Khud Parast Episode 1 – Story Review

Introduction:

Ohkay so, the writing of Radain Shah, direction of Aabis Raza & production of Big Bang Entertainment; Khud Parast is a prime time drama that commenced on Saturday on ARY Digital. The first episode was detailed & established the plot pretty well. I had a great time watching it & definitely looked forward to the next episode when the first episode of Khud Parast ended.

Main Characters & Plot:

Uswa (Ramsha Khan) is a confident & independent girl who always does what she feels like. Uswa along with her sister Maria has been raised like that by her mother who believes she has to support her daughters every step of the way. Uswa also has 2 brothers Ehsan (Saife Hassan) & Omar, they both are married & their wives feel that Uswa & Maria get unnecessary edge & a bit too much of freedom for their own good.

On the other hand Hannan’s (Shehzad Sheikh) household was introduced – they are shown to be practicing Muslims who hold onto their values & norms a bit too much. Hannan’s mother (Asma Abbas) is a conservative & rigid woman who believes in controlling her family members. She is looking for a girl for Hannan to get married to & that is when she stumbles upon Uswa & her mother in a clothing store. Hannan’s Sister in law (Nosheen Shah) is a subdued person who does what her mother in law tells her to do. Hannan does feel that even his niece Hooriya is also growing up to be like that but Hooriya’s mother tells him that is only because of her surroundings. Hannan who is accustomed to this environment does not really understand what his sister in law is trying to say & doesn’t also put much thought into it.

Maria is engaged to Rameez & they are just about to get married. Rameez’s friend Adeel gets to have an interaction with Uswa & kind of likes her attitude where she does not pay much attention to him. Adeel is shown to be a playboy who has had quite a lot of affairs in the past. I have a feeling that Adeel might be Hannan’s younger brother, let’s see.

Closing Thoughts:

Overall the first episode of Khud Parast was interesting & pretty decent. They are slowly building the curiosity & it is obvious that Hannan’s perfect-looking family is full of dark secrets & the writer will show how religious households are regressive & oppressive. I hope to see a balance being maintained without making things a bit too black & white. It is good to see Ramsha Khan in non-smokey makeup, even though in this drama again she has relied on a lot of makeup but the overall look isn’t too heavy or glam, which is good to see. Everyone’s acting was decent & so was the direction. Please share your thoughts about the first episode of Khud Parast.

Keep Supporting,
Cheers,

Khoya Khoya Chand Episode 1 and 2 – A Tragic Start

0

 

This serial revolves around three characters as we have all seen in promos.Coming towards the formal introduction Aarib( Ahsan Khan) comes from a family that is based in Islamabad. For job purpose,he moves to Murree and visits his parents weekly. Like other ordinary days, one fine day when he was about to begin his journey for Islamabad,he came across Ahmereen (Maya Ali ) for the very first time. And his love story began with the famous phrase of ” love at first sight“.

Presentation1

 

Aarib,by nature, sounds very quiet and mature kind of person but after having his encounter with Ahmereen,he was all lost. Whereever she goes,he started following her. From markets to her hostel,he spends every moment with her but Ahemereen was totally unaware of the fact that Aarib is following her like crazy man.And who can forget that Salman Khan’s incident ,when Aarib came to know that Ahemereen likes Salman Khan too much, he started following his styles for her. And that Ahmereen .who always adored everything related to Salman Khan,when saw Aarib from behind (wearing Salman type of clothes)  laughed out loudly.

Slide2

This clearly depicts that styles that famous artists carry sounds truly amazing till we watch them onscreen. In real life, they look more then pathetic.. I mean,seriously, who would like to wear a shocking pink shirt that Salman Khan wears and parrot green kurta(Sanjay Datt’s style) in real life.I know, I know ,there would be some people among you who won’t agree with my point still I will stick to the fact that there is no need to follow everything that is in fashion. Adopt what that suits you and what that you can carry easily.

Talking about Anganbeen (Sohai Ali ), she was seriously in love with her cousin who got engaged recently and now she is getting depressed day by day. She tried to sort out all the matter by meeting her cousin.But her meeting was useless as her cousin chose his mother’s love and sacrifice instead of his own.Poor Angabeen returns home hopelessly and tell her parents that she is ready to get married to anyone that her parents want.

On the other side, Ahmereen leaves Murree and Aarib searches for him for whole month.As, all Aarib knows about Ahmereen was her name and her hostel address,so, he visits the hostel along with his friend but it was also of no use.In the meanwhile, Aarib’s mother get a serious injury on her foot and Aarib blames himself for that.He keeps on thinking that if he was with his parents ,who are all alone, this could never had happened.

Confused in his thoughts, he decides that he will choose his parents prosperity instead of his own one sided love. He decides to get married and the girl to whom he got married was Angabeen.Twisting part of the story  comes when Ahmereen comes and introduce herself by saying that “Dulha bhaie mai houn apke aklauti saali ” .

Presentation1

That was the time when Aarib got completely shattered. He felt as if he was the unluckiest person on earth and discusses the same thing with his childhood friend who consoles him and make him realize the real fact.Halfheartedly, he goes to his room where Angabeen was sitting completely lost in her thoughts and on getting Kangan as gift,she returns him by recalling the past with her cousin and saying that she doesnt wear Kangan.

Presentation1

 Now plot is revolving around Aarib and Ahemereen’s relation.Everything is going fine between Angabeen and Aarib but whenever Ahemereen and Aarib come across each other, Aarib feels so much uncomfortable. And for that Aarib refuses to go to the dinner at Angabeen khala’s place.

