This was another superb episode of Mein Sitara which covered Sitara’s guilt, the change in Farhad’s feelings and Jharna’s journey from being doubtful to being quite sure that there was something going on between Sitara and her husband. Like every other episode of Mein Sitara this one too was a must watch because this is one of those very few dramas which should be followed every week. Every episode adds something important to the story and most importantly the way the feelings of different characters are changing especially in these episodes makes them an unmissable treat.
Farhad was already struggling to contain his feelings for Sitara – something which was quite clear from the scene last week in which he shouts at Jamal for getting too close to her. Farhad was angry after that scene, he shouted at Saleem for the first time because it was very hard for him to come into terms with his feelings. Jharna’s age or her attitude had very little to do with what had happened but it definitely added to the time which Farhad spent away from home and on the sets. Sitara’s confession at the end of the previous episode gave Farhad the license to share his true feelings with Sitara. Sitara expressed her ‘interest’ in Farhad in a weak moment but she wanted to go back to being the way they were before that night. Farhad however is blinded by his fascination for Sitara (I won’t call it love!) and he managed to convince Sitara that she didn’t need to hide her feelings. Mikaal Zulfiqar and Saba Qamar both were beyond brilliant in this episode. The acting of both these actors has been top-notch right from the start but the scenes which we saw today were exceptional.
Farhad, like any other man blames his wife although he knows that he is the one cheating on her. He does not want to feel guilty because like he says to Sitara he has the right to be ‘happy’! Sitara on the other hand realizes that all of this is wrong. The way Sitara’s guilt and confusion was portrayed on screen tonight was absolutely fantastic. The writer and the director both have made sure that they add every little detail which matters. There isn’t a single moment in this drama when you question the motives of the characters or wonder what is going on in their mind. Sitara is attracted towards Farhad but at the same time she does not want to betray her baji.
Jharna was doubting Farhad even when he was not having an affair and even when he had not ‘changed’ therefore I found it really difficult to feel for her! What Farhad is doing is very wrong, no doubt but the fact is that Jharna expected him to do just that! It was almost as if she spent the past few years planning how she would tackle such a situation! She had been planning to fight this battle even when there was absolutely no reason for it therefore I am waiting to see what she does now! Had Jharna trusted her husband blindly and Sitara too, it would have been a completely different story. Jharna’s character is very realistic, there is no doubt about that. She is much older than Farhad and she was always insecure because of her age. Now that her husband is busy with his career, she feels left our and unlike before because she is so filled with doubt she doesn’t even talk about his work the way she used to. I wasn’t however expecting her to leave the city at this point. She has always put her foot down whenever she wanted something and even though she is heartbroken right now, she is still practical enough to do something about the situation.
The scene between Jharna and Saleem was the highlight of this episode; it was very convincing. Saleem had just witnessed something ‘shocking’ and he also wasn’t expecting Jharna to ask him this question therefore that was another shock so he was unable to cover up for his boss! The actor playing Saleem is doing a commendable job, love his get up and acting both. It was also good to see Sitara finally confronting her mother even if it was on the phone. First time around she thought her parents were majbur but this time she knew they were greedy too therefore she said what she had felt all these years but at the same time she knows she cannot back out of this commitment.
The preview of the next episode was dhamakedar. Saying that I am looking forward to the next episode would be an understatement, I will literally be counting days!
Mein Sitara has been very exciting and engaging so far. Like every other play penned down by Faiza Iftikhar this one too is spot on! The writer has covered every little detail and she has etched -out some very interesting characters. The director Seema Taher Khan has put in her best effort which is why she has succeeded to breath life into every scene. Saba Qamar and Mikaal Zulfiqar were the stars of the show tonight. There are very few dramas in which every actor suits the role they are playing and this is definitely one of them.
How many of you watched this latest installment? Don’t forget to share your thoughts about it.
Very interesting!!! All the characters in the play are no longer the flawless people we saw on screen in the first 8 episodes and unlike the last time I enjoyed watching these changes in the characters. There are very few plays in which when characters change for the worse you have reasons to appreciate these changes because it only makes things more interesting. Sitara falling for Farhad was actually a nice twist in the story instead of Farhad pursuing her.
Farhad was like a mystery to Sitara all her life although she spent most years of her life living under the same roof with him but he never acknowledged her presence. Now that Farhad is not only acknowledging her presence but also being possessive about her Sitara finds him more attractive than ever. She has attained the unattainable and it only takes a person with a very strong character to resist such a temptation. Sitara proved today that she wasn’t a strong person, she is very vulnerable and she has forgotten all the promises she made to her Baji. I honestly felt that I would hate everything about such a track but honestly speaking the way everything was shown was very convincing and it is interesting to watch Sitara proving that she really is her father’s daughter! Although she vowed to prove otherwise but some things are beyond your control!
Sitara’s character got a lot more appealing with this episode because there can be so many different reasons why she fell for Farhad and not Jamal. Is it because she never had a father figure in her life – someone who would want to protect her? This is the first time Farhad has fallen for one of his heroines and obviously his reasons might not be as deep rooted as that of Sitara. Sitara is young, pretty and talented and she made it quite obvious today that she too feels something for Farhad. I am waiting to find out how Sitara interacts with Jharna in the upcoming episodes. There wasn’t a single scene between Sitara and Jharna in tonight’s episode because Sitara is too busy on the sets and it is always easier to forget promises when someone is not there to remind you of them! Sitara it looks like is already lost in the world of films and she has left Surraya far behind. I absolutely love Pappu’s character; he has a small role to play in the story but somehow he is standing out already. The perfect and effortless performance given by Adnan Shah Tipu has made all the difference.
