Wow! Just when I thought & dreaded the idea of the drama being stretched I was caught off guard when the ticker of Last Episode flashed on my screen. What else could’ve been a better way to end a drama decently without dragging it for no good reason. This ending & the number of episodes gave me another reason to like this drama & I am glad that I tuned into Ishq Mein Tere because it was a perfect entertainment.

The last episode wrapped up the story nicely & we are left with no unanswered questions. Everything fell into the place perfectly for sure. Whatever Cuckoo said to Saad’s mother was extremely derogatory & went to show what sort of a cheap mentality a so-called literate & sophisticated person endorsed. I wished Saad’s mother had at least slapped Cuckoo for things she said but she held herself back because she didn’t want to stoop to her level.

Finally, Saad’s health took a bad turn & he became hospitalized. As usual he had Saim by his side & I didn’t like that Saad once again told him off saying you don’t understand a thing. If that was the case, why would Saad share things with Saim if he thought he never understood whatever Saad ever said? Hamdani family got to know about Saad’s disease right when he was on his death bed, which makes things a bit – a tinsy bit unrealistic because if someone is suffering from such a chronic disease, one member or the other gets the heed of it definitely.

Saad thought it was his duty to fix things before he dies therefore he confessed everything in front of Laiba & took a promise that she will subside the misunderstanding that was created between Aiza & Shehryar. Finally, Aiza was convinced to let go of whatever happened because Saad asked her to. Sadly, he died & took all the mishaps that the family went through with him.

It was a pretty decent ending of such a nice drama but I wish they had shown the family members insulting Cuckoo for how she maligned Laiba against Aiza & Saad but she went away seemingly after apologizing to everyone for what she did. & yes, I do want to know what & how did Bakhtiyaar take control of his life? I know people don’t really appreciate if the side characters are given much importance but here his family & their issues were highlighted every once in a while, so I think it would’ve been justified if they had shown how he took responsibility & shaped up his life.

One huge issue I had with this episode was the use of white clothes in the post-death scenes. Who wears white in Pakistan? The question still remains. Another mistake or may be lack of attention happened when Saad’s mother walked into his farmhouse & asked the servant about Saad, according to him Saad wasn’t at home but in the very next scene, Saad is seen almost lifeless vomiting his guts out & his mother runs towards him.

Anyways, a big shout out to the writer, the director & the entire cast for bringing in such a decent play with no such loopholes. All the characters were brilliantly enacted by the actors & one special actor who shined throughout was Madiha Imam as Laiba. I must say being a newbie she seems so promising. I hope she makes some amazing choices & we get to see her more. I am glad that the drama ended at the right time & indeed it was a perfect family entertainment so Thank You team Ishq Mein Tere for giving us a decent play that we hoped for.  Share your views about the drama.

Hmmmm, so it was more of a drama in this drama now. Interesting as always & I guess they are off to wrapping up the story. I’d pretty much appreciate if they don’t drag the ending & wind it up just when needed.

Is it just me or others feel the same that Laiba is nothing but a crazy egoist? Didn’t she ever come across the saying of never believing in what you see? I mean how easily she just saw Aiza going into Saad’s room & assumed the gruesome details. Does she really think she is going to win Saad over by being like this, where at first she was clingy & now she has turned his mother against him too? Is he actually worth all the hassle? I don’t think so. What she thought & then blurted about Aiza & Saad goes to show Laiba’s own mentality more than anyone else’s in this situation. She is not insecure because that’s the small word, rather she is obsessed to a blinding point.

Aiza was just being herself & kept on reminding Saad about his upcoming marriage. His coughing fits were unbearable to watch where he would cough like he ain’t going to last but the very next moment he would walk like nothing happened, lol. I actually detest Saad & fail to sympathize with him because he has only created difficulties for people around him. I actually once again got a chance to feel bad for Saim because if Saad can’t tolerate his advices, why does he call Saim to listen to his issues quietly? Saim is being so tolerant towards his selfish friend but sadly Saad can’t see it. :(

Finally, Aiza’s brother Bakhtiyaar has taken hold of his life & without going into much detail they showed him having a good time with his family & providing them with the basics. I think it was a perfect timing for Aiza to come to her brother for support because now he is being reasonably responsible towards his family.

I expected better from Shehryar but sadly he gave preference to his daughter’s verdict over anything else & without even seeking for Aiza’s justification he decided to send her away. Aiza on her own is right that he didn’t even give her a chance to explain about what happened & I feel in this matter it would be justified if Shehryar apologizes to her because Aiza never gave him a chance to doubt her. She deserves all the respect & Sheheryar definitely owes her an apology.

Next episode shows Saad’s suffering reaching to a lethal level & hopefully it would make Laiba regret what she has done. Can’t wait to find out what happens next.

I can’t thank team of Ishq Mein Tere enough for keeping us hooked to this show till now. The writer, the director & all the actors have done a commendable job in providing us with quality entertainment in the form of this drama.

The ring ceremony ended with Saad’s never ending coughing & this made me think again why Saad was doing all that to turn everyone’s world upside down when he himself doesn’t even know how much time he has on his hands. The whole Saad-approaches-Aiza scene wasn’t necessary. I thought he might tell her to do the honours being Laiba’s best friend & her sweet step-mom but it wasn’t meant to be so yes, I feel it could’ve been skipped because she was still a part of the function anyway.