Episode 2 ends when Aarib decides to go to the dinner when Angabeen was already gone after taking permission from him and as he opens the door , Angabeen was asking her cousin to talk to her by holding his arm strongly. Let’s see what will happen next..

Till then

Cheers,

Khoya Khoya Chand – Episode 4

0

This week’s episode had so much to ponder upon.First and foremost, the relation of Aaarib and Angabeen and secondly Ahmereen and Farooq’s issue.

Firstly,I would like to put Angabeen and Aarib relation into limelight. Angabeen is wholly and solely trying to make her relation stout with Aarib. She is giving her best to give Aarib a glance that this relation can be as much sturdy and strong as any couple’s relation. On the other hand,everytime she tries to move one step ahead of her current situation, she gets badly seized by those memories of Farooq that left a mark on her mind for lifetime.

Aarib is equally giving an effort to extract the best aspects out of him for Angabeen. As for him,Angabeen is a pure sole and she deserves to be loved and cared. His solicitude ,always leaves Beena in an uncomfortable situation because according to her,she is not doing justice to Aarib’s soulful emotions.

There are many Aarib and Angabeen in our society who are married and are forcefully put into such situations. All they have to do is just to forget the past and move on with life. Never curse yourself for what you have done in past because your past can’t come back. A person only ruins his present by abhorring and detesting himself for his past. Past is past , you can’t change it. Try to face the reality. I know it would be difficult in the  beginning. Try to convince yourself that you have to live with it and if this is your fate than why not accepting it and welcoming it with gratitude ?  Once you are done with accepting the fact, life will be no more a series of disgust for you.

Coming to Ahmereen and Farooq’s relation, they are good buddies and more than that they are cousins. But keeping the scenario in mind, they come from a generation where a girl and a boy’s ultra-frank attitude towards each other is not at all considered to be vicious. Similarly, their parents and other elders came from a generation where moral values and ethics are there life time achievement.

Now for our generation, this point was lame that how can an engagement be broken up for this reason that they are good buddies. But seriously, every fiancé is over protective about one’s partner and what Farooq’s fiancé did was not at all new. Par engagement torr daina was not a sensible act.

His to be father-in-law- could have listened to what they wanted to explain but he did not.Now, Ahmereen will be considered as culprit of whole stance.

Preview of next episode was really interesting as Beena will now attempt to contact Farooq again.What will be the future of Aarib and Beena’s relation? To know this and many more,keep on reading.

Khoya Khoya Chand – Episode 3

0

Well, this episode was all about Aarib attempting to avoid Ahmereen. Aarib and Angabeen share a nice bond. Despite of all this, everytime Aarib comes across Ahmereen, he feels so much uncomfortable and to keep himself away from her, all he do is to speak to her as much badly as he can. His attitude is not at all liked by Ahmereen and for this reason she has now developed a sense of enmity for him.

Unlike typical husbands,Aarib did not take it seriously when Ahmereen asked her Khala about Angabeen and Farooqs marriage. But Farooq took it seriously and advised Ahmereen that she should be careful while choosing her words before speaking.`Her this statement could have arose a serious problem for them but luckily,it did not.

It is natural that if somebody is all over you then even if we try not to think about that particular person, our mind leads us to the hallway of one`s thoughts and imaginations. So was the case with Aarib but every time he thinks of Ahemereen , his prestigious relation with Ahmereen comes in his mind and he recollects himself strongly.

Another noticeable part of today`s episode was Farooq and Ahmereen friendly attitude with each other. In this society of ours, friendly relation among cousins is seen with pessimistic eyes. Now, everyone is arising questions regarding Farooq and Ahmereen`s relation though they don’t have any feelings for each other. Ahmereen`s happy-go-lucky nature will lead her towards some serious trouble someday.

Considering the fact that Farooq and Angabeen were once interested in each other, Angabeen is feeling guilty as if she is betraying her husband. I really liked Aarib`s loyalty towards Angabeen and vice versa as they both prayed to Allah to keep themselves away from doing such acts that can ruin their marital life.

Anagbeen and Aarib will be living all alone in Murree now. I am waiting for the episode when Aarib will get completely recover from Ahmereen`s thoughts and will live wholly for Anagabeen.Else, there could also be some twists and turns in this serial that are still unfolded.

Khoya Khoya Chaand – The Winds of Change

0

Finally, we are coming across few developments in the storyline. Ahmereen refused to go with Farooq due to sheer patriotism filled to the fullest in her. Farooq doesn’t want to compel Ahmereen to go to Japan with him without having mutual consent with her and for that he asked her to meet him. As soon as she saw Farooq, she started yelling at her and without allowing Farooq to utter a single word,she announced her final decision that she, herself, isn’t ready to get married to him.

Then comes Farooq and Beena’s discussion where they made everything crystal clear for us to understand and for Aarib too as he listened everything ,of course aimlessly, when he was about to enter Beena’s house.

Aarib is one of his own kinds who can apply rule of “Forgive-and-Forget” to anyone who curses him and leave him in a situation difficult to handle. Being an eastern husband, his reaction to the situation which he faced was commendable. Instead of squabbling, he convinced himself to stay calm and quiet. and for that when Beena asked him to stay and don’t go away, he stopped promptly.

Beena’s uneasiness and Farooq’s concern for Aarib and Beena’s marital life was clearly illustrating that they are expecting the unexpected from Aarib.  It was Aarib’s greatness that he was sitting and listening Beena when she went along with Aarib. Else, men of our society are very reluctant to talk about such matters once they come to know that there wife is/was having affair with her own cousin.

To untangle the matter, Farooq decided to meet Aarib and when they met I was surprised to hear Aarib’s point of view. He was still concerned and had no question on Beena’s character. He was better understanding the situation maybe because he went through same phase in his recent past and still trying to get out of mental trauma in which Ahmereen left him.

Beena’s parents are still confused that what made Beena to go with Aarib without even bothering her to tell them that she is leaving. Beena made it clear to her parents that she is happy and there isnot anything going between her and Aarib the way they are thinking.

Lucky Beena felt proud to have such and understanding husband. Undoubtedly,  Beena was luckiest of lucky and blessed one that she got Aarib as his husband because he not only accepted her open-heartedly but also made her comfortable by saying that he won’t tell anyone about this matter.

Things started to settle down between Beena and Aarib. Aarib cares for Beena and Beena is now valuing every large heart giving that he is immolating and showering on her.

Preview of next episode has forecasted the turning point of this show. I never expected this show to head in totally different direction. While giving birth or after giving birth to her child, Beena will die. And as my instinct says, Aarib and Ahmereen will get married. Let’s see whether my prediction will live up to the mark or not.

Do give your feedback about today’s episode.

Khoya Khoya Chaand – The regret

0

Today’s episode had nothing new to offer once again but there are a lot of things that are required to be discussed and ponder upon . Right from the first scene where Beena was asking her parents to  say a big NO to khala jaan on Ahmereen’s proposal,I thought that Angabeen will lie about Ahmereen. Her parents asked her whether Ahmereen has issue with this marriage or not? Thankfully, Beena didnot lie and tell them truth that she even don’t know about proposal. This clearly depicted that Beena is not in state of enmity, instead, she can’t see her sister getting married to the person whom she loved throughout her life.

Two sisters share beautiful onscreen chemistry and there every minutest concern narrates that they are completely sincere, faithful and loyal to each other as far as siblings relation is concerned. I am happy with fact that siblings rivalry issue has not been raised in this very serial too. Because with it, this serial would have become some typical serial.. wesai hai tou abhi bhi.. still its better..

Due to Beena’s pathetic expressions (I don’t like her expressions today ), her sister guessed that there is something going between Aarib and Beena due to which Beena is upset.She discussed this scenario with her mother too. Like all other mothers,at first ,Beena’s mother said same words, Abb tum mujhe wehem mai naa daalo. But as soon as she heard beena’s call when  Beena asked her  while crying that she want to visit her.Beena’s mother discussion with Ahmereen that she was right put Ahmereen on fire and she went to Beena’s place. I really like how situation turned out and everyone was laughing instead of having some typical gharailoo laraie jhagra.

Ahmereen and Aarib’s part was well directed. From that horn to Ahmereen afraid look on hearing dog bark, all went really well. On serious note, Ahsan Khan and Maya Ali look really nice as a couple.I hope that they will get casted in some serial as a couple very soon.

Beena’s state of continuous tension is an alarming situation for her marital life.Since Farooq broke up his engagement,she is no more interested in Aarib.All she is thinking about is Farooq and that will pay her off soon. I also found that Farooq is not at all interested in marrying Ahmereen and so was Ahmereen but they have to do it for the sake of their families.With every passing day,Beena is regretting that why she got married so early ?

One thing that is being adored by me is OST of this serial.The lyrics,music and video create a very different aura and I always enjoy watching its OST. Overall, this serial has bunch of some really good looking artists, nice locations and very soothing music that makes it liked by everyone warna story is not that much engaging.

Will Ahmereen be able to find out Beena’s hidden secret? Will Ahmereen and Farooq get married?  All of answers will be given in next couple of episodes.

Khoya Khoya Chaand – Is Angabeen feeling guilty ?

0

On serious note ,when I came across the promos of this serial ,I found it very attractive and expected it to be a very nice story with perfect direction. After all it is directed by Faheem Burney and we have very high expectations fr0m him after Yahan Pyar Nahi Hai and then Tanhayi.

Faheem’s specialty is that he pays pure attention to locations and I admire this approach of him because our country is not at all deprived of natural beauty.All you need is to put some effort in going and managing to make a serial with beautiful outdoor locations. This will not only help in getting a great viewership of serial but also help out Tourism sector to grow economically which is the need of hour.

Anyhow,I am not at all finding this serial engaging right from the beginning but this episode somehow managed to grab my attention. Beena tried to break up Ahmereen and Farooq’s engagement by hook or by crook.But she was badly failed in every step she took and she finally gave up in breaking up this engagement.

2 3  She asked Farooq to go out of her life so that she will be able to compromise with the situation she has been put in. She is right at her place that if Farooq will live infront of her as her brother in law,how will she be able to forget everything.She is ready to forget everything but not at the cost of letting her sister get married to Farooq.

4

On the other side,Aarib is feeling lonely without Beena. Poor Aarib, keeps on thinking about Beena without having any negative thoughts for Ahmereen. He is not taking much time to move on with his life as compared to Beena. From last couple of episodes,Beena made every situation to be more complex and intense and there was a time when I thought that this marriage will no longer exist. But it was Aarib ho sorted every possible way out and made it work for them. There wasnot even a slightly little effort from Beena’s side except for one episode as far as I remember.

1

 Beena is realizing that Aarib is an extremely caring and loving husband.Apart from that,she has also developed a sense of respect and care for him as he is the one who was always there for her even at worse times when she was letting him down.

And now when Beena is ready to go along-with Aarib, Beena’s mother is asking her to stay at her home. I wonder why Beena is not speaking up and telling her mother that Aarib is extremely nice and caring husband and he is not at all the way she and Ahemreen thinks of her.It is th fruiot of all the ambiguities that were developed by Beena in heart of her mother and sister merely for Farooq.

5

Poor Aarib didnot give any clarification every time he comes across such type of situation neither he ask for any explanation form Beena’s side.So far, 9 episodes of this serial have been aired and it was dragged slowly and worsly. I hope when Aarib will come to know about Beena’s reality ,he will accept her. But this wont be the story I guess. Whatever will happen, I need a strong turn in this story as I can’t sit through one more episode of this serial anymore.

Stay Blessed,
Rabia Basharat.

Khoya Khoya Chaand – Episode 5

0

Well,on serious note, I am unable to make up my mind to sit for another episode of this serial.Last couple of episodes have made this drama serial quite dull and boring.

Story is revolving around Angabeen and Aarib relation again and again.. or wohe Bina and farooq ka relation.While on the other side,just like last episode Aarib is making up his mind to stay away from Ahmereen but every time he come across her or just hear her voice, his nostalgia was there to haunt him.

p1

Poor Aarib’s efforts failed once again.He asked Bina for dinner and shopping. She was happy that Aarib has no issues with her and so was Aarib.And then after hearing news about Farooq,she was completely shattered. She was feeling disgusted at her own fate. It was Farooq because of which she agreed to get married to Aarib and now he is single again. Kaisai karti bardaasht phir..

As we know,our Sohai Abroo always perform to perfection  whenever it comes to sad roles.Yahan par bhi she was looking and sounding  more than perfect.

p3In this episode,we also came across of the fact that why Ahmereen and Farooq issue was given importance and was put into limelight. Mamoo jaan appeared to be such a stubborn person whereas Farooq was also considering this matter as his insult and for that he was reluctant to patch up with his ex-fiancé.

Attitude and behavior of Farooq’s mother is beyond my level of understanding. Firstly, she appeared to be detesting Ahmereen and suddenly she asked Bina’s mother for Farooq and Ahmereen’s marriage. How come ? I know that its Farooq because of whom questions were raised on Ahmereen character and Khala is feeling pity on Ahmereen ,still, it was such an abrupt change in Khala. Yahan par write up fail ho jata hai.

p2Aarib is giving his 100 percent to be a perfect husband and for that when he saw Beena sad,he asked her immediately. As soon as he came to know that his wife is sad because of her family,he asked her to go to Islamabad to meet her parents. Beena is not at all valuing her husband’s pure concern for her and she will have to pay for it very soon when Aarib will come to know about her attempts to get Farooq even after getting married.

p4How can Beena tolerate her sister as wife of the one she loved throughout her life. For that and many more, she is completely against this marriage and is making efforts to convince her parents to say a big NO to Khala g.

Next episode’s preview is sounding a bit interesting as I can smell two sisters rivalry in it.

Let’s see what happens next.

Rabia Basharat.

Khoya Khoya Chaand – And stubbornness continues..

0

So far,we came across compromising aspect of Angabeen. But from last couple of episodes, it can be easily observed that Beena is not what we thought of her, she is totally different. And I must say that difference in Beena’s attitude is primarily because of farooq and Ahmereen engagement plans.

1We have seen in last episode that how Aarib is attempting to forget his past and trying to move on with his life but Angabeen is the one who has changed her attitude completely in reverse direction,ofcourse.Ahmereen came to stay with Angabeen and Aarib and to know why Beena is always down. Sadly,this part is poorly directed and we,viewers,were incompletely unaware of what Ahmereen told her mother regarding Beena and Aarib’s relation.And then Beena got the good news that she will be a mother soon. That news made her happy for a while and then she was back to her previous mood with 180 degree change.As soon as Beena came to know that Ahmereen has no issue in accepting farooq as his husband, she started to stop Ahmereen from getting married to Farooq with every possible way.

2

I hated this thing of Beena that she didnot hesitated to put everything on her husband infront of Ahemereen for the sake of rejection of Farooq’s proposal.I must say that a faithful woman shouldnot do this for her man, neither portray her man to be worse husband nor should she be unthankful to Allah Almighty for bestowing His blessings upon her.Beena is playing with her life and she will have to bear the consequences soon.Despite of the fact that I hated Beena throughout of episode,she was looking really pretty at Ahmereen’s engagement.

3

Whole episode revolved around one single demand of Beena that she dont want to go with Aarib.Poor Aarib was unable to figure out that what is the reason behind it. And even after asking her again and again,he was asked to keep his mouth shut (ofcourse indirecty) that Beena feels depressed as and when Aarib leaves her alone at home and her situation supported this lame excuse of her.

4

Misunderstanding between Aarib and Beena’s family also developed only because of Beena’s silly demand.She wanted to live in Islamabad only because of breaking up Ahmereen and Farooq’s engagement.

Aarib left Beena with a hope that she will be fine soon and will return back to home.But preview of next episode is depicting something else.Fuss will be created and Beena will be asked by her mother infront of Aarib to stay in Islamabad at her own mother’s house.

Are you finding this serial engaging or not?

Khawar was a guest on Wasi Shah’s show and spoke about society and the industry’s revolution. He also spoke about how our stars behave in public and he had an interesting observation to make on the award show outfits of the Pakistani actresses.

Khawar Riaz Criticizes Pakistani Actresses

Khawar said that he sees all the actresses wearing these western gowns on the red carpets and they keep speaking in English. They should be considerate of their audience and should try to represent them more than trying to impress the international audience. He added even foreigners respect our culture when they come here therefore the audience sensibilities should be considered. This is what he had to say:

Khawar also spoke about how he did not get married as he did not feel any need for a life partner. By the time he figured out who he was as a person, he felt complete in himself. He also did not want any kids so he never opened this chapter of marriage.

Khasara Episode 7 Review – Below Average!

Ohkay so, another week, another average episode of Khasara. I for once do not understand the unnecessary focus, did I say unnecessary, focus on Sila’s beauty because I really rub my eyes, blink hard but still fail to see what they want me to!

Sila has not only succeeded in having Mohtasim’s sights on her but it seems Linta’s unmarried cousin who was hopelessly in love with her just a couple of episodes ago also started picturing himself with Sila, despite knowing that she is a mum of 2. It was funny that Sila turned out to be the reason why that cousin got excited for moving back to Pakistan? Desperate alert!

Mohtasim started playing mind games with Linta only to have her appoint Moanis as his secretary, so that he can keep his sights on Sila & often meet her as she seems to mindlessly open the doors of her home for him. Linta despite having issues agreed because she could see that her husband was so-called struggling with the work load. I must say I couldn’t really believe that Mohtasim, after being caught with Arzoo at her place was still casually taking her name in front of his wife, that she shouldn’t have fired her in haste? Matlab dhitai to khatam hai in pe! & what was even more bizarre was that Linta didn’t seem to mind at all?

Ahzar happened be another predator who tried his luck on Sila, the beauty queen!?!?!?!?! Moanis’ reaction was natural & justified, he served Azhar what he deserved but I was shocked seeing Sila’s calm after going through something so disgusting. Yes, she was upset but she bounced back pretty quickly & went back to being her usual, normal, stupid self & she was once again being chummy with Mohtasim, the guy who has already held her hand indecently once or may be twice. At least they should have shown that Sila grew a little uncomfortable around men after what just happened. The way Azhar treated Sila, it should have come as such a huge shock for her to at least take some time to recover but it looked like she forgot all about it the next day.

Sila’s rants & incessant nagging about wanting a better lifestyle has become monotonous to the point of being annoying. Also, the dialogues coming from Sila suggested that she wouldn’t mind playing with the fire as she might then name it as something she did out of curiosity for it. Areeba said the right thing, Sila is lucky to have a husband like Moanis but she wouldn’t understand, obviously Areeba does because she has to deal with a loser like Azhar who is good for nothing but has a huge ego!

I must say, the way these ladies rub their husband’s egoes is weird. Areeba continues to blame herself for not being able to have a child while completely ignoring the fact that her husband is not an ideal man to have a child with because he won’t change even after becoming a father. Simiarly, Linta thinks being overly affectionate to the point of being clingy to Mohtasim will keep him away from cheating on her whereas she doesn’t know that he has moved on from Arzoo pretty quickly & is now stuck at Sila. Very average story & the characters are below average! Please share your thoughts.

Khasara Episode 6 – Review!

Ohkay so, this was yet another average episode of Khasara with Sila on the loop about wanting the best for her boys & Mohtasim scoring brownie points in front of Sila Bhabhi while having weird thoughts about her as well!

Sila & Moanis are not on the same page anymore. Moanis has tried to make Sila understand that they have everything to lead a decently comfortable life but Sila doesn’t buy that. Sila uses her kids’ name to convince Moanis that whatever he does is just not enough for them but in reality, it is Sila herself who isn’t happy or satisfied. If she was, she would’ve been thankful for all that Moanis does but she just wants more & more.

I fail to understand how come a mother of two grown up kids is such a dim-wit that she couldn’t decipher the subtle hints of Ahzar. Again, I couldn’t help but notice how much effort was put into making Sila look like a hoor pari that every other guy around her is going bonkers for her despite the fact that she is a mother of 2 kids!?!?!?! I really believe these guys need to book an appointment with an optician. Anyways, Areeba continued to rub Azhar’s ego & I still fail to see the importance of their track let alone their characters. Just a forced bechari & forced zalim shohar!

Mohtasim has really made an impression on Sila that is why more than relying on her husband, she is relying on Mohtasim, be it for her husband’s better future or her kid’s medical condition. Sila’s rants about her gaaon wali life & raves about sheher wali life are monotonous & torturous!

I thought Linta will draw some lines & teach Mohtasim some lifelong lessons but the best she could come up with was an idea that she will hire a male secretary for her tharki husband? Lol! Anyways, we all know that place will be filled by Moanis which will give Mohtasim a fair chance to stay in touch with Sila, plus his Sila bhabhi also wouldn’t mind since she is in such an awe of his perfection! Linta also decided to pay Arzoo so that she stays away from Mohtasim, is it just me or the ladies in this drama are mentally challenged? Both Sila & Linta? Surprised to see such a writing from a female herself! Anyways, please share your thoughts!

Khasara Episode 5 – Review!

Ohkay so, this episode of Khasara was pretty basic with nothing much happening in it apart from Sila’s constant nagging.

Sila returned to her town after getting treated nicely by Mohtasim & even Linta. Linta chose to see Moanis & Sila off on a good note because she just wanted to get done with all this as she had an important matter to take care of.

Ever since Sila returned, she couldn’t stop talking about how perfect Linta & Mohtasim’s life & relationship was. Sila wants Moanis to do well, she does say that she wants the best for her children which to be honest seems like an excuse. Sila herself is quite greedy, yes there’s a difference between dreaming big or positive & being downright immature, greedy & unthankful. Sila wants a luxurious life & with Moanis, that is so not going to happen, that is why she doesn’t even respect him.

Arzoo was still hovering around & I find it funny especially now that Linta herself saw everything that happened at Arzoo’s place. The things that Linta said to the applicant looking for the job were ridiculous. Even though I totally completely blame Mohtasim but now I feel the rumours about Linta being insane aren’t wrong either. I say that because despite witnessing everything herself, she still believes by doing all these things, she will be able to prevent Mohtasim from cheating on her again?

Sila is annoying & now I have all the more reasons to feel that way about her because she easily ignored the indecent touch of Mohtasim. They both met again & even then, Sila was more worried about leaving a bad impression on him & not about the way he once again made a physical contact with her? I wish they had shown Sila to be newly married or a girl who doesn’t have kids because this much immaturity coming from a mother of 2 grown up kids is hard to believe. It is hard to believe that Sila couldn’t feel the indecency in Mohtasim’s intentions because women are quite instinctive but like Areeba said, she is too blinded by the idea of his perfectness that she can not see beyond that, but again, all this coming from a mum of 2 – unbelievable! Also, Sila was in a braid the entire day but she had to have those perfectly done curls just when she was brooming her house right before Mohtasim came? I feel a lot of unnecessary effort has gone into making Sonia Mishal look like a vision, I repeat, unnecessary.

Areeba & Azhar’s track is boring, unnecessary & forced. Too tired of seeing a wife feeling guilty for not bearing a child for her good-for-nothing husband who is obviously not even emotionally attatched to her. Areeba’s pleading in front of her crying husband telling him not to work hard was so bizarre. Azhar has given Areeba quite a hard time for such a long time so she should have felt uneasy seeing him being overly nice. I am sure Azhar’s character is only added to cause troubles in Moanis’ professional life because then he will start working for Mohtasim & that will give Mohtasim a chance to be near Sila. Also, why is it that every single conversation of Sila & Areeba has to end on Sila rubbing Areeba’s childlessness to her face & then apologizing for it, making herself look like an even bigger idiot. They have been best of friends for quite some time now so if there’s one person who should be conscious of not hurting Areeba when it comes to this matter, it is Sila but like I said, she takes annoyance to another level. I am not really sure with what mindset the writer wrote the character of Sila, like is she showing us how a wife & a mum shoud NOT be or is she showing us how cute or innocent an idiotic nagging wife like Sila is that she doesn’t even feel alarmed when a man touches her indecently, as far as he is rich?

The amount of flirting that is happening with the married women in this drama is cringe worthy. Linta’s cousin was also introduced to show that in the end when Mohtasim will cheat on her & she will leave him, she will go to him eventually because he is still hopelessly in love with her. The cousinly concern was so not coming through, it was too obvious that he was still sore that Linta chose to get married to Mohtasim.

So far this drama is nothing special. The dialogues are pretty hideous. The conversation between Mohtasim & Moanis regarding cheating on their wives was full of cringe too. Sonia Mishal really needs to improve her acting, I have heard quite a lot of good things about her acting but every single time I fail to see what the hype or praising is all about. She is pretty monotonous & that typical dialogue delivery doesn’t help either. Please share your thoughts.

Khasara Episode 4 – Review!

Ohkay so, this episode of Khasara was just average. There is nothing about this play that is exciting or interesting. All the characters in their individuality have been-there-seen-that written all over them that even now when we are getting to see them in a new setting, it still doesn’t feel new.

Sila came to Linta’s place with a lot of expectations but she kept on getting disappointed again & again. Sila assumed that Linta will jump with joy at her sight but when that didn’t happen, the series of Sila’s disappointment began from there onward. Moanis kept on reminding Sila that she shouldn’t expect too much as he could see that his wife was hurt but Sila like always didn’t pay heed to her what her husband was saying.

I just can not believe that after Linta caught Mohtasim red handed, she not only brought him home but was still married to him. Mohtassim continued to make a fool out of her & she kept on pleading her love to him? Initially, I did feel for Linta but now I don’t because she is responsible for putting herself in this situation so if her husband continues to cheat on her, she is also wrong for not doing anything about it. Linta thinks spying on her husband is enough but then what more evidence is she in search of? Now that she herself is an eye witness of Mohtassim’s disloyalty then I just don’t get why she was telling one of the employees to keep an eye on Mohtassim, only to later beg him for his love!

Mohtassim spent some time with Moanis & Sila & Sila couldn’t be happier but then again, she continued to complain about Linta not being over-joyed. In stead of finding Sila innocent, I found her annoying. Well, Sila & Mohtassim had a brief encounter which obviously made them uncomfortable, Sila backtracked but I am sure Mohtassim will take it forward.

Azhar & Areeba’s story is quite boring too. Also, I was quite disappointed to hear what Azhar said about Sila & how he compared Areeba with her. Their track seems forced & unnecessarily wrong, making me wonder if there is any normal relationship in this drama that will be depicted? Anyways, please share your thoughts.

Khasara Episode 3 – Review!

Ohkay so, this episode of Khasara took the story forward but still there is nothing new or refreshing about this drama. Yes, they are trying hard to show something huge but the overall feel of the drama isn’t too appealing but having said that, I will mention that the direction of this drama is definitely good, despite such a been-there-seen-that story, the director has done his part well!

Sila finally blackmailed her husband Moanis to take her & the kids to Karachi & he obliged. Obviously, Sila played a good trick on him & because Moanis is a loving husband, he couldn’t say no. Sila prepared some gifts for Linta but it is sad that during her stay, Sila couldn’t see Linta’s cold attitude. Sila went out of the way to arrange something for her to make her happy but she is mistaken. Well, Moanis contacted Mohtasim & he welcomed him wholeheartedly!

Well, Linta finally caught Arzoo & Mohtasim red-handed. Linta had her informer in the office who let her know what was going on. That entire scene of Linta walking in to see Mohtasim & Arzoo in such condition was cringe-worthy & a bit too bold to grasp! Well, Linta created a mayhem but then it looks like she just took Mohtasim with her in order to give him a chance again because she is either too weak or loves him unconditionally to let go of him despite knowing ths truth that he is a cheater.

Sila & Co. reached Mohtasim’s place & I am sure Sila will only be disappointed because the timing isn’t right & Linta’s world has turned upside down. I think seeing Linta’s behavior, Sila will mistakenly start seeing Mohtasim as a victim & will sympathize with him, which will take the story forward from that note. I will see for a couple of weeks more, if there is nothing that further grabs my attention then I will probably stop reviewing this drama. Anyways, please share your thoughts!

Khasara Episode 2 Review – Average!

Ohkay so, this episode of Khasara was just alright. Yes, the story did move forward but I guess it still hasn’t kick started just yet. However, the characters are being introduced in detail which is good!

Linta left quite an impression on Sila & since Sila was so impressed with Linta’s status & everything she had, she forgot to notice how cold & distant Linta was. Sila actually thought that everything that Linta did basically went well with her image & she just didn’t mind it at all. Sila lacks a wisdom & exposure to not see people based on what they have or what their social standing is but because she is in such an awe of everything material, she thought highly on Linta despite the attitude she sported while being Sila’s guest!

Sila couldn’t stop raving about Linta to her friend Areeba but at least Areeba was sane & wise enough to see how cold & rude Linta was. Sila couldn’t stop thinking about all the blessings of Linta & she actually thought that Linta had everything one could wish for; a luxurious lifestyle, a lot of wealth & most importantly a loving husband. Everything that Sila said was right based on the vibes Linta & Mohtasim gave to her but little did Sila know that the same Linta who she thought had everything was suffering from insecurity because of her disloyal husband.

So, it turns out that Linta almost found out what she came for which was a proof of a relationship between Mohtasim & Arzoo but she really didn’t do much & more so, didn’t even let Mohtasim know that she eavesdropped on him & Arzoo. Yes, Linta did insult Arzoo but then again, it wasn’t in line with what a possessive & insecure wife would’ve done upon finding out the truth. It is shocking that everyone in the office knows what sort of relationship Arzoo & Mohtasim share yet no one has told anything to Linta, who also happens to be the boss. I really don’t know why Linta is putting up with Mohtasim & his disloyalty because it was suggested that everything that Mohtasim now has actually belongs to Linta & it’s basically her blessing on him that he has a status that he gets to flaunt, so not sure why Linta has given so much control over herself to Mohtasim?

Sila & kids couldn’t stop dreaming about Karachi & more than visiting the city, Sila just wanted to see Linta’s lifestyle. Not really sure what purpose Azar’s joblessness is serving in the story? Areeba on the other hand is a very nice character. (umm.net)

Overall, this episode was just average & let’s see if it will become interesting in the future episodes. The acting & the direction is definitely good but the overall feel of the drama is not extraordinary or excellent, for now! Let’s see how things roll. Please share your thoughts.

Khasara Episode 1 – Review!

Ohkay so, the writing of Maha Malik, direction of Shahid Shafaat & the production of Six Sigma Plus; Khasara drama had a decent start. The first episode gave an introduction to the characters & their personalities were elaborated in a great detail that too effortlessly. Though whatever we saw was not something new but overall, the introductory episode was quite convincing in my opinion.

Mohtasim (Mikaal Zulfikar), a business tycoon is married to Linta (Sarwat Gillani), a possessive wife. They both have a son as well & from the surface, their life might seem picture perfect but ground reality is different.

Khasara Episode 1 - Review!

Moanis (Junaid Khan) lives in a small town named Ranipur, he has a wife Sila (Sonia Mishaal) & two sons. Moanis is a dutiful husband & works in Railways.

Moanis & his wife Sila are poles apart. Sila dreams big & she wants her life to be comfortable enough where her husband can support hers & their kids’ demands without thinking twice. Even though Sila does compromise by curbing her desires but she still understands her husband’s perspective & respects him as well. Moanis always finds himself in an awkward position where he has to explain himself again & again to Sila who always has a different take on things. Moanis is practical & humble, whereas Sila finds herself settling for whatever her life has offered to her with a bit of difficulty.

Khasara Episode 1 - Review!