I think it is time to say goodbye to the strong and sensible Jharna we saw in the first few episodes for good. Her character was very impressive and very well-balanced but now she is an insecure wife who feels left out all the time! There was a time when Jharna was too busy having and raising kids. She used to be too tired to wait up for her husband or give him the time and attention he wanted but even then she was always a positive influence in his life. She always supported him even when people doubted him, now that he is where he wants to be she has tons of free time on her hands and is worried sick that he will fall for one of his heroines. I still remember the few conversations between different people which hinted that Farhad married Jharna because he had some vested interests but until now Farhad was faithful to her. This new development with Sitara however might prove to be the final nail in the coffin. It would be nice to see Jharna tackling her insecurities in some other way instead of complaining all the time. Now that she has a reason to doubt her husband, her character might seem more ‘reasonable’ in the next episode.
Nasim Dil Ruba is not out of the picture, which is also a nice surprise. She has not managed to bag any quality projects therefore she was seen employing different methods to get Sitara out of the film so that she could be a part of it again. This was another development in tonight’s episode which gave a very realistic touch to the whole story.
This episode was beautifully directed and I found the latest developments in the story exciting which is not how I was thinking I would feel! The credit for that goes to the writer for penning down such interesting characters which are human, the director, for doing complete justice to every single scene and most certainly the actors for giving some remarkable performances. Saba Qamar is amazing as Sitara, Hassan Ahmed and Meera are picture perfect in every scene. There were times in tonight’s episode when I thought Mikaal Zulfiqar’s performance was not up to the mark but on the whole he has given a brilliant performance. Those people who don’t get to watch this drama on the television are missing out on the experience because watching Mein Sitara on the television screen is a completely different experience. I would give full marks to the stylist and the make-up artist for giving everyone the perfect looks.
Quite contrary to my expectations, I loved this latest episode and can’t wait to see what happens next!! I am sure there are many people out there who are very disappointed with Sitara but honestly speaking if Sitara did not get involved with Farhad the drama wouldn’t have been this exciting!

This first episode was gripping; it definitely managed to hold my interest and made me look forward to what is in store in the upcoming episodes. Anyone who was waiting to watch this play probably already knows that this drama is set in the 60s and the story revolves around the Pakistani film industry. All the primary characters in the play which are going to be a part of it right till the end were introduced in tonight’s episode. Farhad Sethi (Mikaal Zulfiqar) is a renowned television director who is stepping into the world of films. I must say that in this very brief first episode Farhad’s private life along with his work life was covered flawlessly. Farhad’s love for his wife Jharna (Aisha Gul) was shown in the very first scene but at the same time the gradual shift in his priorities was also covered in a very subtle manner. Jharna feels that her husband is not as excited about their third child as he was about the first two. The obvious reason for this was that Farhad was clearly ‘distracted’ because he is very enthusiastic about his first film. He also mentioned that he did not want another child. Farhad fell in love with Jharna the star and he wants to use her talent even now, he cannot see it going to waste.
Different conversations in this first episode and the portraits/pictures on the walls suggested that even though Jharna Begum is no longer a part of the film industry but she was a super star at one point and she still has a much bigger name in the industry than her husband. Jharna Begum was a multi-talented star who people admired not just because of her talent but also because of her wisdom. The conversations in the party went to show that people were more enthusiastic about the film because Jharna was in some way associated with it and not because of Farhad Sethi. Farhad also relies on the advice of his wife. Farhad might be a big name in television but Jharna is the star when it comes to the world of films. Jharna however has left all the fame behind, she is hopelessly in love with her husband and wants to focus on her family. The way Jharna’s standing in the world of films and her personality in general along with references to her physical strength were conveyed to the audience through different conversations definitely added to the overall impression of the character.
The characters and story of Surraya’s household was introduced just as seamlessly as that of Jharna and Farhad. Surraya’s character instantly caught my attention. Although every girl this age is impressed by glittery things but Surraya is different because even at this tender age she knows how to manipulate situations to her advantage. Surraya has a mind of her own and she knows exactly what she wants to do to keep herself happy. The second she walked into Jharna’s house she knew that if she pleases the woman of the house she will be able to gain access to television, music and make-up!! In a short span of time Jharna started trusting Surraya so much that she asked her to look after her kids when she was leaving for the hospital and later on too she trusted her with taking care of her and her kids. Surraya in return got exactly what she wanted! Surraya is a little girl with a big personality who definitely won me over. Surraya’s parents especially her father however had a different agenda when he figured out that he could easily get his hand on some expensive jewelry and flee the scene.
This first episode was extremely refreshing; it had a completely new feel to it and the direction was absolutely brilliant. Every scene was well-conceived, to the point and most importantly highly creative. None of the scenes had a been-there-seen-that feel to it which was definitely something I had been waiting to see in a drama. The makeovers were spot on and the acting by all the actors including the children involved was top notch. Aisha Gul was truly impressive in this first episode, she managed to bring out all the shades of Jharna’s personality – the person she was when she was alone and the star she is when she is among people – beautifully on screen. Her acting was effortless and she definitely made her presence felt. Watching Mikaal Zulfiqar in a different get up was also another plus and at least in this episode his dialogue delivery gave me nothing to complain about. The child star playing Surraya deserves special mention here because her confidence and acting both blew me away!! I think Faiza Iftikhar is finally going to give us a story we have all been waiting for – something new and entertaining. Loved the kind of Urdu that was used in this episode. I really like the OST as well because it is completely in line with the main subject of this play. The director successfully managed to transport me to another world through this episode and I really did not want this episode to end. It is very rarely that you instantly connect with all the characters in the very first episode but for me this episode managed to do just that. I also loved the way the credits rolled in the end, everyone from the director to the sweeper was mentioned in them.
The preview of the next episode showed that Surraya’s parents will leave her behind because they wouldn’t have been able to flee with the jewelry if they took her with them. Although Farhad thinks Surraya is involved too but Jharna will protect her. This is how Surraya will start living a new life, away from her family but with Jhankar Begum and very close to the world of glitz and glam!

