Before readers start reading what I have to say, I must make one thing very clear that I am not trying to judge anyone but I am merely sharing how I have felt about the attitude of Pakistani viewers and perhaps people in general too especially in the past few days. I want to hear how people feel about what I think and that is the only reason for writing this article.
We all know how the majority of the Pakistani television viewers or the Pakistani awaam, in general, feels about the airing of Turkish and Indian dramas on Pakistani channels. Very often we see people calling those who watch these dramas unpatriotic. People have very often told viewers who like Turkish or Indian dramas to move to those countries (because they don’t deserve to live in Pakistan!) especially if you praise anything Indian you are very likely to get an extreme backlash from people on social media or different blogs.
People have very often said that Indian dramas or films do not reflect our “culture” and therefore should be banned. Turkish dramas were criticized to the limit only because they were foreign and different from Pakistani dramas. Our producers and actors went ballistic when Turkish dramas were aired saying that it will ruin everything for them. The criticism on online social media is so severe that people who watch these dramas are in fact scared of showing their likeness for these dramas on public forums. Online drama sites like dramasonline and many others get thousands of requests on a daily basis when they do not upload these dramas also many people watch them online when they are uploaded but there are hardly any comments under these dramas’ videos because people know that if they comment then they will have an army of people who will call them all sorts of names and make them feel guilty for watching these plays.
Lately, Pakistani dramas have been airing in different countries as well, I have noticed how ecstatic the viewers and even the producers are with this latest development. They can’t stop retweeting the praises that Pakistani dramas are getting especially from across the border, which means that they are happy that the Indians are appreciating their plays. Even the newspapers and blogs can’t stop covering the airing of Pakistani dramas in India with a very positive mindset. The mindset with which the airing of Turkish dramas was covered was entirely different. Now how would we feel if people of the countries in which Pakistani dramas are being telecast reacted in the same way in which many of the Pakistanis react to these developments? We would be calling them bigoted, racist, small-minded, and whatnot. Faysal Qureshi was one of those celebrities who were dead against airing foreign content but now we see him retweeting articles that praise the impact of Pakistani dramas in India.
Here are the tweets of some renowned Indian celebrities about Pakistani dramas, my question is how will we react if our celebrities start being honest like this? Will we be able to take it??
I found this “masterpiece” on the web which pretty much sums up what I am trying to say!
Now that Pakistani dramas are being shown and liked by many in other countries I would like to ask people if airing of other countries’ dramas is such a bad thing after all. And what impression do most people get of us when we feel insecure when Indian and Turkish dramas are aired here. Are we culturally invading India and many other countries now by letting our dramas air there? Of course, we are not, it is more like a healthy cultural exchange which helps bring the two countries together. If our celebrities copy India or prefer to work in India then that is their choice, it is not the fault of any other country! If the divorce rate in the country is increasing we should try to find out what actually is causing this rise rather than putting the blame on Indian and Turkish dramas! We should stop blaming other people for our weaknesses and we should also think about what message we are sending to the world when we pass such narrow-minded comments about people who like Indian and Turkish dramas. I obviously know why everyone is happy now that Pakistani dramas are going international, I am obviously one of those proud Pakistanis too who are very happy that our talent is being recognized internationally but don’t you think that we should welcome foreign content with the same positivity and a big heart too. When other countries appreciate our serials it is a yay but when foreign content airs in Pakistan why is it a nay?

With the world getting modern each second, the rituals and the traditions are also changing accordingly. What our parents used to like in their childhood was what that completely differed to our hobbies and interests and similarly, the kids of today have their own life in which they have new trends, which is obvious and quite understandable too. However, what makes this topic relevant enough to be discussed is the fact that are the children of today know a little too much than what they should know in their age? Let us see in detail.
Going back to few years, say 90’s, children and the childhood seemed much civilized. Getting up at 7am and doing breakfast watching the daily telecast of DODO cartoon on STN (the only private channel that kept the people of the nation entertained along with PTV) and leaving for school, having the sweet thoughts of how amazing the cartoon series were, was certainly bliss. Returning from the school and taking nap with an excitement to get up at 5 to watch the Cartoon Network which used to be aired on STN for two hours. Watching Camp Candy and Tom and Jerry had its own charm in every way. While the children used to enjoy two dedicated hours of the channels, parents too, on the other hand, used to be much relaxed about the secured content been watched by their children. All in all, watching television was a source of entertainment and not a source of living as it has become now.