Sila has a friend Areeba who is also married. Areeba is the breadwinner whereas her husband Azhar is jobless. Areeba & Azhar don’t have kids & apart from Moanis, Areeba happens to be another voice of reason in Sila’s life where she tries to guide her, help her in making the right choices & also reminds her to be thankful for whatever she has in her life because at times Sila gets caught up in what she doesn’t have while forgetting to appreciate what she does!

Mohtasim poses to be a good husband to Linta but he is having an affair with his secretary Arzoo. Arzoo has spent enough time with Mohtasim to know what sort of a person his wife is & how possessive she is. Arzoo is definitely not letting Mohtasim go anywhere that is why whenever she feels that Mohatsim might get in trouble because of her, she comes to his rescue so that Linta doesn’t suspect them.

Mohtasim plans a visit to Ranipur for his new business venture & because Linta sees that Arzoo is accompanying him, she decides to go too because Linta is pretty sure they both are involved but she is just looking for a chance to confirm & witness it herself. Mohtasim & Moanis happen to be childhood friends where Mohtasim shifted to Karachi & earned a living for himself there & Moanis stayed in his hometown. Well, Mohtasim contacts Moanis & that’s when Moanis invites him to stay at his place & I am sure Moanis will then get to learn about this new Mohtasim who has changed & has become an entirely different person.

Moanis seems to be mature enough & that is why he tries to make Sila realize that she has to protect herself. I am sure because of that very reason he won’t take long in understanding Mohtasim’s character & intentions too. I felt for Linta as well, even though she is right for being insecure because she knows that Mohtasim isn’t loyal to her, her husband made it seem that it was her fault that there were rumors happening at the office about her mental health. It was like Mohtasim was conveniently making her feel guilty for being insecure & possessive about him.

Overall, the first episode was good & the direction was strong too. All the actors effortlessly portrayed their characters. Sonia Mishal did well too but she seemed a little too modern for a girl belonging to a small town. No, I am not stereotyping but Sonia definitely should’ve worked on her dialogues a bit more because the way she spoke was exactly how a girl from any big city would. I found a few dialogues a bit cringeworthy like Linta repeatedly calling Arzoo 2 number aurat…eekhs! Anyways, let’s see how things roll in the future episodes. Please share your thoughts.

They say, “Why do you wear make up?”, its my tragedy that If I don’t wear make it seems that I am too white and I am wearing make up, I have to do makeup to hide my extremely white complexion because here they don’t know how to do lighting for the white complexion like previously Hollywood didn’t know how to light dark people”. Here is the link to the video:

So, Khaqan is of the view that he actually has to do efforts to hide his white complexion because if he doesn’t hide it, he looks too white for camera:

Here are a few of his pictures from his dramas and other events:

Khaqan opened up about people getting work in the industry based on their looks. He was quite blunt and admitted that his looks are a big part of the reason that he gets good work. He said that there are hundreds of actors who are better performers than him but they may not get cast in a lead role but he will as he has the personality and looks which they might not have.

Here is what he shared:

He also openly talked about the dumb social media content being produced and consumed these days. He said that the majority of social media creators are not any degree holders. They are simply idiots and others who are not idiots are pretending to be idiots, a category he includes himself in. He added that the most intelligent people are right now the most hated people on social media and dumb content sells.

He also shared his point of view about social media success undermining the importance of education. People nowadays try to make money via social media and usually it is greater than what their degrees are earning them. But Khaqan thinks that will not happen as education has its own importance and an educated content creator will earn more than an uneducated one.

Khamoshi Last Episode Review-Ye Kya Tha???

Usually last episodes call for summing up of all what had happened and how it came to the end. But with Khamoshi, it is simply not necessary since many of the last 10 or so episodes had the same story and the finale was I do not know what to call it?

Yes, everyone was rooting for Arsala and Shahram but honestly, she did not give him the chance the way he deserved. If not for Tahseen Baaji (again), Arsala would still be hanging in the balance. She had to listen to all of Shahram’s work to finally wanting to marry him. Can’t she respect him before that? Wasn’t the stunt he pulled at his engagement enough for her? Even in the end, he kept making things smooth for her and she did not even try to stop him herself.

Closure was not something the writer was trying to give in this episode. They tried to pull off everything with a simple hand holding scene in the end. Shehnaz was suddenly sorry and was crying her eyes out which somehow got her easy forgiveness for all she had done to her daughter. Khala has suddenly vanished from the scene. Atif and her mother had no relatives in Karachi, his mother only had one close relative, Arsala’s mother but she was suddenly shipped to the relative’s home. Atif was wandering around with a visa in his pocket. Instead of owning up to his mistakes seriously, he put all the blame on Naima and shipped off. He even had no plans about his mother. Buss bhagg raha tha KHAMOSHI se!

Khamoshi Last Episode Review-Ye Kya Tha???

Naima’s ending is so stupid and I have no idea what the makers were thinking. Why our makers take suicide so easily? What are they preaching? Ke life main pehli baar kuch masla ho to kood jao chatt se? Yes, Naima was a super-evil character who did not do one single right thing in her life but she could have tried her hand at redemption. When her mother got out easily, Atif bailed out like he had done nothing wrong. Why did they make her kill herself? Using suicide so easily in a society where 90% of our population is depressed? For instance, I, who is not a fan of easy forgiveness do not want to see the makers kill every character. They should suffer, yes but suicide is extreme and can be a trigger for many.

For a drama which took 35 episodes to wrap up, this ending was not only bad but abrupt also. I wish they had started wrapping up after episode 30 at least!