Directed By: Badar Mehmood Written By: Zanjabeel Asim Shah Produced By: Big Bang Entertainment Schedule: Every Monday at 8:00 PM on ARY Digital
I recently made the decision to start watching “Mein,” mainly because of its current status as one of the most widely-watched dramas. I have often found Zanjabeel Asim Shah’s scripts to be engaging, particularly in the initial stages. With this in mind, I held onto the hope that, at the very least, the first few episodes of this drama might prove to be engaging, even if the rest did not measure up later on. Initially, I wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about watching “Mein” because the promotional material seemed to hint at Ayeza Khan portraying a character similar to the one she portrayed in “Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua.” Nonetheless, curiosity eventually got the better of me, and I decided to jump on the bandwagon. After watching all the episodes that have gone on air till now, I must admit that “Mein” has left me underwhelmed. Without going into the intricate details of the storyline, I am going to share my thoughts on the most pivotal aspects of the drama till now.
First Impressions
The opening episodes of “Mein” relied significantly on what could be termed the ‘shock factor.’ It was apparent that the creators of the show strategically designed these episodes to grab the viewers’ attention. This strategy wasn’t executed in an entirely original manner. In fact, the prominent theme of a public divorce scenario bore a striking resemblance to the signature style of Khalil ur Rehman Qamar. The parallels between “Mein” and “Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua,” were hard to ignore and served as the first major disappointment. This resemblance to Khalil ur Rehman’s style not only detracted from the originality of “Mein” but also left me wondering if the drama might struggle to establish its own unique identity and narrative voice.
Since Mein promises to be “a dramatic story of two strong-headed individuals who end up crossing paths due to being unlucky in love while facing family and societal pressures”, The writer wasted no time in setting the stage for this plot. The differences in Mubashra and Zaid’s personalities were well established from the start. The focus on class differences was also quite obvious from the beginning. The execution of numerous scenes throughout this first episode left much to be desired, prompting critical scrutiny of the overall production quality and direction. One noticeable aspect was the inconsistency in the visual and emotional delivery of pivotal moments. While some scenes carried immense potential for emotional impact, they often fell short due to issues like awkward camera angles, poorly timed transitions, or lackluster lighting. This inconsistency disrupted the flow of the narrative and detracted from the intended emotional resonance, leaving viewers wanting more in terms of visual engagement.
Mubashra’s Show
It is evident that Ayeza Khan takes center stage in “Mein”, making it essentially her show. However, the critical question that arises is whether both Ayeza Khan, in her portrayal and the writer, in crafting the character, managed to do justice to the role. Up to this point, viewers have primarily seen Mubashra’s dominant “mein,” characterized by her egocentric personality. This character, regrettably, appears rather one-dimensional, lacking the layers and depth that could make her more compelling. This brings to mind Sarah Khan’s character in “Sabaat,” where a similar dearth of complexity left viewers wanting more from what could have been a more multifaceted role.
Despite numerous episodes and an intense focus on Mubashra’s character in “Mein,” I continue to struggle with establishing any meaningful connection with her. Mubashra defies easy classification as a narcissist due to her remarkably straightforward demeanor. Rather than exhibiting the nuanced traits often associated with narcissism, she appears, without subtlety, as someone thoroughly spoiled and desperately in need of discipline. Furthermore, the egocentric facet of her personality remains disappointingly unexplored, leaving viewers yearning for more.
Similar to Miraal’s character in “Sabaat,” Mubashra’s inner turmoil, struggles, conflicts, and even her inner dialogues remain shrouded in mystery, offering viewers little insight into her psyche. It’s disheartening to observe this recurring pattern in Pakistani dramas, where central characters like Mubashra lack the depth and emotional complexity that could make them more relatable and engaging. While Miraal in “Sabaat” at least had a semblance of an emotional connection with her father, Mubashra’s relationship with her father lacks substance altogether. This absence of even a hint of humanity in her character makes it particularly challenging to endure her toxicity onscreen. It raises the perplexing question of why “Mein” continues to be one of the most-watched dramas despite its central character’s lack of depth and relatability.
Ayeza Khan as Mubashra – What’s lacking?
The ongoing debate regarding Ayeza Khan’s suitability for the role in “Mein” raises valid concerns. One thing that’s apparent is that Ayeza may not have had sufficient material to truly sink her acting prowess into. The primary issue lies in the character itself, which is inadequately developed, lacking the intricacies and depth necessary to challenge an actor.
Ayeza Khan has always been committed to crafting the perfect appearance for her on-screen characters. Since Mubashra is a rich spoiled brat who likes to be praised and adored, Ayeza Khan has invested a substantial amount of effort to embody these traits visually. Her meticulous attention to makeup and wardrobe selection stands out without a doubt. However, it is important to note that there have been instances where it was a little too obvious that Ayeza was somewhat uncomfortable in the outfits she wore. This discomfort occasionally overshadowed her performance and became a noticeable distraction.
This transformation process, while impressive in terms of fashion aesthetics, seems to be veering towards resembling a fashion showcase more than a genuine effort to breathe life into her character. The emphasis on style over substance makes this character even more superficial. Balancing the visual appeal with the essence of the character is crucial to create a truly impactful performance. In short, despite her considerable efforts, Ayeza Khan falls short in terms of commanding a compelling presence on screen.
Zaid and Ayra’s Feeble Love Story
Just like Mubashra, Zaid is also a one-dimensional character. At first glance, Zaid’s character traits may suggest that the viewers should fall for him instantly. He embodies qualities that typically garner empathy and affection, such as kindness, sincerity, and a good-hearted nature. However, despite these positive attributes, something seems to be lacking in the execution of his character that prevents him from fully capturing the viewer’s heart. Furthermore, the chemistry and interactions between Zaid and other characters may not have been adequately explored. Dynamic relationships and meaningful connections can often breathe life into a character, making them more captivating to the audience. If Zaid’s interactions with other characters were more intricately woven into the storyline, it could have allowed his likable qualities to shine more brightly.