I think Aiza’s bhabhi scenes are nothing but used as a forced comedy which can be skipped too. I wonder now after she has seen Aiza’s household, how much greedier she is going to get. Cuckoo’s annoying & I dislike the fact that she will always speak ill about every single person. If she thinks she can win Shehryar, how can she forget that he has a few family members as his responsibility too? Does she really think that she’ll be able to confine Shehryar to herself IF she gets him? I lol’ed at Saim’s pep talk to Saad but felt for that poor guy when Saad told him that ONLY & STRICTLY family members were invited for the engagement, I felt for Saim so much thinking he must’ve been shattered & heart-broken that his only family – Saad doesn’t take him as a part of his family till now. :/ A moment of silence for Saim’s misery please!

Laiba totally surprised me today & pleasantly at that when she took Cuckoo’s accusations on Aiza quite maturely. She turned Cuckoo’s brain feeding down & defended Saad when it came to his sketch of Aiza. I would’ve liked it a bit better if she had kept that sanity but seems like she lost the plot at the thought of Aiza & Saad being together & alone in Turkey. I think Laiba may have missed the fact too that Aiza insisted her to come along as well but Laiba herself refused. This was just enough of a reason for Laiba to trust Aiza but she lost it & decided to go to Turkey.

I wasn’t a fan of Laiba’s stalking antics because she on her own went to Turkey & not even a single call was made from anyone in Pakistan to Saad or Aiza asking whether Laiba reached safely or not. Yes, Laiba did tell her father that she wanted to surprise both Saad & Aiza but still I don’t think Saad’s mother would take it so lightly if she hadn’t heard anything about Laiba from either one of them. Laiba has once again believed in what Cuckoo told her & based her judgments on what she herself wanted to see. I actually pitied Aiza a lot more because all this while she kept on speaking about how much she missed her husband & sadly, all that’s going to come down crashing.

I know I am a fan of this drama & have really liked the story as well but I am not sure what will happen next & the last thing I’d want to see is Shehryar doubting his wife Aiza because I think Aiza deserves all the respect & even the blinding faith in her because she has loved Shehryar & married him with all his heart. For once, I would love to see a girl being treated with respect & even though things turn to be against her, she has her husband supporting her. Shehryar himself sent her to Turkey with his clingy nephew who was decent enough throughout his stay with her surprisingly so just because his immature kid Laiba tells him something, he is ready to just believe on what he may hear but not what he himself saw, I think Shehryar could’ve done better. I knew Aiza’s Mother-Teresa approach will put her in a difficult situation & this is exactly what’s going to happen next. I hope Shehryar & Aiza don’t part on such a petty misunderstanding because they are better than that.

So, finally the story has come to another turn & this twist is interesting. Once again no complaints & just a pleasure watching this show.

Saad has finally proposed to Laiba thinking this way he can keep Aiza from going away from his life. Aiza on her own now feels guilty that she has played Saad into this commitment because she knows the actual reason as to why he has agreed for this marriage. I think Aiza should now take a back seat & relax because finally Saad is sort of out of her life as now he has gotten a girl who is totally smitten by him & who won’t leave by his side. Aiza’s suggestion of just getting them both engaged for now & delaying the wedding was sort of wrong. I think she should’ve affirmed Shahryar’s decision of getting Laiba & Saad married ASAP because engagements usually don’t last that long & that will still keep a window of hope open for Saad as well.

I think now Cuckoo’s existence is a total annoyance & nothing else. She has lost her battle & she has literally no reasons of staying back. It’s ohkay if she wants to be there, she can be but I think we all would appreciate if she is made invisible & not much screen time is given to her because her taunts & eyebrow raises are becoming repetitive.

I lol’ed at Saad & his Saim’s conversation. I have never seen two guys being so involved in the gharelu masail, where one is crying & the other is lending a shoulder to be cried upon. I know this may sound harsh & cruel but deep down Saad knows what sort of a chronical disease he has & the way it has resurfaced, his chances of making till the end of drama are thin, so why put everyone through such a fuss of engagement where he is clearly playing with Laiba’s feelings? Why does he want to bother Aiza because may be & eventually he won’t survive so yes, for the sake of Aiza & Shahryar’s peace, I hope Saad goes out of the picture because he is just being a nuisance & sorry, I don’t feel for his character at all!

I think Aiza’s bhabhi is being ridiculous now. She has her cousin Ahmed Ali brain feeding her into taking advantage of a rich SIL & her husband. I think her demand of 2 lac rupees that too directly from Shehryar was odd because Aiza has totally given everything she has ever earned to her brother’s family & her bhabhi knows that if she will ever seek Aiza’s help, Aiza will never stay back & lend her help by any means possible, so to see her act irrationally just because she now she has sensed some potential advantages of being related to financially stable people is hideous. I think Cuckoo & Bhabhi’s verbal spat was forced & unnecessary. It was a mangni wala ghar & not even a single hovering soul of mehmaan was there to hear them bickering plus the way Bhabhi shouted, people in such occasions are fishing for such controversies to gossip upon & still no one came to find out why such loud voices were being echoed in the home. That could’ve been easily skipped because even after being told off by almost all of the family members, Cuckoo hasn’t moved an inch & hasn’t gotten a hint, she is there to stay & still will stay.

Preview of the next episode suggested something totally unexpected about Aiza & Saad going for a honeymoon. I wouldn’t have believed if they has just shown some clippings because it would’ve come across as Saad’s wishful thinking once again but to hear it from Cuckoo, it am not sure what’s happening. Oh yes! I think they might’ve left for a business trip together which Cuckoo will be naming as a honeymoon. It’s still getting interesting, so let’s wait & watch.

Ohkay so this was another episode where they seem to be taking things just the way we like to see.

It is just me or Saad actually shouldn’t have returned from the UK? Because he certainly deserves to rot. Aiza has tried to make him understand like a million times that she is already married & in love with her husband but Saad doesn’t seem to get the hint. He is one of those mouse who scurry away when they see the cat so for this I think Aiza needs to tell her Mr. Tom that some lunatic Jerry is bothering her & the peace will follow.

I am glad that this accident put Laiba in her right frame of mind & she actually got closer to Aiza because fortunately she didn’t hear anything else that Saad would’ve said to Aiza & in fact only heard that Saad dissed the idea of getting hooked to Laiba which Aiza was convincing him of. I think Laiba is just naive that she gets swayed very very easily. We saw it happening at first with Cuckoo & now again with Aiza.

The deal which Aiza agreed upon with Saad was ridiculous. She is intelligent enough to know that Saad just doesn’t want her hanging around with him as & like a friend. He certainly has these feelings for Aiza which can’t vanish overnight plus Saad was pretty clear that he would only extend courtesy & attention towards Laiba if he gets the same from Aiza. So, I believe if Aiza takes this as an opportunity where she thinks she would be able to convince Saad to love Laiba then she is clearly mistaken.

Saad’s disease seems to be surfacing again & who did we see him with? Yes, his uncool clingy friend who was there to do the honors of their bromance rituals. I think if this disease couldn’t put Saad in his right mental state then nothing else can. Laiba got hold of the situation after her accident but Saad doesn’t seem to get a hint.

I think Aiza’s sneaking away from her husband to see what Saad had to say in the middle of the night was wrong on her part. She thinks she can handle all these things but she doesn’t know she has Cuckoo to deal with who is just waiting for the right moment to snatch happiness away from Aiza. I think the next episode has a lot more to offer because supposedly things are going to slip away from Aiza’s hands. Let’s see.  Plus is it just me or Mehwish Hayat should & must actually change her wardrobe or at least a little attention to what she wears? :/

& oh I have a little Ishq Mein Tere Trivia to play. What can be picked as this family’s family drink? Do let me know if you think you have the right answer. ;)

Ohkay so from now onward they are going to take things slow & I don’t mind it as far as I have reasonable, relate-able characters to fill my Wednesdays. What I love about the show is the approach director has opted for in order to deal with a script like this. The writer & the director along with the whole team deserve a huge appreciation for pulling off Ishq Mein Tere like this.

The best thing about the episode was that they have not resorted to the cheekiness of romance between Aiza & Shehryar. Yes, they got married, we all know about it, they have their feelings growing towards each other, we know of that too. Now they both, like practical adults are working together & spending time with each other at both the office & their home but no effort was made to show their relation forcefully. I am glad they also didn’t move on to the problems Aiza will face just as yet, rather they are building grounds for it, with ease.

There were two predictable moments in the episode which clearly unfolded the way we didn’t expect. First one was about the sketch of Aiza, which we all thought that Shehryar will end up finding about Saad’s feelings but thankfully nothing of that sort happened. Another one was when Cuckoo & Laiba went for a shopping at the very same spot where Aiza & Saad had a brief meeting. I thought the ladies will see them & then Cuckoo will get a chance to malign Aiza more in front of Laiba but once again fortunately it never happened. They did meet Saad but clearly Aiza had left by then.

I think Aiza shouldn’t be playing Miss I-Can-Handle-It-All. She should depend & rely on her husband because she has to be in this family for the rest of her life & it would be appropriate that she lets him take a lead & tackle things for her. I think it’s a high time she starts sharing things with Shehryar because he is understanding & trusts her completely. She shouldn’t spoil it by putting her relation at stake & by walking an extra mile to meet Saad by lying to her husband. Though her intention is not at all wrong but her approach is.

At last, Saad’s friend has done something productive & he talked him out of his sheer fixation of Aiza. His friend gave him a clear reality check which Saad needed. But still Saad on his own has not gained his senses & still is being problematic for Aiza. When Laiba came to meet Saad & to pour some dirt on Aiza, Saad clearly told her to accept Aiza as her step-mother because she is older to her & Laiba shouldn’t disrespect her, so this made me thinking when Saad is so maturely telling Laiba to do what is right, why he is acting the otherwise? Why can’t he accept Aiza as her Chachi & why doesn’t he stop bothering her? Like his friend mentioned, Aiza never ever promised Saad anything nor she got a direct proposal from Saad. Aiza on her own stumbled upon the sketch which Saad himself doesn’t know of. So, in this case, Aiza is free from all the liabilities & Saad should stop making her feel like one.

No doubt Cuckoo’s intentions aren’t clean & she is just using Laiba to get what she wants – both the attention of her & her father but for the sake of Laiba, I think she has found a support she needed at a time like this. At least Cuckoo knows how to calm her down & that is good for Laiba. The ending scene was a bit dragged with Laiba’s irrationality & Saad’s chase but I did find it relief-worthy that Laiba didn’t hear Saad say he loved Aiza. IF Laiba had heard it, things would’ve gotten a lot more nastier for Aiza than her expectations so for that I am happy that Aiza wasn’t dragged into this thing rather Laiba herself saw Aiza convincing Saad to get married to her, which makes me hopeful that Laiba will understand that Aiza had no plans whatsoever of snatching Saad away from her.

Can’t wait for the next episode because I think Saad will continue to be unreasonable & Shehryar might pick on some sort of details.

Another one of interesting episodes that we got to see. No matter what but I am enjoying this show a lot despite the simple predictable story, what I like the most is the direction & the production value they have put to make this drama what it is.

I really & actually thought that the post-wedding scenes of Aiza & Shehryar would be awkward to see but I am amazed at how they have covered their relation, their growing feelings & the love they both are experiencing towards each other. For this I must commend Shehzad Nawaz & Mehwish Hayat for acting it out so decently that I found myself smiling when they both shared a screen space. Aiza has fallen in love with her husband & Sheheryar is in awe of finding a perfect soul-mate, which is absolutely adorable.

I thought I would sympathize with Saad because his first love went bad & to be honest I really do want to feel something for him & his suffering but his unmanly attitude isn’t worth sympathizing with. I think Saad’s character is the weakest in the whole family because before he fell in love, he was too self-centered to actually see what Laiba felt for him & now after he has fallen for Aiza & she has gotten married, he is still ready to think about the ways of winning her love. He is even misbehaving with his mother for no good reason & hovering around Aiza like a Zombie, not at all giving a thought as to what others might think about it. Seriously, how much meaner can one get? Really, the fact that he is unable to cope up with the reality of his love being unrequited is shown appropriately but it’s just his character which is making it intolerable to actually feel anything for him.

I appreciated the fact that there was less emphasis on Laiba this time but in the beginning of the episode she got her fair share of putting the blame on Aiza conveniently. I must say both Laiba & Saad suit each other by all means because both of them are spoiled snots who are testing Aiza’s patience for nothing. She decided what she had to & they are ready to make her life miserable. Cuckoo is being mean to the core & for all the wrong reasons because she just can not get Shehryar & she needs to understand this. I thought Aiza would be submissive to everyone’s idiocy because she would want to make her mark in the family but providentially she is doing it when needed. She isn’t buying all that Cuckoo has to say because no doubt, Aiza has become a permanent member of the family whereas Cuckoo is still a guest in the house. I enjoyed their verbal spats because this sheds light a bit more on Aiza’s character that she won’t entertain any sorts of taunts coming from someone who has no position in the family. Finally, Shehryar also gave Cuckoo a shut-up call which was definitely needed but sadly she still doesn’t know where to stop.

All in all, it was another interesting episode. I hope to see less of Saad’s frowning depressing face & wish he goes on another trip where he gets his attitude fixed. Cuckoo it’s a high time you must pack your bags & find another rich cousin to woo & leave the newlywed happy couple alone. I just can’t wait to find out what would be Shahryar’s reaction to Saad’s painting & the little note of confession about his feelings towards Aiza. I hope nothing goes wrong with their relation plus I think Aiza must tell everything to Shehryar about how Saad felt for him & how she never considered him as a potential life partner. Can’t wait till next Wednesday!

So, the episode was all about everyone’s reaction. Starting from Saad’s mother to Laiba, everyone had a fair share of reactions there which Shehryar & Aiza never expected.

After this episode I thought it would’ve been better if Shehryar had disclosed who he intended to marry, this way he would’ve saved himself & his wife from a lot of awkwardness. Laiba went overboard because she never expected to see her father marry her best friend. She on her own is right to some extent too but I am sure that even if she would try to come to terms with the fact, people around her especially Cuckoo won’t let that happen. Aiza knew how Saad would react but still she managed to rely on Shehryar for his decision of surprising everyone but no one expected Laiba to not even try to understand her father.

Of all the people I found myself giggling at Cuckoo’s reactions & especially how she called her stress-buster employee to shed off all her frustration at him for not doing his work – for not spying properly. Poor guy has to put up with so much but I think that was the funniest part of the episode. I thought Cuckoo would pack her bags & leave ASAP but seems like she has called her dibs on Shehryar way more than it was actually revealed, she still wants him & now seeing how her ego got hurt, I am sure she won’t hold back in going to extremes.

Saad obviously went meager with the news because that was the last thing he expected & just because he is too sensitive to be a guy, we saw him almost fainting. But luckily for Aiza, Saad’s mother reacted positively to their decision of getting married. She seems like a rational person who knows her place & loves taking care of everyone & so for that she not only accepted Shehryar’s decision but also congratulated him on choosing Aiza as his partner. Laiba & Shehryar’s conversation was another high point of the episode. I thought Shehryar would surrender just in order to make his daughter happy but he amazed me with whatever he said. That was definitely appreciable when he told Laiba that he is not liable to anyone without sugarcoating it & that he ain’t even answerable for the choices he makes. I think this is exactly what he had to say because if Laiba thinks she has grown up, then she needs to be treated that way for sure.

Is it just me or I think the actors playing the role of friends are bland? Laiba’s friend Maria & Saad’s friend both these actors are over-doing it, especially I think Saad’s friend overdoes his bits or may be he is soooo much into the character that he wants to put an extra 200% along with his 100% of the acting but sorry buddy, it looks overdone especially when he goes like ‘kya hua Saad, sab theek to hai na Saad, Saad, Saad, Saad, Saad, Saad, Saad, Saad, Saad’. Phew! Anyways, finally Saad’s mother heard Laiba’s little utterance & she got all excited, I am sure just like us she must’ve thought as well ‘k Oooo isay Ammi ki nahi Saad se chummy hone ki khuwahish thi’. LOL.

Well, glad this was another interesting episode & all the reactions were shown appropriately without overdoing any bit. Everyone got to share their feelings & screen time perfectly & looks like Cuckoo has some plans of her rolling as well. Can’t wait for the next episode because it would be having a lot more drama along with Shehryar & Aiza’s growing feelings for one another.

