Ohkay so, these two episodes of Nazr r Bad were a bit on the slower side but that doesn’t meant they didn’t have new developments to their credit. It is actually quite interesting how the course of the drama has changed & now the focus is more on the things Parvez is & will be facing. I actually hope that they also bring the story to that point now where Nusrat & Maham will find out the truth about Parvez & then Almas. So far, it is going quite interesting & has now become one such drama which I discuss with my family over Whatsapp, lol & we all unanimously think that everything that the team of Nazr e Bad has shown so far is convincing & based on reality!

I must say, I really liked how Nusrat tried to show Maham the bigger picture when she found her down & depressed. We actually never get to see such mothers in our dramas who uplift & encourage their daughters to think about shaping their future, that is why when I heard Nusrat saying all of that to Maham, it came as a pleasant surprise. So, Maham is officially out of Aftab’s life & what closed all the doors of hope for her was the divorce & then the final meeting which she had with Aftab where he came to return her belongings to her. I must say, it was another pleasant surprise that Maham didn’t try to take sides with Aftab & didn’t try to rationalize his behavior in front of her mother by defending him, rather Maham held him responsible for his weaknesses & realized that he couldn’t stay true to all the promises that he made to her.

I must say, Salma should be doing a victory dance now, now that her son is divorced. Salma must’ve gotten her son back & she must be thinking that everything is falling in its place but she doesn’t know that her son has almost become an addict. Even though their characters have gone out of the picture but Aqmal’s character was really good, like he was a father, a mentor & a guide to his son, who always made Aftab familiar with all of his wrongdoings. I so wish one day, they all find the actual reason behind everything that they all went through!

So, Aneesa presented a deal in front of Parvez. Even though she knows that Parvez can be of a great help to her business, but more than that, she also knows that Parvez is someone who can do anything for money, that is why without beating around the bush, she offered him such a huge amount to sign a contract of marriage with her. Even though Aneesa tried to put a blame on her husband Shafqat but her single interaction with him put things into perspective that she is the one who doesn’t want to be with him because Aneesa & Shafqat are two different people & more than that, Aneesa is a bit too ambitious & career oriented. At first, she got Hashim divorced so that she can get married to him but now when she thinks her husband might cause harm to her, she decided to use Parvez as a scapegoat.

At first, I wasn’t too sure about Aneesa’s character but while watching these episodes, I understood her importance in the story because if there’s one person who can give Parvez a run for his money, it is Aneesa. Parvez obviously had to agree to the proposal that Aneesa made because it was coming with a huge amount of money but Parvez actually didn’t know that Aneesa is a business woman for a reason & she knows how to play her game. The contract that Aneesa presented came with a lot of conditions which obviously didn’t go well with Parvez as he intends to get married to Maham ASAP but then again, he decided to give it a whirl as he knew he has other ways to save himself as well if things will get a bit too difficult for him!

So, after Iddat, Nusrat once again wanted Maham to mentally prepare herself for another marriage, this was something that I didn’t really like. Of all the people, Nusrat should be the one who should understand what Maham has gone through & she should be wise enough to know that a few months are never enough to heal the mental & emotional damage that a loss of pregnancy & a divorce may cause to a woman. Maham’s stance at that point was definitely right where she clearly told her mother that she wanted to do something for herself, she wanted to empower herself & build self-confidence, which obviously wasn’t going to happen if she’d get married again. I think this is a step that Maham has taken in the right direction. Obviously, things had to be a bit coincidental where Maham landed herself a job in Aneesa’s company. What I like the most about Aneesa’s character is that she does what she deems right, like she is a boss & she doesn’t take orders from anyone, that is why despite being told by Parvez that Maham shouldn’t be accepted, Aneesa personally made a call to Maham & told her to come to the office the next day.

Almas didn’t get much coverage in these episodes & Shazia got way more coverage than required. I know she likes Parvez but seeing her going out of the way for him knowing that she can never have him is something quite hard to believe, like Shazia takes desperation to another level. I am glad that Abeera got her visa & she’ll be leaving soon because her character was unimpressive & unnecessary at that!