Zaid and Ayera’s relationship stands as the most important element of this particular storyline, serving as its central and most crucial element. However, despite its pivotal role, their relationship has completely failed to leave a lasting impression on me. Similarly, Zaid’s relationship with his sister and father has not been explored properly. One significant factor contributing to the lackluster impact of their relationship is the absence of a strong emotional connection. While the narrative may hint at the potential for deep feelings or a significant bond between Zaid and Ayera, the execution falls short of translating this potential into a palpable and resonant connection. Also, Wahaj Ali and Azekah Daniel’s pairing lacks on-screen chemistry. Chemistry is a pivotal element in portraying a convincing and engaging romantic relationship, and when it falls short, it can hinder the audience’s investment in the couple’s journey.
On paper, Ayra’s character is poised to be a symbol of empowerment but her on-screen portrayal falls short of conveying the dynamic and compelling essence that one might expect from such a character. Instead, she often comes across as, for lack of a better word, ‘plain’ in her presentation. Azekah Daniel’s portrayal lacks the “x factor” that elevates performances from ordinary to extraordinary. Beyond the performance aspect, a noticeable shift occurs in the lighting and overall ambiance of the drama whenever the focus shifts to these characters. For her character, Ayra’s appearance could have achieved a harmonious blend of simplicity and refinement, sidestepping any potential pitfalls of coming across as excessively mundane or forgettable. The person in charge of Azekah Daniel’s look definitely failed to strike that balance.
Weak Supporting Characters
The drama serial “Mein” suffers from the unfortunate drawback of featuring a supporting cast that can be described as both lacking in intelligence and failing to capture interest. This issue with the supporting characters significantly impacts the overall viewing experience, as they play a pivotal role in shaping the narrative and enhancing the main storyline. Just like the main characters these supporting characters also lack depth to the extent that they often come across as stereotypical and even ‘dumb’. The fact that this drama does not have a single supporting character that stands out or is likable pretty much says it all. Also, I would like to mention here that a veteran actor with a great personality such as Usman Peerzada is being wasted in this role. Shahzad Nawaz left me in awe of his screen presence when he played the lead in Ishq Mein Teray a long time back but now he seems to be focusing more on his looks than his performance. I sense that he’s already being typecast as the wealthy father devoid of any distinct personality traits.
Final Remarks
“Mein” failed to hold my interest or pique my curiosity due to its underdeveloped and unattractive characters, along with their relationships that lack depth. The excessive focus on toxic elements is off-putting, and the drama is burdened with an overabundance of stereotypes. Throughout these 6 weeks, not one scene or scenario has left a lasting impression. The disappointment extends even to the production values and overall execution, giving rise to the impression that an undue amount of attention has been given to Mubashra’s scenes. It is as though the lighting and camerawork used to enhance the overall visual quality were disproportionately focused on Mubashra’s character, leaving the remaining scenes bathed in a completely distinct and less appealing ambiance. This disparity in the allocation of resources for visual presentation becomes all too apparent when scrutinizing the production as a whole.
“Mein” is undoubtedly one of the numerous popular dramas that don’t provide much substance but manage to secure high ratings nonetheless. I am pretty certain that the negativity exhibited by these characters will only escalate in the weeks to come. Will “Mein” turn out to be another “Balaa”?
These two episodes also covered more of the rishtas and family dynamics. Nain’s character and the way Zahid Ahmed has translated it on screen continues to be the only likable aspect of this drama. Nain took the lead throughout and once again proved that his physical disability was no match for his mental strength. He does not lose his grip over things and even when he is not in control he knows how to turn things around some way or the other. Saira’s character has been written well, it isn’t entirely clichéd but Sanam Jung’s dialogue delivery adds extra bechargi which is not needed at times. Sanam Jung has failed to highlight the strengths in her character. All this talk about rishtas for four weeks now has been monotonous but I am definitely more interested in the Nain/Saira track particularly because of Nain and Zahid Ahmed. Neehat on the other hand is a weaker character, which is why we didn’t see him pursuing his case the way Nain did.
Nain and Saira
Although Nain is receptive and intelligent but even then he failed to understand that Saira does not like him the way he does. This entire development however was shown quite convincingly. Saira has always been going to him with her problems, he has been in love with her for the longest time and now that he sensed Saira’s sadness, he thought that getting married to her and being her companion would be the best ‘solution’ to all her worries. Saira’s discussion with him about feeling worthless ended up making him think that she needed rescuing.
Nain is also very sure that he is quite capable of making Saira happy and obviously has no idea that Saira loves someone else. The only aspect of this entire development which wasn’t the least bit convincing was that Nain’s mother was never told that Neehat liked Saira and wanted to marry her. Saira on the other hand felt offended by the proposal and she felt that she lost the one friend she had. I also liked the way she told her father what she wanted and expected from him and everyone else. It is definitely good to see Saira voicing her true concerns every now and then but like I said, Sanam Jung has underplayed this character to the extreme. Even when Saira is shown taking a stand for herself and her mother she sounds extremely scared, this character should have been portrayed on screen with more confidence.
Neehat and Saira
Saira was eventually pressurized into saying that she did not like Neehat and was not interested in getting married to him. Neehat was shown trying to persuade his mother to let him meet Saira whereas Nain did so with a lot more confidence without thinking twice. I am thinking now that Affan Waheed’s look goes well with his character since he has been shown as an immature man who is hopelessly in love but is quite helpless.
Final Remarks & Preview
Nain has my undivided attention and I am hoping that Saira will not be turned into a bigger bechari. The character itself has potential and I do feel that Nain can prove to be a good husband if Saira gives him a chance. The dialogues covering the character assassination of Saira’s mother are just plain annoying and extremely repetitive. But I guess this impression will ultimately determine Saira’s destiny. The preview of the next episode showed Saira’s daadi catching her ‘red-handed’ and that would probably be the reason why she will be forced to marry Nain. I am waiting to hear Saira’s reply and wondering if Nain will figure out that Saira does not want to marry him. Zahid Ahmed is the star of the show and he makes this show worth watching otherwise everything else about this play is pretty average.
