This show finally came to an end this week and although the story had nothing new to offer the show still captured my interest because of the amazing cast and their superb acting. Saba Qamar has done an outstanding job; I cannot even come close to describe how perfectly she had portrayed the role of Irfa. I must confess that I never liked Mohib Mirza because I found that he always over acted in his serials but he had completely gotten into the skin of his character this time and managed to surprise me with his marvelous acting skills. From now on I will definitely look forward to more of his shows. Sana Askari as Maleeha also did a good job but her portrayal of the same kind of characters in every show is seriously getting on my nerves now. Shahood Alvi and Yasra Rizvi were an integral part of the show and their characters gave more life to the show. Shahood Alvi as Bilal was one of my favorite characters in this show. I do not know if people like Bilal exist in this world but I always like to admire such characters when I see them on screen.

The ending was predictable but I was glad to see that Irfa at least considered Ansar’s proposal. She did not get offended when he proposed her and took it in a positive sense but she just had one answer for him; that she was married. Ansar was a new sign of hope in her life after a long time and some part of her did want to accept him but then it all came down to Rahima and her happiness. She might be overwhelmed by Ansar’s proposal but she could not forget that Shayan was Rahima’s real father and she would not accept anybody else as her father now that she was so attached to Shayan. Surprisingly even Bilal and Minahil had the same opinion that Irfa should accept Shayan back in her life. Bilal did not tell Irfa directly but he did say that Shayan would be forever grateful to her if she accepts him now with his guilty conscience.

Irfa, however, put up a good argument when Minahil tried to talk to her about Shayan and why she should accept him back in her life. I simply loved their conversation as it had some beautiful dialogues. At first Irfa was adamant to choose the new path in front of her and venture away from the old one but the only thing that stopped her was Rahima’s happiness. When the innocent girl told Irfa to accept Shayan back in her life for her happiness she could not help but think about it. It was a very tough decision for her to forgive Shayan and accept him back in her life but she did it for Rahima’s sake.

Ansar was waiting for her final answer and he finally got it when he saw Shayan taking Irfa away. Irfa had clearly told Shayan that she had learned to live without him and she had no place for him in her life anymore but when Shayan told him that Rahima needs both of them, she gave in. I felt bad for Ansar when he stood there with a bouquet in his hand and saw Irfa taking Shayan’s hand and returning to her old life. Till the very end Irfa did not truly forgive Shayan but then she finally gave in and accepted her fate.

The show was wrapped up pretty nicely and I am glad the show did not have an abrupt ending like most other shows nowadays. The pace of this show had been slow from the very beginning but surprisingly I never got bored while watching the show. I always looked forward to the next episode even when the show got very depressing. This was surprising for a person like me who could never stand to watch a distressing scene but Saba and Mohib kept me hooked to the show. Another thing that I loved about the show was its mesmerizing dialogues. Maha Malik created magic with her deep and meaningful dialogues. Its beautiful title songs were like a cherry on top, though I liked the female version better than the male one. Sohail Javed had done a commendable job as a show is nothing without its director’s vision. I will surely look forward to more shows directed by him now.

So guys how did you find this show? Rate it out of 10.

Not much happened in this week’s episode. We saw Maleeha and Shayan getting closer and Irfa getting insecure and jealous. I understand Irfa’s predicament as no woman can see her husband roaming with another woman practically everywhere. She is very possessive when it comes to Shayan as she is in constant fear that he will leave her for another woman, as she feels that she is not good enough for him. She tries to tell Shayan how she feels and also tells him what neighbors have started to say about him and Maleeha, but she gets a very vague response from him. He replies that it is a part of his job and Adeel Farooqui had given him the responsibility to take care of Maleeha. Since when did you become so responsible Shayan?

After their conversation, Irfa becomes resigned and tells Shayan that he can do whatever he wants and she would not say anything to him anymore. It was the first time Irfa got extremely upset with Shayan and this time Shayan went to patch things up with Irfa (Just like Irfa had dreamed before). He said the most amazing dialogues which won her over once again. He said that ‘I married you because I knew you loved me, and I know that nobody in this world can love me more than you. You are the only one who can turn all my sadness into happiness. Do not ever think that Shayan will leave Irfa. People like Maleeha and Adeel Farooqui will come and go from our life and they should not affect our relationship’

These were the most beautiful dialogues said in the most beautiful manner. They managed to melt Irfa’s heart and I must say mine too.

I always had this feeling from the beginning that Adeel Farooqui’s intentions were not good and this episode confirmed it. He asked Maleeha if she is interested in Shayan which shocks Maleeha. She tells him that he is a married man but in reply her father says that his wife does not suit him and she is not the kind of wife he can ever be happy with and he will get fed up of her very soon. How pathetic and low can he get? This managed to bring Maleeha’s hopes up and she got even more obsessed with Shayan. I cannot believe that she took sleeping pills just because Irfa picked up the phone when she called Shayan and told her not to disturb him. What a psychopath!

I hated the way Shayan ignored Irfa because of Maleeha. Adeel Farooqui asked him to accompany Maleeha for shopping and he agreed! He could have easily said no! He has always been very blunt and straightforward but what happened now? Shayan is a very confusing character. On one hand, he assures Irfa that he loves her and on the other hand, he also likes to roam around with Maleeha and enjoys her company. Maleeha is also trying to create misunderstanding between Irfa and Shayan and that is why she insisted on going inside his house to make Irfa aware that Shayan was with her the whole time. Irfa gets extremely sad and irritated to see this. He does even look after Irfa in her current condition. She needs care and attention and he is not able to provide her any and as usual, Irfa does not complain. Shahood Alvi also got introduced as Dr Bilal in this episode. He helps Irfa when she was not feeling well. Let’s see what his role is in this drama.

Overall, it was a good episode with some amazing dialogues. Mohib Mirza stole the show with his beautiful dialogues in this episode.

Keep watching the show! A lot of things are coming up!

One thing I really admire about this show is the dialogues. They are so deep and intense and full of meaning that audiences get lost in the beauty of it. This is one of the reasons why I started liking this show. Maha Malik always writes the most beautiful dialogues and she did not disappoint us this time either. Dialogues can only impact the viewers if the actor delivers it with the right amount of intensity and feeling and Mohib Mirza and Saba Qamar have done an excellent job. I always look forward to the intense conversations between Irfa and Shayan. They keep me hooked to every single line spoken by them.

Now coming to the episode, we saw Shayan getting affected by all the words said by Maleeha. He is ashamed to introduce Irfa as his wife as she is not up to his standard in terms of outer beauty which means a lot to him. This is the reason why he hides that he is married from Maleeha. He dodges all the questions about his family but Maleeha does not give up and ends up on his doorstep. She then gets to know that he has a wife and Irfa gets to know that he is hiding his married status from people. This managed to hurt Irfa a lot and when she complains to Shayan, he gets angry on her. And like always, Irfa goes to him to patch things up. I actually felt bad for her when she dreams that Shayan apologizes to her and patch up in the sweetest way. I wish he would just value Irfa and all the things she does for him!

