yes, Suhana’s parents are worst written characters too but at least they are not at fault, that is why I am siding with them because I feel they do not deserve what Suhana is putting them through.

I still can not get over the fact that Sanam Baloch chose such a negative character to make a come back? I have started finding Sanam Baloch irritating because of her image as Suhana. Anyways, please share your thoughts about this episode of Teri Raza & oh don’t forget to wish Suhana good luck as she has to count garlic cloves & green chillies everyday (serves her right)!

Ohkay so, I am not sure what’s worse, the direction or the editing, or both? Seriously nothing in this episode was making sense because not even a single scene was in continuity with the preceding one & it was making Suhana look even worse than she is! Anyways, when the story on the whole doesn’t make sense then what’s the point!

To be honest the intial scene where Talat & Zafar were acting like newly weds was the most awkward scene I have seen till date. It literally made me say ‘paglon ka tola’, & as if that wasn’t enough that Talat had to wear a purple lipstick as if she had snake venom for brekkie that day, like seriously what was the whole point of that scene & then Rameez had the audacity to show up? LOL! Kal tak to Talat & Zafar couldn’t stand the sight of Suhana & now they were dancing to her tunes & were dressing up for some fancy dress competition? Haha!

In one scene Suhana had no shame in planning her dream honeymoon with Rameez but in the very next scene she was actually burnt that Imtiyaz got engaged to Seema? Is she even for real? She goes like ‘ye dekho Imtiyaz ke kartoot’ so what does she think of her own kartoot where she was having an extra marital affair while still playing the hubby wifey game with Imtiyaz & even faking a pregnancy? I totally believe that anyone in their right state of mind would never be able to conceive a character like Suhana, so it speaks a lot about the writer’s mentality, also not sure what was Sanam Baloch thinking when she chose to play Suhana?

The fact that Suhana in stead of seeing her faults sees herself as a victim makes her character even more detestable than it might be. Rameez was always a loser who even accused her of being a gold-digger & now again, he thashed her character saying may be she wanted 2 men in her life & she was still alright with it, so much so that she decided to do baghawat for Rameez who doesn’t wear tameez ki kameez!!!

The whole scenario where Imtiyaz was walking aimlessly like a zombie didn’t make any sense, matlab Paa Mmtyaz kal tak to mangni kar ke theek the, aj kya hua? Please don’t tell me this is going to be another Halala story where the ultimate roti surat, ultimate nashukri Suhana will now realize that Imtiyaz was a better husband than Rameez, so she will go back to him because the precap of the next episode hinted on those lines. What a piece of crap I swear. Please share your thoughts!

PS: I wish I could give it a 0 star!

Ohkay so, if there is one word that can describe this entire episode, it would be awkward. Every single person in this episode was making every other person awkward. All the situations, all the scenarios were awkward but what’s funny is that the writer has tried to turn every awkward thing into something absolutely normal, which is again awkward!

I don’t really understand what the writer is trying to suggest by showing an ex husband & wife being over friendly with each other? It is like she is trying to normalize a divorce by showcasing that you can always be ‘friends’ with your ex-spouse? It is like the writer is suggesting that you don’t have to worry about making a marriage work because even if it won’t you will be fine being friends with your ex? Also, the worst thing about this drama is that all those people who aren’t supposed to be in touch with each other are always in contact? When Suhana was married to Imtiyaz, everyone starting from her Abba to Amma to Kaam Wali to Suhana herself, all of them were in contact with Rameez’s family & now again, when Suhana has happily moved out of Imtiyaz’s life, her psychotic kumba is in contact with both Sitara & Imtiyaz? What for? The entire focus on Samaan was so bizarre, again it was used as a petty excuse to keep them all in touch with eachother, something that the writer has been doing right from the beginning! First Suhana told Imtiyaz that Talat was calling him for Samaan. Then Zafar told Sitara that he didn’t need Samaan & again someone asked/told someone about Samaan but by that time I was so tired of this Samaan that I didn’t bother paying attention to it. The point is, since Suhana was being ‘friends’ with Imtiyaz, she could’ve directly asked him for her Samaan!?!?! & oh yes Mr. & Mrs. Faarigh (read Zafar & Talat) also spoke about Samaan!

Ugh! Suhana & Rameez’s cheesy romance was sickening. All this while, Suhana played the victim but now she was sitting there shamelessly, designing her future home with a guy jiss ki ammi usay kitchen mai dekhte hi kehti hain ‘1 paisa nahi doongi’. Seriously, can Rameez afford a Ding Dong Bubble for himself that he was going on & on & on in front of Suhana about the house that he will build for her? Bachay pehle apne pairon pe kharay to ho ja! Chalo, this is Rameez, he is like that but what’s wrong with Suhana? How is she going to settle for a loser like him & most importantly why? The mere ‘love factor’ has been overdone by the writer here that only on the basis of LOU, Suhana forsake her marriage & is now flirting with him, wearing an extra white foundation & unflattering orange lipstick?