Do share your thoughts about these episodes of Mein Na Janoo.
It was quite clear after watching the first episode that the story wasn’t going to be exciting but I have to say that after watching this second episode, I am more disappointed with Sanam Jung’s monotonous dialogue delivery and expressions than anything else. She owns the becharapan but she has completely failed to add that extra bit of personality to this character that could have made it more interesting since Saira’s character has different shades. This second episode was just as simple as the first one with some dialogues which were clichéd to the core.
The Rishtas & The Majbooris
This episode of Mein Na Janoo covered how Neehat’s mother told Saira’s daadi just how chalak her granddaughter was but daadi’s reaction was quite thanda considering how her character was introduced initially. Zulqarnain’s mother too pleaded her son’s case but he was rejected on account of his disability with the daadi pointing out that she was not going to marry any of her grandchildren to Saira. Zulqarnain’s confidence continues to be the only unusual and relatively more interesting part of this drama so far. Saira backing out, resigning to her fate and Neehat’s promises were two most important developments tonight yet they had no impact. Farah’s helplessness and meekness is annoying. I am finding it really difficult to feel for her. So far, I don’t feel any kind of connection with these two women or any of the characters with the exception of Zulqarnain.
Zulqarnain comes across as someone who will do whatever it takes to have Saira in his life but his fixation with Saira makes one wonder if this really is love or something else. His conversations so far suggest that he thinks that Saira too likes him and he does not see being blind as a handicap. His mother’s constant reminders however come across as strange and insensitive. Zulqarnain is a strong man who has certain regrets in life but the most important aspect of his personality is hat he does not like to depend on others for anything. Neehat and Zulqarnain have no idea that they are in love with the same woman – that is a scenario we have seen many times before too in our dramas.
Tonight, all the conversations revolved around marriage, love and deprivations. The way Saira walked out of the house and reacted when her mother asked her to take permission from her daadi showed that she still had the confidence to do a few things her way but could never imagine telling everyone who she wanted to get married to.
Final Remarks
Am I the only one who feels that so far in this drama, the dialogue delivery of most of the actors is painfully slow? I have to say that this episode was slightly better than the previous one and right now Zulqarnain’s character and Zahid Ahmed’s performance is the only aspect of this drama that makes it bearable. Sanam Jung really needs to up her game when it comes to acting otherwise she should go back to hosting shows. Her masoomiyat and becharapan is really convincing but Saira’s character I believe has much more to offer. There were many scenes tonight which had a fake and staged feel to them. Hopefully, things will get more interesting once some of the side characters are out of the picture and there is more focus on Zulqarnain and Saira.

Scehdule: Every Tuesday 8pm HUM
I must say that I did not have huge expectations from this serial especially after watching the promos but even then I felt that this first episode was too plain, stereotypical, clichéd and unappealing. After watching this first episode it isn’t very difficult to predict how the story will progress in the next few weeks. I am however hoping that it will get more interesting and hopefully will have some surprises in store in the upcoming weeks. The overall execution of this episode was not impressive either and some of the scenes were repetitive.
The Characters & The Main Theme
Since this is Sanam Jung’s comeback serial therefore her character and performance mattered more than any other. Saira’s character is as typical as it gets and her overall situation even more so. This character gave me Romaissa vibes and Sanam Jung’s performance was just as plain as the character itself. There wasn’t anything new about her styling and overall look either. The fact that Saira not in a position to take a stand for herself and her step-sister Kiran (Komal Aziz) has her family’s support makes it easier to guess where the story will go from here. The only mystery element in this first episode was the background of Farah’s (Huma Nawab) story and how Zulqarnain lost his eyesight. Farah’s majbooris, her becharapan and the fact that she was completely resigned to her fate was overemphasized in this first episode. All the primary characters were introduced without any ambiguity in this first episode but none of these characters were ‘new’. Also, the scenes too had done-to-death written all over them.
Affan Waheed’s look for this drama will probably with time grow on me but for now he looks too much like a pappu bacha but not young enough to pull it off. Zahid Ahmed’s character (Zulqarnain) was relatively more interesting and intriguing. Few of his dialogues suggested that he had a strong personality and he was very sure about what he wanted from life. His strong likes and dislikes were also highlighted through different scenes. There are many characters which will be playing the role of the zalim samaj and it already felt like Farah and Saira against the world kind of a situation. A saas who belittles her bahu every chance she gets and makes her work like a slave, a husband who couldn’t care less and is too busy with his second family and a phupi who thinks Saira is not good enough for her perfect son. We will probably be watching Saira and her mother sacrificing a great deal in the upcoming weeks because they simply don’t have a choice.
Final Remarks
This wasn’t the kind of first episode which gives you a lot to say or talk about. The characters were pretty simple and the scenarios too were nothing out of the box. My guess is that this is going to be yet another complicated yet typical love triangle with family dynamics playing a major role. This first episode revolved around marriages more than anything else in some way or the other instead of relationships in general which in my opinion gave it a very typical feel. The writer and the director played it safe, a little too safe in this first episode therefore there were no flaws or glitches in it but that is the exact reason why this episode was also not appealing.
Do share your thoughts about this first episode of Mein Na Janoo.

The promo of the drama serial Mein stirred a debate amongst the audience. The drama viewers are now predicting the end of the drama. Many viewers don’t want Mubashira Jaffar to settle down with Zaid because according to them, MJ doesn’t deserve a loser like Zaid. A large number of Ayeza Khan and Wahaj Ali’s fans want Zaid and Mubashira to end up together.
A few fans also showed their anger with the writer for not showing a romantic plot between Ayeza and Wahaj. There is a strong fan base of Ayra and Zaid too who want them to end up together. Many fans are of the view that the real villain of the drama was Mr. Asif who destroyed Ayra’s home but faced Karma in the form of his daughter Kashmala. Fans are also loving Mubashira Jaffer’s character evolution. Many fans are of the view that Zaid doesn’t deserve to be with either MJ or Ayra; he should be left alone.