Ohkay, so brace yourselves because I am going to be all praises for this particular episode. This was by far the best episode in terms of performances, dialogues & expression of emotions. I am so glad to have tuned to this show because everything about this simple show is absolutely brilliant.

I definitely thought that the idea of Shehryar & Aiza being together was a little odd & I thought it’s going to be uncomfortable to see them get married but the way they have executed their feelings, their emotions, their pre-wedding conversations, it just came across as nothing unusual. I must give credit to Shehzad Nawaz & Mehwish Hayat for performing so brilliantly today & for making their relation look perfect. When Aiza called Shehryar to confirm the acceptance of his proposal, I had so many questions but the very first one was that isn’t Shehryar curious to find out why she agreed or is he not going to ask her about how she actually feels about getting married to him but thankfully as the episode progressed everything fell perfectly into it’s place & all the aspects were covered brilliantly.

Aiza’s discomfort, Bakhtiyar’s concern, him being apologetic, his dissatisfaction, Bhabhi’s jubilance, Shehryar’s confession, his satisfaction & also Laiba’s excitement about her father’s decision, everything was portrayed with perfection. In terms of acting & dialogues, I restate this has to be the best episode this drama has offered till now. I feel Aiza’s honesty conveyed a lot about who she is as a person & how concerned she is about her priorities. Sheheryar said the right thing that her honesty makes her admirable & also his assurance was something Aiza needed to stay firm on the decision she made. For a moment, I did think why Aiza chose Shehryar over Saad because obviously she knew how he felt about her too but then it reminded me of Laiba’s obsession to her cousin & how Aiza promised Laiba to bring her closer to Saad. So, for that purpose I think Aiza made the right choice.

I would’ve appreciated if they had shown Aiza a bit less burdened by the time she had signed the Nikkah papers because this was her own decision without anyone’s say in it so she should’ve been a bit more confident but I think she knew that Shehryar was keeping it as a surprise for his family, which may have concerned her especially how Laiba would react so I think it was justified for her to be stressed. I felt for poor Saad too, he had just recovered from a fatal disease luckily & obviously he was mentally too fragile to be watching his first love go unrequited. I wish his timing was a bit better but obviously he couldn’t have undone what had to happen.

Indeed the character of Sheheyar Hamdani is that of a gentleman, Aiza’s character is something to look up to. The thing I love about this drama is the characterization. I feel the writer paid special attention to bring out the best of each & every character & the facts about all the characters have been established flawlessly. If we look at Cuckoo, even though she is playing a negative character, she doesn’t come across as someone who is completely evil. To me, she is someone who is very very practical & keeps everything in mind when she deals with people. Her move to Shahryar’s house wasn’t something she just stumbled upon in compulsion, in fact it was a well-thought move on her part because she knew she wanted to settle again but with a financially secure person. I love her bits & bobs with her employee & especially how he is always uneasy & how she bosses around him. I must say Aiza’s bhabhi looked really cute in her yellow outfit with her curly hair-do & loud dramatic makeup, she was just so happy to see Aiza getting married to a rich businessman. Mehwish Hayat looked really pretty too but I would’ve liked if she had chosen a different outfit for her Nikkah. Laiba & Sheheryar’s conversation even though was very short but was just enough to show how strong a father-daughter relation can be plus to see Laiba at her age, being so supportive of her father’s decision to get married again is great too.

Finally, something amazing to watch & I am glad it has not at all been disappointing. I think the director deserves a special mention here because obviously all the credit goes to him for executing such a nice story in an unimaginable way. All the attention to detail, acting of all the actors, I am sure the director has worked really hard to provide us with a decent family entertainment & he succeeded. Totally impressed & looking forward to the next episode because it certainly has a lot more drama to offer.

Ohkay, so another week of interesting episode. I am glad that the pace of the drama has not slowed down. Week after week, one way or the other they do have something new going on.

To add to Aiza’s woes, her brother has crossed all the limits & got himself involved in gambling. For that reason & in order to pay off the debtors he needed 5 lacs for which he obviously emotionally blackmailed Aiza into helping him. Aiza who just couldn’t do anything obviously had to say no but in the end Aiza’s bhabhi ended up helping her husband. Aiza obviously couldn’t tell what she was going through because no one would’ve understood her state of mind especially when her own brother was mentally scattered.

Even though Sheheryar proposed Aiza after mustering up a lot of courage, he later regretted doing it because he thought the time wasn’t right. Aiza’s self utterances in this whole episode were honest & well-communicated. She did feel that Sheheryar misunderstood her friendliness & her advices to get married. She only did that out of sheer courtesy but never knew she’d be the one who’d seem suitable to Sheheryar for filling up the emotional void in his life. Aiza’s resignation was the best fit reaction she could think of given the circumstances because she didn’t want to make things awkward for both herself & her boss Sheheryar Hamdani.

Even though Aiza’s brother understood the hell he has been putting up his family into, I guess he ran a bit too late. His realizations seemed just like mere excuses because it still looks like he might just not change at all as he is immuned to being financially supported by his sister. Even though Bakhtiyaar does feel that Aiza puts up with a lot for the sake of keeping this family afloat, he still doesn’t feel like contributing a bit for his own family.

In the meanwhile, Saad’s mother who wanted to lay her opposition in front of Sheheryar didn’t find a suitable chance because Cuckoo swooped in. Cuckoo has quite tactfully found the way to be friends with Laiba & that is by speaking to her about Saad & their potential future. I actually thought Laiba was a bit wise enough but she fell prey to the trap quite easily.

I think even though Sheheryar Hamdani is still a good choice for Aiza but her excuse of getting married to him is wrong. She is just now only thinking about her family because obviously she knows after getting shot by a bullet, her brother can be upto anything possible. For her, the people who matter the most are her brother’s children & for them she is ready to go out of the way to get married to her boss so that she can save their future. In the next episode, she is definitely getting married & I am sure Saad would still have to find out about what happened to his one-sided love.

So this week the focal point was Shehryar Hamdani’s marriage. I am surprised that how a simple story can be executed so nicely. Every character is etched out perfectly & even the one who is in the negative limelight is not evil to such an extent where she is leaving the Satan behind. All the characters are nicely thought of to make them relatable.

Aiza was just being Aiza but Sheheryar Hamdani couldn’t resist her charisma & charm. She is a pleasant person to be with & I don’t blame him to actually fall for her. She is a bit too mature for her age & for that reason Sheheryar found himself opening up in front of her. He could talk about so much to Aiza that he never found himself doing previously with anyone. Even though Cuckoo has tried really hard to get herself noticed but for him, she is just a friendly cousin with whom he shares a healthy equation with.

Saad is all alone in UK trying to get healthy but I find it a bit unreal that all this while he has succeeded in hiding his disease. Plus chemotherapy has months of breaks in between the respective sessions so how can he get away from all his responsibilities just under the name of a vacation. Even though they have not shown how much time has passed but definitely if he gets clean of the disease within a month, it would be a little detail which wasn’t tackled properly.

Saad’s friend sounded a bit confused to me today because he was the one who compelled him to get better but now what he said wasn’t making any sense for sure. I think he also spoiled Saad’s suspense of surprising his mother by telling her about the lady love. In the meanwhile, Cuckoo has tried really hard to make an impression on Sheheryar that she is single & ready to mingle with him but Sheheryar is too pre-occupied with Aiza in his thoughts that poor Cuckoo’s moves are being unnoticed.

Saad’s mother dreads that Sheheryar might get married to Cuckoo but he has his own pick & she is Aiza. I think Aiza would definitely be reluctant because she never gave him those signals as she was just being courteously cordial with him considering how generous & accommodating they have been when it came to her professional life but she couldn’t control the feelings of men around her at the office, be it Saad or now even Shehryar. I think her brother will get into some deep trouble & for that reason she might agree to get married to him. Let’s see what happens next as I am definitely watching out for more.

Surprise surprise, this drama is getting really interesting. Plus I enjoyed this episode a lot more than the previous ones may be because we’re done with the introductory phase & now the plot is on the move. Plus it is really appeasing to see that such a simple story can leave you with a good taste after the episode ends.

Of all the things, one particular detail that I love in a drama is when the misunderstandings are sorted without a further a due so for this reason it was a win win situation for me when Aiza directly asked Laiba what was bothering her & later clarified that she is being candid with Saad so that she can improvise Laiba’s feelings in front of him. I am glad that Laiba understood her ASAP because no matter what she really & actually respected Aiza a lot, so I am happy that they both got back to how they were.

Sheheryar got a bit concerned about Laiba’s continuous outbursts & for that after having a conversation with psychiatrist he understood that Laiba still misses her mother a lot. Even after Sheheryar has done everything for her definitely he falls a little short because he has a business to run too. Laiba’s Tai Ammi loves her & gives her utmost attention but still there’s an emotional void in Laiba. All the others, including the psychiatrists may think that it is because of the lack of attention & due to the absence of her mother but only Laiba herself & Aiza know that the main reason is Saad. Laiba only wants his attention & a name to their relation.

Finally, the weird Cuckoo has arrived. I loved how Laiba did not entertain her at all because she found her annoying & was getting irritated by her needless displays of perfection. It was rightly shown that a well-settled woman like her could feel insecure by a normal girl like Aiza who is the least harmful. Obviously Cuckoo has called her dibs on Sheheryar but luckily for him he is getting to spend time with Aiza, away from all the other diversions.

I think it would’ve been better if Aiza in stead of re-furnishing her house, changed the locality of her place because now she is earning well & obviously a change of place would be a better idea. Gladly, Aiza’s bhabhi has acknowledged all the efforts Aiza are putting in for the benefit of this family so luckily Aiza won’t have to worry about her personal life because that is sailing smoothly.

Finally, the scenic scenes of TURKI as Aiza’s brother said have started & to surprise myself I found the conversations of Sheheryar & Aiza really interesting. I wanted to hear more from him because all this while he was busy but this is the first time we got to know a lot more about his character & it was definitely something pleasant. At first I thought that the idea of Aiza & Sheheryar being together was a bit odd but the way they have done things, it doesn’t look unusual at all. Sheheryar thinks he has found someone who understands him a bit better but Aiza was just being herself because she is just such a positive human being that she doesn’t need to pretend or something, so just like that & just so effortlessly she makes people like her.

Next episode has a lot more drama going on so let’s see how it unfolds. Waiting eagerly for next Wednesday, bring it on please!

Another week with a great episode. It’s actually interesting to see how smoothly things are unfolding in this drama. I think we have seen so many unrealistically real dramas in this whole year that to see something this simple is actually doing the trick.

Aiza on her own has made some plans of bringing Laiba & Saad close to one another but she is still in a state of shock because she didn’t expect anything more from Saad then just a healthy professional relationship. Saad has his feelings rolling for Aiza but I am sure she will not accept any thing of that sort because Laiba is too dear to her. I was glad to see Saad’s positive attitude about his disease & the treatment. They kept it realistic & motivational that he just didn’t leave any hopes & locked himself in the room because he was suffering from something leathel. In fact his one-sided love was enough of a force for him to actually make a move on getting treated because he wants to return clean for Aiza & I loved the way they showed that how such a huge ordeal can be dealt in such a positive manner.

Laiba sadly got deviated away from the reality & got misapprehension about Saad actually loving her. She only eavesdropped on half of what Saad & his mother were discussing & she went into her dream-land. I was amazed that Saad’s mother picked up the right reason about Laiba’s fury towards Aiza. Obviously, she doesn’t know the exactly accurate reason but she knows that there are some harsh feelings harboring in Laiba’s heart for Aiza.

Laiba’s father thought it was a right decision to speak to Aiza about it because he knows what sort of a relation they both share. Aiza still has not totally understood why Laiba was avoiding her but I am sure she will soon find out. Saad was just in the nick of time when he stopped Laiba from looking at the painting because another hell would’ve broken loose because she had already over-reacted a lot just at the thought of them both being together during the office hours. But glad that thing has subsided for now. Saad has given a hint to Aiza about how important a thing he has to discuss with her but I am sure what he will hear will be totally unexpected.

Next episode tells a new story of Aiza getting to spend some more time with Laiba’s father on a business trip. I am sure Laiba’s father won’t be able to resist getting attentive towards Aiza because till now she has proven herself completely, so he has got no reasons not to get attracted towards her. Let’s see what happens next as I am sure it is getting a bit more interesting now!

Ohkay even though we know where this drama is going, it is still enough of an entertainment for the prime time. I am enjoying this drama even though they have offered nothing new in respect to the story but it’s the execution that is making us want to see more of it.

Aiza has totally outdone herself in her professional career & for that matter she has become a centre of everyone’s attention. Be it Saad, his mother & even Laiba’s father, everyone’s praising Aiza for her intelligence & vigilance she shows at the office. Apparently she has earned a lot more respect after getting another deal approved.

Even though Saad has found out about what he is suffering from & refuses to tell anyone in his family about it, it was a relief to know that he has a friend who supports him. According to his friend he shouldn’t hold back & confess to Aiza & Saad eventually planned it that way but sad for him that he couldn’t tell about his feelings to Aiza himself.

The whole scene of Aiza finding about what Saad feels for her unfolded just perfectly. She happened to stumble in his studio & find out a little writing of Saad’s confession. Aiza would obviously resist falling for Saad because she endears Laiba a lot & she knows how much she loves him. Even though Aiza tried to bring the subject of Laiba in front of Saad, he was just preoccupied with his one-sided love for Aiza that he didn’t want to pay attention to it.

At last, Laiba & Aiza’s relation will start declining because Laiba has gotten a heed of where Saad’s getting inclined to. Even he clearly told her to back off because he didn’t want to be dictated & now that would open another chapter of Laiba’s misery which she will blame Aiza for. Even though Laiba is not pretty much interested in what’s going on in the office she still did not appreciate the idea of Aiza getting the attention & acknowledgement in comparison to Saad. Another one of Laiba’s ordeal began when Saad himself took a stand for Aiza & clearly told her that he will not stop meeting her, I am sure she will react because she has always gotten everyone’s attention & her inferiority complexes will swoop in just about starting from now as she is already ticked off with the attention Aiza’s getting.

I believe Aiza’s doing & earning quiet well so she must change the locality of her house. In stead she should rent a decent apartment somewhere because she looks too polished for her current Area. Seems like Fauzia’s cousin Ahmed Ali has set his eye on Aiza because now everyone can see the car she owns & cash she carries, so just like her brother & sister in law, Ahmed Ali too feels that Aiza is the right choice because she would benefit him in monetary aspects a lot.

For me the drama is so far so good. Can’t wait to see what Laiba’s moves would be. Mediha Imam has done an amazing job as Laiba, her acting is as good as she looks & everyone else seems to be doing a great job as well where the acting is concerned.

Ohkay, so this was another week of a smooth paced episode. The story seems to be progressing appropriately along with a great direction so far. Nothing seems over the top & everything is pretty well balanced.

Even though it may come across as a predictable plot, it still is appeasing to watch because there are as such no completely & insanely negative characters. Aiza’s bhabhi does fill a space of that sort at times but she still shows compassion towards her when she finds her working really hard to earn the bread of the house. Aiza’s brother is definitely a spoiled one who loves to depend on his sister. Though I do really find Aiza’s personality to good to be amongst her family because she is unrealistically different & doesn’t embody any of the characterisistics similar to her brother. If she came from a lower middle class BUT a decent family background, it would’ve been a bit more appropriate looking at how Aiza herself is but seeing her family background, she is too good to be a part of them.

Her bhabhi at first wanted to get rid of her unmarried nand Aiza but after she found herself a job, she thinks it is a better idea to be benefitted from her earnings. The whole rishta scene was another reality nicely spurn into the situation because there are like a million girls out there who deserve better spouses but get married to guys rather uncles below their caliber just because of the family pressure. I am glad Aiza endured but undid the pressure.

Aiza has quite clearly understood that nothing was going to happen by the money she was earning through tutoring therefore she found herself completely lucky to have Laiba around. She discussed her issue with her & Laiba swooped in like some wish granting fairy. Even though Aiza had Laiba’s reference yet Saad found her promising, I am assuming his love at first sight feelings must be another case why Aiza easily got a job, but on her own, she promised to be working hard & seems like she has started to prove it too.

Laiba continues to like Saad a lot but Saad has made it quite clear to his mother about how he doesn’t want to get married to Laiba because to him she is just like a baby sister & buddy who he has shared a home & life with, which seems rightly justified too. Laiba is such a nice character but poor girl would face a heart-break soon.

Preview of the next episode seemed really interesting because Saad’s mom has tried to convince Laiba’s father of getting married & for that I am sure his first choice would be Aiza. Saad seems to be going through some illness which later on will be revealed but so far the drama seems good. I am glad about the direction too because nothing is too overly emphasized & everything seems perfect. Glad to have found a decent play to fill our Wednesdays.

So we’re 3 episodes down & surprisingly I am not disappointed. The pace is perfect & everything seems to be in it’s right place. I like how the story is progressing properly without any unnecessary emphasis on the situations.

Aiza has started to make a mark in her professional life too. Personally, she had Laiba’s support & had impressed her perfectly but this time around Aiza got to make an appearance in Laiba’s family too & that too quite regularly. Laiba’s father thinks Aiza is very dear to Laiba so for that he wants them to spend time together as Laiba is his only child & has no one else to look up to. I love the bonding these two share even though Aiza is older to her but still the way she treats Laiba like her own younger sister & listens to her rants & personal feelings is really nice.

What I have liked about this drama is that the characters are simple & relate-able. No one is evil more than lucifer here & no one has crossed saint-ism leaving saints behind. Everyone is just an ordinary human being with their feelings, struggles & affection for one another & that makes this drama experience a bit more interesting to watch.

Saad has totally fallen for Aiza in fact it was so apparent that his friend got a hint of it too. Saad’s continuous gestures are definitely showing how much he likes Aiza but she is for now oblivious of his feelings. The lunch & then the birthday present were enough to let any girl know how one feels but Aiza is too swamped with her office works that she is just not getting the hint, even though she misunderstood about who sent the present but still accepted it thinking Laiba loves to surprise her.

In the meanwhile Saad’s mother had spoken to Laiba’s father about settling down with a life partner & he refused but I am sure he won’t be able to resist Aiza’s charm & positive energy too. Another interesting thing was that even though Aiza had Laiba’s reference in her family company still she has not taken things for granted & is proving herself through her intelligence & that makes me love her positivity.

The funny change in the mood was coming from Aiza’s bhabhi who now thinks it’s useless to get a girl married away who is now earning benefits of her hard-work so for that she shoo-ed away the rishta wali but what’s sad is how her brother is shamefully depending on Aiza for running the household whereas she shouldn’t be doing it. Every time I hear Aiza’s family talk I still feel that Aiza is too good to be a part of that family because there is not even an ounce of similarity that a family shares, no manners that match & no compatibility but still over all it’s a very very decent drama & I won’t mind it being predictable as far as the story is real & no mirch masala is added just for the sake of making a story different.

Sad about what Saad is facing on his own but seeing the preview of the next episode came as a pleasant surprise that even though Saad knows what he is going through he is not leaving his hope behind & plans on proposing Aiza. I am sure the next episode will get a bit more interesting because Laiba will have an idea about what has transpired & will have her say on it.

Hmmm, so the drama has started off pretty well. Mostly the plays directed by Fahim Burney have a bit over-the-top & larger-than-life feel to them but this one seemed quite normal. Nothing too overly enhanced & everything seemed to be in a perfect balance.

We can pretty much see that the story would develop on the lines of a love triangle but for now the characters have been established in a positive light. For me the best or may be the most clear character that came across till now was that of Aiza’s. Aiza (Mehwish Hayat) comes from an incomplete, socially middle-class family & she is living with her brother, her sister in law & two of her brother’s kids. Aiza who’s a simpleton still comes across as a self-sufficient person, who wants to take care of her family in every way possible. She has found ways of supporting her family through tutoring but still her bhabhi keeps on trying to find reasons to be unhappy with Aiza. Even though Aiza comes from a disturbed background where her brother is financially dependent on her, is not best at behaviour too but she on her own is working hard to make things work for her & especially her brother’s children.

Laiba happens to be Aiza’s student who is living with her Tai Ammi, her father & her first cousin Saad. They both also have incomplete families because Saad’s father has passed away & Laiba’s bio-mom left her when she was a kid. In comparison to Aiza, Laiba’s family has a sound financial background but Aiza keeps a check on the difference & doesn’t take unnecessary favours from her student. Laiba & Aiza both share a strong sister-like bond & Laiba takes Aiza as her friend/sister & someone on whom she relies the most. Not only Laiba but Saad’s mother thinks Aiza has had a positive impact on Laiba because she can see the changes she is bringing in herself. She is obviously in love with her cousin Saad but he is oblivious of her feelings. I must say that as a newbie Mediha Imam has done a wonderful job as Laiba. I found her acting spot-on & just like a college-going student should be.

There was a whole positive feel to the drama except that I found the bhai-bhabhi’s spat a bit unreal. Bhabhi’s wawela made me laugh because her acting was poor especially in that particular scene. Finally, Saad got to see Aiza & as we can name it, he experienced love at first sight at that particular moment. He couldn’t help notice how beautiful she is (which she obviously looked), so that lays the path to a beginning of love triangle. I am sure Aiza would be put in an awkward spot because Laiba has told Aiza how she feels for Saad, so let’s see what’ll happen next. Over all the direction seems fit & the characters have unfolded appropriately. I think this is going to be a decent drama for Wednesdays & I am definitely keeping an eye on it.