Well, since Seema has called her dibs on Imtiyaz, she subtly told Suhana that she should move on, as she knows that it would be like a last nail in the coffin & Imtiyaz wouldn’t be left with any reason to cling onto Suhana & her memories. Well, I loved how Sitara ignored Talat when they came across each other at Seema’s place. Everytime Talat gets insulted, I do an imaginary happy dance because such an unreasonable character deserves all of that! Anyways, please share your thoughts about this episode of Teri Raza & oh the preview of the next episode seemed so bizarre, at one hand Rameez has told his mom that he is only going to get married to Suhana & on the other he is telling her to do an Istikhara? Accha, if Istikhara doesn’t show this relation to be favorable for them both, will Rameez leave Suhana? LOL!

Ohkay so, with this episode of Teri Raza, the story made quite a lot of progress but I am not too convinced with how things rolled. I feel the characters have been written with such clumsiness that you just can not form a definite opinion about them. Apart from Imtiyaz, every other character behaves irrationally especially the main lead Suhana, which makes it impossible for you to like anything about her.

I must say Talat should pat herself on her back after what she has done. Rameez had Suhana out of his sight, out of his mind but just because Talat instigated the entire scenario, Suhana got the chance to tell him that he still means so much to her & after that Rameez was thinking about Suhana too. It is amusing that Talat keeps on saying that she feels tensed ever since Suhana has gotten married because according to her Suhana is doing everything to ruin her marriage but then I guess someone needs to give her a reality check that it is not Suhana but Talat herself who makes sure to do everything which will drift Suhana & Imtiyaz apart. This woman is a piece of work I swear & I just can not stand her as a motherly character because she is an insult to all the mothers out there!

Imtiyaz has done so much for Suhana & her consistency at finding faults in him or his gestures is praiseworthy. I found it amusing that Suhana started off by saying she wants to do a job & then told everyone that she wants to own a business. I was waiting for her to show up her forlorn face & felt relieved when she did because it wouldn’t be Suhana without her typical roni shakal. It is amusing that Suhana could use her husband’s money to finance her business but she didn’t appreciate his effort with which he made it possible for her to get the model to showcase her dress? Suhana is like that spoiled brat who wants everyone to do everything that she wants but for others she would never budge because hey, she’s spoiled & that’s all there’s to her personality!

Let’s talk about the most awkward scenario in the history of Pakistani dramas – yes, I am talking about Paa Mmtyaz’s BUDDAY scene. Seriously, after Suhana was done confessing her feelings to Rameez for like a millionth time, after eavesdropping like a typical aunty, she remembered she had a husband to attend to as well, therefore she arranged a birthday surprise for him to keep everything smooth & running in her life. I mean it is sickening but seeing Suhana taking care of both her marital life & then her long-died affair made me uncomfortable. This girl needs to learn about a thing called transperancy but oh well, like everyone said, she lives in her own bubble!

I know I am not a fan of Jeena’s character but she for once made sense & did the right thing by knocking some sense into Suhana as well. It is amusing that Suhana claimed Imtiyaz loves her therefore he would never cheat on her, while completely forgetting how she takes him for granted & how she is still cheating on him by having Rameez in her heart. Like Suhana grew uncomfortable the moment Jeena tried to tell her that Seema seems far too comfortable with Imtiyaz but she never for once thought about how she was treating her husband. Suhana is like that immature child who doesn’t know how to own her mistakes & she thinks everything is just perfect because she turns a blind eye to her wrongdoings!

I must say, Seema needs to find a hobby for herself because her availability for Imtiyaz even at the late hours is a joke. Seema seems far more concerned for Imtiyaz as if in stead of Suhana, she is married to Imtiyaz. Seema is another insane character in this insane lot because even she is still stuck on the fact that Suhana tried to get her & Imtiyaz hitched but now when it hasn’t happened, she still feels she has some kind of authority over Imtiyaz. The showdown between the two ladies over Imtiyaz was quite funny. I wonder why every-time Seema’s car breaks down or every-time she has an emergency, she chooses Imtiyaz to play the role of her chauffeur. Anyways, looks like both Imtiyaz & Suhana are expecting a child & Daadi is still going to survive to see her great grandchild’s Rukhsati too, since this is how her heart works!

I know Sanam Baloch gives her 100% to her characters & it is good to see her dedication but literally not keeping a track of sweaty upper-lip or sliva in her mouth is a bit too much. Talat’s character & Shaheen Khan’s acting, both are out of order. I found it amusing how Talat was trying to ignore what Seema was trying to say about Suhana & her weird approach towards her marriage, not that it is Seema’s business but still she had a point. I think in stead of blaming Suhana for her immaturity, Talat should blame herself for a faulty upbringing but I love how every single character in this drama doesn’t believe in owning their mistakes & that is the reason why Talat is so aloof to how she has raised a little monster called Suhana! Anyways, please share your thoughts about this all-over-the-place episode of Teri Raza & oh can I take a moment to talk about the precap of next episode? Suhana crying buckets over Jeena & Rameez’s engagement & trying to prove something by saying that Jeena didn’t care for Rameez as much as she did when he went missing, like seriously? A pregnant married woman crying over her ex-boyfriend’s engagement with her class-fellow is beyond ridiculous!