Today marked the airing of the last episode of the drama serial “Mein.” Fans didn’t like the abrupt and incomplete ending of the show.

Fans are expressing that the ending of “Mein” proved it to be the worst show that aired in recent times on television. Most of the viewers are saying that the writer and the makers didn’t follow the feedback of the fans, and that’s why they ended it in an absurd manner.
“Mein” viewers are sad for Mubashira Jaffar because they wanted a happy ending for her. Fans are also not happy with the character of Ayra.

A few fans pointed out the flaws in the drama, including the scene of Mr. Asif when he didn’t clear his position in front of Zaid. Fans are saying that Mr Asif should have told Zaid about Ayra’s plotting against him.
A social media user wrote, “After reading all the comments, I will not watch the last episode because it will spoil my mood.” Another social media user wrote, “The ending was unexpected. I thought Zaid would understand Mubashira; at least she has done everything to make him happy, but somehow things didn’t go well. I feel sorry for MJ. Also, Ayra was the one with ‘Mein, even with Zaid’s father. After all, the story was all about Ego (Mein)”. Another viewer wrote, “Having a fabulous cast doesn’t mean the story will be good, I got this lesson after watching the drama ‘Mein’, disappointed with the ending; didn’t understand what they wanted to show.”. According to the fans, it was an incomplete ending and it requires detailed conclusion to all plots. Read the comments:
Mein viewers loved the brilliant acting of Ayeza Khan and Shahzad Nawaz. They also liked Wahaj Ali and Azekah Danial’s acting skills.

In the most recent episode, Mubashira and Zaid got married, but their wedding night took an unexpected turn when Zaid walked away from her as he was not agreed to marry Mubashira but ended up marrying her. Things got even more chaotic when Mubashira, who happens to be Rayyan’s assertive sister, disrupted his wedding night and pressured Kashmala to contact her brother Zaid. She sat on Rayyan’s bed and said, “I am not going anywhere, contact Zaid, keep on calling him”. Here is the video link shared by fans:

Fans found the whole situation hilariously entertaining and have praised Ayeza Khan for her excellent performance in these scenes. Read all the comments:
Zaid and Mubashira are moving forward in their marriage together in very complicated circumstances. Mubashira is the one who has sacrificed a lot till now just to save her marriage and make Zaid happy. With Ayra not giving up on her ego, Zaid now has a visible tilt towards Mubashira. Fans have been rooting for Mubashira since her transformation and everyone wants to see her happy as well because Mubashira never did anything wrong overall.
Looks like happy days are ahead for Mubashira and her fans as Zaid is now openly showing his tilt towards her. Episode 23 saw Zaid coming to spend time with Mubashira which was a massive win for her after all she has done. Fans are excited to finally see Mubashira achieve something that she was working for. Ayra is even more frustrated now and she may keep her stubbornness intact.
Mein is a drama that is solely revolving around Mubashira Jaffar and her aura. Yes, Ayeza Khan has nailed the look and the mannerisms of her character. She is doing a great job as MJ and fans are noticing it in each episode. Now that Zaid aka Wahaj Ali is married to Ayra aka Azekah Daniel, Mubashira is moving forward to snatch him back from his second wife. She has completely transformed herself and she looks like a different person than who we saw in the very first episode.
Ayeza Khan is rocking it and her new schemes are proving fruitful overall. Zaid is recognizing her sacrifices and all she has done for him. Her father making her the owner of all the shares in Zaid’s company put another dent in Ayra’s independence streak. She was able to irritate Ayra while keeping her cool.
The audience is loving Mubashira Jaffar and they all want to see her win in the end. Here is what they have to say:
Mein is a drama that has been getting a very high viewership and ratings, all thanks to Mubashira Jaffar and her antics. Ayeza Khan has nailed her character while all other characters in the drama as well as the story have annoyed the viewers multiple times due to dragging. The story has finally moved on and Zaid has two wives. Mubashira is playing her cards closely while Ayra has turned into a weird character. She has married the guy responsible for her only brother’s death and she still wants to play a victim and punish his first wife for some reason.
Mubashira is doing everything in her power to make Zaid happy and Zaid as usual looks confused and weak. Now, Ayra does not want Zaid to talk to Mubashira and also wants Mubashira to send reception invites for her husband’s second marriage. Ayra also keeps crying while she enjoys all the riches bestowed upon her by Zaid’s family.
Viewers are super irritated by Ayra’s behaviour and this is what they had to say:
Mein was pitched as a highly intense drama and seeing Ayeza Khan and Wahaj Ali in the lead cast made everyone happy. Ayeza Khan as Mubashira Jaffar has been arrogant, indecisive and somewhat lame, given the power and privilege she has, she only wants to get married. Zaid on the other hand is always busy pinning for his fist love and he still married Mubashira without giving Ayra a chance. Ayra played by Azekah Daniel only wanted to get to Zaid at first and now looks confused about what she actually wants in life.
The latest episode finally saw the big development as Mubashira made arrangements for Zaid and Ayra’s wedding and she made Asif Sahab attend his son’s second Nikkah. Ayra for some reason now wants to look like a gold digger while Mubashira is not winning from any angle as she got her husband married just to not get called a divorcee again. Here it must be added that Mubashira’s father and brother were standing with her.
Mein viewers are now feeling sad for Mubashira as she did not really do anything evil. Here is what people are saying:
Mein is Ary Digital’s famous drama serial. The drama has been produced by the Big Bang Entertainment Productions. Mein airs every Monday at 8:00 PM on ARY Digital. The drama has been directed by the ace Pakistani television director Badar Mehmood. It has been written by the brilliant writer Zanjabeel Asim Shah. The producers of the drama are Fahad Mustafa and Dr. Ali Kazmi. The cast of the drama features Ayeza Khan, Wahaj Ali, Azekah Daniel, Usman Peerzada, Shehzad Nawaz, Aijaz Aslam, Agha Mustafa, Nameer Khan, Sabeena Syed, Alizay Rasool, Rohi Ghazali, Shiza Khan. Mein is the story of the two strong-headed individuals Mubashira and Zaid.
