HUM finally decided to air a new episode of Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua after two weeks, the kind of treatment this drama has been given by the channel has been appalling and now I am seriously wondering what is the reason behind it. It is almost as if there is a conscious attempt to put the viewers off. I am not saying that this drama is a commercial hit but we have seen many dramas which were not commercial hits being treated with more professionalism than this one. Changing the time slot of the drama was bad enough but not airing it for two weeks in a row has to be some kind of a record especially because the time slot was given to award shows which could have gone on air any day of the week!!
This episode opened with Lubna and Siraj Uncle talking about how they felt about broken hearts and dreams. This conversation, like many other conversations tonight was interesting and meaningful. Rehan Sheikh is absolutely adorable as Siraj Uncle, I find his “obsession” with making sure that every person with a broken heart gets happiness or love in some form or the other extremely interesting. Rehan Sheikh shares on screen chemistry with all the actors he has shared screen space with in this drama. Hajra Yamin’s acting style is natural as well and she makes Lubna’s character likeable. It is refreshing watching a play with female characters which have different personalities and are nothing like the kind of characters we see in our dramas.
Tonight’s episode mainly covered everyone’s reaction to Tipu’s attempt to “help” Zoya and Maya’s attitude towards her family after they supported Tipu. Zoya was the only person who came to Maya’s rescue ultimately even though Maya did not give her a warm welcome but Zoya wanted Maya to go back to Faris maybe to see if that is what Maya needed to satisfy her ego. Maya hasn’t changed at all, everything that Tipu did made her even more stubborn. She has been shown as someone who never pauses to think about her own actions but is continuously pointing out how everyone around her has betrayed her. Maya and Baila’s conversation was the highlight of this episode, Baila has always been honest and outspoken about everything Maya has done so far and this time around too she tried to make Maya realize that she also made some terrible decisions because of which she is in this situation. Most importantly she told Maya how wrong her assumptions about her family members were. Ayeza Khan’s performance has been absolutely brilliant throughout and I really appreciate the fact that she is experimenting with new roles now. Imran Ashraf is another versatile actor who nails every single role he chooses to play.
Maya and Zoya’s confrontation could have been far more interesting and powerful if Noor Khan’s performance wasn’t so average. Her expressions and dialogue delivery can be really misleading most of the times. The last scene of this episode and the preview of the next one suggested that Faris might have fallen in love with Lubna now, I really hope that the viewers are being mislead into thinking that since at this point adding such a twist to the story would be unnecessary. Having said that, I have complete faith in the writer and the director since Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua has been appealing in its own unique manner so far and it has never disappointed those of us who are enjoying watching these intricate relationships and complicated personalities on screen for more than 20 episodes now.

This episode yet again belonged to all those talented actors who have made this drama a treat to watch and also the director of this show who has left no stone unturned to translate a difficult script effectively on screen. Tipu’s character could have been a huge miss had it not been translated on screen exceptionally well by Imran Ashraf. Tipu has some serious issues because of the way he was brought up but right now he knows exactly what he wants and he will do anything to make sure that Zoya and Faris end up together. Tipu knew that this marriage could never take place unless Maya was out of the way. Maya’s reaction to everything Tipu did in this episode was also right on point. Someone like her wasn’t going to allow Tipu to dictate to her therefore she did everything in her power to intimidate him. The hatred in Maya’s eyes whenever she talked to Tipu clearly showed that she wasn’t going to let Tipu have his way easily.
I have to say that watching Tipu drag Maya out of her house in front of her parents was unpleasant and I couldn’t help but wonder how all her family members including Zoya be so selfish. Even though Maya isn’t a likeable person and she never considered her family’s feelings while making all her decisions but even then somehow I have always felt for her. Even though she has been extremely callous and thankless especially when it comes to her relationships but even then her character doesn’t have a negative streak. She comes across as someone who is gullible and naïve and not someone who is negative. Ayeza Khan has been faultless as Maya throughout but her performance tonight was absolutely brilliant. Maya went through a great deal in this episode therefore translating her feelings on screen wasn’t an easy task but Ayeza Khan translated Maya’s shock, over confidence, fear and anger impeccably on screen. Her styling and make-up too has been picture perfect in this drama, it is great to see her experimenting both with her looks as well as the kind of characters she has been playing lately. There was a time when she was continuously playing roles which were very similar to one another and didn’t have a lot of room for performance but that is not the case now.
Lubna’s dialogues in tonight’s episode were somewhat misleading. Faris is gradually welcoming her in his home but her real friendship right now is with Uncle Siraj more than Faris. I am waiting to find out Uncle Siraj’s background story since his character has always been intriguing. Sami Khan and Rehan Sheikh have been performing superbly right from the get-go. Although both of them are exceptionally talented actors but I have never liked them more in any other drama. Their roles are challenging because their characters are neither one-dimensional nor are they simple therefore both these actors got an opportunity to prove their mettle and they made the most of it.
It was good to see someone giving Maya a reality check. She finally realized that Faris might not take her back once she took a divorce from Tipu but she had a lot more to deal with once she found out that getting the divorce wasn’t going to be easy. The fact that Maya never paused to think about this particular aspect of her decision goes to show how impulsive she is. She never thought things through when she left Faris for Saif and this time around too she made such a big decision in haste.
The preview of the next episode suggested that Zoya and Faris will get Zoya’s father’s blessings. I am waiting to hear why Maya’s father allowed Tipu to do all this to his daughter. Is he trying to make up for all those times when he didn’t give Zoya the love and attention she deserved because it upset Maya? The story took an interesting turn with this episode and I can’t wait to find out what happens next!
This was yet another episode of Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua which had quite a few interesting conversations to its credit. For the first time however I want the drama to pick up pace especially because of the fact that we know absolutely nothing about Siraj Uncle’s background. The way the writer is making the viewers wait certainly suggests that he has a big surprise in store. Gradually the mystery surrounding Tipu’s character is being revealed, his intentions at this point are quite clear. Although Tipu has the most unusual way of looking out for the people he loves but even then one can clearly see that he is incapable of harming anyone. Even though he tricked Maya into entering in a nikkah with him but he has all the qualities of an anti-hero. One of the finest aspects of Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar’s scripts is that there are plenty of surprises in store right till the end! The characters never reveal themselves quickly which keeps the viewers guessing. Also, some characters which seem somewhat unimportant can at some point play a role which turns the main tracks around. Tipu’s character is one such addition in this play, he keeps you guessing and wondering. Although his stepmother treated him badly when he was a kid but tonight he could not even see her moving out of the house, this showed that Tipu wasn’t as negative a person as he wants people to believe he is! Imran Ashraf owns his role completely, he brings out the different shades in Tipu’s personality brilliantly on screen.
Faris’ reaction when Lubna said she had decided to move in with him was surprising. He wasn’t upset only because he lost the bet but it looked like he wasn’t eager to have Lubna around him all the time. He made it clear to Siraj Uncle in the previous episode that he was in love with Zoya and could never feel that way about Lubna. In this episode, when Lubna went to give him coffee, his response was really rude. The rose and thorns scene seemed like a “warning” too. I am waiting to find out why he is so upset with this latest development. Although Faris didn’t get a lot of screen time in tonight’s episode but Sami Khan made his presence felt in all the scenes. Faris is another person who is full of surprises, sometimes he is a complete gentleman and at other times he totally shuts people out without thinking about their feelings.
Lubna and Siraj Uncle at this point are more close to each other than Faris and Lubna. Their connection is heart-warming and their conversations meaningful and interesting. It looks like Lubna has finally moved on, for the first time before making a major decision, she didn’t think about how Saif would react if he finds out that she was living in Faris’ house. Ultimately it was Siraj Uncle who convinced her to take this decision.
The revelation that Tipu took permission from Maya’s father before entering into a nikkah with her was yet another surprise. I had been waiting to see Zoya and Maya in the same frame but their scene together in this episode was a little too short. Also, the fact that Maya didn’t get in touch with Faris again is rather odd. How can she be so sure that he will welcome her back in his life once Tipu divorces her? The preview of the next episode showed Maya finding out about Tipu’s actual intentions.
Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua has been directed superbly throughout, the director Shahid Shafat has done everything he could to give this drama a different feel and he has succeeded in giving this script the right treatment. This drama also has some amazing performances to its credit. However, the drama needs to pick up pace now so that the story can be concluded in the next 4 episodes or so.