Irfa has the biggest dreams for Shayan’s future and I am sure she would be the catalyst to his success. She is seen the happiest when Shayan’s paintings gets sold with his own signature. But all Shayan cares about is her looks, not her heart. He keeps on telling her to dress nicely and take care of herself. He wants to feel proud of his choice and not ashamed of it. He always hurts Irfa by taunting her about her looks and does not even realize it and Irfa forgives him for his rude words every single time. She just cannot stay upset with him!

Adeel Farooqui is definitely up to something. He managed to convince Shayan to teach Maleeha how to paint and sketch. Maleeha is seen interested in someone after a long time and he thinks if Shayan befriends her, she will come out of her shell and interact with the world around her. Maleeha is getting more and more attached to Shayan with each passing day and reacts violently when she gets to know that he lied to her about not being married. He blurts out that he agreed to teach her because of her father’s request when he told him about her mental state. This managed to upset Maleeha a lot. She feels cheated and betrayed by Shayan. She gets all worked up at the smallest things!

Shayan pretends that he does not care about Maleeha’s opinions but he is deeply affected by them. He cares what she thinks about him. I wonder why? Is it because he has started to like her? When she comments about his house, he decides to shift immediately. When she says that he and Irfa are a mismatch, he taunts Irfa about her looks. Irfa cannot help but feel jealous after seeing both of them together but Shayan does not care about her feelings. Instead he asked her to change her orthodox views and look at the world from a new perspective.

Overall, it was a good episode. Its pace has become steady now but I hope the show does not drag as it will lose its charm. Maleeha is the storm in Irfa’s life which will destroy her house and her dreams. I am eager to know what happens next!

Keep watching the show guys!

The pace of this show has become steady now. Initially, it was very fast paced. We got to see the entry of a new character played by Sana Askari in this episode. She plays the role of Maleeha who is a spoiled, rich girl and likes to flaunt her money and order people around. Well, she found the perfect match in Shayan. Shayan is an extremely rude and outspoken guy and gives Maleeha the cold treatment. The scene where they first meet was brilliantly executed and the other scenes between them were just as entertaining. They started off on a bad note but it did not take much time for Maleeha to start appreciating Shayan’s talent. She tried to be polite to him but his attitude towards her never improved. The scene where she comes to him when he is painting and he clearly tells her that she is disturbing him cracked me up! Maleeha wanted him to make her sketch but he blatantly refused and she went and complained to her father about Shayan’s behavior towards her. Just what you can expect from a spoiled, rich girl!

Shayan finally agreed to accept the job offer from Adeel Farooqui when he saw Irfa upset because of Mahjabeen’s taunts. Irfa wants to see Shayan becoming successful in his life and hates it when people talk about his joblessness. She tells Shayan that she has dreamed a lot on his behalf. She wants Shayan to reach the heights of success. I loved this dialogue spoken by Irfa ‘Mein Chahti hun ke Shayan ka naam Irfa ka guroor ban jaye’. She badly wants to see him making a name for himself as a renowned painter. Shayan also compromised for her and agreed to sell his painting to Adeel Farooqui who will sell the painting in his art gallery with his own signature, the one thing Shayan was completely against. This shows how much he loves and cares about Irfa. All their conversations in this episode were very heartwarming to watch. I love the way Irfa cares about him; she can do absolutely anything to make Shayan happy.

Now we know why Maleeha or Millie acts the way she does. She has been through a lot in her life which has made her stubborn and spoiled. I could not help but feel bad for her when her father Adeel Farooqui was narrating the incidents that occurred in Millie’s life to Shayan. He wanted Shayan to understand how sensitive she was and how upset she gets on petty things. I have a feeling Shayan has started to like Millie. His comments on her looks were evident of this fact as Shayan is a person who appreciates beauty and it holds a very special place in his life. On top of that, he did not answer Millie when she asked if he was married or not. Why did he not tell her about Irfa? Millie wanted to see her wife as she wanted to know what an artist like him has chosen for himself. I had this strong feeling that Shayan was ashamed to introduce Irfa as his wife. I remember this conversation between Irfa and Shayan when he asked her if she would be jealous if girls run after him and in reply Irfa told him that I would not be jealous if girls run after you but I will be jealous if you run after any girl and when she asked him to deny this, he said he was not sure himself about this then how can he say no! I could not help but feel bad for Irfa!

I felt that Mahjabeen-Shayan scene was not needed. Shayan excused his behavior in his own style. He told her that they would not have been happy together as they want different things from life. I do not think Shayan needed to give Mahjabeen any explanations as she had left him first and used him as a substitute when her engagement broke off.

Sana Askari is seen in the same kind of role once again. I am personally tired of watching her in the same kind of role. Mohib Mirza and Saba Qamar were at their best!

Keep watching this wonderful show!

Mariam Shafiq

A brilliant episode once again! The pace of the show and its twists and turns are keeping me hooked to the show. Mohib Mirza and Saba Qamar have done a spectacular job. At first, I was a bit skeptical about Mohib doing the role of Shayan, even his new look seemed like it would not suit him, but I must say he is the perfect person for the role of Shayan and his look completely complements his character of a beauty loving artist. Sohail Javed has done a wonderful job as the director and Maha Malik’s script is like a cherry on top.

Finally Shayan marries Irfa in this episode. It was about time he realized how important Irfa was in his life. He never valued her before because she was always around but when he realized that he would lose her forever he got scared and finally proposed her on the night of her Mehendi. Well, Thank God it wasn’t during her Nikkah! That would have been extremely clichéd! Shayan compromised on one thing he values the most and that is beauty. Outer beauty is a very important factor to a person like him. He compromised because he was scared of his loneliness but for how long? At one point or the other the beauty worshiping nature of his personality will become dominant. Will he regret his decision then?

Irfa and Shayan have a great chemistry and I loved all their scenes in this episode. To some extent, Irfa does feel inferior in front of Shayan. In the scene where Shayan takes her out, Irfa could not help but recall Shayan’s dialogues of unmatched pairs roaming around together. She also took Mahjabeen’s dialogues to heart when she told her that a person like Shayan gets bored of colors easily and need new colors in his life all the time. She got extremely upset when Mahjabeen said “Rang Peekha parhne mein time nahi lagega” and Shayan’s preferences will soon change.

I must say Juggan Kazim is doing a great job as Mahjabeen. Her comic character balances the highly emotional scenes in the episode. She got more than what she deserved. Shayan ditched her and she got married to Nasir who treats her like a princess and she dominates him in every way possible. They make a perfect pair! Their after marriage scenes were extremely hilarious. Especially the one when Irfa sees the newlyweds and their lovey dovey moments and she could not help but laugh, and the awkward way Nasir greeted her. Now she is Irfa Baji for him! Extremely hilarious scene!

“Mein Duniya ki Kisi bhi larki to thukra sakhta hun per Irfa ko nahi”

These dialogues were spoken by Shayan after he and Irfa got married and Irfa was voicing out her doubts about their future relationship. Shayan is a very unpredictable character. His mood and his preferences change very quickly. Let’s see if Shayan would remain true to his words.

I loved all the dialogues spoken by Irfa in this episode. She is surprised and happy at the same time because of the change in Shayan’s attitude towards her. A beautiful line that remained in my memory while watching the episode was when Shayan told her that I may be unpredictable but at the end of the day I will always come back to you and Irfa said that I will always wait for you no matter what. Wow! That’s one beautiful dialogue!

Shayan’s non serious attitude towards life has started to irk me a little. I thought after her mother’s death he would start taking his life seriously but I was wrong. He still refuses to do a job despite Irfa’s persistence. He actually took her advice in a bad sense which made Irfa give up on him. On the whole, it was a great episode. I am curious to know what will happen next! I am sure this show will manage to take the top spot if its pace remains the same.

Keep watching this wonderful show and do leave your valuable comments!

Mariam Shafiq.

Another beautiful episode! This show is attracting me like a magnet because of its different concept and brilliant depiction. The director Sohail Javed has done a very good job and Mohib and Saba’s performance is worth an applause! They fit perfectly in Shayan and Irfa’s shoes. Whoever casted them did a wonderful job! And last but not the least; Maha Malik’s script is brilliant and unique!

We saw a tragic incident in this episode, the loss of an important person in both Shayan and Irfa’s life. Shayan’s mothers’ death shook both their lives and they sought comfort in each other. But unfortunately, the world never ceases to talk and people objected about Shayan and Irfa staying together in one house. And since Irfa’s wedding was just a few days away she decided to shift to a hostel.

Shayan realized how important Irfa is in his life when he left her at the hostel. He tried to stop her from going but Irfa refused. His dialogue about how sad and upset he was after she left his house showed how much he cares about her. His words ‘Itni takleef to mujhe Ammi ko dafnane mein nahi huwi jitni tumhe chor ke aani mein huwi’ shows his dependence on her. I still do not understand why he is still not agreeing to get married to her. He cares a lot about her and is attached to her the most but still all he cares about is the external beauty! He is not happy to see her with her fiancé and tries to convince her not to get married to someone who is not compatible to her. I loved the scene when her bubble burst and she straight forwardly told him that she loves him a lot but cannot beg for his love as she still has her self respect intact and prefers to get married to someone who would appreciate her. Way to go Irfa!

The death of Shayan’s mother has made Shayan look at life from a different perspective. His attitude towards life has changed and he is no longer seen as a care free person. Shayan even sold his precious paintings to a renowned artist who would forge it and put his own signature and sell the paintings. Shayan was strictly against this but made an exception for Irfa so that he can get the money for Irfa’s wedding.

What a turn of events! As soon as Mahjabeen and her mother saw that Shayan’s paintings are being sold at a very good price, they decided to trap him once again. Apparently, the guy who sent the Dubai proposal turned out to be a fraud and Mahjabeen is trying to win over Shayan again. How pathetic! Shayan is so afraid of his loneliness that he is actually considering getting married to Mahjabeen. Even Irfa tells him to accept the proposal as she knows he cannot live in isolation. Irfa knows him in and out and is aware of the fact that he needs a companion whom he can talk to and someone who can take care of him.

The most hilarious scene of the episode was when Irfa’s fiancé came to meet her. Poor guy kept on asking her to go out with him at least once but he only got Irfa’s straight forward refusal. I could not help but pity him!

On the whole, it was a very enjoyable episode. I hope this show does not lose its fast pace and we get to see more development in the story. Will Shayan finally agree to marry Irfa?

Keep watching to find out!

So they finally fast forwarded the show and we got to see each character 10 years later. The look of all characters has been altered but I am glad they did not over do the makeover. In some shows, they make the actors look extremely artificial in an attempt to make them look old.

Shayan returned to Maleeha after she tried to commit suicide and was showing living with her for the past 10 years. I really wish he had not returned to Maleeha! Maleeha is still the same stubborn, spoiled Maleeha who thinks she owns the world and she still has the habit of doubting Shayan and keeping an eye on him all the time. Some people just never change! The two were seen constantly bickering about one issue or the other. Sometimes it would be about her suspicious nature and sometimes it would be about her not having any kids. Even after 10 years Shayan and Maleeha were not blessed with children and when I heard this only one thought occurred to me; when Shayan was blessed with a beautiful girl he did not care about her and now when he has no kids, he is coveting a child. Talk about Karma!

Rahima was shown all grown up but sadly she could not enjoy her childhood days like the rest of the children because of her disease. It was heart breaking to watch the little child suffer but I was very glad to see Bilal still being there for both Irfa and Rahima and helping them throughout the worst years of their life when they were left without support. Shayan had never looked back at them for the past 10 years and they managed very well even without his support. Bilal paid all of Rahima’s expenses for her treatment and he was the one who also gave money for Rahima’s major operation after which she would be able to lead a normal life like any other kid as she would no longer need the blood transfusions.

While Rahima’s operation was successful, Maleeha’s condition was getting worse. She was suffering from lung cancer from a long time but because of her carelessness it had spread all over her body and she was living the last few days of her life. She finally learned her lesson and was repenting and recalling all her unjust treatment with Irfa and her daughter and with all the other people in her life. She finally confessed to Shayan about her lie that she had told him all those years ago and asked Shayan to apologies to Irfa on her behalf. She told him that Irfa had never sold him to her; she had signed the divorce papers but had thrown the blank check on her face. Shayan was extremely shocked to hear this confession as he had been thinking all this time that Irfa has sold her love for money. All he could do at this point was to regret everything that he had done to Irfa and his daughter. There is just no use of regretting now Shayan! You just never deserved a great person like Irfa. She is way better off without you.

Shayan had gone abroad for Maleeha’s treatment and he comes back after her death with a sad heart and a huge burden on his conscience. Maleeha’s confession had left him restless and the guilt was so overpowering that he did not have the strength to go back to Irfa and apologize to her. Adeel Farooqui convinces him to go back as he thinks Irfa would forgive him and she might be even waiting for him. Oh please! I really hope nothing like this happen. Bilal is the best person for Irfa as he had been there for her through thick and thin. Irfa should just kick Shayan out of her house if he goes back because this is what he deserves.

The show is nearing towards its end and I am waiting to see what the climax would be. Would Irfa forgive and accept Shayan back In her life?

This week’s episode was a bit slow but entertaining at the same time. After watching this show week after week I have gotten used to its slow pace. ZQ’s supporting character was much needed in this show and I must say that she has done a marvelous job as Zoha. I am sick of seeing Sana Askari in the same negative roles in all her serials and her overpowering makeup in this show makes her looks extremely fake.

Zoha has finally done her work and taken her revenge from Maleeha. She kept provoking Maleeha by telling her that Shayan would never divorce Irfa and this caused Maleeha to get stubborn and she kept on pestering Shayan to leave Irfa. This did not go well with Shayan and their differences just kept on increasing. Zoha and Maleeha’s bet caused Maleeha to go to Irfa’s house and manipulate her through her words and make her sign the divorce papers. This worsened the situation between Shayan and her and Shayan finally made the best decision of his life and left Maleeha for good. But the sad part is that he also broke ties with Irfa when she retaliated to his absurd demands and refused to break her friendship with Bilal. Bilal has become a very integral part of her life and she can never forget that he was with her throughout the testing phases of her life and now when he is in need of a friend she just could not let him go.

Her affection towards Bilal was not acceptable to Shayan’s ego and he threatened to leave her for good and this time Irfa stood with her head held high and told him to go if he wants to. Shayan is definitely going to regret his hasty decision very soon. He did not even think about his sick daughter who needs him and left without a moment’s hesitation. Now what next? Irfa and Maleeha both are out of Shayan’s life. I am curious to know when and how his remorse phase would start!

One scene that I loved in this episode was when Zoha told Maleeha that she may have won the bet but she lost Shayan in the process. Zoya did not hide her happiness and told Maleeha on her face that history has repeated itself and like you stole my fiance from me, I separated your husband from you. She gloated on her victory and announced that she is getting married to Haider which shocked Maleeha. The shocked expression on Maleeha’s face was truly hilarious! All this time Maleeha was thinking that Zoha is after Shayan but in reality she was planning something completely different. Zoha’s character may be negative but she did a lot of good things like making Shayan realize Irfa’s true value and showing him Maleeha’s real face. Way to go Zoha!

Bilal got extremely upset when Minahil asked him for a divorce but Irfa helped Bilal get out of his extreme depression by making him realize his responsibilities towards all the people who needed him, and of course Rahima was on top of the list. I always love all the conversations between Bilal and Irfa as they are very heartwarming and this scene was one of them!

Now coming to the ironic part of the episode! I did not whether to be happy or sad when Shayan refused to go to Maleeha even after she tried to commit suicide. There was a time when he would have quickly rushed to her side but now he did not even bother when Adeel Farooqui called him to inform him about Maleeha’s critical condition.

One thing that I find extremely annoying when I am watching this serial is the loud background music which overpowers the dialogues and half the time I am unable to catch them! The editing department is to blame for this.

This show is finally reaching towards its climax and I am eagerly waiting to see what happens next!

This week’s episode had a steady pace and we saw a lot of changes and surprising revelations. The reason why I watch this show week after week is the because of the brilliant acting by all the actors as well as the beautiful dialogues. The screenplay written by Maha Malik is definitely worth an applause. The dialogues have such deep meanings that you cannot help but love all of them!

I always had a strong feeling that Zoha was up to something. Well, now her intentions have been revealed. She had revenge on her mind since the very first day. The reason why she is getting so close to Shayan is to make Maleeha jealous and insecure. Shayan is just a pawn in her game; she is trying to demean Maleeha in Shayan’s eyes and by telling him about Maleeha’s past. She revealed to Shayan that Haider who was Millie’s ex husband was first her fiancé and Millie stole him from her. On one hand, she is instigating Millie that she should force Shayan to leave Irfa and on the other hand, she is praising Irfa in front of Shayan and making him realize that she is the perfect wife material and he should never think of leaving her.

I loved the way she made Shayan realize Irfa’s value and for the first time I saw Shayan being proud of Irfa. It was the first time he voiced the importance of Irfa in his life and he told Zoha that he can never even think of leaving Irfa because she was there during the struggling period of his life and is an integral part of his life. Millie came in his life when he already gotten fame and recognition. I love this dialogue that he spoke:

‘Jo Nakami Ko Bhool Jaye Usse Kamyabi Bhula Deti Hai’

Shayan again sees Bilal coming out of his house and gets furious at Irfa as he had clearly warned her to stay away from him. This time Irfa does not stay quiet and gives Shayan a good piece of her mind. She tells him that if he has all the freedom to do whatever he wants then she should also have the same freedom.

‘Meri Barabari Ki Aur Jo Kuch Mein Karta Ho Woh Tum Karne Ki Koshish Mat Karna’

This is what Shayan replies when Irfa asks him why is she the one who has all the restrictions in their relationship? According to Shayan he is fulfilling all his responsibilities and this irks Irfa the most. I love this new Irfa who is not crying over her fate but standing up for herself. It was about time she stood up for herself and her rights!

It is pretty evident that Shayan has no interest in Millie anymore. He is fed up of her behavior and barely speaks to her properly now. The ‘Woman repellent spray’ dialogue cracked me up big time! Shayan really needs one if you ask me! Millie does not hesitate to voice out her opinion about his and Zoha’s newfound friendship and this irritates him. The answer that Shayan gave to Maleeha when she told him not to think that she is a fool like Irfa brought a huge smile on my face.

‘Irfa Hona Fakhr Ki Baat Hai Aur Tum Irfa Jaisi Kabhi Nahi Hosakhti.’

Way to go Shayan! It’s about time you realized what a true gem Irfa is!

The shocking part was the scene in which Shayan admitted to Zoha that he has no intention of staying with Maleeha for long. He is in debt to Adeel Farooqui and he still needs him at this point of his career but once that need finishes he has no intention of staying with Maleeha. Shayan sure knows how to play games! It was a pretty shocking revelation and Maleeha overhearing their conversation was even more shocking. What will Millie do next? She will not stay quiet, that’s for sure!

So it’s now confirmed that Minahil has no intention of coming back to Bilal. She was rude to Irfa when she called Minahil to reason with her and tell her about Bilal’s condition. Minahil still did not change her decision and now she has decided to end her relationship with Bilal as she asked Bilal for a divorce. Now what is next for Bilal?

Let’s see what happens next!

Mariam Shafiq

I am glad the show finally made some progress this week. The story moved forward and we got to see the introduction of a new character in the show. The episode started off with an upset Shayan who seemed haunted by Irfa’s words as guilt for not being there to financially support his family was eating him inside. However, all his guilt and burden on his conscience vanished when he saw a very drunk Bilal in his house in the middle of the night! He became furious at the sight before him when he entered his house. He immediately kicked Bilal out and raised a question on Irfa’s character. ‘Look who’s talking!’ This is the first thing that came to my mind when I saw Shayan doubting Irfa. Irfa seemed stunned and humiliated at his accusation and his cruel words when he clearly told her that even if he does not give her his time or love, she is not supposed to seek it from anyone else!

“Bohat Rehm Dil Hun Mein Tumhare Liyeah, Aur Utna Hee Hee Rehm Bhi”

The scene was emotionally charged and intense yet beautiful at the same time. Mohib was outstanding in the scene and Saba was just as brilliant!

Bilal has gone completely out of his senses after Minahil had left him. He has some serious mood swings and has even started to drink! At times, he is polite and kind to Irfa and sometimes he gets extremely rude to her. Irfa went to Bilal’s house to apologize for Shayan’s behavior and before she could say anything he apologized for his inappropriate behavior the other day. However, his politeness was short lived as he rudely told Irfa not to bring food to his house as he is not interested in her social service! Irfa got upset by his words for the first time and refused to take his help from then on. However, he again excused himself the next time they met but this time Irfa was not ready to let it go that easily and he had to persuade her to let him help her.

The highlight of the episode was the introduction of a new character Zoha, who happens to be Millie’s first cousin. She had come to visit Millie and her father for a short time along with her son. She was very shocked to hear that Millie had gotten married to Shayan who seemed like an average guy with more or less no personality and she openly voiced her opinion to Maleeha who seemed irked by her words. It was pretty evident that they had never gotten along since childhood. They left no chance to taunt each other in one way or the other!

However, it did not take much long for Zoha’s view to change about Shayan. They clearly bonded over a cup of tea and opened up to each other. Zoha seemed impressed by his work while Shayan seemed impressed by her. He could not help but notice how different she and Maleeha were from each other. It did not take much time for their friendship to blossom when they saw each other again at the gallery. Shayan would never leave a chance to spend some time with a beautiful woman and they both ended up in the café where Bilal and Irfa were also present. The confrontation was shocking for both the parties and if eyes could kill then Bilal would have been dead there and then by the look Shayan gave him. Bilal quickly got the signal and dropped Irfa home and refused her offer for lunch. Zoha also noticed that something was not right and Shayan opened up to her and told her about her first wife which shocked Zoha even more.

It seems like Shayan is going to get bored by Maleeha too very soon and of course, Zoha would be the next person on his list! Maleeha can sense that something is brewing between the two and she will try her best to keep them away from each other. Let’s see what is awaiting us in the next episode!

Till Next Week!

The whole episode revolved around Minahil and Bilal’s breakup and how he Bilal tries to convince Minahil to come back to the house. However, it does not seem like Minahil is ready to forgive Bilal anytime soon! She has completely lost her trust in him and she finally makes the decision to go abroad to her brother’s house. Bilal seemed very upset at her decision and tried to stop her but it was all in vain as she had already made up her mind. I do not know what to think of Bilal. On one hand, he says he loves Minahil a lot and on the other hand, he lied to her and broke her trust. He admitted his mistake and apologized too but sometimes apology is just not enough! Let’s see if Minahil will come back or if she decides to end their relationship altogether?

Not much happened with Irfa and Shayan in this episode. There has been no contact between them after he came to give Irfa money. He has been having the same arguments with Maleeha over and over again. Maleeha is demanding only one thing from Shayan and that is to leave Irfa but Shayan still refuses to leave her. Adeel Farooqui once again tried to explain her to keep calm and not pressurize Shayan at his point because there is nothing left between Irfa and Shayan and he will leave her eventually. But Maleeha decided to take things in her own hands and ended up on Irfa’s doorstep. She had the guts to offer money to Irfa to leave Shayan! Irfa kept calm throughout her so called ‘deal’ and clearly refused to take money and gave Maleeha a fair piece of her mind. One dialogue spoken by Irfa got embedded in my mind:

“Shayan Ko Khush Karna Aasaan Hai Per Usse Khush Rakhna Bohat Muskil”

Who else would know how hard it is to keep Shayan happy other than Irfa? She had tried her best but failed. It will surely be a daunting task for Maleeha who neither has Irfa’s patience or love in her to deal with a person like Shayan. The scene where she got angry at Shayan because he spoke to some female fans said it all. Shayan is the kind of person who likes and craves attention and Maleeha cannot stand him even talking to some other woman. Her possessive nature would prove to be fatal for their relationship. It seems like Shayan will surely get fed up of her soon.

Bilal had helped Irfa in a very bad time and it was now Irfa’s turn to return the favor. She tried her best to take care of Bilal during Minahil’s absence. She also tried her best to morally support him through the tough time and he appreciates her for this.

What made my heart break is that Shayan even forgot about his daughter! He remembered her when a stranger came to him to ask for donation for kids and he then called Irfa to ask about Rahima. Irfa just could not control her anger when he called her as he knew Rahima needed money for her treatment and he did not send money as he was busy with Maleeha’s birthday. She gave him a good tongue lashing and told him that she had to sell her jewelry for Rahima’s treatment and if Rahima was not there then she would have left him a long time back! This was the first time Shayan actually got scared by Irfa’s outburst. I hope this drives some sense into Shayan and he would at least remember that his daughter is sick and Irfa needs his support at this stage.

I have simply no clue what will happen next! This show is so unpredictable and it really needs to move on already. They are dragging it way too much for my liking. Will Minahil leave Bilal? Will Shayan leave Irfa? Tune in to the show next week to find out!

We got a pretty shocking revelation in this episode! I never expected a person like Dr. Bilal to be so selfish. He seemed like a caring, loving and thoughtful person but we saw his selfish side in this episode. He had hurt Minahil so much with his lie as he kept on telling her that she was the one who could not become a mother when in reality, it was just the opposite. Minahil was in a state of disbelief when her brother informed her about her reports being clear but she was not convinced till she saw them with her own eyes. This is when she realized that Bilal had been playing with her feelings for so many years and had betrayed her in the most cruelest manner. Trust is a very important in any relationship and Bilal broke the one thing Minahil valued the most! Upon getting to know the truth, she took the decision of leaving Bilal and left the house.

Shayan is not ready to leave Irfa at this stage and he and Maleeha have a fight over this issue yet again! Maleeha got angry when she got to know that Shayan stopped Irfa from leaving the house. She wants Irfa out of Shayan’s life at all cost! Shayan still has some humanity left in him as he feels he has a responsibility towards Irfa and his kid, though he is rarely there for them when they need him. At least he has the decency to realise that Irfa has no one in the world except him and she needs his support. Also it will never be acceptable to his ego if Irfa leaves him but it will be completely fine with him if it is the other way round.

Adeel Farooqui was seen giving relationship advice to Maleeha yet again. I may dislike him but I can’t help but agree with what he says. He knows just how to handle and react to any kind of situation. Since he is so good at relationship advice, I wonder why his own marriages did not work? I guess his advice would only be applicable to other people!

Another heart breaking episode! Situation is taking turn for the worst for Irfa as she faces new problems and hurdles every other day. Just when she thought Shayan’s attitude was finally improving and he had started caring for Rahima and her, Maleeha came and gave her the news that she and Shayan had gotten married. This news shattered her and broke her heart! She had not expected Shayan to take such a drastic step without thinking of her and Rahima! I do not think Irfa should have expected anything else from someone like Shayan. He had never stuck to one thing in his life as he needs change all the time.

Shayan has started to get irritated by Maleeha’s attitude, constant demands and mood swings. He is not the type of person who would tolerate such a behavior and this is the reason why he stopped going to Maleeha and spent more time with Rahima and Irfa. Even irfa was surprised at this sudden change and was happy to see Shayan spending some quality time with her and Rahima. She finally felt that her family was complete now that and her dialogues reflected her feelings:

“Bohat Acha Lagraha Hai Tumhara Rahima Aur Mere Saath Hona. Aisa Lagraha Hai Meri Duniya Mukamal Hogaee Hai”

But her happiness was short lived as Maleeha came to pick Shayan up from his house and forced him to come with her. Shayan was again seen lying to Irfa as he did not tell her that Maleeha had come to pick him up. However, Irfa got to know that Shayan had lied to her when Dr. Bilal told her that he had seen Shayan with a woman in the parking lot. Irfa’s attitude towards Shayan changed after that and they had another fight. He again told her that he had made a mistake when he married her and his words once again left Irfa hurt. According to Shayan, Irfa always complains about everything and as an artist he needs his mind to be at peace. Shayan only cares about his own life and his peace of mind. He just does not care what other people go through because of his careless attitude.

It is good to see Dr. Bilal and Manahil happy in their life and I look forward to their scenes. Dr. Bilal is such a caring and loving husband and never complains about not having kids. Manahil herself makes such a big issue out of it even when Bilal has told her a million times that he does not care if they have children or not. Manahil’s attitude towards Irfa has also changed as she went so far as to invite Irfa to Bilal’s birthday. Bilal seemed surprised and happy to see the change in her attitude and compliments Irfa that she managed to create a place in Manahil’s heart which is a big feat in itself. Irfa laughs off at the compliment and tells him that she does not know how to make place in anyone’s heart and in reply Bilal said a beautiful line:

‘Jo Insan Khud To Ehmiat Deta Hai Woh Dosro Se Ehmiat Pata Hai’

If Irfa would start giving importance to herself then automatically other people would also give her importance. She just needs to change her outlook on life. Well said Dr. Bilal! Let’s see if Irfa would change herself after Shayan’s betrayal.

Irfa was extremely hurt after getting to know about Shayan and Maleeha’s marriage and in her emotional state; she took the decision to leave the house. However, Shayan refused to let her go and tried to put some sense into her. He told her to think about Rahima and her health as she needs his support for her treatment. He failed to show a bit of remorse on his decision to marry Maleeha and created the subject very casually as if it was not a big deal at all!

Adeel Farooqui is trying to put some sense into Maleeha and tried to make her understand that she cannot expect Shayan to leave his daughter and wife for you as they have been a part of his life way before you had come in his life. If at this point, he leaves them then somewhere in the future he can also leave you for someone else! It was the first time I agreed with Adeel Farooqui. I doubt he would take much time to leave Maleeha if she keeps on pestering him about everything!

Irfa would not leave the house because of Rahima and it does not seem like Shayan would change or feel guilty about his decision anytime soon. So what will happen next? I am curious to know how the story will proceed now. Let’s see what is in store for us!

Till Next Week!

What an unexpected twist! I was not expecting the story to take such a turn. I had known from the beginning that Shayan would marry Maleeha but I did expect Rahima to have a disease like Thalassemia. Shayan and Irfa both had Thalassemia minor and that is why Rahima inherited this disease from her parents. Her body is not able to produce new blood cells and she would need blood transfusions every few days and Rahima is barely a month or two old! Just the thought of a small kid having such a disease makes me shudder! There may be hundreds of kids out there suffering from this deadly disease. It seems to be a very trying time for both the parents and I am glad Shayan finally showed some concern towards her daughter.

I liked the way Dr. Bilal first tried to talk some sense into Shayan that he needs to give his family more time. He just wanted him to set his priorities right and asked him one simple question:

“Apke Ke Liyeah Kiya Ziada Zaruri Hai; Apka Hunr Ya Apki Beti?”

He tried to make him understand that his daughter comes above everything else but Shayan being Shayan got pretty offended and did not like to be lectured about his responsibilities as handling responsibilities has never been his forte. His life and his happiness comes above everything else as he has always been selfish and self obsessed, but we did finally see a change in his attitude when Dr. Bilal told Irfa and him about Rahima’s disease. I saw Shayan begging someone for the first time ever; he kept his ego aside and asked Dr. Bilal to help them in this tough time and Dr. Bilal being the kind hearted and generous person agreed to help them through all the testing phases ahead.

I cannot believe someone can become so selfish and indifferent! Maleeha did not show an ounce of pity when Shayan told him about Rahima’s condition. All she wants is Shayan to spend all his time with her as she can no longer share him with anyone else. Shayan maybe careless and selfish but he is aware of the fact Irfa has no one else but him in this world and he cannot leave her at any cost but Maleeha kept on insisting Shayan to leave Irfa again and again. This results in a huge argument between them and I just loved the scene where Shayan said:

“Mein Irfa Ko Nahi Chor Sakhta, Woh Mar Jayegi

Maleeha: Toh Mar Jaane Do

Shayan: Tum Mar Jao”

I was left open mouthed and dumbstruck when he said these dialogues. He may not love Irfa but deep down he still cares for her and would not leave her at any cost. He is trying his best to make Maleeha understand his situation and share his problems but Maleeha is not ready to understand anything and is acting like a stubborn child who wants Shayan all for herself.

Dr. Bilal is trying his best to help Irfa and Shayan in every possible way and he is also providing moral support to Irfa who has become extremely depressed and tensed after getting to know about Rahima’s condition. He is helping her to gather courage and be mentally prepared to face the situation ahead of her. In her worried state, she gets extremely rude and says the most hurtful words to Dr. Bilal:

“Ap Kiya Jaane Aulaad Ka Dukh Kiya Hota Hai, Apki Khudki Aulaad Hoti To Pata Hota”

As soon as the words were out, she quickly realized she had hit a sore spot and quickly apologized to Dr. Bilal who proved to be very understanding as he knew she was not in her right frame of mind.

Adeel Farooqui is becoming getting more annoying by the day. He wants Shayan to make all compromises and understand Maleeha’s mental state while Maleeha is not ready to understand anything. He was the person who gave the idea to Maleeha to show interest in Shayan in the first place, he was the one to encourage her and as a result she is now completely obsessed with Shayan. Shayan gave him a piece of his mind when he tried to console Shayan that with time you both will understand each other. Shayan clearly told him that he may be able to tolerate her childish behavior since he is her father but as her husband, I would not tolerate such childish behavior so it is better if you make her understand instead of lecturing me. It seems that Maleeha and Shayan’s marriage would not last for long!

Maleeha will play some sinister games in the next episode as she had vowed that she will kick Irfa out of Shayan’s life and she would go to any extent to do that. Let’s see what is in store for us in the next episode!

Keep Watching!

Okay, so this show really needs to pick up some speed. It is getting more and more depressing by the day and I again felt like pitying Irfa and her condition. Shayan again turned out to be very disappointing as he did not bother to come back from his trip even when Irfa gave him the news that he just had a daughter. He wanted to extend his trip and had planned to travel to Europe for another 10 to 12 days and when Irfa protested, he actually cut the phone on her face! He is least bothered about Irfa and his new born daughter. I had expected him to care for his daughter but Shayan again turned out to be a huge disappointment. Irfa and Rahima both have no importance in his life; he is too self-centered to think of anybody but himself.

Shayan returns almost a month after his daughter’s birth and the first person he meets in his own house is Dr. Bilal who had been a support system for Irfa in the past month when she was all alone and in dire need of help. Since Dr. Bilal’s wife is out of town, he can visit Irfa without offending Manahil. Shayan was surprised to see him at his doorstep and did not welcome his presence. Dr. Bilal understood that he was not welcomed and left immediately. Their second meeting was more dramatic than the first one and this time, Shayan showed his displeasure at his presence and Dr. Bilal left again without being offended in the least. Shayan got disturbed by his presence in his house as he does like to see Irfa getting close to anybody but him. This is what we call hypocrisy! He used to tell Irfa to become open minded and now he himself is showing how close minded he is.

Dr. Bilal has become attached to Rahima and he was surprised to know that Irfa has not even thought of a name for her child. I love the scene where Irfa asked him to suggest a name and he said ‘Betiyan To Allah Ki Rehmat Hoti Hai; Rehmat Se Rahima Kaise Rahega’ Dr. Bilal is slowly becoming my favorite character in this show. He has a grace and charm which leaves one impressed with his character. Irfa is grateful to him for all the help he has provided to her in the worst situation and she will always respect him for the kindness he had shown. They had unknowingly formed a very strong bond and I am sure now that Dr. Bilal will support Irfa if Shayan leaves her.

Irfa has totally given up on Shayan now and she knows very well that he spends all his time with Maleeha but she had just stopped protesting when she realized how useless it is to stop Shayan from doing something that he wants. She clearly told him that she does not need his time or love anymore and she had learned to live without both. Shayan is Maleeha’s personal puppet and he does whatever she tells him to do. Irfa had asked Shayan to come back home early so that they can take Rahima to the doctor as she seemed unwell but Shayan stayed with Maleeha when she insisted and forgot about his daughter once again. Dr. Bilal came at the right time and helped Rahima whose condition was worsening.

Whenever I watch a show a question pops inside my head that is what makes me watch this show? And the reason why I watch this show is Saba Qamar and Mohib Mirza’s spot on acting. Their brilliant performance keeps me hooked even when the story is stagnant. Sana Askari, however, fails to offer anything new as she is playing the same kind of character that we have seen her in a hundred times before. Shahood Alvi has also managed to impress me with his character and I think this role was tailor made for him.

Let’s see what is in store for us in the coming episode! It would not take Shayan much longer to marry Maleeha and leave Irfa. The story really needs to move on now!

Keep Watching!

My heart went out to Irfa in this episode as she was left helpless and without any support by Shayan who is busy enjoying his own life. I cannot believe Shayan could turn so indifferent towards Irfa who is not only her wife but has been his true companion since his childhood. He is busy climbing the stairs of success and leaving his most beloved possession behind and running after fame and people who would never appreciate or love him like Irfa. He just does not care about Irfa or his child which is very disappointing. Shayan has always been self centered throughout his life and even now he is showing his selfish side by involving himself with Maleeha when he knows how hurt Irfa would be if he leaves her.

Shayan was in for a shock when Maleeha suddenly proposed him for marriage. He knew Maleeha liked him but he did not expect her to confess and propose so openly. The worst part is he did not decline the proposal but asked for some time to think about it! Deep inside his heart he does not want to betray Irfa but his own feelings had always been more important than Irfa’s. He has always taken her and her love for granted and does not realize her true value. He admitted to Maleeha that he has taken a hasty decision by marrying Irfa as he was not in the right frame of mind and needed emotional support at that time since his mother had passed away. His dialogues to Maleeha ‘Tum Mujhe Pehle Kiun Nahi Mili’ shows that he is just as interested in Maleeha as Maleeha is in him. He decides to go to Italy for whole two weeks even after Irfa told him how critical her condition is and how much she needs him by her side. But for Shayan roaming in Italy and enjoying his trip was far more important than Irfa. Irfa did not argue further as she knew it was of no use as Shayan would never understand or accept his responsibilities.

Irfa innocently asked Shayan if he would call her from Italy and he replied:

“Ager Tum Yaad Karogi to Mein Bhi Karunga”

Irfa: “Muhabbat Mein Mein Shartein Nahi Hoti, Tum Mujhe Nab Hi Yaad Karo Mein Tumhe Har Pal Yaad Karti Rahungi”

But alas, Shayan never bothered to call her as he was too busy enjoying his time with Maleeha. Even when Irfa’s condition turned serious and she had an early operation, he did not receive her call. Irfa has given up all hope on him now and has stopped waiting for his call. All she cares about now is her baby’s health and her well being. Saba Qamar stole the show with her brilliant acting and beautiful portrayal of emotions. She completely fits into the character of Irfa and you can see all the emotions through her expressions, she does not need to express her feelings through dialogues which is a quality that a few actors possess. She has come a long way in her career and has turned from a mediocre actor to one of the best in the industry.

Dr. Bilal has once again proved what a kind hearted person he is by helping Irfa in the worst situation possible. He took her to the hospital when her condition was critical and stayed at the hospital throughout the operation. He also provided her with moral support when she needed assurance from someone. I am sure he will always be there when she needs help and provide her with support.

Minahil attitude is still cold towards Irfa as she went to her house and told her to stay away from her husband again. This time Irfa got angry and Minahil sensed how upset she was and to make up for her rudeness she invited her for dinner. Dr. Bilal wants her to try to be friends with Irfa but she is in no mood to socialize and come out of her shell.

The show has become very slow. I hope the story moves to the next phase soon. Do share your views about the episode!

Keep watching!

The story is still stagnant and not much happened in the show this week. We saw Shayan turning more indifferent towards Irfa by the day. He does not even attempt to hide his annoyance anymore and he went as far as to openly tell Irfa what a huge mistake he had made by marrying her in the first place. This left Irfa hurt and in tears but Shayan paid no heed to her feelings and acted like nothing happened the next day!

Shayan takes Irfa for granted and does not realize her true value now but the time will come when he will appreciate everything she had done for him. In this critical state, she needs care and love and all she gets from Shayan is indifference. Shayan expects her not to complain about anything and accept him just the way he is; careless and full of life. He just does not want to change and clearly told Irfa that I was like this even before marriage and you accepted me this way, so why complain now? Well Shayan, because she has no one in the world except you and she expects you to take care of her at least!

All Irfa expects from Shayan is his attention and time but Adeel Farooqui and Maleeha try their best to stop Shayan from going back to Irfa in one way or the other. Adeel Farooqui has finally launched Shayan’s career by exhibiting his paintings with Shayans’ own signature. I do not understand why Shayan gets manipulated by Maleeha and Adeel Farooqui every single time! He seems like a puppet in their hand that is at their complete beck and call. I could not help but detest Shayan when he did not call Irfa to his first launch because Maleeha manipulated him by saying that Irfa would not look good beside someone with an extraordinary personality and good looks like his. Irfa felt extremely happy to see Shayan on television and there were tears of joy in her eyes but she also felt disappointed that Shayan did not want to share his happiness with her and did not even bother to inform her about the launch. However, Shayan felt that Irfa is not happy for him as she keeps on complaining about everything and he rudely told her that your attitude will become the reason for my downfall and Irfa replied by saying the most beautiful dialogues:

“Peeche Reh Jaane Wale Aage Jane Walon Ke Raste Ki Ruqawat Nahi Ban Sakhte”

“Abhi Tum Tarakki Kerrahe Ho Per Aana Tumhe Zameen Per Hee Hai”

How true! I felt like applauding Irfa when she spoke these set of dialogues. I also loved the scene when Maleeha asked Shayan that this must be like a dream come true for you and you must be on the 7^th sky now that your exhibition has become so successful, and in reply Shayan said that I never dreamt of all this but Irfa always wanted me to reach the heights of success. This managed to irritate Maleeha and she tried to show Shayan that she was also very happy for him.

Adeel Farooqui is making a huge mistake by encouraging Maleeha to get involved with Shayan. He is evoking ideas in her mind which she had never thought of! He clearly intends to get her married to Shayan by giving him the greed of a successful career and future. Let’s see how this story moves on!

Dr. Bilal helped Irfa yet again by taking her to the doctor when Shayan did not show up for the SECOND time! Minahil, however, does not like Bilal helping Irfa or spending time with her and she gives a good tongue lashing to Irfa and clearly tells her to stay away from her husband. Irfa seemed pretty upset at Minahil’s outburst but Bilal excused on her behalf and told Irfa the reason for her behavior and that she is going through a bad time. Irfa understood his predicament and let the issue go. Well, it is not like Irfa to be upset or angry at someone for a long time as she is so kind hearted!

Saba Qamar has once again emerged as the star of the episode! She fits into the role of Irfa perfectly as an actor but still I feel if the script required Irfa to be an average looking girl then they should not have chosen Saba as I find her very pretty. The director Sohail Javed has also done a very fine job in this serial and it shows onscreen.

I hope the story moves forward in the next episode and we see the next phase of the serial! Keep watching!

Kaash Aisa Ho is a new drama airing on ARY Digital. The teasers and promos did manage to capture my interest and the show did not disappoint me either. The story is written by Maha Malik and the show is directed by Sohail Javed. The cast includes Saba Qamar, Mohib Mirza, Shahood Alvi, Zainab Qayyum (ZQ), Jugun Kazim, Tahira Imam, Ali Sikander, Jahanzeb Gurchani, Sana Askari and Syeda Yasra Rizvi.

The beautiful shayari in the OST and promos made me wonder about the story of this new show. At first glance, it seemed like the same old story in which the male lead is seen cheating on the female lead but the story turned out to be different than what I expected.

Saba Qamar plays the role of Irfa who is a simple and sensible girl and her life revolves around only one person; her cousin Shayan. She is an orphan who lives with her Khala and her son Shayan. She has been in love with her cousin almost all her life and has a good rapport with him. But unfortunately, Shayan has no interest in her because she lacks one trait that he worships, and that is beauty. This hurts Irfa the most, but she decides to move on and get married to someone else. She then gets engaged to a man who is in no way compatible to her.

Mohib Mirza plays the role of Shayan who is shown as a care free painter with a very casual attitude towards life. He is obsessed with beauty like any other artist and that is why he rejects his cousin Irfa, who lives with him and his mother in their house. He is well aware of Irfa’s feelings towards him but chooses to ignore them. He teases her mercilessly but also cares about her the most. He then gets engaged to the pretty Mahjabeen, who happens to be his neighbor. Shayan extremely dislikes Nasir (Irfa’s fiancé) as he does not consider him worthy of Irfa. At some level, he is guilty about rejecting Irfa and wants her to be happy in her life.

Juggan Kazim plays the role of Mahjabeen who happens to be the neighbor of Shayan and later gets engaged to him. She always had a problem with Irfa and Shayan’s friendship and used to get jealous of Irfa whenever she saw her with Shayan. However, she calls off the engagement when she sees that Shayan has no future, as he never sticks to one job for more than a week. She then engaged to someone else.

The first three episodes had a good pace and have totally hooked me to the show. I am curious to know what happens next. It seems like Shayan will eventually get married to Irfa but will never appreciate her or accept her love because for him, the most important thing is beauty which Irfa lacks. Now what circumstances will make him agree to marry her is still a mystery! I am also curious to know the role of Shahood Alvi, Yusra Rizvi and Sana Askari. I am waiting for the story to unfold and introduce all the characters.

Mohib Mirza’s performance so far has been brilliant. He completely gels into the character of Shayan; even his look is perfect for this role. Saba Qamar as the simple and loving Irfa manages to win one’s heart and as usual Saba Qamar has given her best. Kaash Aisa Ho seems like a show with a lot of potential. I will definitely recommend everyone to give this show a chance.

And lastly, a special mention for the beautiful OST ‘Kaash Aisa Ho Ke Ab Ke Bewafai Mein Karoon’ which is sung by Humera Channa. The OST is soothing and the beautiful lyrics written by Sabir Zafar manage to make the listener sing along. I hope this show manages to leave the viewers impressed!
Keep watching this show!