This Monday, episode 16 of the drama serial Mein aired on Ary Digital. The drama viewers are annoyed with the stagnant and boring storyline of the drama. Many fans are saying that the drama makers sold the drama by showing Wahaj Ali and Ayeza Khan as the romantic main leads but they wasted them in the drama as all they are offering is Ayra and Zaid’s unconvincing love story. Fans are also not liking the extremely negative and cunning character of Mubashira Jaffer.
Fans expressed that they started watching the drama for Ayeza Khan and Wahaj Ali’s romantic scenes but there are no scenes of them together. Fans are also saying that the drama will soon drop the trps if they keep on focusing on Ayra and Zaid’s love story. Fans are also saying that the acting in the drama is over the top. A few viewers are of the view that Ayra and Zaid’s story has more potential but there has been no on screen chemistry between them. They are also saying that the drama makers are giving air time to the side characters more than Mubashira. They are also not happy with Mubashira and her father in law’s unnecessarily plotting and interactions. Read the comments:
Mein starring Ayeza Kha and Wahaj Ali is getting millions of views. It is a different stry and it is difficult to completely sympathize with any character in this drama. Ayeza Khan is playing Mubashira and she has nailed the ego of the charater while Wahaj Ali as Zaid is not too positive either. Things are moving forward in the drama as Zaid and Mubashira are married now.
In the recent episode, we saw Zaid being rude and arrogant towards Mubashira. Zaid is being very disrespectful and Mubashira is not able to handle him at all but she does not want a divorce right now. Arrogance and egos are flying high in Mein and fans are also having double thoughts towards things that are happening.
Fans are divided as many think Zaid’s behaviour is unjustified while others think he is being rude now. Many also compared Zaid with Meerab from Tere Bin while Mubashira is Murtasim in this case. Here is what people have to say:
Mein starring Ayeza khan and wahaj Ali is doing great on the TRP charts and YouTube views. Ayeza Khan is playing Mubashira Jaffar and the obsession she has shown in the character is quite visible. Ayeza has designed the look of her character and she is putting her efforts so that Mubashira stands out. Zaid played by Wahaj Ali is a bit understated for now and people wnt to see more from his side.
Last night, we saw a lot more of Mubashira. She was controlling her brother’s life while Zaid was nowhere to be found. Ayeza Khan wore Mubashira like kaftaans and her makeup and hair was done to perfection in each scene. She once again showed how aggressive Mubashira can be with everyone and kept her tantrums going on.
Mein fans however were not too happy with Ayeza Khan in this epiosde. Maybe because Mubashira is screaming in every second episode and Ayeza has to say the same dialogues every time. Whatever may be the reasons, this is what the internet had to say for Mein episode 10:
The new drama serial Mein is Big Bang Entertainment presentation. Mein will be aired every Monday at 8:00 PM on ARY Digital. The drama has been directed by the ace Pakistani television director Badar Mehmood. It has been written by the brilliant writer Zanjabeel Asim Shah.

The cast of the drama includes Ayeza Khan, Wahaj Ali, Azeekah Daniel, Usman Peerzada, Shehzad Nawaz, Aijaz Aslam, Agha Mustafa, Nameer Khan, Sabeena Syed, Alizay Rasool, Rohi Ghazali, Shiza Khan. Mein is story of two strong-headed individuals who end up crossing paths due to being unlucky in love while facing family pressures.
Today, the most awaited first episode of Wahaj Ali and Ayeza Khan starrer ‘Mein’ aired on ARY Digital. The story of the drama serial ‘Mein’ revolves around an egoistic character Mubashira who loves to have a control over everything. Well, the viewers watched the first episode of the drama serial Mein.

Mehwish Hayat is a stunning and versatile Pakistani actress, model and a singer who started her career many years ago and today she is considered to be one of the superstars of Pakistani Showbiz Industry. Mehwish made everyone proud by receiving the Tamgha-e-Imtiaz for her phenomenal performances she has done till date.
Recently, the ever gorgeous Mehwish Hayat turned to her official Instagram handle to share some of her sizzling pictures with her fans and followers. The pictures shows Mehwish relaxing in front of a lake, while wearing a bold sportswear outfit, have a look!
Right after Mehwish’s pictures started circulating on social media, Mehwish Hayat became the new point of contention for social media trolls. The netizens bashed the actress for her immoral dressing. Here’s what audience had to say!
Mehwish Hayat has transformed a great deal when you compare her with how she looked when she entered the showbiz industry. Mehwish Hayat’s looks have undergone a massive makeovers and it is plain to see that Mehwish got plenty of surgeries done to look more attractive. Mehwish was always a confident woman who wanted to make it big in the industry. She has made a big name for herself in a short span of time. She very often is in the middle of controversies as well but she is not afraid of what people say. Mehwish Hayat faced a lot of criticism when she received Tamgha-e-Imtiaz but she did not let this criticism stand in her way. She was seen contributing locally and internationally to social welfare apart from excelling in her own field. Mehwish Hayat’s critics became her fans and even now Mehwish blames people’s mindset more than her own action for not accepting what showbiz personalities do in the name of entertainment.
Mehwish Hayat’s Surgeries
Mehwish Hayat, like many other Pakistani celebrities has changed her looks to look more attractive. When Mehwish Hayat joined the industry she looked entirely different from how she looks today. Here is a before and after picture which shows clearly that Mehwish Hayat turned to surgery to fit in to the modern definition of beauty. Mehwish Hayat firstly changed the appearance of her looks through a relatively common and simpler cosmetic procedure. When she entered the industry her lips were not as conspicuous as they are now, something which is really obvious in these two before and after pictures.