This episode belonged to Sami Khan all the way and also to Shahid Shafat, the director who has given this script the kind of treatment which highlights the beauty in the dialogues. Unlike the actors in Mohabbat Tumse Nafrat Hei (MTSNH), all the actors in this drama so far are acting naturally instead of speaking like philosophers who are always thinking deep thoughts! Sami Khan’s dialogue delivery and body language was beyond impressive in tonight’s episode. I think Khalil-ur-Rehman’s dialogues should be delivered in a certain manner otherwise they lose their impact and can also sound like sermons! Also, the fact that the director has been kind enough to keep all these situations subtle, although they are far more complicated and serious than in MTSNH, definitely helps.
The pace of the drama is going to be slow, just like most of us anticipated but hopefully this time around the story, the direction and the performances are going to be way better. The divorce is not likely to take place anytime soon and after watching tonight’s episode, I really don’t mind waiting since I can’t help but feel for Faris’ character. Even after everything Maya did to him, he is still willing to forgive and forget given she apologizes or comes back to him. The previous episode did not really do justice to Faris’ state of mind but this one focused entirely on how he actually felt as opposed to pretending that he wasn’t the least bit effected by this whole situation. Faris wants a final goodbye if nothing else before he gives Maya a divorce. He wants to feel once more what it was like sharing his life with Maya. All the scenes which covered Faris’ state of mind were a treat to watch. I really like how the writer has shown that everyone else around Maya is deeply upset because of her decision while she is completely happy with it. Although Maya’s character isn’t likeable but I like the way Ayeza Khan translated it on screen in these two episodes. This time around I also felt like Maya was emotionally vulnerable when it came to Saif and not really clever. Zoya’s meeting with Faris was also very well directed and acted out which is why there were some parts of it which were touching although it had the potential of being over-dramatic. Khalil-ur-Rehman’s excessive use of pronouns also did not stick out like a sore thumb in this episode because of the way these dialogues were delivered.
This episode had plenty of meaningful and interesting conversations to its credit. Dania and Siraj Uncle’s conversation about Dania’s “role” once Faris gets divorced was one such conversation. Dania isn’t one of those desperate women who will wait for a man to get divorced so that she can get married to him. Her character has substance and Mansha Pasha has done complete justice to it till now. Although, Dania loves Faris but she has accepted the fact that they will never be anything more than good friends. Tipu seems to be interested in Zoya because he got jealous when she said that she was very close to Faris.
We still don’t know Faris’ background story and his relationship with Siraj Uncle but I really like the way this character has been portrayed by Sami Khan. Saif did not get a lot of screen time in this episode therefore his character too is still a mystery. The preview of the next episode was intriguing especially the new information about Saif. I have to say that I enjoyed watching this episode and am definitely looking forward to the next one. This episode also gave me Bunty I Love You vibes because of the dialogues and the variety in characters. The characters are complex yet intriguing.
I highly recommend this episode to all those people who like Khalil-ur-Rehman’s meaningful conversations and powerful dialogues.

This episode of Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua had some important developments to its credit. Although the pace of this drama is slow but like many other dramas written by Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar the screenplay and the characterizations keep your interest alive. The fact that the director Shahid Shafat has executed this script brilliantly right from the get-go gives it an edge. Every episode unveils something new about the characters and at the same time leaves some kind of a mystery. Unlike many other dramas nowadays which entice the viewers with a few fast-paced episodes in the opening weeks and have absolutely nothing to offer after 13 weeks or so, this drama has constantly been on track and there have been hardly any filler episodes. With every episode the story moves forward, there has been continuous character development and for the most part it has been unpredictable as well.
All the characters in the play have definite personality traits and some of them share an emotional bond which has been appealing right from the first episode. Faris and Siraj Uncle’s relationship right now is holding my interest more than any other. However, Tipu is the most intriguing character in the play right now. Faris’ love for Zoya and Zoya’s feelings for Faris though are difficult to connect to at this point but I am glad that Faris has finally moved on and he admitted that he loves Zoya. One of the reasons for this is that Noor Khan’s portrayal of Zoya has been quite average therefore one can’t help but wonder why a man like Faris would fall for someone like Zoya and not someone like Darya or even Lubna. Zoya has to be the least appealing of all the leading ladies in this drama so far therefore I am waiting to find out why Faris fell for her. It is however quite clear now that he is never going back to Maya which basically goes to show that Maya made yet another impulsive decision which she will regret later on. Ayeza Khan and Sami Khan have been faultless throughout; their portrayals have been picture perfect and their performances award-worthy.
I have to say that right now Siraj Uncle and Tipu are the stars of the show. Since the last two weeks or so especially, these two actors have nailed their roles completely and their characters are getting more interesting with every passing episode. Imran Ashraf’s body language, expressions and dialogue delivery was brilliant throughout today although his scenes were quite demanding. One of Tipu’s dialogues tonight suggested that he was referring to Maya as the snake and he was helping Zoya climb the ladder by trapping the “snake”. All of these conversations were filled with different emotions and they were deep and meaningful. Zoya’s reactions and dialogues were interesting but Noor Khan’s acting wasn’t up to the mark. Rehan Sheikh is one of my favorite actors and it is a treat watching him play this role. I hope that we will find out more about Siraj Uncle’s background and his relationship with Saif at some point too.
Saif and Maya’s scenes together made me hate Saif’s character even more. Zahid Ahmed’s acting in this episode however was much better than the previous few episodes. Lubna’s conversation with Maya was one of the best conversations in this episode not only because of the way she told Maya off but also because she openly told her that she was never going to fall in love with Faris. Also, this scene was directed brilliantly because Faris’ reaction was also shown.
I am glad Maya’s father will finally make an appearance in the next episode because so much has happened and the viewers have not been shown how he feels about everything. The preview of the next episode was really enticing, it promised some new surprises and I am waiting to see what these surprises would be.

The relationship between most of the characters got even more complicated in tonight’s episode but the most interesting element of this play so far is that even after all these weeks some of the characters are still mysterious and all of them are extremely unpredictable. Although Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua is bold and unusual in more ways than one but the overall feel of this drama is such that it continues to hold my interest and every episode gives me a reason to look forward to more. After this episode, there is only one single woman in this play who hasn’t shown her interest in Faris, all the other women including Maya’s own sister have fallen for Faris one by one! Faris is a likeable man and has a charming personality but it would have been so much better if Lubna did not feel this attraction towards him. Although Siraj Uncle’s conversation with Lubna last week laid down the foundation for the turn this relationship took in this episode but even then watching another woman feeling that way about Faris was more comical than anything else! Although I like Lubna’s character and the manner in which it has been translated on screen a lot but if Faris also starts feeling something more for her, I would feel even more for Dariya since she deserved to be with Faris more than anyone else.
Zoya and Maya didn’t have any scenes together in this episode, I was looking forward to a conversation of some sort between these two after the developments in the previous episode and whatever happened in this episode as well. I have to say that Tipu’s character is turning out to be really interesting, the viewers have absolutely no idea what to expect from him. The way he insulted Zoya showed that he was more sure than ever now that Zoya loved Faris therefore there was no hope that she will ever feel that way about him therefore he showed his true colors. Tipu wants revenge now more than anything else, he clearly told Zoya that Maya will never be able to get married to Faris again but how will that help him? I am waiting to find out. Tipu had a new found confidence today, he has definitely thought everything through. It is however impossible to figure out what is going on in his mind.
Lubna’s interactions with Faris and Siraj Uncle’s role in the entire situation reminds me of Dariya’s track. The change in Lubna’s personality in the past few episodes has been interesting and likeable. Although most of the characters in this play are unconventional but there are plenty of them which are likeable as well. Maya’s conversation with Lubna once again showed that Maya still thinks that she has the right to feel possessive about Faris. The preview of the next episode showed that after the kind of reaction she got from Lubna, she will turn to Saif for help. Maya will do anything to get married to Faris again perhaps because she is sure that even though he did not invite her back in his life, he still loves her!
Overall, this was another episode of Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua which was brilliantly directed; every single scene of this drama has been executed flawlessly from the background score to the locations, everything is right on point. Some of the developments in this episode did not work for me but I truly appreciate the brilliant performances by Imran Ashraf, Hajra Yamin, Ayeza Khan, Rehan Sheikh and Sami Khan in tonight’s episode. Their superb portrayals have definitely elevated the level of this drama.

“Bewafau ko wafadari ka tana de kr rokne wale taqatwar nahi hote.”There was a great deal of emphasis on bewafai in this episode and I especially liked the way Siraj uncle explained how sometimes being “friends” was a convenient option for men who didn’t want to make a commitment but also wanted a woman to be a part of their lives. The viewers also saw a different side of Lubna’s character in this episode which was quite likeable. Although Dariya’s character was special in its own way but Lubna too seems like someone who has a lot in common with Faris and she is also someone who has learned to be strong. Both Faris and Lubna know what it feels like to love someone who does not give you their hundred percent and they also know how it feels like to be cheated. Just like every other episode of Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua this one too was directed brilliantly. Hajra Yamin played her role really well especially tonight even though there were so many dialogues which were rather tricky but she nailed every single one of them. The manner in which Lubna asked Faris if she could be his friend was also refreshing and cute. The pause after her request was also timed perfectly.
All of a sudden Saif is more interested in Lubna than he ever was before perhaps because he knows that she is no longer dying to be with him. Saif’s friend’s dialogues about Karma and how ultimately everyone pays for cheating on someone who loved them truly were few of the best dialogues in this episode. Zoya’s reaction was surprising and it showed that she did feel attracted towards Faris if nothing else. Tipu’s character has taken an interesting turn, his expressions when the court marriage was taking place and later on clearly indicated that he had a bigger plan in his mind. He wasn’t doing this only to make Zoya jealous and to make sure that Faris and Maya get back together, I am waiting to find out what exactly he is planning. Maya’s character is completely different from all the other female characters in the play. She isn’t strong or assertive and she keeps on making wrong decisions. Why has she assumed that Faris will accept her when she goes back to him? A lot of what Maya does is a reaction of what is happening around her or she lets other people talk her into taking the most extreme steps. Imran Ashraf played his role exceptionally well in tonight’s episode. Tipu is the perfect meesna!
This episode had so many meaningful and powerful scenes to its credit. Lubna, Saif and Faris’ scene, Siraj Uncle’s emotional conversation with Lubna and whatever Saif’s friend said to him were few such conversations which were brilliantly written. I also really liked how Faris explained why he didn’t stop Maya. There were a lot of dialogues in tonight’s episode which also pointed out the double standards in our society when it came to men and women’s priorities and actions while they are in a relationship with someone. I truly appreciate the fact that the writer has written about those aspects of relationships which are usually brushed under the carpet in our dramas because they are considered too bold or unusual therefore they don’t always click with the masses. We need a drama like Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua every now and then which does not sugarcoat anything. Rehan Sheikh and Sami Khan’s scenes together are always a treat to watch. Both these actors are phenomenal performers and they share an amazing on-screen chemistry. We still don’t know much about Siraj Uncle’s background or even his relationship with Faris.
The director Shahid Shafat has directed every single episode of this drama flawlessly. The locations, camera angles and the background score give Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua a different and more appealing feel.

Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua continues to be unpredictable, unusual and intriguing but it isn’t the same without Dariya. Dariya and Faris’ relationship as well as their interactions were the highlight of every single episode. Their on-screen chemistry and the way these characters were translated on screen made their scenes a treat to watch and I must say that even though Sami Khan was brilliant as usual but nothing can beat the magic Faris and Dariya’s scenes created on screen. Although Dariya kept on saying that she couldn’t stay forever but even then I was hoping that she will stay in the picture somehow.
This episode covered Lubna and Faris’ interactions and by the end of the episode Faris found out that Lubna and Saif were engaged. This entire development was shown superbly. Faris noticed Lubna’s reaction when Saif hit Faris’ car and he knew instantly that she knew him. Later on the resignation and most importantly everything that Lubna said to Faris about Saif getting away with taking Maya away from him is going to be the reason why this time around Faris will not let Saif decide how things run in his office or life! Lubna, like every other girl Faris meets, seemed to like Faris instantly – her conversation with Baila said a great deal about what she thought about Faris. The fact that even with all his flaws Faris is a charming man makes it easy for the viewers to understand why it is impossible for someone to not like him! Lubna is the only woman Saif has ever been serious about therefore now there is a way for Faris to take revenge from this man however so far, Faris has been shown as someone who does not believe in playing games therefore whatever he does, he will probably do it genuinely to help Lubna and not just because he wants to teach Saif a lesson!
Maya’s mother’s dialogues were the most meaningful as well as powerful dialogues in this episode. Although Farah Shah tends to go overboard at times and I do not like the way she delivers her dialogues but even then those dialogues showed that this woman knew her daughters only too well. She already had a feeling that Maya was about to do something outrageous to get Faris back therefore in her own way she tried to warn her. Although Maya thinks she is very intelligent but the fact is that she is constantly letting other people make her decisions for her. Tipu might appear to be a simple person but he is actually much more clever than Maya, he knows how to play with people’s feelings and how to use a situation to his advantage. It is great watching Imran Ashraf playing roles in different drama which are poles apart. He is a remarkable actor who is versatile as well. Ayeza Khan’s makeover in this drama is right on point and she has given a flawless performance throughout. Maya’s character however isn’t as strong or appealing as that of Dariya’s or even Baila’s character. Rehan Sheikh is also an exceptional actor who always gives a solid performance. No one could have played Uncle Siraj’s role with more finesse than him.
This episode had some remarkable performances, powerful dialogues and interesting scenarios to its credit. Just like every other episode of Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua this one too was directed brilliantly. I am waiting to see Faris and Saif face to face and hoping that we will get to see Dariya soon!

Like every other episode of Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua, this one too was a visual treat right from the get-go. Although the situations in this drama are completely bizarre at the moment and it is almost as if all these characters are letting their ego get the best of them but even then the treatment given to this drama is so brilliant that you enjoy watching every single scene and can’t help but look forward to finding out what exactly is going on in everyone’s mind. Khalil-ur-Rehman’s writing style is such that he keeps the viewers wondering about the actual feelings of the characters and he makes it really difficult for the viewers to guess whether a character is taking revenge or he or she actually is in love. The fact that it didn’t take Faris a lot of time to “get over” Dariya as he started pursuing Zoya immediately after she left, went to show that indeed Dariya really did know Faris better than anyone else. Dariya’s character has always been my favorite and the reasons she gave for not staying for longer made me like her character even more. Dariya did not want to wait for the day when Faris would fall in love with her because she knew that such a day will never come therefore even Siraj uncle’s “threats” did not work when he tried to stop her. Now that Dariya is out of the picture, it seems like Faris wants Zoya to share his emotional burden with him.
Since Zoya’s parents told her why Maya disliked her so much therefore it could be another reason why all of a sudden Zoya is actually considering this proposal. This had to be the most bizarre situation I have ever seen in a Pakistani drama yet it has been translated on screen so well that it intrigues you more than it creeps you out (for obvious reasons). The credit for this goes entirely to the director and all the actors involved. This script could have been a complete disaster in the hands of a director who didn’t understand it so well. Everything has been written so boldly that it needed to be underplayed on screen otherwise it would have appeared to be over-dramatic and annoying.
The turn Tipu’s character took had to be the most shocking of all developments in tonight’s episode. The manner in which Tipu and Maya’s meeting was covered was absolutely faultless. Imran Ashraf and Ayeza Khan’s impressive performances coupled with those witty dialogues made this one of the best scenes of this episode. Maya clearly looks down upon Tipu, she thinks he is beneath her – her expressions said it all – yet she was willing to strike this deal with him. I am wondering how a woman like her who has such a big ego can do so much to go back to Faris. I feel that the main motivation right now isn’t just love but also the fact that Faris and Zoya might get married if she doesn’t take an extreme step to pave way for another nikkah.
Sami Khan’s performance in this play has been faultless throughout, he looks great, has acted brilliantly and has made Faris’ character likeable even though the character itself doesn’t always have a lot going for him! Rehan Sheikh is another actor who always does complete justice to every role he plays. Saif was completely missing from this episode and I must say that I didn’t miss him one bit! In fact this episode was one of the best episodes of Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua because the focus was entirely on Faris, Zoya and Maya.
Shahid Shafat definitely deserves an award for making this difficult script come to life on screen in such a way that you are forced to give each episode your undivided attention. Beautiful visuals, phenomenal performances, powerful dialogues, impressive makeovers and creative direction make this drama an artistic piece of work! Loved watching this drama for 15 weeks and looking forward to how the story unfolds from here on.

Dariya and Faris yet again stole the show tonight. Although they only had one scene together in this episode but that particular scene was the perfect example of sizzling on-screen chemistry and faultless dialogue delivery as well as flawless timing! That was the kind of scene which deserves be watched over and over again. The perfect camera work and background score added to the beauty of this entire episode. The director Shahid Shafat deserves an award for his creativity and impressive direction. This episode had some amazing dialogues to its credit as well. Faris and Dariya’s dialogues in particular reflected their thought processes in a beautiful manner. However, I don’t understand why there was mention of halala in this episode since the divorce isn’t final just yet. This particular development reminded me of Zara Yaad Kar.
“Tumse jo mohabbat hei, vo tumhare jane ke baad mari nahi, vo apne zinda rehne ka jawaz dhoond rahi hei aur dhoondne mei waqt lagta hei.” This episode opened with Faris telling Maya that going back to being husband and wife wasn’t going to be as simple as Maya thought it would be. Ayeza Khan and Sami Khan’s acting in this scene was absolutely brilliant. Ayeza Khan translated Maya’s feelings impeccably on screen through her expressions and Sami Khan showed just how angry Faris was but that did not mean that he was not going to be a “gentleman”! This was the perfect opening to an episode which had tons of emotions and moments which made you wonder where the story was going to go from here. There were also many dialogues in tonight’s episode which showed how keenly the writer had observed few aspects of relationships and falling in and out of love. Faris has been looking for closure since the time Maya walked out on him but every time he said that he was over Maya and was eager to move on with life, he was clearly lying. This time around too although he said that he was waiting for Maya to ask for forgiveness and now that she had done that he could finally move on, later on however he said that he wanted one final meeting with Maya. Every time he gets a call from Maya, he attends it and the fact that no meeting or conversation actually is the last one suggests that he can’t just forget her and move on with life.
Dariya now is also agitated with Faris’ state of mind especially because he isn’t letting her leave therefore this short time frame given to him was an attempt to make him see that he wasn’t ready for this. Mansha Pasha has been phenomenal as Dariya, the timing of her dialogue delivery was superb in this episode. The way the dialogue “tum bhi bilkul nahi badlay” was uttered was beyond amazing. Maya and Zoya once again talked about their relationship and for now it seemed like everything between them was alright. Ayeza Khan is playing the older sister who isn’t perfect but tends to get sentimental every now and then quite well. Maya’s mother finally decided to go and get her daughter and this time around Maya knew she had to go back home. Even now I am finding it really hard to keep my interest in Saif’s character alive.
The preview of the next episode promised many more complications and I am hoping that things don’t get too ugly. Will Faris be able to stop Dariya? If yes then how? What does Zoya feel for Faris and why was Tipu proposing to Maya? Could it be a joke or is he taking “revenge”? I am waiting to find out!

When it comes to penning down love stories which are so much more than just that, no one can beat Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar. Like every other drama penned down by him TDKKH too is unpredictable and in many ways bold as well. The relationships between all the characters are anything but simple and these complications keep on getting even more confusing with every passing episode. Faris’ character in particular is highly intriguing; it is impossible to guess how he actually feels about all the women in his life right now. His proposal to Zoya was completely unexpected and it seemed like nothing more than another desperate attempt to get back at Maya but Zoya’s reaction had to be the most interesting part of this entire scenario. The most interesting bit was that Zoya just learned why Maya never loved her the way a sister should be loved, that definitely changed a lot of things. The stories about sibling rivalry explained a lot and might also have given Zoya a reason to do something to hurt Maya. Also, their background also explained Maya’s reaction in the previous episode when she saw Faris with Zoya. The only part that was difficult to relate to was that Zoya did not remember any of this. If she was old enough to tell her father that she did well in the exam then she should have had some recollection of those memories unless like her mother said, she decided to store those memories away in her mind.
Lubna’s track is also being given a lot of screen time in these episodes which goes to show that she has a bigger role to play in the picture. Saif was more amused than angry when he got the parcel from Lubna which basically showed that she was another woman in his life for whom he didn’t really care much. Siraj Uncle continued to play cupid and failed at it over and over again yet he didn’t give up! Gradually, Dariya is showing how she actually feels about this entire situation. In tonight’s episode, she clearly stated why getting married to Faris was never an option. The fact that Dariya is convinced that Maya isn’t really out of Faris’ life suggests that Faris still loves her. He is angry and hurt but he might eventually forgive Maya. Dariya is the only person who understands Faris therefore if she is sure that Maya can come back into his life any time then that might just happen!
My favorite scene from tonight’s episode was the last one; the meeting between Faris and Maya was an absolute delight to watch. Faris told Maya how everything had changed after she left but he wasn’t looking for sympathy when he told her that, it was more like making someone aware of their wrongdoings and the repercussions. He also tried to take control of the situation yet again by telling her that they will only meet when it would suit him and that could even mean that they will never meet again. This aspect of Faris’ personality is so relatable; I love the way he is constantly trying to show that he is in control of things when clearly he isn’t! Sami Khan never ceases to impress as Faris, Ayeza Khan continues to translate Maya’s character impeccably on screen and most importantly the director Shahid Shafat has made sure that these beautifully etched-out characters do not get lost in translation. The background score of the drama is also beyond impressive.
The preview of the next episode definitely piqued my interest. I am looking forward to finding out if Faris can really tell Maya that he is getting married to Dariya!

“Janti ho mohabbat bari self-regulated hoti hei, wo logo ke sath wohi salook krti hei jo log us ke saath krte hei.”
This drama actually has a spellbinding effect; the beautiful dialogues and the overall feel of this play is simply fascinating. TDKKH is the kind of drama which requires your full attention and you can only enjoy watching it when there are absolutely no distractions! It is very rare that such flawed characters appear so appealing on screen and you can’t help but connect to them. My favorite part of this episode was the way Faris’ feelings were translated on screen. Even now, he has not been able to “hate” Maya or move on although he keeps on saying that he will never allow her to come back into his life, the fact is that even today he would forgive her if she tried hard enough. Faris’ proposal to Zoya it seemed was yet another attempt to get back to Maya for what she did to him. Right now, I feel that even if Faris tried he could not cheat on Maya because he is still in love with her. There were a lot of dialogues in tonight’s episode which suggested that he was waiting for her to come back but obviously it wasn’t easy for him to forgive and forget. Even now Faris wants to hurt Maya in some way but at the same time he does not want to lose her. Sami Khan’s brilliant portrayal of a man who can’t get over the betrayal and at the same time cannot seem to let go of the person who betrayed him couldn’t have been more impressive. His dialogue delivery has been brilliant throughout although some of the dialogues are very tricky and could have come across as over-dramatic if they weren’t delivered in such a subtle yet impactful manner.
I have said this so many times before but after watching every new episode of this play I feel the need to say this again – Dariya is beyond amazing!! She is one-of-a-kind and Mansha Pasha has definitely given this character the edge it needed to win the viewers over completely. Dariya is practical, intelligent, sensitive, outspoken and loving. Sami Khan and Mansha Pasha’s on screen chemistry and the way these scenes have been directed makes me look forward to their scenes. The way Dariya gave Faris an honest answer was a treat to watch. Although she does not approve of Faris’ feelings for Maya but at the same time she does not let that effect their friendship. She has never complained to Faris and she has never even once made him feel like he owes her something more than what they already have. Dariya is a far more strong person than Faris and even Maya.
Maya’s track took an interesting turn with this episode. Now that she is over Saif, she wants to go back to Faris but her ego won’t allow her to approach him and ask for forgiveness, the way she should. For the first time Maya cried in tonight’s episode when she saw Zoya with Faris – a reaction which showed how she felt about Zoya. Even though so far the viewers have seen Zoya looking out for Maya but apparently Maya hates her sister and there is more to the story. I am eagerly waiting to find out more about this track. Ayeza Khan gave a solid performance in this episode as well and Hajra Khan is also faultless as Baila.
Saif also revealed a little bit about his background story and his plans for the future in this episode. He is aiming for something much more than what appeared on the surface and the reason for that probably has to do with his history with Siraj Uncle. This track too is getting more interesting now. Although I am glad that it isn’t getting a lot of screen time.
Just like all the other episodes of TDKKH, this one too was beautifully written, directed and acted out. The person responsible for styling and make-up has also done a really good job. The preview of the next episode looked very interesting – really looking forward to Faris and Maya’s meeting in the next episode!

The treatment given to this amazing script by the director Shahid Shafat has made this drama one-of-a-kind. It isn’t very often that we get to see dramas on our channels which are shot and written in such a unique manner. TDKKH has an artistic feel to it; it is slow-paced yet appealing. Watching this drama is like reading a novel, the slow pace of the drama and the manner in which it has been directed allows you to savor all the wonderful moments. I can’t praise Shahid Shafat enough for doing complete justice to the script because had he not done so it could have been a complete disaster! Mansha Pasha and Sami Khan stole the show yet again! Dariya and Faris are two beautifully etched-out characters which you can easily fall in love with really quickly. Their interactions are a treat to watch and are always the highlight of every single episode. Dariya and Faris have their own weaknesses which make their characters even more appealing and easy to connect to. Their honesty as well as their confusions add more layers to their characters.
Dariya’s character in particular is like a breath of fresh air. We are watching a female character like hers for the first time on screen. She is confident but she is not batameez – in our drama most often confident also means the girl goes around telling everyone off! She loves someone who has friend zoned her but she never once has been shown feeling sorry for herself. Also, she has made it clear multiple times that she will never beg Faris for his love. I absolutely loved the dialogue about internship, this is the kind of confidence which makes Dariya’s character one of the best female characters we have seen in Pakistani dramas. She is modern, confident, kind, loving, straightforward, practical, well-educated and extremely likeable. Siraj Uncle and Dariya’s scenes are always directed and acted out so well too. It is great watching Rehan Sheikh excelling in another wonderful role.
Maya finally decided to call her mother and apparently the divorce is not final yet so she still has the option of going back to Faris. Although Faris said that he hated Maya now but that just sounded like something he did not really mean. Maya has been shown as an egoistic girl who would much rather break than bend therefore I am waiting to find out what her next move will be since she will probably not go back to Faris either unless he asks her to come back to him. Ayeza Khan in particular gave a brilliant performance tonight. Her expressions were beyond impressive in all the scenes.
Faris and Zoya’s relationship is equally interesting and also one which keeps you guessing. Is Maya the reason why they are so close to each other or is there some underlying attraction between these two? The way Zoya hung up when Faris told her how he carried her to the hospital suggested something like that and Faris also proposed to Zoya once. Even though he did so because at that time he was desperately trying to get a closure but the preview of the next episode also suggested that he will say something to that effect again to her.
Thankfully, Saif is not being given a lot of screen time lately! His track is more appealing if it does not get a lot of screen time otherwise Zahid Ahmed’s acting tends to disappoint. Overall, tonight’s episode was yet another brilliant episode of a drama which is proving to be unique and entertaining.

I am terribly disappointed with HUM, moving a drama like TDKKH to 9pm slot and replacing it with a cliché-ridden play like Tumhari Marium was a terribly unfair decision. While I understand that a drama like TDKKH cannot possibly be a commercial hit but while allotting or moving these slots the channel should also keep into consideration the quality of a drama and the amount of effort which the entire team has put into it. TDKKH is unusual but definitely worthy of a good slot! I am certain, I am not the only one who feels this way since there are many other viewers who can clearly see that TDKKH has some major strengths.
These 10 episodes of TDKKH have been beyond amazing. Every single conversation and the entire feel of the play is brand new. This has to be one of the most beautifully written plays which is filled with deep and meaningful dialogues. The director and the actors have translated all the scenarios on screen impeccably. Just like every other episode of TDKKH, this one too had a special surprise in store. The previous episode already suggested that Maya was regretting her decision of leaving someone like Faris who loved and respected her for a crook like Saif. This episode ended with Maya admitting that she had made the biggest mistake of her life and she loved Faris more today than she ever did. I had absolutely no trouble connecting to everything Maya was going through since this change of heart did not occur overnight. It took a man like Saif to make her realize what a gem Faris was. I absolutely love the way the tables have been turned. Not very long ago Faris was the one who was desperate to have Maya back and now Maya wants to go back to him. Different scenes in this episode suggested that Faris was getting closer to Dariya; it seemed like he was more emotionally dependent on her now than ever and he needs her in his life although he does not want to get married to her just yet. Like Uncle Siraj said, in the end the person who cheats pays the price for it and not the person who has been wronged.
Although almost all the characters in this drama are appealing in their own way but Faris and Dariya’s characters as well as the relationship between these two has to be the highlight of every episode. Sami Khan and Mansha Pasha’s on screen chemistry coupled with their brilliant performances make their scenes a treat to watch. Both these characters have so many different shades to their personalities and all of them are equally appealing. Also, the fact that even with all their niceness, they are still really strong people makes them even more likeable. Maya’s character has been etched-out brilliantly too and Ayeza Khan has breathed life into this character in such a way that even with all her flaws you can’t help but feel for Maya. She comes across as someone who is naive and gullible as opposed to negative or wicked.
My favorite parts of this episode were Faris’ conversation with Zoya and everything Baila said to Maya after which she admitted that she wanted to go back to Faris. The conversations Lubna, Baila and Maya had and the kind of relationship these women share was also truly refreshing. For a change it is good to see women being there for one another although their circumstances don’t make it easy for them to support each other. Baila has always been the voice of reason; she is wise, practical and outspoken – we don’t get to see women like her in our dramas very often. Lubna too has also been quite honest about her feelings for Saif and also about her views regarding Maya’s situation. It is great to see these women being honest with one another.
Like every other episode of TDKKH, this one too had some impressive dialogues to its credit. My favorite one however was, “Mard ki jaib agr khali bhi ho na tu biwi ki wafadari apni jaib mei daal kr kehta hei k I am the richest man.”
The preview of the next episode was very enticing! Does Faris really hate Maya? Do Dariya and Faris have a future together? I am looking forward to finding out!

The first episode of Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua was a lot like the first episode of Mohabbat Tumse Nafrat Hai since it started with highlighting a major issue between the leading characters instead of introducing them in a normal setting. While starting the drama in such a way can pique the curiosity of the viewers because even after watching the first episode you don’t really find out much about the characters, but at the same time such a beginning makes things complicated right from the start. Even after watching this entire episode the viewers do not really know the background of any of the characters even vaguely and we also don’t know how some of these characters are interrelated. While I am all for keeping the viewers at the edge of their seats but not introducing the characters properly in the first episode does not really serve the said purpose. Yes, I am curious to find out a lot about all these characters but I also feel that there is no need to keep the viewers guessing in this particular way! How is Faris (Sami Khan) related to Siraj Uncle (Rehan Sheikh)? Where are his parents? How are Seemi Pasha and Behroze Sabzwari’s character related to Faris? Basically, these are not the kind of questions that should be in the viewers minds after watching an introductory episode.
This episode opened with Faris (Sami Khan) complaining about the fact that his wife Maya (Ayeza Khan) left the house earlier than he had asked her to. Maya wants a divorce from her husband because she wants to go back to Saif (Zahid Ahmed), who is someone she had a relationship with before getting married but she married Faris because she had broken up with Saif. Uncle Siraj has taught Faris the art of losing well and therefore he is taking this recent development very differently from how any other husband would. He is heart broken and feels used but is pretending to be okay with everything. Maya could not care less about her marriage coming to an end and she is already looking forward to being with Saif. She thinks it is her right to be with the person she loves therefore she does not think she is doing something wrong. Saif came across as someone who won’t go the extra mile for someone. This episode did not reveal much about his character except that he is also romantically involved with Maya and isn’t stopping her from leaving her husband. Maya’s father Namdar Mirza (Usman Peerzada) is a lawyer who is naturally not too happy with his daughter’s decision and decides to talk her out of it but Maya has her mind all made up. Dania (Mansha Pasha) is related to Uncle Siraj and also likes Faris. Maya’s sister (Noor Khan) is very different from her but she knows that there is no point of arguing with Maya.
This entire episode covered the divorce, which is yet to happen. It showed how different characters feel about it and that is how the viewers found out about the central characters in the story. The best thing about this episode was the way it was directed and there was a lot of focus on everyone’s looks. All the characters looked trim and proper, it was quite apparent that the director focused on making the whole experience more visually pleasing for the viewers. However because of the script, just like MTSNH, the scenarios and the characters appeared to be staged as opposed to living and breathing human beings who the viewers could easily relate to. Sami Khan looked good and acted well, Faris was the only character I warmed up to in this episode. Ayeza Khan is once again playing a role which isn’t likeable but this time around she is not all over the place. Maya’s character also appears to be slightly more well defined than Maheen’s. Zahid Ahmed has a definite screen presence but his body language was too calculated in this episode, since we don’t know much about his character therefore it is impossible to guess why he was acting like that.
The preview of the next episode suggested that the divorce will not take place in the upcoming episode and I have a feeling that this is going to be another slow-paced drama. I just hope that it has enough substance to keep the viewers coming back for more.

Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua finally ended tonight and unfortunately this last episode wasn’t as powerful or gratifying as I was hoping it would be. All the mysteries were solved and just like every other ending written by Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar a death changed a great deal but there were certain changes in some of the characters which were sudden and some of the mysteries didn’t interest me one bit. This ending could have been way better if it focused on the main characters alone.
Although I thoroughly enjoyed watching and reviewing this play but after watching this last episode, I am convinced that this ending and the drama as a whole could have been much more powerful if there weren’t so many tracks and characters in it. Saif’s character had an important role to play in the story yet he did not get a lot of screen time and Zahid Ahmed’s performance left a lot to be desired. Another reason why this ending wasn’t really satisfying was that I never really warmed up to Zoya and Faris’ relationship with each other. Dariya and Faris on the other hand had made for each other written all over them. Dariya’s character and Mansha Pasha’s acting too was far more superior than that of Zoya and Noor Khan’s acting was the weakest link in a play which had some amazing performances overall.
The change in Maya’s personality was rather sudden therefore although it was good to see her doing something for someone else for a change but it wasn’t relatable. The dialogues were well written and Ayeza Khan’s performance just like every other episode was right on point but this entire development overall wasn’t convincing. Dariya’s phone call gave hope that she might come back but that didn’t happen and it was sad watching her end up alone. Although, she was always shown as a strong woman who didn’t need a man to save her but even then the fact that she never got married went to show that she loved Faris so much that she couldn’t settle down with any other man. Tipu and Dariya had the most unhappy endings and these two were the best characters in this play.
Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua as a whole was brilliantly executed. The director Shahid Shafat deserves all the credit for making me tune into this drama every week. He made this drama a visual treat. Sami Khan, Mansha Pasha, Rehan Sheikh, Ayeza Khan and Imran Ashraf’s phenomenal performances were another reason why most of the episodes were brilliant even when the story got a little too complicated. This play also had tons of beautiful dialogues which explored the concept of love from a brand new perspective. The first 12 episodes or so had some of the most amazing conversations and kept me hooked. The background score throughout was remarkable and the overall feel of the play was quite unlike other Pakistani dramas yet quite appealing. The person incharge of the styling also deserves tons of appreciation for a job well done.
The channel did not do justice to this drama and it didn’t bag any awards either but for me Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua overall was a winner. Had it been slightly less complicated it would have been even better. This last episode however didn’t work for me overall.
A special thank you to all those wonderful people who read the reviews every week and shared their thoughts here. I really appreciate your feedback.

Hina Altaf literally spoke her heart out when she sat down to talk to Samina Peerza on her show. She did not hold back which is why her interview got an amazing response from the audience. This year on Mother’s day when all the celebrities were paying tribute to their mothers, Hina Altaf got someone’s name tattooed on her arm and said that this was the man who stood by her in the darkest of hours. Hina Altaf also turned the comments off for this post because clearly she did not want to discuss who she was referring to and what this man meant to him. When this picture and Hina’s post was shared on other pages, most people starting speculating that Hina had found her soul mate. Hina did not start talking about him until recently. She talked about him when she was a guest at Sanam Baloch’s show and also when she shared everything about her life at Samina Peerzada’s show. Hina shared that this man was not her romantic interest or a soul mate but he was a doctor. Dr. Alam, is someone who helped Hina come out of a very dark phase of her life. While narrating how she met him and how he impacted her life, Hina said that her friend’s mother used to work for Dr. Alam, that is how she met him. In the beginning Hina was only in contact with him via emails but later on he asked to meet her and that is when Hina’s journey towards a better life started. Hina shared that she was 20 when she met this man and within a few years, he turned her life around. Hina shared that sometimes all you need in your life is a mentor – someone who can guide you in the right direction and give you hope. Hina talked about how Dr. Alam helped her heal by helping her forgive everyone who had hurt her. She said that Dr. Alam had helped a lot of girls like her but he kept his work discreet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=695elLqBSh8&feature=youtu.be&t=1341

Sajal Aly is a beautiful and extraordinarily talented Pakistani actress who is adored by a huge fan following which is in millions. Her dramas Gul E Rana, Yaqeen Ka Safar, Sinf E Aahan and Ishq E Laa got huge success and critical acclaim. Her top-notch acting skills make her distinct among other actresses.
Recently, the actress’ photo with Tasbeeh in hands has stirred a debate. Sajal Aly is wearing a pretty modern and western dress while her hair are styled well but she has a digital tally counter in her hand used as rosary for doing recitation. The fans were quick enough to spot the religious side of the beautiful actress and praised her but a few fans didn’t like it.
Fans said that keeping Tasbeeh in hand and wearing such modern dresses are contradictory because Ibadah has certain protocols to follow. They also debated her latest bold photoshoots with Sheheryar Munawar and questioned the fans about taking her side. Fans said that Ibadan should be done with sheer respect.

Rajab Butt is a renowned Pakistani digital creator and social media influencer who has gained massive recognition due to his controversies and personal life. He has built a loyal fan base across platforms, with over 8 million subscribers on YouTube and around 2.8 million followers on Instagram. The YouTuber often remains in the headlines because of his stunts, and there is hardly a moment of peace in his life. Nowadays, his divorce is being widely discussed, and tarot card reader Lala Rukh has predicted his downfall.
Lala Rukh recently said in a podcast that Rajab Butt is an arrogant man and that he will soon experience a downfall.
Lala Rukh said, “I had already spoken about his decline at the start of this year. Yes, things could have been different if he had reconciled with Emaan, his ex-wife. There is no issue for Emaan; she will eventually move on and get married, and Rajab will also get married again, maybe even more than once. But the main issue is the child whose life has been ruined by Rajab. This man doesn’t believe in God. He knows everything, but he doesn’t accept Allah’s orders. He divorced his wife for no reason, saying, ‘I can’t live with a hypocrite,’ but who could be a bigger hypocrite than you? You are not a religious cleric, warrior, or saint. You are a liar, illiterate, money launderer, fraud, and hypocrite who has affairs and speaks like illiterate people. You come up with excuses, saying you divorced her because she accused your mother of stealing perfume. Don’t you know what kind of issues come to me? A lot of things happen in relationships, but people compromise. Did you see any change in him? He hasn’t changed. He still walks arrogantly. His downfall has already started. We have heard how the cruel kings faced their punishments, he will die the same fate”

Comedy is the most difficult genre of entertainment. Making people laugh and smile while you may not even feel like talking is not an easy task and Pakistan has been blessed with some of the best comedians in the world. We have had a whole cluster of artists who used to perform live comedy and people would stand in lines to buy tickets and watch them. One of those great comedians was Tariq Teddy who left this mortal world earlier this year at the mere age of 46 due to several health issues he was facing.
Tariq’s son was given a government job by then Chief Minister of Punjab and the government had finally stepped forward to look after the artist’s family but his two daughters from a previous marriage are still waiting for help.
Tariq Teddy’s divorced wife had two daughters Safa and Marwa and now they are looking forward to some help that they can get after their father’s untimely demise. They were not even able to meet their father in his last das due to the conflict between families and got to know about his death through the media. Here is Tariq’s second family:
The girls are now in need of help. Some social media activists have stepped forward to help them and they are back in school while help for their mother’s job is still being sorted.
Tariq Mateen is a senior Pakistani journalist, anchor & producer with the experience of 17 years in broadcast journalism. He was part of multiple News channels including 24 News HD, where he served as a producer. The host is successfully running his own YouTube channel 722k subscribers and is known for his responsible reporting.
The senior anchor person Tariq Mateen recently lost his 16 years old son Mustafa who fought a long battle with cancer.
Talking about it, Tariq Mateen said, “My son Mustafa passed away. I am deeply grateful to all of you who sent prayers for him. Many of you called, but I couldn’t respond. My son passed away on Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. Mustafa had health issues since birth, although he was leading a normal life. However, on March 9, 2021, his health began to deteriorate. After five days of medical tests, we learned that he was suffering from liver problems. From that point onward, his condition gradually worsened. We were aware of the reality of his illness but never spoke about it—we just prayed. The year 2021 was very difficult for us. We did our best to manage his illness through palliative care, as his condition was too advanced for curative treatment.”
He further added, “We managed his health with medicines, herbal remedies, and continuous prayers. In 2023, he was physically stable, but the illness remained. Unfortunately, in 2024, his health declined again. We consulted many doctors and hakeems and frequently rushed him to hospitals. On Wednesday, we made a decision regarding his treatment, but he passed away soon after. Please remember me, my wife, and my daughters in your prayers.”
Tariq Aziz is a legend of Pakistani media industry. His show Neelam Ghar will always remain a benchmark for all the hosts coming in to join the field. He imparted education and awareness through his program and people loved to watch him on television. HE was also a politician and joined the political field briefly. His wife Hajra Tariq Aziz is a gynaecologist and the couple had immense love and understanding in their marriage.
It was Tariq Sahab’s third death anniversary and journalist Moin Zubair talked to Mrs. Tariq Azzi who revealed some unknown facts about his life. She shared that Tariq Aziz wanted to donate his eyes as well. He has already given away all his property to Pakistan. He had written about his wish to donate eyes in a note which his wife did not know about when he passed away so it could not happen.
She also talked about how supportive he was and never said anything about them not having any kids. She revealed that Tariq Aziz was sceptical about the Islamic parda teachings when the said kid grows up and thus was not convinced to adopt a child. She alos got very emotional while talking about Tariq Sahab and revealed that no one from the state contacted her after Tariq Sahab’s demise.
Tariq Aziz Sahab is a legend. He is the first person to have a live broadcast show in Pakistan and people straightaway fell in love with him. He started his show Neelam Ghar on PTV decades ago and it was a ritual to watch it in every Pakistani home. His show was later renamed to Bazm e Tariq Aziz and is still something you will enjoy if you watch it. Tariq Aziz Sahab is the recipient of Pride of Performance too for his services.
Tariq Aziz Sahab does not have any children and he has announced to give all his belongings and earnings to Pakistan after he dies. The news was broken on social media and people love Tariq Sahab’s patriotism and love for his country. He said that having children or no children is the will of Allah and since he has no kids of his own he would like to give all his earnings for the welfare of his country:
Tariq Sahab has always loved his country and has gain showed his patriotism with this gesture!
With Tariq Aziz’s death yesterday, on the uneventful day of 17th June 2020, Pakistan lost an asset. The veteran host and an occasional actor, Tariq Aziz was a phenomenon in himself.
After Tariq Aziz’s demise, the entire nation mourned the legend that he was, paying their respects to the departed soul and his peaceful final abode.
A video of Tariq Aziz has now gone viral, as his last social presence where the veteran quiz host was seen paying a tribute to the doctors and nurses in Pakistan for fighting the deadly Coronavirus with bravery.
As skilled as he was in reciting poetry Tariq Aziz paid a humble yet a very strong and powerful tribute to the frontline warriors battling coronavirus.
The legend that he was, Tariq Aziz will always be remembered in the best of words by all Pakistanis and we’ll miss hearing “Jaagti ankhain aur suntay kaano ko Tariq Aziz ka salam.
Tariq Amin is one of the OGs of fashion and entertainment as he is a celebrity makeup artist, wardrobe stylist and hairdresser to many big names. He has given fresh looks to many people currently ruling in the industry and he is a maestro of his field. Tariq Amin is friends with everyone in the industry and has a long, illustrious career. He has just rang in his 60th birthday and that too in style.
It was Tariq Amin’s 60th birthday and he had a 60s theme for the party. We spotted Ushna Shah, Hamza Amin, Deepak Perwani, Ali Azmat and others as they celebrated the style maestro’s birthday. It looked like a fun event and a definite idea for others whose birthdays are coming up. Check out some moments below:
Tarannum Naz is a legendary Pakistani ghazal and classical singer, celebrated for her powerful vocals and hit classical PTV songs. She is a formally trained classical singer who was mentored by Ustad Ashiq Hussain and is admired for her iconic resemblance with her teacher and legendary singer Madam Noor Jehan. The senior artist has also received the prestigious Pride of Performance award. Nowadays, Tarannum Naz has stepped away from singing and was recently seen on Zabardast after a very long time.
In the show Zabardast, hosted by Wasi Shah, Tarannum Naz expressed regret over transferring her home to her children.
Talking about it, Tarannum Naz said, “I built my house with my hard-earned money and then transferred its ownership to my children. They were too young, and I also thought that why would they be greedy about the house, and that their property is my property. But when they grew up and got married, they started demanding their share of the inheritance, which I obviously had to give. This is my regret—that I should not have given them their share during my lifetime. I live with them, and they do take care of me, but the reality is that parents’ stature is different when they own property. When the house belonged to them, I realized my mistake. When my children grew up, they wanted their own share in the inheritance.” Watch here:
Tarang is known for its colorful and catchy TVCs which always attract the attention of the viewers. Tarang always introduces new refreshing pairs of actors and actresses in all its commercials. This is not just a commercial but also the OST of the brand titled “Tarngbaaz”. This time the latest Tarang commercial stars Mehwish Hayat, Fahad Mustafa, Javed Sheikh, Saima, Shan & Eman Ali. Fahad Mustafa is paired up with Mehwish Hayat, both of them sport very nice looks. Javed Sheikh and Saima appear after the young couple and Emaan makes her appearance wearing a beautiful white dress and Tiara. Shaan is the last one to appear in the advertisement.
I have always been a big fan of telefilms, if they are made well, they provide perfect entertainment. The fact that the Tarang housefull telefilms were inspired by some of the old classics made me look forward to them and I had very high expectations from almost all these telefilms. Also, all these telefilms had some very big names attached to them, so one couldn’t help but expect a masterpiece. I have to say though that the telefilms I had very high expectations from did not seem up to the mark and others which I thought may not deliver were so much better than my expectations. Here is an overview of all the telefilms, please feel free to share your opinion.
Abhi Tu Mei Jawan Hun:
Writer: Vasay Chaudhry Director: Nadeem Baig Cast: Meekal, Ayesha Khan, Atiqa Odhu, Bushra Ansari, Saba Hameed, Usman Peerzada and others.
Abhi Tu Mei Jawan Hun was very refreshing in every way. It was truly wonderful to see Meekaal do something completely different from what he does usually. Not only that he completely stole the show because of his remarkable acting. All the actors senior and junior shared amazing chemistry. Abhi Tu Mein Jawan Hun is a romantic comedy with quite a few decent and very intelligent jokes to its credit. Vasay Chaudhry’s script is flawless, Nadeem Baig did a spectacular job with the direction and everyone is very well suited for their roles. The song Abhi Tu Mei Jawan Hun has been sung brilliantly and has been shot very well too. Aysha Khan looks great and the lead pair clicked with me instantly, unlike some of the other telefilms where I wasn’t too sure if the lead pair really had any real chemistry.
The telefilm was not just funny but very engaging as well, it kept me glued right from the get go and gave me nothing to complaint about. It was refreshing to see Saba Hameed in a different role as well, Bushra Ansari was her brilliant self as usual and Atiqa Udho fit in perfectly in her character. It isn’t very easy for a relatively new artist to shine amongst such big stars but Meekaal managed to do that almost effortlessly. If you want to watch something that will give you some good laughs then ATMJH is a must watch for you. It has all the right ingredients in the right proportions and gives you nothing to complaint about.
Anjuman:
Writer: Zanjabeel Shah Director: Yasir Nawaz Cast: Imran Abbass, Sara Loren, Ally Khan, Iffat Umar, Sohai Abro and others.
Anjuman was the second telefilm to go on air. I must confess that I wasn’t actually looking forward to watching it and there were no high expectations from the telefilm as well, mainly because of the way it was promoted. I wasn’t much interested in wathcing “the item number of the year” because a good telefilm really should have more to its credit. The only reason I ended up watching Anjuman was because I had nothing better to do. Once I started watching it, there was no forwarding or stopping in between. Anjuman was perfect acting wise; all the actors were simply brilliant. The story was nothing special but some of the dialogues were very touching and had the kind of depth which one can only wish for most of the times. All the characters were superbly etched out and the songs were beautifully sung. Sara Loren, Ally Khan, Iffat Rahim and Sohai Abro were the stars of the show and unfortunately Imran Abbas was the weakest link. The beauty of this film lies in its characterization, acting and definitely the direction. The director turned an ordinary (almost unbelievable) story into something that keeps you glued to your TV screens. Sunidhi Chauhan added a new life to the old songs “Aap Dil Ki Anjuman Mein” and “Dil Dhadkay”.
If you missed Anjuman for some reason, I suggest that you give it a go. It will take you in a world of its own and you will love the ending. I also like and appreciate the message that was put forward through this movie. It is definitely a must-watch.
Dil Mera Dhadkhan Teri:
Writer: Mohammad Ahmed Director: Mehreen Jabbar Cast: Sarwat Gillani, Sanam Saeed, Ahsan Khan, Shamim Hilali and others.
Let me start by saying that I had enormous expectations from this telefilm in particular because I expected nothing short of a masterpiece from a talented writer like Muhammad Ahmed, a gifted director like Mehreen Jabbar and a stellar cast. Unfortunately I was extremely disappointed after watching the telefilm because the story lacked depth and everything seemed rushed. Sarwat Gillani and Ahsan Khan lacked the on-screen chemistry needed to make me relate to their undying love. Sanam Saeed on the other hand made her presence felt and stood out more than anyone else in the telefilm. The song “Rakh Diya Qadmo Mie Dil Nazrana” had a lot of energy but It came and went and I failed to understand the context.
The “twists and turns” in the telefilm weren’t exactly exciting, in fact I kept on waiting for the time when the telefilm will completely keep me hooked but it never came. The characters were not very well established at all; we know that Beenish is the villain and Saira is the victim but that is that. I did not fall in love with Saira’s character; yes she was very cute but that was it. I did not hate Beenish’s character maybe because Sanam Saeed was so well suited for the role or perhaps I just wasn’t given enough time to warm up to the characters or the story. In short DMDT did not work for me at all because I failed to connect to the characters.
Devar Bhabi:
Writer, Director and Producer: Syed Noor Cast: Saima, Sami Khan, Sadia Khan, Saud and others.
I was expecting this telefilm to be very filmi because it has been written, directed and produced by Syed Noor. I have never watched a Pakistani commercial movie so I had no idea what kind of an actress Saima was but I assumed she would be great since she ruled over the industry for a very long time; surely one can’t do that without some good talent (so I thought)!! I wasn’t exactly blown away by Saima’s performance partially because her character had not been etched out properly. The bhabi should have come across as someone very graceful who commanded immediate respect from the audience but that did not happen. All the latkas and jhatkas, the body language and the dialogues as well were over the top and did not fit in at all. I can think of many television actresses who could have done justice to this role.
Sami Khan’s performance was mediocre to say the least, even with all the emotional dialogues, the bhabi dewar jodi failed to move me. Until now, this had to be the telefilm with most number of songs but the songs had an old feel to them. They were very melodious no doubt but they didn’t seem like the 2013 version of a 1960s movie. I found it difficult to sit through most of them because they were too slow and the presentation wasn’t very modern too. Sadia Khan; the heroine, a new actress, didn’t have much of a role to play but whatever acting she didn’t wasn’t actually impressive. Saud and Saima jodi didn’t click with me at all as well.
Overall, this was yet another disappointing telefilm, I have definitely watched better telefilms on many other channels and some with much stronger messages, much more emotions and much better script too
Armaan:
Writer: Vasay Chaudhry Director: Anjum Shehzad Cast: Fawad Khan, Amina Sheikh, Vasay Chaudhry and others.
This was another one of those telefilms that I was anxiously looking forward to primarily because Fawad Khan was playing the lead. I had my serious apprehensions about Amina Sheikh playing the lead with Fawad Khan because I wondered if the two will look good on-screen together. Nonetheless, I was totally willing to be pleasantly surprised. Honestly speaking I felt like there was hardly any chemistry between Fawad Khan and Amina Sheikh. Both of them performed brilliantly, there is no denying that but the sizzling chemistry that makes you go awww was completely missing.
The story was very interesting and had a lot of potential but the direction wasn’t very impressive and the production values were low. Some of the locations were exactly the same as Abhi Tu Mein Jawan Hum, which was rather disappointing considering that it would have been quite easy for the director and producer to use new locations. I like the comical element in Abhi Tu Mein Jawan Hun much more than in Armaan; some of the jokes were not very clean! One can easily make people laugh without crossing the line of decency and it is always better that way. Armaan wasn’t exactly a masterpiece, in fact I couldn’t even watch it one sitting. Definitely not a must watch on my list but if you love Fawad Khan – go for it!
I haven’t watched Aaina yet, will definitely add what I think about it once I am done watching it…the promos looked very promising. Did you watch the Tarang Housefull telefilms? Please share your opinion about them.
The remake of old Pakistani movies and giving them a touch of Telefilms has now finally reached its end.

Tara Mahmood started her career with Inspector Khoji. She garnered huge appreciation for her characters in Suno Chanda and last year for Chupke Chupke. We are watching her in Dil e Momin now a days. Tara Mahmood ia a textile designer and has worked in corporate world for about 10 years.
Tara has lived in USA, Lahore and is now in Karachi for the past few years. We have seen her play mother to actresses like Ayeza Khan, Madiha Imam and Saboor Aly despite being really young herself.
Tara Mahmood is single. She appeared on Fuchsia and explained that marriage is not related to an individual’s age. She did not feel ready for it in the past and was committed to her professional growth. She now feels that she can get married and will if she finds someone eligible. Check out:
Tara Mahmood is an actress whom we have seen in many big dramas. She is the daughter of ex-education minister Shafqat Mahmood. She is very talented and she often experiments with the roles she plays. She has done all of it including emotional, sad, comedy and negative roles. She can get under the skin of any character and she performs it well.
Tara Mahmood is young but she has played the roles of mothers to many actors on our screens. Ageism is a truth of Paksitan and while men get to play heroes well in their 50s, women are cast as mothers as soon as they cross their 30s. Tara Mahmood was a guest on Samaa TV and shared a similar casting choice that took place and it was a bit surprising for her.
She revealed that she sometimes is not told who she will be playing the mother to. Speaking about ARY Digital’s Amanat, she shared that she was told she would play Saboor Aly’s mother. She loves Saboor and it was great working with her. When she reached the set, she found out that she will be playing Salman Saeed’s mother as well. Salman is older and he is six feet tall. It hilariously shocked her that she will have to play his mother too.
Taqi Ahmed recently got injured while shooting for his upcoming film. The news went viral on social media and whenever a news gets posted on social media, people post all kinds of comments. Taqi Ahmed is doing well now so he decided to share his views regarding the response the news of his accident got on social media. It looks like he is deeply hurt by some of the comments and at the same time he is grateful for all those fans who prayed for him and wished him well.
Taqi Ahmed probably made this video to share how these comments made him feel and perhaps to tell those people who made these comments off but he ended up getting emotional. In the end he wished well and send his love for all those people who said absurd things about him and even more love to those who were his well wishers.

The last episode of the drama was not appreciated by the audiences because of sad ending. Fans said that they loved the drama but they didn’t like the sad ending.

Well, a lot of fans also raised the question on the divorce in pregnancy but it was soon cleared by many other fans as the divorce becomes active soon after the delivery of child.