Overall, these two episodes were interesting. Just when I was looking forward to how Aneesa will make things difficult for Parvez, the preview suggested that Parvez is going to get rid of her. I wish Aneesa doesn’t die because things just got interesting. All the actors once again did a great job. I must say the stylists have done a commendable job, where they have given each & every character a proper treatment to make their characters stand out, where Aneesa looks like a wealthy business woman, Almas always has a lot of negative energy around her & then there’s Parvez, who has such negative aura about him. The stylists along with the actors made a great joint effort in bringing so much of depth & detailing into these characters which is great. Let’s see what more do they have in store for us. Please share your thoughts about these two episodes of Nazr e Bad.

Ohkay so, like all the previous episodes of Nazr e Bad, these two episodes were convincing & interesting too. It is commendable that even after so many weeks have passed, this drama still has something new to offer every time. I can’t emphasize enough on the fact that the amount of research that has gone into this project is praise worthy. Even though this story has all those ingredients which these days drama-makers resort to in order to grab the ratings but when it comes to Nazr e Bad, the team has used these things to serve a bigger purpose, which is to inform & educate people about the lengths people can go to in order to harm others.

So, just after Maham lost her baby, she wasn’t in her senses anymore. Aftab tried really hard to bring himself to start afresh but seems like Maham wasn’t in her right state of mind, obviously, losing baby was one reason but the main reason was Parvez’s continuous attempts of drifting Maham & Aftab apart. It was actually quite shocking to see Salma using this entire episode to torture Maham further but even though Maham would’ve never done anything of that sort in normal circumstances, she finally decided to stand up for herself. Even though what Maham did was so unlike her but at that moment I felt Salma deserved it, for all the things she has said to Maham all this while & for everything that she put Maham through.

I must say, the way they have shown that it only takes 1 envious soul or only 1 enemy to rip everything apart is eye-opening & shocking at the same thing. Even though Almas is responsible for how she has raised Parvez with so much of negativity & so many complexes but at this stage, Parvez is the real culprit, the actual enemy who has ruined so many lives & has broken a couple of marriages too. The way the drama-makers have covered the entire aspect of how it all started to where it has come to is mind-blowing because no one can deny this reality & I believe so many people can actually relate to the things that are being shown in Nazr e Bad.

So, Parvez knew that he had to give a final blow to Aftab & Maham’s marriage & he decided to turn Aftab into an addict because then Parvez knew that he wouldn’t even have to do anything as Aftab under the influence of intoxication will do the rest. Parvez hit the bulls-eye with this move because Aftab ended up divorcing Maham. It was actually sad to see Aftab turning into such a weak man who ended up succumbing to the pressures & decided to call everything quits. This is another brilliant aspect which has been covered that only a few people are able to take so much of pressure & emerge victorious out of it whereas the rest of them only end up following the lead & lose everything that they have!

Aneesa thinks she has hit the jackpot now that she has found a guy like Parvez who can help her with her business. It didn’t even take a second for Parvez to plant a seed of doubt in Aneesa’s mind against her husband. Even though Aneesa is the one who makes decisions independently but drifting her apart from her husband would benefit Parvez even more because in the future, Aneesa won’t have anyone who’d speak to her against Parvez, may be this was the main reason why he chose to confirm her doubts that she had regarding her husband.

So, now that Maham is divorced, Parvez thinks no one can stop him from getting married to her. I must say the scene in which Parvez goes to the Masjid was executed so well & was probably my favorite scene from the entire episode. It was so obvious that just because Parvez has gone way ahead in this dark path, he was unable to cope up with the energies present in the Masjid & because of that, his heart wasn’t at peace. Parvez was also left speechless when he was asked about his earnings, like even though Parvez has a conscience but just because he has blinded himself in the pursuit of achieving what he wants through black magic, he has no other choice than to just ignore the voice at the back of his head that is telling him that he is wrong.

Another thing that they revealed was about the magicians being unable to have an offspring of their own. This was the detail that they covered in the initial episodes where they showed that Shamsi Chacha didn’t have a child of his own & even his adoptive son wasn’t mentally & physically stable. Parvez actually thought that apart from Maham, he wouldn’t need anything but just the thought of not having a child did shake Parvez a bit. I think it is quite intelligent of the writer & the director where after showing series of mishaps that Parvez has instigated, they are now hinting on the fact that Parvez’s conscience isn’t allowing him to be completely peaceful or satisfied. Initially, Parvez was only focused on bringing Maham into his life that he didn’t really bother about the heavy price that he’d have to pay but every now & then all those thoughts are creeping into his mind where he is forced to think about the things Shamsi warned him about.