Big lips are in fashion which is why most celebrities nowadays get lip fillers. This is a trend which is followed globally and clearly Pakistani celebrities are not lagging behind. The change in Mehwish Hayat’s looks after getting these lip fillers wasn’t too dramatic and the real transformation came when Mehwish Hayat decided to get fillers injected in her cheeks as well. This is another procedure which is relatively common. Through this procedure the cheeks are lifted and this gives the face a more chiseled and defined look.
Mehwish Hayat had a skinny face which most often is the case when someone is as smart as Mehwish is. If we look at the before and after pictures it is apparent that Mehwish Hayat got cheek fillers to make her cheek bones high. This surgery changed the appearance of Mehwish Hayat’s face altogether and was a game changer.
Mehwish Hayat and Huda Kattan
When Mehwish Hayat was in New York promoting her film Punjab Nahi Jaungi, she was given some of her best make-up looks by one of the leading make-up artists there who has also given Nargis Fakhri some of her most amazing makeovers. In these makeovers, the make-up artist used Huda Beauty products and some of the looks Mehwish sported in these promotions made her look a lot like Huda Kattan. Huda Kattan too is continuously changing her look and she also gets cosmetic surgery done on regular basis. Whether Mehwish Hayat made her look like Huda on purpose or not, she sure did look a lot like her. Huda Kattan is a big name in the cosmetic industry. Anyone who follows her will know that Huda didn’t always look like this. Just like Mehwish she too worked on herself and even now she gets cosmetic surgeries done to look younger and more attractive.
Later on in Mehwish Hayat’s web series Enaaya Mehwish Hayat’s overall makeover once again made her resemblance with Huda Kattan even more obvious. While Huda wears heavier eyelashes, Mehwish prefers eyelashes which look natural but if we look at these two then in some pictures this resemblance is too striking. These pictures here are a proof of that.
When Mehwish Hayat was getting these makeovers done in New York some of the blogs even posted news pieces saying that Mehwish and Huda might be working in some capacity together but that never materialized. This turned out to be a rumor but this rumor only started because Mehwish’s make-up artist drover a great deal of inspiration from Huda Kattan. These pictures of Mehwish Hayat and Huda Kattan prove just that!
In all these pictures both these celebrities are seen sporting different make-up looks and different hairstyles yet the similarities between them cannot be overlooked.
Few More Before and After Pictures
It took a lot of experimenting for Mehwish Hayat to get to the point she is today. It started with experimenting with different colors of lenses, then make-up looks and eventually with the right kind of hairstyles. It can safely be said that Mehwish Hayat has taken some inspiration from Huda Kattan which does not come as a surprise since these two do look similar after getting the cosmetic surgeries done. While Huda Kattan openly accepts the fact that she gets these procedures done, Mehwish Hayat has never talked about it for obvious reasons.
Here are few more pictures of Mehwish Hayat before and after the surgery which make it quite clear that Mehwish Hayat definitely got these procedures done and she has greatly changed her styling over the years.
Mehwish Hayat was not the only Pakistani celebrity this year who was awarded Tamgha-e-Imtiaz but she is the only celebrity who had to face serious backlash for it. Tamgha-e-Imtiaz literally means medal of excellence, it is the fourth highest award in the civilian sector. Any celebrity who receives this award naturally is recognized as a class apart, someone who has proved his/her mettle in their respective field. It is obviously a great honor for any celebrity to be given this award. Some of the most veteran celebrities have not been given the Tamgha-e-Imtiaz even though they have contributed a great deal to the entertainment industry. This should have been a proud moment for Mehwish but it was turned into something entirely different because of the reactions by the public.
Why Is It Controversial?
It all started with an article on a popular website in which the reasons behind Mehwish Hayat getting this award were questioned in a way which wasn’t acceptable for Mehwish Hayat. When she decided not to ignore these accusations and replied to this post, she definitely did not expect the kind of criticism she had to face in the days to come. Mahira Khan along with many other celebrities supported Mehwish Hayat and there were many celebrities who thought that Mehwish Hayat was being targeted because she was a female. Considering the fact that Mehwish Hayat was not the only female celebrity who was given this award, it is safe to say that this argument is completely baseless.
The only reason why this award turned into a huge controversy was because majority of the people think that there are actors who are more talented then Mehwish Hayat and they have contributed more to the entertainment sector hence they were more deserving. The first argument therefore is that Mehwish Hayat simply does not deserve this award because she has not done enough to reach those limits of excellence.
The second biggest reason why this award became controversial is that Mehwish Hayat did not sit back and listen to the criticism silently. When Mehwish decided to answer back and use whatever means she could to garner support for herself things turned even more ugly. Choosing to ignore the criticism and the accusations wouldn’t have been easy but if it was done then the negativity would not have been highlighted the way it was when Mehwish decided she needed to do something about it.
This is not the first time that a female celebrity’s character has been questioned by the public but this time, the timing has been such that it has been more talked about and conspicuous.

Talking about performing Billi, Mehwish Hayat said, “It was enjoyable and fun to perform in Billi, and the result was amazing. Although I was tired and bruised while doing it, I was also nervous. But when I went to the location and saw the people and the setup, I was amazed. It was my transition from dramas to films, and it was a bold move. It could have gone wrong as well, but I knew one thing — that I had a film face. Javed Sheikh once told me this when I was doing a drama. Fizza and Nabeel approached me after watching my performances. I did it, and it turned out to be the best decision I ever made. Fizza and Nabeel made sure to execute it in a way that made it look like a proper part of the film and it really looked like the gangsters party scene after success.”
Fahad Mustafa also revealed, “We were only reacting to her dance. The real performer was Mehwish Hayat, and she was perfect. Let me tell you an interesting incident — the owner of the Billi shooting location fell from a height while watching Mehwish Hayat perform. Obviously, it had such a spark that he literally fell while watching it.” Watch here:
