Sanwal Yaar Piya is one of the most-anticipated dramas of this year. With a huge star cast including Ahmed Ali Akbar, Feroze Khan and Durefishan Saleem and the writer-director pairing of Hashim Nadeem and Danish Nawaz, this was supposed to be a big project. The show started last night and we got introduced to some important characters including the two leads: Sanwal and Piya.
Sanwal Yaar Piya is also Feroze Khan’s big drama as he has been a part of this project before his divorce controversy. The other two actors then dropped out and the whole cast was changed. He was however not featured in the first episode and he will be making an entrance tonight. His fans are disppointed by this.
Ahmed Ali Akbar is shining as Sanwal in very colourful and bright clothes:
Feroze Khan’s fans are disappointed due to his absence from the starting episode. One viewer said, “They used Feroze Khan for promotions and he is not even in the first episode?” Another added, “Feroze to aya nahin.” One said, “Hero ki entry to reh gayi.” This was the reaction:
Sanwal Yaar Piya is one of the most watched dramas of the year. After high-anticipation the show aired on Geo TV and Ahmed Ali Akbar as Sanwal, Durefishan Saleem as Piya and Feroze Khan as Aliyar came on screens. The drama is gaining high TRPs and YouTube views and fans have also been comparing the performances of stars on the show.
Ahmed Ali Akbar as Sanwal is the fan favourite as the actor has literally embodied the character. The mannerisms, diction and style this character possessed, has endeared him to fans at once. Feroze Khan is another big star in Sanwal Yaar Piya. He is also performing well in hs character but fans have felt that Ahmed has completely overshadowed him. Director Danish Nawaz is now opening up about this comparison.
Danish Nawaz said that both the actors have done a great job in Sanwal Yaar Piya and there is no sense about one overpowering another. He said that Sanwal has a very strongly written character and Ahmed Ali Akbar has done a great job while portraying him. Feroze Khan’s Aliyar is different and the actor has done what was in the script to perfection. There is no comparison between the two and both have done the job they were given.
Sanwal Yaar Piya is an upcoming Geo Entertainment drama series which has been produced by Abdullah Kadwani and Asad Qureshi under the banner of 7th Sky Entertainment Productions. The drama has been directed by the talented Danish Nawaz, and written by the acclaimed Hashim Nadeem Khan.

Sannia Ashfaq is a renowned Pakistani celebrity with a significant social media presence. She married former Pakistani cricketer Imad Wasim in 2019. Sannia Ashfaq and Imad Wasim have three children: Inaya, Ryan, and Zayan. In July 2025, Imad Wasim was reportedly caught cheating on his wife, Sannia Ashfaq, during her third pregnancy. According to details shared online, Imad Wasim was allegedly dating digital creator Nyla Rajah. Multiple pictures and videos of Imad Wasim and Nyla Rajah went viral on social media in July 2025. Sannia Ashfaq also reported at the birth of her third baby that she was alone throughout her pregnancy.
Two days ago, her husband announced online that he had filed for divorce, after which Sannia shared an emotional post about how her home was broken by a third party. This was instantly addressed by Nyla Rajah, who challenged Sannia to provide evidence.
Today, Sannia Ashfaq shared a post warning Imad Wasim’s alleged girlfriend regarding the ongoing court case. She wrote, “Evidence belongs in courts and before competent authorities, not on social media for public spectacle. Justice is served through due process, not virality. Any attempt to defame or incite against an already grieving party will be dealt with in an ironclad manner, in accordance with the law.”
Social media users are supporting Sannia Ashfaq in this matter, with many praying for her strength. One user wrote, “More power to you, strong girl.” Another commented, “There should be proper laws for home-wreckers.” A user added, “Such women should be punished who indulge in affairs with married men and fathers.” Another wrote, “Sannia, you are handling your case very smartly. We support you. May Allah look after your affairs.” Read comments:
Sannia Ashfaq is a renowned digital media influencer and ex-wife of former cricketer Imad Wasim, who allegedly cheated on her during her third pregnancy and later married digital creator and lawyer Nyla Raja. Imad Wasim and Nyla Raja got nikahfied in Feb 2026, and since then they have been publicly sharing updates from their married life. According to Sannia Ashfaq, Imad Wasim has been sending legal notices to her in which he asks his ex-wife to leave their apartment. Imad also demanded custody of their child. His ex-wife, Sannia Ashfaq, has been reporting everything on social media.
Recently, Sannia Ashfaq further shared details of her toxic married life, stating that she was controlled and abused by Imad Wasim, and that he does not want to pay for his children or meet them, but on the other hand expects Sannia to return the children to him.
Sannia Ashfaq wrote, “The audacity of this man, after what he has put me and our children through, to still have the nerve to say what he said is disgusting. The whole world knows when your chapter with your new wife began. He cheated on me while I was pregnant with his child. During my pregnancy, his controlling behaviour made my life extremely difficult. He was arrested in July 2025 in the UK because of his behaviour and domestic abuse allegations, and there were concerns that he wanted to take my children away. I also felt pressured by his family to withdraw my statement, and because of his behaviour, social services became involved.
She further added, “Recently, social workers asked if he wanted to speak to his own children, but he ignored them. He does not want to speak to them or see them, yet he continues to make my life miserable in the hope that I will give the children back. As a mother, I find that heartbreaking. If you don’t care about your children, why bring them into this world? Yet you tell people that I stopped you from speaking to them, which is simply not true. I will never give up on my children, and that will never happen. No matter how difficult you try to make my life, I will always stand by and protect my children. I hope your true character is fully exposed to the world so everyone can see how you have behaved and understand who you really are.” Read here:

Sannia Ashfaq is the ex-wife of cricketer Imad Wasim. The two got divorced recently after her husband very publicly cheated on her. She was left with three of their children and she has been raising them and exposing her ex-husband and his new wife who have been posting lovey dovey pictures on social media.
Imad Wasim got married to influencer Nyla Rajah after they both “dated” while he was already married. He has been saying that he cannot meet his children anymore while his ex-wife has now shared the reality of that relationship. He has met his newborn son only once when she forcefully took him to meet his father and that is all.
Sannia Ashfaq shared in the latest Q/A session about her life now. She said that Imad Wasim is not financially supporting their children at all. She has been managing everything on her own. She went on to share how she feels hurt that Imad is making her son Zayan feel abandoned as he has never come to see him. She has never spoken directly to Nyla rajah as she has standards and class but Nyla has made Imad block her number in order to distance him from his children.
Here is what Sannia Ashfaq revealed about Imad Wasim’s indifference to their children:
Sannia Ashfaq is Imad Wasim’s ex-wife and the mother of his three children. She was betrayed by the famous cricketer while she was three months pregnant and she is now raising their three children while Imad has married influencer Nyla Rajah just a month after divorcing his first wife.
Sannia Ashfaq sat down for her very first interview with Shahnilah Razzaq and she has exposed how she was used and cheated on in her marriage. She revealed for the very first time how her husband took her to England when she was pregnant for the third time. He left her at her mother’s house and said that they both need space from each other. He left her there with the three kids and later announced a separation from her.
Here is what she revealed:
Sannia Ashfaq revealed that Imad Wasim told her that he needed space and then went on to roam around with Nyla Rajah. He already stared cheating on her while she was pregnant and he had already found a second woman. She added that she has heard Nyla is a lawyer in Islamabad but she doubts it. She added that as soon as Imad Wasim and Nyla Rajah were caught cheating, many people messaged her that Nyla is a homewrecker who always hits on married men. This is Nyla’s third marriage as well. She blames both Imad and Nyla for this betrayal, not only Nyla.
This is what she revealed:
Sannia Ashfaq revealed that she went back to Pakistan even after receiving first divorce notice. At that time, her ex had not seen their child and she hoped he will have a soft corner in his heart after looking at the child but it did not happen. She tried to save her marriage till the end but Imad Wasim did not care for his wife or children.
Sannia Ashfaq is Imad Wasim’s ex-wife and the mother of his three kids, currently living life as a single mother in the UK after her husband abandoned his family for his then-girlfriend Nyla Raja. Imad has now moved on with Nyla, while Sannia has dedicated her life to her three children.
Sannia has recently shared everything in detail about what happened in her toxic marriage with Imad. She also revealed how they met, married, and when things went worst between them.
Talking about it, she said, “My name is Sannia. I was previously married to Imad Wasim. People want to know what happened in our marriage. Many people asked how I met Imad, and how we got divorced. So, I met Imad online. At the beginning, I found him to be very kind, loving, and compassionate. We fell in love. We got married. I thought I was going to have this relationship for the rest of my life. After marriage, I left the UK and moved to Pakistan. I left family, friends, everyone. Also, his family got involved in our marriage. Whenever he was with them, he was a completely different person. He used to listen to them. Even if Imad was wrong, his family supported him. Our fights started from something, not bigger issues. I told Imad that I was pregnant with Ziyan. He was very happy. He was fond of kids, used to say once we would have our children, we would be enjoying our life with kids. We went for Umrah in 2024; things were normal. I became pregnant again. When we went to the hospital, I told him that I would tell his mother about pregnancy after a little gap. It’s not that I didn’t want to tell his family, I just needed time. The reason was I wanted to hide it from her because previously she pressured me for abortion, and because of that experience, I wasn’t ready. I was scared she would do the same. He didn’t listen to this, and it became an issue between us. He became angry, and when he told her about my pregnancy, his mother asked him to divorce me, take my house property and everything, and they did the same, took furniture, everything. And after that, our argument continued for two or three days. I told Imad my house was ready where we could move and things might change then, but he didn’t listen. His older brother got involved and everything turned worse. Everyone was against me. I was alone. My family was in the UK. While I was pregnant, his brother threatened me that he would have me kidnapped and no one would find me. It was all told in front of Imad. He remained silent.”
She further added, “After a few days, Imad came to me and said that my family is doing bad to you. We should settle in the UK and should leave every problem here and raise our childre. We will forget bitter experience we had in Pakistan and will spend time with our children, and I believed him, but as soon as we arrived in England, everything changed. He came to my mum’s house, got involved with a lawyer, told me he’s leaving me, took my passport, my children’s passports, and left me at my mother’s house. They tortured me for nine months. I asked him why he was doing this and asked why he was leaving me. He excused it by saying he needed time. It was his excuse for abandoning us. He continued controlling me through his lawyer. Every week, I received a letter from his lawyer. Even after everything, I wanted to save my marriage and begged him, but all he said was he needed space. He then threatened me that he wanted to take the children. When he was arrested, his family and lawyers, I helped him come out of prison. He was jailed for his actions, not because of me. At the time of delivery, I texted him. Instead of showing excitement, he threatened me not to text him as it would be considered harassment. Then I started seeing videos showing him with this homewrecker. He had no time for his newborn but that homewrecker. I felt betrayed. He deceived me through his words. When he took me to the UK, then he refused that it was his fan. I tried everything to save our marriage because of our children, but unfortunately, it didn’t work. I later discovered that he was unfaithful. He sent me divorce papers and the same month got married to the same homewrecker who was his fan. I took the kids to Pakistan to see if his heart melts, but nothing happened. I talked to Imad’s family, but they didn’t listen. My kids were crying, but he didn’t think about them. Rest, you can see the video how I was treated. He left Pakistan with this homewrecker. He wasn’t interested in the children. He was too busy to come to Pakistan, and his father would see his ailing son. I’m doing everything on my own currently.”
Talking about her abortion, Sannia Ashfaq said, “Imad already booked an appointment with the lady doctor for abortion. Dr. asked me if I was okay with keeping the child, to which I said yes. She took Imad to another room, let him hear his son’s heartbeat. Even after hearing the heartbeat, he said he still wanted the abortion. This is something I can never forgive. I was three months pregnant. She said it’s not a baby, it’s just a sack. I cried desperately and cried for my baby. They gave me an injection. I passed out, and when I woke up, I had already been aborted. I have three beautiful children. I hope and pray they become successful in life.”
Sannia Ashfaq is a renowned Pakistani social media influencer who has been making headlines after her ex-husband, Imad Wasim, was reportedly caught cheating with digital influencer and lawyer Nyla Raja, followed by their divorce and his marriage to Nyla last month. Imad Wasim and Nyla have now reportedly sent multiple legal notices to Sannia Ashfaq, demanding that she vacate the house provided by Imad and also requesting custody of one child, a topic Sannia often addresses on her official Instagram.
Recently, Sannia Ashfaq conducted a Q&A session on her Instagram, where she spoke openly about Imad Wasim and Nyla Raja.
While responding to a question about the baby’s custody, Sannia revealed that they demanded custody of one child. In Q & A session a follower had claimed Nyla’s first husband allegedly left her because she could not have a child to which Sannia shared a Quranic verse. Sannia further disclosed that Imad Wasim’s family does not criticize his wrongdoings because he finances their household, and they treat him like a king.
Sannia also stated that Imad Wasim’s brother behaved similarly toward his wife, and her ex-sister-in-law was forced to leave the house after being cheated on. During the Q&A session, a follower mentioned that Nyla Raja comes from a poor background and used to live in a quarter, to which Sannia responded that money only exposes a person’s true nature. Another follower revealed that Nyla tried to approach her husband but she taught her a lesson to which Sannia said, ‘At least it was caught timely’. Sannia Ashfaq also revealed that she never gave the UK visa to her husband Imad Wasim and has recently cancelled the ongoing procedure. Sannia Ashfaq concluded by thanking her fans and followers for their overwhelming support and prayers. Read her replies here:
Sannia Ashfaq is Imad Wasim’s ex-wife and a renowned social media celebrity who got married to the former cricketer in 2019 when he was at the peak of his career. Sannia Ashfaq was deeply in love with her husband Imad Wasim and also gave birth to his three children, Inaya, Ryan and Zayan.

Multiple pictures and videos of Imad Wasim and Nyla Rajah went viral on social media in July 2025.

Today, Sannia Ashfaq broke silence after her husband announced divorce. Sania shared an emotional post about how her home was broken.
She wrote, “I am writing this from a place of deep pain. My home has been broken, and my children have been left without their father. I am a mother. of three, including a five-month-old infant who has yet to be held by his father. This is not a story I wished to share, but silence should never be mistaken for weakness. Like many marriages, ours had difficulties, yet it continued to exist. I remained committed as a wife and mother and made sincere efforts to Preserve our family. What ultimately ended this marriage was the involvement of a third party, whose intention was to marry my husband, and became the final blow to an already struggling union. Following this, I endured emotional torment. mistreatment, abortion and abandonment while pregnant and vulnerable, choosing patience for the sake of my children and the dignity of my home. The divorce process itself is legally disputed and remains under scrutiny. The truth will emerge through proper channels. To those who attempt to silence or intimidate me: Know that injustice does not go unanswered. Allah says, “Do not think Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do.” (Surah Ibrahim 14:42) And He also says, “Good women are for good men, and good men are for good women” (Surah An-Nur 24:26). Also, it is crucial to mention that there is documented evidence available for each and every culprit in this matter, but I’m being threatened to not post it publicly. For every individual who attempts to threaten me shall be dealt with by the law. I speak today not out of vengeance, but out of truth for myself, for my children, and for every woman who was told to endure in silence.
Sannia Ashfaq is getting huge public support and almost everyone is blaming Imad Wasim for this divorce. A few also called out Sannia for her wrong choice, knowing the dating history of the former cricketer. Many cursed Imad and called him out for his open cheating despite having three children a d a beautiful wife. Read comments:
Imad Wasim and Sannia Ashfaq recently parted ways after six years of marriage, due to Imad Wasim’s relationship and nikah with influencer Nyla Raja, who had allegedly been dating him for over a year. Sannia Ashfaq is now a single mother to their three children and has claimed that her children are abandoned by their father. The heated exchanges between the former couple often go viral on social media.
Recently, Imad Wasim wished his daughter Inaya Imad a happy birthday. He shared a picture with her on social media and captioned it, “Happy birthday to my angel. Baba loves you.” Read here:
In response, Sannia Ashfaq called out Imad Wasim’s hypocrisy in her own birthday message for her daughter Inaya. She wrote, “Happy 5th Birthday to my beautiful girl. You deserve a childhood filled with love, safety, and stability. It’s difficult seeing public messages of ‘Baba loves you so much’ while privately agencies are being told that your mother and children can go to a homeless shelter because financial support will no longer be provided. Children deserve more than words posted online. They deserve security, honesty, and protection in real life. No matter what happens, Mummy will always protect you and make sure you feel safe and loved every single day.” Read here:
Social media users are standing firmly with Sannia Ashfaq, with many wishing Inaya a very happy birthday. Several women have also praised Sannia for openly calling out Imad Wasim over what they describe as his repeated wrongdoings. Read the comments here:
Sannia Ashfaq is a popular Pakistani celebrity and digital creator who was married to Imad Wasim for 6 years, and together they have three children. Although their marriage was broken after the entry of Nyla Raja, a digital influencer, who came into public attention in mid-2025 amid social media speculation linking her with Imad Wasim in London, although she publicly denied any relationship at the time but ended up marrying Imad Wasim in February 2026, which sparked widespread social media debate.
Now, Nyla has been sharing glimpses of her married life on social media, including pictures from home and posts highlighting her husband’s achievements, which has continued to draw public attention and mixed reactions online.
Recently, Sannia Ashfaq bashed Nyla Raja in her recent Instagram post, calling her a home wrecker and flaunting the achievements of her husband when he was in Sannia and her children’s life.
Sannia Ashfaq wrote,“This home wrecker trying so hard to make our lives miserable. As a so-called lawyer and advocate for women, she should be encouraging her husband to support his three children, not standing by while he tells people he is too poor to pay child maintenance. The house they are proudly decorating today was my home. I designed it, and created it for my family and my children. It was our home, and it was taken away from us. Now she lives there and acts as though she achieved it all herself. What people seem to forget is that Allah sees everything. You can post all the pictures and stories you want, trying to show the world how perfect your life is, but social media is not reality. I have moved on with my life. Your constant attempts to show off, make me jealous, or prove something are not going to get you anywhere. The only thing they reveal is insecurity. One day, true colours always come out, no matter how much people try to hide them. sannia_ashfaq2 Th As for the trophy cabinet Those trophies are my children’s. They were achieved when my children supported their father and I stood by him as well. the only trophy that truly belongs to you is a Home wrecker and for imad wasim as a cheater of the Year award. If anything belongs in that cabinet with your name on it. now you’ll have plenty of time to dust those trophies and admire achievements that were never yours.”
Sannia Ashfaq and Imad Wasim were married for several years. They are parents to three children but this relationship ended on a bitter note. They are fighting it out on the internet and their story of cheating and betrayal goes several ways.
Nyla Rajah is the new wife of Imad Wasim. She is the one Imad married after divorcing his first wife and leaving his three kids with her.
Shoaib Malik is another cricketer who married more than once. He was married to Sania Mirza before Sana Javed and he is co-parenting his son with Sania.
When someone compared Shoaib Malik to Imad Wasim, Sannia Ashfaq asked them to not do it. She said that Shoaib might have had his marriage issues but he never abandoned his kid, unlike Imad who does not care about his children. This is what she said:
The internet us reacting to this statement. One person wrote, “She is right. Shoaib has not left her son.” Another added,”All cheaters are bad not just your husband.” One said, “You need to let it go and move forward.” Here is the reaction:
Imad Wasim is a famous Pakistani former cricketer known for both his bowling and batting. He made headlines in July 2025 after being spotted in London with digital influencer and lawyer Nyla Raja, with many claiming he was cheating on his wife while she was pregnant with their third child. A few months later, Imad Wasim himself confirmed his separation from his wife, Sannia Ashfaq. The couple had three children during their six years of marriage. Following the announcement, Sannia accused a “third party” of being involved in the breakdown of their relationship and shared evidence of the alleged infidelity.
Imad Wasim has finally gotten married to his girlfriend Nayla Raja and the video was shared by Sannia Ashfaq herself.
Taking the video to Instagram, Sannia Ashfaq wrote, “Now everyone has seen the proof this homewrecker never once thought about my kids the cheater has finally been exposed and I want justice for my children and for everything we’ve been put through. Read here :

Sannia Ashfaq has called out Islamabad United for picking Imad Wasim for Psl. She further exposed Imad Wasim and revealed that he has got their one child aborted in 2023 and was cheating on her:
SANNATA is a serial that hasn’t grown on everyone. It’s one of those serials like UBFN that have a very selective audience and doesn’t click with the masses. The reason being it’s not a commercial serial and lacks the mainstream attraction. But for those of us who have fallen in love with it, we can’t seem to have our fill!
The qawwali that features in SANNATA transports me into a parallel world. Sufi music has that impact on people and this is no different.
This poem is written by Amir Khusro in Persian and Brij Bhasha. Brij Bhasha is a Dehaati Zabaan (country tongue) and a dialect of Hindi. In the first verse, the first line is in Persian, the second in Brij Bhasha, the third in Persian again, and the fourth in Brij Bhasha.
What a beautiful piece of artwork today’s episode was. Flawless direction, spot-on dialogues and above all tremendous performance by each and every artist in this play.
Pari’s “chachundar” Azam (Danish Taimoor) made his entry today .Despite of least expectations from him,I was eagerly waiting for his entry in the show. The reason of least expectations from him might be because I have never seen him performing serious roles. And now that I have seen him, I must confess that I am truly impressed by his charismatic personality, expressions and dialogue delivery while doing his job as Azam.
Pari and Azam’s first encounter was quite interesting. At first, she seemed comfortable with him but her insecurity for Rukayya is upheaving to maximum with every passing day. And for that when she observed Rukayya engrossed in chit chat with Azam all the time, she felt as if she was getting ignored by Rukayya. Consequently, developed a sense of envy for Azam.
It adds another level to the show whenever there is heated exchange of words between Pari and Azam; Pari being ultra-insecure of Azam while Azam enjoying every word that Pari utters and responding calmly and intelligently.
Salma’s part is always fun to watch. Her ever confused nature, silly reasoning with Aapa Bi always put a smile on my face. It’s solely because of her husband’s death that she never seemed to be satisfied and happy. Her husband’s death mystery is still an unsolved riddle for all us and I hope when it will get revealed it won’t be of “Khoda pahaar nikla chooha” kind.
Pari took it as her insult when she was asked by Rukayya that she owes an apology to Azam. How can our Rukayya Aapa tolerate that her very own Pari is not ready to talk to her. At the very moment when Pari was upset, Rulayya went to her ,tried to make her move a step ahead of what she was feeling about Azam and every word that came from Rukayya’s side worth million dollars. “Pari mai kya houn terai lyai,koi khilona houn jis sey na tu khud khailti hai,na kisi ko khailnay daiti hai”. That whole scene was the most intense scene of the episode and in true meaning was “Moment of The Episode”.
Aapa Bi is getting more and more worried and concerned about Rukayya’s marriage with every passing day. At one side Aapi Bi cannot bear Naseeban interference in her family matters but on the other, she knows that no one can fill her space in their family. I found Aapi Bi and Naseeban’s interaction really touchy and the way Naseeban got convinced to go back home proved that she values Aapa Bi and her family more than anything.
Azam is not at all fond of his mother because they have nothing in common.Azam is completely family oriented person whereas his mother is fond of partying and hanging around all the time.For her, PR values more than her own son. With all that, her complains that Najma (Azam’s step mother) is applying some cheap tactics to snatch away her son are not at all justified.
Indeed,it was a well packaged episode with a blend of emotions, shades of love and what not.Kudos to the whole team of Sannata!
Sometimes certain events in our lives change us forever and that was what happend to Shauqi when he met Gul Mina. His Taaya (old enough to die) got married to a young,beautiful girl who played with Shauqi’s emotions and his honesty. Deeply submerged in her affection, Shauqi did what he never thought to do; he murdered his own Taaya and as soon as he got to know that it was merely a game that Gul Mina played just to get rid of her husband and to get united with her lover; he felt as if he was betrayed by Gul Mina. She gave him reality check when he questioned the reason of betrayal.
Tum ne bhi tou apnay baap jesay taaya k saath faraib kya jesay meray baap ne meray saath kya.
That was the moment when Shauqi was filled with remorse and shame. His bitter memories were more enough to restrain him when he was about to kill Azam;Gul Mina and Pari part was related so well.
Rukayya’s reaction to what Aapa Bi thinks of Pari was justified; this is the reaction one expects from a mother who loves her child without any bounds. Despite of the fact that Rukayya didnot give birth to Pari, she always assumed herself as if she was her mother and for that Pari was pampered too. Her stubbornness grew because she knew that Rukayya will always be there by her side whenever any member of family will try haunt her.
The kidnapping part was brilliantly directed and effortlessly performed (by Sajjal Ali);the way she shouted while showing her enmity to Shauqi looked hell realistic. But there was a point when I felt that scenes were prolonged too – Might be director’s fault.
Pari ran away with a hope that her Rukayya Aapa will be waiting for her but what she heard was no less than a trauma for her; she was unable to believe what she heard and ran towards Shauqi again. Again,that was half of the story, what Rukayya said in favor of her was left unheard and after that Pari was all set to leave for her father.Meanwhile, on the other side, Rukayya’s harsh words and verbal spat with Aapa Bi ended up with Aapi Bi getting paralyzed.
Ashfaq’s not-so-caring nature has now attained much higher degree than ever before. A man who lives merely for maintaining his PR and never values any relation is definition of none other than our Ashfaq Saheb.
Talking about flashbacks – Unlike typical flashbacks, Naseeban’s and Shauqi’s stories gave us points to ponder upon. Whoever says that flashbacks are the cause of bad TRP’s, are proved totally wrong this time. Because Naseeban’s story was myfavorite and most anticipated part of the show and so did Shauqi’s. Overall, this showmaintained its pace in first 6-7 episodes. After that, the graph went on going down and now, at this point, I am sensing that the bars of the show will be raised again.
What are your expectations from upcoming episode ? Do share your thoughts.
Rabia Basharat.
P.S. I am extremely sorry for being so inactive these days. Will review every show on time from now on InshaAllah.
To choose between one you lived your life for and the one you want to live rest of your life with is getting more and more difficult for Rukayya. She is obsessed with Pari as she spent her childhood by caring and looking after her like a mother. For Pari,Rukayya was her whole world till Azam step in her life. Azam, being educated but not experienced planned everything in favor of his and Rukayya relation-Getting attached to Pari was part of his plan too. Rukayya was completely unaware of the fact that Azam is solely doing all this for their future;At the same time, he was unable to see/predict aftermaths of his attachment with Pari.
Naseeban’s love story took an interesting turn as she lost the one whom she loved the most and now all she can do is to starve for him – starving so harder that even after getting married to Shabban, she didnot give up loving that imaginary tree-man. Those scenes whenever she talks to tree considering it as tree-man were deeply submerged in emotions and depicted the power of true love to the fullest.
Being brought in that beautiful house was not more than a dream for Rukayya and Pari. They never came across with this colorful part of world. Everything sounded alien to them and they were so hesitant to the situation. After watching and observing Aish dancing for few minutes, Pari felt like dancing the same way too. Rukayya found it strange as it was not part of what she taught Pari throughout her life and the outburst came in the form a strong jerk along with slap. It was her hidden aggression for Pari that compelled her do that. She was angry at her because Pari made her deprived of the feeling she was living with thoughtout her life- the feeling of being a mother. Deep inside, her insecurity was shouting out loud because Pari was snatched away from her by Azam.Rukayya’s perceptions proved to be a fallacy as and when Azam proposed her and told her that he loves her beyond her imagination and what she fancies about his and Pari’s relation is nothing more than her series of perceptions.
With one issue resolved for Rukayya, came up a number of more for her. She was all convinced with Azam’s affection but was unable to come out of trauma which she is facing because of Pari. Pari was the one because of whom Rukayya and Azam’s relation was disclosed before time so Rukayya was unable to find a way out except for accepting Aapa Bi’s command. Despite of having intense feelings for Azam, she ignored her inner self and compromised with what Aapa Bi wanted from her.
Azam knows that Rukayya is not brave enough to accept him as her life partner infront of everyone only because she is few years older than her.Pari’s obsession is not allowing her to give up her Rukayya Aapa for Azam and for that she tore the letter into pieces that was sent by Azam for Rukayya.
After following and searching for Pari for so long, Shaiqi finally found her.It was when Pari came out to throw the letter away and she met him.He pledged her to come to Dargah again as she is the only one with the help of whom forgiveness will be granted to him, as he believed.
Pari,right from her childhood, assumed herself as Rukayya. With her age, assumption of being Rukayya also developed more in her. What turn the story of this show will take, due to Pari’s split personality kind of trait, remains a question mark.By far, it is the most interesting and perfectly directed show that is being aired these days.This show is raising its bar with the passage of every episode. Lets see how story will shape up in forthcoming episodes.
Lastly, I am extremely sorry for reviewing it so late due to certain commitments.
I would love to hear your opinion about these two episodes.Do share your thoughts.
And yes, the cheap politics of Sultana infected Salma to the fullest and she is all set to go against Aapa Bi. Salma,who never raised her voice infront of Aapa Bi,has now started arguing with her.No wonder, Salma is somewhat low with her intelligence quotient or maybe the unforgettable events in her life made her look and sound like that. Rahi sahi kasar Sultana ne poori kar di..After observing Azam,who seems to be really concerned for Pari’s health, Aapa Bi and Salma smelled something fishy.But they didnot pay heed to it because Azam’s wicked mother will be enough to handle the situation for them. According to them,Azam won’t be able to take it for so long and then they will have to return back.
Rukayya is realizing with the passage of every moment that Pari is getting out of her hands. And not only that, Rukayya has developed a sense of envy for Pari too. She sounded so confused today; she want Pari to be happy but at the same time she was not happy to see her with Azam and that is because deep inside Rukayya has developed feelings for Azam. The mohabbat debate between Azam and Rukayya said it all. Her eyes,her expressions and every word she uttered was depicting that how sad is she after losing Pari,how sad is she to see Pari and Azam together. At the same time, being unaware of Rukayya’s jealousy, Azam was enjoying the discussion.
“Ye donu kya bolai jaa rahay hain mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa raha”
Pari’s dialogue brought a smile on my face. She never knew how to play with words; Pari tou pari thei..ultra-straight forward. She was unaware of the fact that her Rukayya Aapa is burning deep inside.
Pari ! Jab aik kashti mai bohat saaray sawaar ho jayen toy kashti doobnay lagti hai,kisi aik ko tou kurabaani daini ho gey.
After striving so hard Rukayya decided to give up. She was ready to get married and for that she yelled at Pari to not create any fuss when guests will arrive.The old man who appeared to be so well-off, is already married twice and this is the third time he is getting married..woh bhi Rukayya se.. Disgusting.Rukayya was unable to help herself except accepting the proposal and this time Salma was not happy.Salma and Rukayya’s interaction and their deep discussion was so intense. This was the first time since her childhood when Rukayya cried while sharing her problems with Salma.
Then comes Naseeban’s dream tale part; Naseeban had secret meetings with that man.How come he knew that Naseeban is going to get married to Shabban? How can he be so sure that Naseeban is not happy with Shabban? A question arose in my mind,just like Rukayya today.Is this story true? Whether it may be true or not, that man and Naseeban’s traits are close enough. Both can talk to air,trees,birds,clouds and what not.. :P
Azam’s surprise entry alongwith Rukayya and Pari was not more than a mental shock for Azam’s mother.Salma’s concern for her daughter can be clearly judged by the fact that how sad and how unsatisfied she was,after Rukayya left. During last two minutes, Sajjal Ali’s acting was spot-on; the expressions,the dialogue delivery and everything else was so damn perfect. Lets see for how long they are going to stay at Azam’s place and under what circumstances Azam will propose Rukayya.
Do give your valuable feedback about this latest installment.
Meanwhile, Rukayya is trying her best to convince Aapa Bi for Pari’s treatment in some city hospital, Salma was found pretty much reluctant to pay heed to what Aapi Bi said. Salma thinks that its Naseeban who is culprit of delay in Rukayya’s marriage.
“Kuch log hamaisha badnaseeb rehtay hain, kisi ko khushi nahi dai saktay.. Chaah kar bhi nahi..”
This very statement showed inside out of Rukayya. She was never close to mother since her childhood. Days passed with the speed of light and so did the bitterness in Rukayya for her mother raised to peak. But she was never caught harsh as far as her dealings with her mother is concerned.
Azam tried his luck by using every possible way to get closer to Pari. According to me,he is solely doing this because he knows that Pari and Rukayya are so close and attached to each other. He felt that there is no room for his and Rukayya’s relation until Pari will move a step back from Rukayya Aapa;After that she will accept Rukayya and his relation. I found that imitating part really funny and so did Pari.
Salma went to Sultana house and pledged to look for another guy for Rukayya. Sultana took it as a golden chance to make Salma against her mother and Naseeban according to her plan. And for the sake of revenge, Pari was passed through serious mental and physical trauma by the Fake Peer Baba that Sultana brought.This was the first time when Pari moved one step ahead of Rukayya while Rukayya moved a step back from Azam.
Deep inside, something was making Rukayya uncomfortable whenever she observes Pari and Azam hanging around and ultra-franked. Rukayya, who raised Pari like her mother, is a girl who thinks of Azam as her prince charming and dreams to spend rest of her life with Azam but has developed a sense of insecurity too. It was the first relation that Pari made herself and she was enjoying the feel of having a friend to the fullest. Forgetting her Rukayya aapa, she has started to learn to live without her..
Passing through the hallway of memories, Naseeban started narrating her story of her past.Now that was something really self-captivating and I enjoyed every bit of it.It was like a part of those tales that we read in books or the stories that our grandma used to tell us and we lived up every moment with those stories.This time I felt the same; Flowing with the flow of every moment and boosting up the anticipation to watch more of it was what Naseeban story gave me.I am anxiously waiting for remaining part of Naseeban’s past and I expect that it will be unfolded with perfection the same way it is unfolded in this episode. Yumna Zaidi was,indeed, at her best during the entire sequence.
Shaiki (Tipu),the mystery man, has finally found his mehboob in Pari and he is having an intense feeling to have her in dargah in order to get rid of feeling of emptiness that he had in him right from the day when he saw him; which is increasing with every passing day. Azam and Najma went to Aapa Bi’s place so that they can ask her for Pari’s proper treatment while living with them;Najma also offered that Rukayya should also come along so that Pari won’t feel insecure or uncomfortable.
Next episode will surely bring us something more interesting for us. By far, this show has really made me fall in love with it. This show is raising its bar every time it comes up with new episode. I hope the pace will be maintained and everything will remain as much perfect as it is now.
Do share your views about this latest installment.
There comes a time when one is unable to judge that what will happen next; After watching this episode, I am feeling the same. Azam was bending towards Rukayya in previous episode and now he seemed to be quite much concerned for Pari while avoiding Rukayya to the fullest. My head is full of confusion now. Hopefully ,by the time I will reach at the end of this review, I will come to a conclusion.
Episode started with Naseeban and postman’s discussion which was clearly depicting that Ashfaaq Mamoo is cheating his sister by living a luxurious life and by letting Aapa Bi and her family live in starvation. Rukayya has already developed feelings for Azam and as soon as she saw that letter along with those pictures, her instinct told her that it will be solely for her. By the way, I didnt find that poem engaging, except from its end.
Pari is continuously observing Rukayya because she is sounding so indifferent to her. Her Rukayya Aapa is slowly transforming her attitude into not-so-caring whenever it comes to opt between Azam and Pari and Pari is not liking it at all.
The Dargah scene was spot on once again. Modern version of Amir Khusroo Qawwali,sang by Sahir Ali Bagga, is as much soulful as the original Qawwali itself. It takes the scene to another level and create an aura that can’t be explained in words.And if we add Sajjal Ali’s absorbing expressions in that teb tou 4 chaand lag jatay hain. While Teepu (the mysterious man) is finding peace, he thinks of Pari as his Mehboob with the help of which he can get inner peace as advised by his Murshid.
Sajjal Ali’s acting in this serial reminds me of her role in Mohabbat Jaye Bhaar Mai. She is as outspoken and blunt in this serial as she was in MJBM except for that scary kind of attitude that she brought in her in this show. It literally made my heart to beat much faster and took my breath away for a second when Sultana was planning to end up Aapa Bi’s family peace by creating fuss among them and Pari stood right at her back as soon as she turned.. Uff.. That was hilarious.. And that verbal spat between them was bang on !
Salma and Aapa Bi were not expecting that Azam will come back because according to them Azam had worst three days of his life while living in their Hawaili. But they were wrong, he came back and this time he had some plan in his mind for Pari. He tried to make her as much easy with him as he can and for the sake of gaining Pari’s attention, he asked Rukayya to stay away from him.
While exchanging their thoughts bluntly about Rukayya, Azam took the discussion to another level where he can make Pari comfortable with him and started teasing her just for getting closer to her. This was the first time when he came across the fact that Pari gets fits whenever she finds situation difficult to handle.
For the sake of recovery, Pari will have to go through torture phase and Azam will try to protect her. Thats what preview of next episode says.I am anxiously waiting for next episode as I want answers to the questions that are spinning my head over and over again.
For all those who dont know about this serial, Let me give you a brief introduction of it. Plot of show revolves around Rukayya(Saba Kamar) and her life. Rukayya’s aunt Husna(Sajal Ali) went against her family and ran away with a man. Husna’s father and brother died as a consequence of this incident. After that Aapa Bi (Sameena Ahmed ) gave Husna a title of “Daayan”.
Husna died on spot while giving birth to her daughter and Rukayya was the one who raised her daughter after her death.She named cute little angel as “Pari”. Time flew away and Pari grew up.Everytime aapa bi scold her,Rukayya was there to fight for Pari and to console her. Because of that, Pari considered Rukayya’s everything as her own property and got really possessive about her. All she wants is to become a shadow of Rukayya.
I want to add up here that child artist who is performing role of Pari is doing complete justice with her role. She is such a young and cute girl and giving unbelievable and unexpected output. Our artists (not all of them,ofcourse :P ) should take some acting classes from her.
Ashfaq ,being brother of Aapa Bi handles all the financial matters of their house. Aapa Bi didnot tell him that husna came back and died after giving birth to Pari.Rukayya and Pari met Ashfaq. I can smell something fishy in Ashfaq character.Today was the first time when we came across Ashfaq’s role in serial,he visited Aapa Bi’s place after long time just to get the papers of house in which Aapa Bi is living with rest of ladies.
Pari grew up and her role is given to Sajal Ali again. Her entrance was beyond my expectation.With the passage of time,her hatred for aapa bi developed more and she was about to burn Aapa Bi but Rukayaa caught her on the spot. After that,Rukayya slapped her and it was for sure unexpected for Pari and she got fits soon after that. Salma considered that its due to some supernatural power, Naseeban doesnt believe in that whereas Aapa Bi curses that tree under the shadow of which Pari spends her whole day.
Now coming towards the part where Naseeban,Rukayya and Pari visited Tomb of some famous religious personality. I really liked that part in today’s episode. The background score was truly magical and it was complimenting overall atmosphere created for that scene. Pari came across a strange man, looking much like Fakeer Baba, who keep on following her till she was in Tomb. Mystery man’s mystery is still a question mark. It may be revealed in upcoming episodes.
For the first time in television industry, I have come across a different approach to unfold the story. I really like how Saba Kamar, wearing plain white frock, is narrating whole story of her life throughout the show.
Without any doubt, this show is one of its own kind.Viewers have high expectations from this serial. Let’s see whether this serial will live up to our expectations or not.
By far,Sannata has been the most difficult show to review; Not because,it is a third grade show but it is a masterpiece and I always fall short of words while praising it.Though, I know its plot still my predictions fail almost all the time whenever fresh episode of Sannata broadcasts. Rukayya felt helpless when she came to know that deep inside she loves Azam same way as Azam feels for her.She knew that they are living in a society where decision of elders is of prime importance; Her thought of getting married to a man who is much younger than her made her uncomfortable to fully enjoy the feeling and as soon as Azam confirmed that he wants to marry her, so many questions arose in her head. How will everyone react to the news ? How will she live without Pari even if she gets married to Azam ? Will Pari be able to accept her marriage? Will Azam be able to take responsibility of Pari same way as she did?
With so many questions in her mind, she decided to let Azam go out of her life as it seems almost impossible for her to get married to Azam.On the other side, Azam was clear with his thoughts and was all set to get married to Rukayya.He knew that he will have to convince his parents by hook or by crook and for that he adopted the way with which his parents won’t be able to say “NO” to him,afterall he knew week points of his father.
Turning out into evil, he exploited his parents to the best .I know,his personality is completely opposite to his father. Unlike his father, he cannot bare to see others suffering because of him while he is living a luxurious life.Right from his childhood he knew that his father is not giving the part of wealth what Aapa Bi deserves and keeping her in dark, he is using her part of wealth too and forcing them to live in world of miseries and strive for even basic necessities of life. Not only Aapa Bi, but Azam’s father bluffed many poor people and is still living happily. How can Azam tolerate that? With all that in his mind, the outburst came as his reaction.
Halfheartedly, Azam’s father visited Aapi Bi for official proposal of Rukayya and Azam’s wedding. Being loved and pampered throughout her life,Pari felt left out as soon as she got to know that her Rukayya Aapa will be leaving her soon. She felt as if she was betrayed by Rukayya and from time to time,she reacted. Sometimes, it took the form of jealousy that arose in her mind after watching Azam and Rukayya together and sometimes,it was her feeling of loneliness that kept on haunting her that apart from Rukayya, no one loves her and if Rukayya will leave her,she will be dead.
Rukayya statement that she is regretting after getting ready to get married to him,broke Azam from inside. On the other side, Pari also showed unwillingness to come to her dear Aapa’s wedding. Rukayya felt as if she is stranded between the two of them. Neither Azam,nor Pari seemed happy from her- obviously for their own reasons. Her big day turned out even more disastrous when Pari came out wearing bridal costume simply because its her mind that was forcing her think of herself as Rukayya.
Rukayya was apple of everyone’s eye right from her childhood and being with her all the time and not loved by others headed Pari in no other direction but in feeling of sheer inferiority complex. She always wanted herself to be like Rukayya because she is the loved one.For that,she always assumed herself as if she is Rukayya and her assumption started shouting out loud soon after Rukayya got married.
Lagta hai mujh mai woh baat nahi hai,shayed iss lyai dulhan ban kar bhi mai apko nahi samjha paa rahi houn..agar mai bhi wesi hoti tou aap ko mujh se itni shikayatain na hoti..
I loved how Azam’s harshness transformed into showing his longing for Rukayya.Rukayya was wrong that Pari’s mind is still that of a child and she doesnot feel anything – not even feeling of being a girl. Pari takes herself as Rukayya, so she thinks of Azam as her property too. She thinks that its her who got married to Azam and not Rukayya – Rukayya is Pari in her mind. Pari,assuming herself as Rukayya,turned out same way as newly wedded girl acts and its becoming unbearable for Azam to cope up with the situation.
Sajjal Ali is at her best in Sannata even I hated her this week but thats how you feel when someone gets into the character,actually.Danish Taimoor seems a bit too loud at times but again its in the line of his job and requirement of the role.Saba is looking perfect and I appreciate how she gave special attention to her costumes in all phases of her life that are shown.I wonder what would be the ratings of this show if iDream team paid more heed in Sannata’s promotion. Story is interesting,direction is perfect,full marks to whole cast and brilliant piece of artwork. What else a show needs to be at top?
Shauqi’s story will be reviewed with next week’s episode as its already getting so long.. :p