Overall, I had a great time watching these two episodes. Another scenario that made a lot of sense was that Nusrat finally got to be at her home because Shafeeq not only left but gave the ownership of the house to Nusrat too so that at least she can have a roof over her head. Now that Maham is divorced, I think it was quite intelligently shown that just in the nick of time, Nusrat got the ownership of the house so that at least she along with Maham & her son Baber can live in the home which belonged to her. At this stage I am not too sure about Aneesa’s track & I wish she doesn’t get a lot of coverage in the episodes to come. Also, I really think it’s about time for Nusrat & Maham to solve the puzzle & find out about the real culprit who is responsible of ruining their lives. I can’t wait for that to happen. I must say, so far each & every single actor has done a commendable job but this week, Sara Khan took the crown for portraying Maham’s anger to perfection, like Sara Khan made sure all the viewers understood what Maham was going through & how she was not herself anymore because of all the things that she endured, it was phenomenally done by Sara Khan. I can’t wait for the next set of episodes already. Please share your thoughts about these two episodes of Nazr e Bad.

Ohkay so, I am so glad with the way the story of Nazr e Bad has unfolded so far. I can’t emphasize enough about how glad I am when it comes to the research that has gone into this project because so far what they are showing us is a true depiction of this subject. I must commend the writer & the director both for staying true to the topic & for bringing it to us in such a convincing manner. What I also love about Nazr e Bad is the fact that every set of episodes bring a lot of new developments with them & nothing seems repetitive or forced. It is quite interesting that they are showing what can be achieved by resorting to black magic & most importantly how, because the rituals that they have shown are enough to shake someone because in reality they are quite horrific & heinous. I really enjoy the pace of the drama but I really don’t want to say that again & again because I feel I might jinx it as HUM Tv Soaps tend to get a little stretched after a certain number of episodes, so I really wish that doesn’t turn out to be the case with Nazr e Bad.

So Abeera got married to Babar & with this, another plan of Parvez became successful because he wanted to bring more & more misery to Shafeeq & Nusrat’s already broken family. It is actually quite realistic how they have shown that Parvez has literally taken away everything from Shafeeq & Nusrat that they once used to have, their peace of mind, financial security & most importantly their bonding & relationship because this way, he is being able to bring more & more misery into their lives. Baber is married to Abeera, who was in love with Ahmer. Ahmer is unable to face his family especially Abeera because even he fell in love with her. Nusrat & Shafeeq got divorced, so Nusrat literally has nowhere to go. Shafeeq isn’t himself anymore & because of that he has committed such a huge mistake because of which he’ll not only lose his job but will become financially indebted too. Maham on the other hand is feeling the brunt of all of this & with that, she is also facing the issues with her husband & her in laws. The way they have built up the story to this point & are now portraying all the problems that Shafeeq’s entire family is facing is quite convincing because when these sort of energies take over, one thing after another starts to crumble & in the end you’re left with nothing. Shafeeq, Nusrat, Baber, Ahmer & Maham, all 5 of them are facing difficulties & are literally clueless about where they can start picking up the pieces from.

Looks like Almas’s family got to know about Maham’s pregnancy a bit too early because considering how Nusrat is so cautious & scared of Almas’s evil eye, she would’ve kept Maham’s pregnancy as a secret, so I am not sure how that news got to Humera who then informed Parvez about it. Even when Maham came to see Nusrat, Nusrat was adamant that Maham shouldn’t taste anything cooked by Almas for her so not sure why didn’t she keep the news of Maham’s pregnancy to herself? The moment Parvez found out about it, I did feel that he is going to make sure Maham loses her baby because that would serve as the final nail in the coffin & both Aftab & Maham would find it hard to start afresh & this is exactly what happened. Maham lost her calm & I am sure Salma would find this as a golden opportunity to throw Maham out of her house. Just because Salma was looking for a reason to prove that Maham wasn’t mentally stable, the way Maham reacted & will continue to react after the trauma that she has went through would make it easier for Salma to convince Aftab that Maham is not sane & he should leave her. Also, Aqmal & Aftab were shown to be worrying about their financial restraints that they were facing & even Aqmal generally discussed with his son that they never faced these sorts of difficulties before, so in the end Salma will once again find another excuse to put a blame on Maham that she is the reason behind all these problems that their family is facing. Everything is not only convincing & realistic but makes so much of sense that just because Parvez wants to ruin Maham & Aftab’s marriage, he is creating such circumstances where Maham will eventually be forced out of Aftab’s home!

So, Parvez decided to teach Almas all that he knows & looks like she is a perfect student that he could ever have because even Almas has brewed so much negativity in herself that she easily got hold of what Parvez taught her. I can’t begin to imagine the way she’d torture Nusrat because she has always hated her & now Almas feels empowered & is supposedly at a good place in her life so she is going to make the most of it. I still am not too sure why Nusrat is choosing to stay with Almas because with her son downstairs, she can easily live in a room there without bothering anyone & without facing her ex-husband Shafeeq. Looks like Shafeeq is now going to lose the job & he will be forced to pay those 25 lacs that he signed the check for.

I really hope Shazia’s character has more to offer than just to hover around Parvez like his well-wisher. Now with her sister getting terminally ill, she herself has seen how dire the situation can get, so I really wish after some time she finds the courage to contact & tell Maham everything that she knows about Parvez because Shazia is the only one who knows that Parvez is the reason why Maham lost her child. I am expecting this much of compassion & humanity from Shazia. Also, I really wish now that Nusrat is living in Almas’s home, she spots either Parvez or Almas performing black magic because no matter how cautious they’re going to be, if someone is sharing your roof, one way or the other they somehow get an idea of all the things that are happening in their surroundings because anyways Parvez doesn’t live in a 10 bedroom house, so Nusrat should easily find out the truth, this is something that I really wish isn’t dragged by the director or & the writer & they bring the story to this point soon enough.

Aneesa surely has a lot of faith on Parvez now & looks like she is ready to protect him in a way that no one can point a finger at him in regards to who is he & what his relation or connection with Aneesa is. Aneesa offering a job to Parvez was basically a well-thought move on her part where she knew that she couldn’t afford to lose a guy like Parvez who can do so much for her business. At this stage, I wouldn’t have found it odd if they had replaced Aneesa’s character with a male character too because in order to keep their businesses intact & prosperous, a lot of businessmen resort to the expertise of people like Parvez as well. I have found all the happenings quite convincing & like I have said before, I completely agree that women are more likely to get involved in these sort of things but to show that so far Parvez only has female clientele is taking it a bit too far, because I feel they could’ve easily maintained a balance by showing a male businessman in stead of Aneesa.

Overall, these two episodes of Nazr e Bad were quite interesting & every single week when the episodes end, I am left looking forward to more. So far, the story has been quite realistic & all the scenarios are quite believable. I must say what I truly appreciate is the fact how they have emphasized on the importance of Namaz/Obligatory Prayers & The Holy Quran, like they have time & again showed that Maham’s husband & her mother remind her to offer prayers thinking it will being some mental peace to her. It is quite nice that they have tried to show that holding onto these things is equally important too. This week around I found Azfar Rehman’s acting quite effortless. I must say Sakina Samo takes the crown for playing Almas’s character to perfection, her body language, her attitude, her expressions, everything tells a tale of how miserable & bitter she is as a woman & now that she has found a lot of power, she is ready to exploit it. Sara Khan was quite convincing as Maham, she actually did showcase Maham’s ordeals & sufferings phenomenally. The supporting cast of this drama has done a great job as well. Week after week, team of Nazr e Bad proves how much hard work they have put into this project & how much they want people to learn from what they are trying to show. I can’t wait for the next episodes, please share your thoughts about these 2 episodes of Nazr e Bad.

Ohkay so, these two episodes of Nazr e Bad were quite interesting. It is commendable that they have so many aspects to cover in the drama that at this stage, the way they are revealing one thing after another is keeping the interest alive in the show. What I like the most about Nazr e Bad is how they have linked everything together, like one thing leads to another & everything falls in its right place. Nothing has been overdone so far & the pace of the show is great too.

So, once again Maham & Aftab’s relation was put through a test because Parvez directed all his evil energies towards them. Aftab realized his mistakes & promised to stand by Maham no matter what & for certain period of time, he proved that he was a man of his words but then, he was able to do that because at that point Parvez was busy focusing on other things, or shall I say that he was distracted, that is why Aftab & Maham got some days off from their problems, but sadly, everything was short-lived because once again Parvez decided to punish them for being together & he succeeded.

Abeera & Ahmer got a lot of coverage in these episodes. Abeera eloped with Ahmer & she took all the money that Parvez handed over to Almas. I am not feeling this entire Abeera Ahmer track but then again, it adds some sort of drama to the drama so it seems justified. To be honest, I find Abeera’s authoritativeness a bit too annoying. Well, the entire scene where Parvez spoke about how deprived he was all his life without money stirred zero sympathy for him but then it gave us an insight into his twisted psychology, personality & all those inferiority complexes that he has harbored over these years. All the things that Parvez said also shed a light on Almas’s upbringing because every single feeling that Parvez was giving words to seemed like a reflection of what Almas has felt & spoken about all her life. Almas was the one who always compared herself & her financial situation with Nusrat, therefore it was imperative for Parvez to absorb all of that & that is exactly why he has turned out to be a carbon copy of his mother because these are all the things that he saw his mother indulging into all his life. It is unfortunate that Parvez has an upper hand at this moment because I can’t wait to see how he & Almas will pay for their wrongdoings!

Salma puts me off big time, not the actress but the character but then again, it is because she is a perfect example of how most of the insecure mother in laws are who always play a double game where they’d taunt & torture their daughters in law but would change the entire scenario when confronted by their sons. Even though I find Aftab’s attitude quite annoying where he sides with his mother & holds Maham responsible for everything but then again, even he is not solely responsible for the way he reacts because he himself is under the influence of Parvez’s blackmagic.

I don’t think Nusrat made the right choice by choosing to stay with Almas, the woman she has hated her entire life & the woman she holds responsible for what she is going through right now. I really hope they don’t drag this scenario where Parvez & Almas will mistreat Nusrat & torture her even more. Even if Nusrat had to leave her brother’s place, she could have spoken to her eldest son Baber because he would’ve arranged everything for her as Shafeeq was also ready to take her responsibility knowing that he wronged her.

Parvez surely has earned himself a loyal client in the form of Aneesa Yazdani because he gave her what she wanted. I think this is another dark secret of the society that the team of Nazr e Bad has tried to unveil that in order to remain on the top, well-established businessmen/women also get involved in these filthy antics & use them as shortcuts. I think at this point, they should also show that some men also contacted Parvez to seek help through his expertise because yes, it is a fact that most of the times women get involved in these things but then again, there are quite a lot of men too who choose this path to achieve what they want.

I really hope that Parvez’s friend who gave her father’s office to him can at least try to help Maham or Nusrat by telling that everything that they are facing right now is because of Parvez because she knows what he is capable of & she also knows that he is after Maham right from the beginning. I so wanted Shahista to tell Nusrat about Parvez but now that she’s out of the picture, the only hope I have is with this girl who can tell on Parvez & get him exposed. Another crucial development this week was Almas’s developing interest in the black magic where she asked Parvez to teach her everything he knows, I can’t even begin to imagine how much destruction Almas will bring when she will form ties with Parvez & they both will become a team!

Overall, these two episodes were interesting & all the developments were convincing. I really wish they maintain the pace that they have kept so far because with Nusrat going to Parvez’s place, I am dreading that things might become a little slow & they might take a lot of time in reaching to the point where Nusrat will find out about Almas & Parvez’s ugly reality & her worst fears will be confirmed. I really wish someone had told Azfar Rehman that he was acting for a Television drama & not a Stage drama/theater because the way he speaks doesn’t seem realistic. Sarah Khan & Ali Abbas have done a great job too & Sakina Samo is so so so convincing as bitter, complexed, complicated & twisted Almas. I can’t wait for the next set of episodes already. Please share your thoughts about these two episodes of Nazr e Bad!

Ohkay so, as always, these two episodes of Nazr e Bad were interesting too. So far, I really like the pace of the drama because every week, both the episodes bring a lot of new developments with them & because of that, there seems to be no margin for repetition, which most certainly needs to be avoided in a drama like this. I must appreciate that the writer & the director so far have stayed true to the subject & that is why everything that they have shown till date makes complete sense & is a realistic portrayal of what actually happens when someone gets involved into all these matters.

So, Ahmer & Abeera got caught by Almas & for the first time, I found Almas fair in the way she dealt with the entire situation because she not only blamed Ahmer, but she blamed her own daughter as well. Obviously, Humaira had to convince her mother to stop blaming Abeera because she knew that by putting the entire blame on Ahmer, they’d be able to pressurize Shafeeq to get both of them married but seems like Parvez had another agenda on his mind.

Parvez shifted to a new place & once again, it seems pretty appropriate for all his rituals because it is already possessed by those who he works with. Parvez has not only found confidence in himself but he has also learnt the art of manipulation because he knows he can play with people’s minds by manipulating them & if that doesn’t work, he has some other tact up his sleeve too. Parvez knew that in order to ruin their lives & to further torture Nusrat especially, he had to use his sister Abeera & get married to Baber & not Ahmer because that will serve as a bigger punishment to the entire family. The way Parvez reacted & tortured Abeera showcased his double standards where he couldn’t stand the idea of his sister being emotionally involved with someone but on the other hand, he himself is after Maham to an extent where he is trying to get her divorced so that he can get married to her!

I found it unconvincing that Aftab was looking for a financial help & he was now pressurizing Maham to seek it from her father Shafeeq. Considering that that Aftab himself comes from an affluent family, should mean that he can rely on his father more than anyone else. Also, his constant reminders didn’t seem justified because Maham kept on telling him that her family was already dealing with a lot of stuff so in this case, in stead of waiting for things to normalize in Maham’s family, Aftab could’ve once again asked his father if he was ready to help him or not.

Shafeeq & Nusrat were the new targets of Parvez & he succeeded in parting them because he knew that just because Nusrat was a staunch & practicing believer, she could bring some obstacles in his way. Parvez knew that he won’t be able to control Nusrat so he decided to part her from her husband because Shafeeq seems to be an easy target. I found it quite convincing how they showed that first Parvez decided to target Shafeeq’s professional life & then his final blow was to ruin his personal life too. So far they have shown all the concepts with utmost accuracy, so I was wishing that the Molvi would tell Shafeeq that he & Nusrat didn’t get divorced as it will be counted as the 1st one as in Islam the actual process of divorce takes place over the course of few months. I am not too sure how I feel about this development in Nusrat & Shafeeq’s track but it was definitely hard to see Nusrat suffering that too when she hasn’t done anything wrong. Yes, a few things might not seem convincing at this point like Aftab’s demand of financial help & Nusrat Shafeeq divorce but yes, if we look at the overall perspective, it is being shown how Parvez is getting them tangled in their problems so much where he is building pressures from every side, be it financial, personal or professional!

We also got a new character & seems like she is going to bond well with Parvez because she intends to use him for her personal agendas. I want really want to see what more does this track has to offer & where will it take Parvez, obviously for now he will make a lot of money but I want really wish it serves a bigger purpose. I am keen to see when Nusrat or Maham will find out that it is Parvez who is behind all the problems that their family is facing & more than that, I am interested to see what solution they will come up with.

Overall, these two episodes were quite interesting & I had a great time watching it, minus those few scary scenes where they showed Parvez’s conversation with the other beings. :/ I will however say that so far Azfar Rehman acted decently but in these two episodes, especially in the emotional scenes, I found his acting quite forced, effortful & unnatural. Rest of the cast did a great job. I am really happy with the pace of the drama & I so wish they maintain this pace till the drama will last. So far everything seems promising & it does make me feel that they have a lot in store for us so let’s hope they keep on unfolding new chapter week after week. Please share your thoughts about these two episodes of Nazr e Bad.

Ohkay so, these two episodes of Nazr e Bad were interesting once again. I am actually quite glad that so far the team of Nazr e Bad has succeeded in keeping things to the point & the focus from the message & the purpose of the drama hasn’t been shifted. It has become one such drama that I actually look forward to every single week & knowing that we have 2 episodes is an added bonus. I must say, the way they have elaborated all kinds of human emotions is commendable because somehow, this is something which helps the viewers in relating to all the characters quite easily.

Shahista finally saved the day. Even though she did what she should have done but I so wish before leaving she had informed Nusrat about her intuition regarding Parvez. Shahista not only apologized to Nusrat but spoke to Aftab too as she knew that she had to make things right. It was good to see that Shahista took the entire blame on herself because in reality, she was solely responsible for initiating the misunderstandings between Aftab & Maham. Nusrat’s reaction was once again quite believable, it takes time to forget all the wrongdoings & it also takes a lot of time in forgiving people who are responsible for those wrongdoings as well. Nusrat didn’t promise Shahista that she would forgive her because she definitely has had such a hard time because of her & seeing her only daughter suffer has definitely made Nusrat a lot bitter against her in laws & she definitely has a reason behind that.

Finally, it was so good to see Aftab treating Maham with love & respect because he understood that he was at fault & he was unable to keep all those promises that he made to Maham before & after their marriage. Salma really needs to back off, it is actually burdensome to see her getting away with anything & everything that she says against Maham. I really think Aqmal needs to give her a reality check because now that Aftab has gotten married, there is no other option left for Salma than to just accept this marriage. It was disturbing to see that Salma wasn’t a fan of the idea that Aftab should apologize to Maham because according to her, this is not something that husbands should do. Anyways, Aftab didn’t pay heed to what his mother said & followed the advice of his father & this time around, it was good to see that Aftab not only decided to make things right, he even acted upon his words & gave Maham the comfort zone she needed.

I am not a fan of Abeera/Ahmer track. Even though it is understandable that cousins who share the same roof do develop some feelings for each other & the drama-makers needed another track just to fill up the episodes but I would hate to see Ahmer creating a havoc in Nusrat’s life that too because of Abeera. Yes, Abeera is innocent & she has nothing to do with what Almas has always felt against Nusrat & now what her brother Parvez is doing but the fact still remains that Nusrat is not on good terms with her family, so if Ahmer will put his mother in an awkward position because of Abeera would definitey be unfair for her as she already has endured a lot.

The entire scenario where someone spotted Parvez carrying out the black magic rituals was quite interesting. Even though I know he is not going to get busted so easily & that too in such an early stage of the drama but still, I really wished he actually faced the consequences for his sins. Looks like Parvez has found himself an avid & blind follower, that is why she is ready to take so much of risk to save him. Even though what they showed was hard to grasp but this is the fact that these days, jealousy can force people to turn against their own siblings, that is why Parvez’s follower (I don’t think her name has been mentioned so far) is not even guilty of the fact that her sister has become a cancer patient due to the black magic as all that she is able to see is dream turning into a reality where she will get to be with the guy she loves, who actually was about to get married to her sister.

I must say, the scene where they showed that someone (Parvez in this case) dug the grave to get the bones was so disturbing but was based on the reality. I must say, the team of Nazr e Bad deserves to be commended for taking the risk of unveiling the darkest of deeds these sick minded black magicians do in order to carry out their rituals. I think this is for the first time that we are actually getting to see a drama which has showcased the reality of these black magicians & the lengths they go to, in such a convincing manner. Also, a little detail that I have noticed about Parvez is that ever since he has attained this knowledge, he has found this strange sort of confidence & that is why his entire attitude & body language has changed. Parvez knows that he is capable of doing anything, that is why he feels empowered & to some extent complacent. This is something which has been conveyed phenomenally by Azfar Rehman so he deserves a special mention for showcasing different shades of Parvez’s personality & his journey so far!

Maham might think that now everything is going to be perfect because she has seen such a nice change in Aftab’s attitude but little does she know that her problems are far from being over because Parvez is still after her. Seeing the blood streaming through the faucet & then misplacing the envelop were just a few attempts done by Parvez to cause some rift between Aftab & Maham but it is good that Aftab understands. Even these are the things that have forced Aftab to do some thinking but none of them has thought about the fact that all these mishaps are not coincidental but are rather planned by some evil sick soul who is after them. I think Maham should have told Nusrat about the blood in her bathroom because I am sure Nusrat would’ve understood that this is not something that just happens coincidentally!

Overall, these two episodes were quite intersting & I had a great time watching it, including those scary bits. :/ All the actors have been performing so realistically that it looks like real life characters are facing all of this & are going through such mishaps in their lives. Sara Khan makes Maham’s ordeal seem real. Azfar Rehman is quite convincing as Parvez, even though in the beginning I found his acting pretty decent but now this new face that Parvez has attained has been portrayed quite convincingly by Azfar Rehman. The supporting characters are doing their job really well too & it is safe to say that Nazr e Bad is a complete package that you can tune to because it had a bit of everything, drama, emotions, thriller etc. I can’t wait for the next episodes already. Please share your thoughts about these two episodes of Nazr e Bad.

Keep Supporting,