If you analyze the blessings of few channels in past, you would see that the children were far better students in the past as compared to now. There were special magazines been printed for the kids like Taleem-o-Tarbiyat and Hamdard Naunehal that encouraged the young learners to pay attention on their reading and understanding skills! Even watching news was a part of learning where students were been directed by their teachers to watch the News been aired at 9pm, where students could learn about the current happenings within the country and the world, which is now obviously pretty different these days.
Now that the world has taken new moves in every sense, the living standards and the life styles have also changed drastically. These days the routine of the children is such that a child sleeps late at night, probably because he is either watching Big Boss late at night or his favorite movie and gets up late for school, often feeling dizzy and mentally tired. Leaving for school without breakfast and spending at least half an hour in dressing up like John Abraham and setting up the spikes (The mountains as I call them) over their head. The class discussions are no more limited to the course but often revolve around the latest movies, the celebrity updates and the latest songs. Now that the media has grown much rapidly, no household can avoid the melodramas and the weird topics that are enough to make children someone above their age.
The 24/7 telecast of Cartoon Network, Nick, Disney, etc., has made the cartoon world a less interesting place as now children are much interested in the daily soaps and the love stories that are a must-to-have part. Think about the serial Cinderella, isn’t it funny to change the entire theme of the fairytale under the same slogan? Think about the new spiderman drama where a mother-in-law keeps on sticking to her son’s room, never leaving a chance of privacy. I mean, this is something that is not only dangerous for the nourishment of the little minds but also a threat to the literature and history.
The question still remains, do the children know more than they should, according to me, yes, and thanks to media for this. Even if we skip the drama industry for now, the news and the street shows are enough to do the remaining task. Take my example, I didn’t know anything about the gay society till my O levels, Too dumb of me I guess, but now there are special shows with bold headings going on, showing interviews of the gays and the live shoot across the streets. How does it possible that first you show everything to the young minds and then expect them to stay away? There are families who do not approve such shows in front of their children but again, for how long they can protect them from watching the 24/7 online dirt? It’s merely impossible!
Children are becoming bold, losing the sense of boundaries and even a grade VI student can identify whether his teacher is pregnant or not. These are the facts that seem quite absurd to hear or to talk about but really, there is a serious need of recalculating our moral values.
The Media is not the only one to be blamed here, but an overall change of mentalities is needed in the country. Being a part of a Muslim state, it is important to match the fakeness of today with the reality of the religion-and-civilization.
Ramadan is the most blessed month for Muslims, it is the month when all Muslims try their best to put worldly affairs behind and concentrate on making the most of the holy month. Everything changes in a good and positive way in homes as well as the national level to facilitate Islamic rituals during this Holy month. There was a time not very long ago when our television channels used to pay respect to this holy month by telecasting special Ramadan transmission, there were hardly any dramas on air in those days during Ramadan so that people can enjoy this blessed month in its true spirit and not waste their time watching dramas. Things have changed a lot for the past few years now. Yes, the special Ramadan shows are still shown on every channel but the people who host them are controversial celebrities like Maya Khan and Veena Malik.
Is that not like making fun of the holy month? How many people think that such people are suitable for hosting such shows? The channels who hire them also know very well that these celebrities are very controversial and know nothing about religion and that is the very reason why they are chosen for this job. The channels don’t care about the spirit behind these shows, they do not even respect the holy month of Ramadan, all they want are more TRPs and usually controversial people get more attention than the non controversial ones whether people like them or not. Till last year no one even knew there was a channel with the name of Hero TV but their controversial step to let Veena Malik host the Astagfar show gave them a lot of publicity, yes it is true that it was bad publicity but sometime bad publicity helps too!!
Last year the so called Ramadan special plays also made a mockery of the holy month. I might be very stupid to think so but the purpose of anything that is Ramadan special should be to specially deliver the message of Ramadan? I do not mind if there is some decent element of entertainment in such shows but how do love triangles, lame jokes and over acting deliver the message of Ramadan. I know very well that our media is free and most of all very money minded now, when it comes to making money there will be no compromise, Ramadan or no Ramadan but for God’s sake if you have to show such things during Ramadan do not call them Ramadan special shows and plays because that makes no sense at all. These special shows are aired during Ramadan only so it means that they should be linked with the holy month in some way but maybe our channels feel that people are so bored of fasting that they need nonsensical entertainment to cheer them up!!!
You people must have seen the promos of another Ramadan special (so-called) that we will be seeing on our screen this year, if you haven’t then here Is the video. So now it is not just controversial celebrities and nonsensical shows but also naach gana that will be a special part of the special Ramadan transmission. Are these people foolish or do they think that people are stupid? Can someone please tell our channel owners that people do not want to watch this rubbish during Ramdan and especially they should stop calling such shows Ramadan specials because they have nothing to do with Ramadan.
If our channels cannot take a step in the right direction to promote the spirit of Ramadan then it is my request that they should not make a mockery of this holy month too. Do you want to see such shows during Ramdan? Do you want Ramadan special talk shows to be hosted by controversial celebrities or religious scholars? Please share your views.
Aiman Khan and Minal Khan are both very successful actresses from the Pakistani entertainment industry. The sisters started out their acting journey when they were just kids and have been working in the industry since. Aiman Khan is now married to actor Muneeb Butt who himself is a big actor with many hit projects under his belt. Minal Khan on the other hand just got married recently to actor Ahsan Mohsin Ikram. Aiman has been on a sabbatical from acting since the birth of her daughter Amal Muneeb while Minal has been in dramas like Jalan and Nand putting her on the map. THe sister duo have beautifully blended families with their husbands also having great camaraderie between them.
Aiman and Minal are twins and their fans even today get confused between them. They have both carved their individual identities but still are the same old Aiman and Minal looks wise. Recently on the Mirza Malik Show, Aiman Khan and Muneeb Butt were asked if Muneeb and Ahsan can differentiate between them easily or do they get confused.
Aiman revealed that they both still get confused about identifying the sisters. Muneeb has been a part of the family for many years now so he is better but Ahsan Mohsin Ikram gets confused a lot between Aiman and Minal.
Do Kinaray is a hit Pakistani drama series on Green Entertainment, written by Rehana Aftab and directed by Faisal Bukhari. The drama is produced by Multiverse Entertainment. The cast includes Junaid Khan, Momina Iqbal, Amna Malik, Hira Soomro, and others. The story revolves around a cunning girl, Dureshehwar, who ruins multiple homes and lives—including those of her siblings, herself, and her child. So far, the series has aired 44 episodes, with each episode garnering around 5 million views.
Fans are loving Momina Iqbal’s acting and many say that she is the main reason behind drama’s success.
The drama has been well received by fans; however, many are now eager to see the ending of the show. The makers and the channel have announced a new schedule for Do Kinaray, according to which it will air four days a week—from Monday to Thursday at 8:00 pm.
Many viewers want the drama to conclude soon and are voting for the last episode. Some have commented that Green Entertainment needs to maintain regular drama slots, as frequent changes seem unprofessional. Many viewers are happy that the channel will now air more episodes. Read comments here:
The popular Green Entertainment drama serial Do Kinaray has concluded its 65-episode run, leaving a wave of outrage and debate across social media. The drama, which aired at 8:00 pm from Monday to Wednesday every week, reached a highly controversial climax today, sparking immediate backlash from its dedicated audience. Written by Rehana Aftab, directed by Syed Faisal Bukhari, and produced by Tehreem Chaudhary of Multiverse Entertainment, the serial centered on Dureshehwar, a ruthless and rude girl whose anger ultimately destroys her life. The cast was led by Junaid Khan and Momina Iqbal, alongside Amina Malik and others.
In the finale, the character Dureshehwar’s fate was sealed in tragedy. Despite her constant efforts, Waleed chose his pregnant wife and refused to reconcile. Unable to bear the final defeat and betrayal, Dureshehwar shockingly shot herself.
The audience reaction was swift and overwhelmingly negative. Many viewers felt strongly that Dureshehwar should have been given a second chance at redemption, arguing that the writer did a profound injustice to the character. Comments like, “The writer did injustice to Dureshehwar and Waleed’s second wife won over her,” dominated the online conversation. Another fan mused, “One thing is when there’s love, flaws are not noticed… I think they could have been together, but because people criticize, that’s why such an ending happened. Miss you, Dure.” A few viewers raised serious concerns, stating that the tragic ending also glorified a harmful act like suicide.
The finale was further scrutinized by many who pointed out that the entire last scene—Dureshehwar’s tragic suicide after taking a shower and wearing a white dress, leaving a message detailing her wrongs—was a near-exact copy of the famous last scene of the Turkish drama Ishq e Mamnu (Bihter’s suicide).
Despite the controversial storyline, the performances of the lead actors were universally praised. Momina Iqbal was singled out for her powerful portrayal, with one fan declaring her “the best actress.” The chemistry between the leads also sparked a new fan movement, with viewers demanding to see Momina Iqbal and Junaid Khan paired together again soon in a new romantic drama.
Do Kinaray is a drama that has gripped the audience. The drama had nothing new to offer. It was an old time script about a vamp digging holes in every household she passes but Momina Iqbal’s acting as well as how she styled and presented her character made the show an audience favourite. The drama has run for over 60 episodes now and Dureshehwar is the only one people can see.
Do Kinaray has received a lot of love from fans and every episode ends up receiving over 3 million views. The drama is definitely a hit but the makers have been dragging the story unnecessarily for the past few weeks. Though the views are coming in, fans have complained about destroying a good drama with this dragging.
The drama is finally going to have its finale. Green TV revealed the last episode date for Do Kinaray. The drama is ending on 30th September and fans will be looking forward to knowing what will become of Dureshehwar after everything that she did. Many fans want her to have redemption and they want Waleed to forgive her while others want Karma to hit her badly.
Here is the announcement for the Do Kinaray finale:
Aysha Khan is a mainstream Pakistani television actor known for her dramas Dooriyan, Qissa-e-Dil, Daagh-e-Dil, and Taray. She also appeared in the popular Pakistani feature film Daghabaaz Dil. Her recent claim-to-fame project is Do Kinaray, which aired on Green Entertainment. In the drama, she played the role of Dureshehwar’s mother, a character that was well-received by viewers. Aysha Khan is a friendly, fun-loving celebrity who enjoys sharing life updates on social media.
These days, Aysha Khan has been posting new videos and pictures that are gaining more attention due to her recent success in Do Kinaray. She recently shared a video in which her over the top and exaggerated actions and dressing style have sparked backlash. She wore off-white pants paired with a warm blue blazer and was constantly posing and walking with style. Here is the link to the video:
Social media users are trolling Aysha Khan for her over-the-top Instagram reel. One wrote, “Is this Dureshehwar’s mother? In the drama she was such a simple woman — she looks even more modern than her own daughter in real life.” Another commented, “Now it makes sense why she played Dureshehwar’s mother.” One viewer said, “I loved her in the drama, but this reel made me dislike her — she looked much better in character.” Another user added, “Oh, so she’s the one who played that shareef mother in Do Kinaray.” One wrote, “And they play so pious and simple women in the dramas” Read the comments:
Do Kinaray is a drama that started well. With Momina Iqbal’s stint as Dureshehwar, the show received great ratings and fans loved it for how a vamp can be so stylish and interesting. The drama has now gone downhill into a deep ditch. It is being dragged for no reason and all the good people are in extreme misery. Fans are hopeless and they have nothing to look forward to.
Waleed who used to be a green flag is once again in love with Dureshehwar as she is making him dance like a puppet. He has suddenly forgotten the death of his daughter Dua. His wife Mawra is an afterthought and she is doing nothing in the plot. Do Kinaray fans are frustrated and they are questioning everything.
This is what is going down over and over again:
Do Kinaray fans are over it. One fan wrote, “I am probably a beghairat who is still watching this.” Another added, “This bakwas needs to end now.” One said, “What are they even showing with a divorced couple hanging out so casually.” This has been the reaction:
Do Kinaray is a drama that has gathered ratings and views due to its very toxic content. Momina Iqbal as Dureshehwar has won the hearts of millions with her strong portrayal of a stylish villain. The drama has stretched to 57 episodes now and it is still not ending anytime soon. We saw Dureshehwar making new plans and they are not good ones.
Do Kinaray has shown Dureshehwar on a new mission. She has killed off her daughter Dua, gotten rid of her second husband and now she wants Waleed back. She is calling him, asking him to come for dinner and visiting him frequently. Fans are not too happy with this new development and had a lot to say.
The drama’s fans feel they are now indirectly promoting extra-marital affairs with this track. One user said, “Are they trying to promote extra-marital affairs with Waleed caring for Dureshehwar.” Another added, “This drama needs to end now.” One said, “Take this Do Kinaray to a Kinara now.” This is the reaction:
Do Kinaray starring Momina Iqbal and Junaid Khan has hooked the audience since the very first episode. The show has a toxic heroine which is a first. People love Dureshehwar’s antics while at the same time calling her out for all her schemes. Momina Iqbal has nailed the character making this show one of the most watched on television.
The latest twist in Do Kinaray had seriously divided fans. We saw Dureshehwar running when Shaheer tried to kill her. She was able to survive and finally she was able to get a phone, and called Waleed, as she had memorized his number only. Waleed did not even take a minute before he came to rescue Dureshehwar from her ordeal with her brother Taimoor. She saw her with envy in her eyes as he rescued her.
Here is the dramatic rescue mission:
Fans are now divided into two camps. One camp wants them back together. One user wrote, “They should patch up. Waleed and Dure look good together.” Another added, “Mawra looks like a maasi. Marry Dure again. You can keep two wives.” While the other camp is hating on Waleed for rescuing Dureshehwar.” One said, “Waleed loves Dure’s looks and can’t get over her.” Another said, “He is a two-faced hypocrite. He never loved Mawra.” A viewer added, “He needs to care more for his family and less for Dure.” This is what happened after the latest episode of Do Kinaray:
Do Kinaray is a drama that has gained millions of views on Green TV. The drama is loved for how toxic Momina Iqbal is as Dureshehwar. The way she portrayed the vamp has made this drama a big hit. We were finally shown how she snatched away the child, Dua from her ex-husband Waleed played by Junaid Khan. The child was used by her mother for revenge and she was not taking care of her asthma at all.
The latest episode of Do Kinaray showed how Dureshehwar was once again concened about lawyers and going to her husband’s house to threaten him while her own daughter ended up dead due to her negligence and her selfishness. This is the first time that Dureshehwar was also shocked in the drama.
This is what went down:
The fans of the drama are extremely upset over the twist. One user wrote, “Dureshehwar should have died instead of Dua.” Another added, “I kept checking on my own children after watching that scene.” One said, “It is the courage of the child actor’s parents to let her film this scene.” This is what went down:
Do Kinaray stars Momina Iqbal and Junaid Khan in the lead roles. The show started out with a bang and fans were in love with the strong and negative character of Dureshehwar. She has been winning since the very start. She has destroyed everything and everyone and she is not stopping even after nearly 50 episodes. It was entertaining at the start but fans have different thoughts now.
Do Kinaray is now at a point where Dureshehwar has been a clear winner while all the other characters have zero IQ. Her father also died and she is now going to get her brother divorced. The toxicity is not stopping and fans are over it. They want this stretching to stop and the toxicity to end.
This is what is happening:
Fans have a lot to say about this constant toxicity in the show. One user said, “This drama needs to end. It is so toxic.” Another added, “This is so much Star Plus.” One said, “I only watch promos now. This is too toxic.” This is what people think:
Do Kinaray is a drama that is ruling the viewship charts. The show has been a hit due to Momina Iqbal’s strong portrayal of Dureshehwar. She is the most loved villain right now. The way she manipulates everyone is a treat to watch and she is on another prowl as she is ready to take down Shaheer, Waleed and now even her brother Taimoor. Taimoor has never been a very bright character and he is married to Waleed’s sister Aima.
Dureshehwar has once again successfully manipulated her mother and brother and she is all set to destroy her brother’s marriage. Do Kinaray takes a turn as Aima decides to support her own brother and straight tells her husband how he is being manipulated. She has left her home as Taimoor was being unreasonable and direspectful.
This is what went down:
The internet is annoyed by Taimoor and his shenanigans. One user said, “Taimoor is the biggest dumbo.” Another added, “Aima should divorce Taimoor as he will never respect her.” One said, “This Taimoor is once again believing his sister when he saw what actually happened.” Here is what happened:
Do Kinaray is a drama starring Momina Iqbal, Junaid Khan and Agha Talal among others. The show has made people fall in love with it. The story is typical but the performances and styling are top notch. Momina Iqbal has hit it out of the park as Dureshehwar. She is a villain whom everyone loves to hate and hate to love. She is decisive and toxic in a very entertaining manner.
Dureshehwar is now doing to Shaheer what he tried to do to her. She knows all his secrets and he ended up threatening her for divorce. She reminded him that he can divorce her but she will take half his property. He has taken all the legal measures and she is all set to destroy him.
This is what went down between the toxic duo in Do Kinaray:
The internet is loving Dureshehwar’s tactics. One said, “She did great. Shaheer deserves this.” Another added, “I am on her side in this one.” One said, “She is set in life. The husbands were also rich and now she will be rich herself after divorce.” This is what the internet had to say:
Do Kinaray is a drama that has won the audience despite being a very typical story. The performances in the drama are great. We have seen Momina Iqbal and Junaid Khan doing a great job as leads. Dureshehwar is finally getting a taste of her own medicine as she finds out that she is her current husband’s second and secret wife. Waleed on the other hand is mistreating Mawra.
Waleed was very rude to Mawra and accused her of not taking care of Dua. He insults her in front of everyone. She was broken but she still kept caring for Dua. She finally spoke to Waleed about his behaviour and how he is crushing hers self-respect. Waleed’s sister also pointed out that he has started to become like Dureshehwar.
Here is how the dynamic has evolved between Waleed and Mawra in Do Kinaray:
The internet is loving the show but they think Waleed likes to get insulted. They think he actually deserves Dureshehwar. One user said. “Please bring Dureshehwar back so she can insult Waleed.” Another added, “Waleed likes to get insulted and now he is being rude to Mawra.” One said, “Mawra did the right thing by standing up for herself. Waleed was never this sensitive for Dua when her own mother mistreated her.” This is what the internet thinks:
Do Kinaray is a drama on Green TV starring Junaid Khan and Momina Iqbal. The drama showed Momina as Dureshehwar and her character has been extremely toxic. Junaid Khan plays Waleed who took everything she threw his way just to be with her. She did not respect him though and left him and their daughter to marry her ex. Waleed has also re-married and his behaviour has changed for the worse.
Waleed is now married to Mawra but he is mistreating her. He is treating her like a nanny and she is trying her best to win his heart. Do Kinaray is finally at the main climax point as Dureshehwar is in a bad position but Waleed is not realizing that he has gotten a great wife in Mawra.
Here is how he treated Mawra:
Do Kinaray fans have a lot to say to Waleed. One user said, “Such men actually deserve wives like Dureshehwar.” Another added, “You used to stay quiet in front of Dureshehwar’s toxicity and now you are mistreating Mawra.” One said, “People never respect their loving partners.” This is what they said:
Do Kinaray is a drama airing on Green TV. The drama stars Momina Iqbal and Junaid Khan in the lead. The show has gotten millions if views due to great performances despite having a predictable story. Momina Iqbal has hit it out of the park with the character of Dureshehwar. She has shown toxicity and negativity to an extent where it seems real. Junaid Khan, on the other hand, is the total opposite as Waleed. He has played the ultimate green flag in this drama and fans are shocked by how tolerant a husband can be.
Dureshehwar has once again shown how rude she can be in Do Kinaray. She was rude to Waleed, called him out for giving his money to his family and Waleed once again did not say anything while getting insulted. This has caused fans to hate on Dure even more.
Here is what went down:
The internet is calling out Dureshehwar and want to see her punishment. One user said, “I pray everyday to see Dureshehwar getting destroyed.” Another added, “Waleed keeps getting insulted like he will not get another girl.” One said, “Waiting for Dureshehwar’s destruction. She is such an irritating girl.” Here is what the internet thinks:
Women are also loving how respectful Waleed is. One said, “I pray I get a husband like him.” Another added, “He is shown as a green forest as he is so respectful of his wife.” This is what the public feels:
Do Kinaray is a drama airing on Green TV. The show has Junaid Khan and Momina Iqbal in the lead. Momina Iqbal is looking ethereal in all frames while she is on a rampage. She is playing a very evil character who is never satisfied and keeps bringing chaos. As she is very sweet in real life, she has really gotten under the skin of such a character. Junaid and Momina aka Waleed and Dureshehwar are starting many debates.
Waleed is a great husband. His character is far from reality and straight out of a fairy tale. His wife is never happy with him and keeps causing everyone pain and he still tolerates everything silently. Do Kinaray is all about the chaos between this couple and Dureshehwar is not slowing down anytime soon.
Do Kinaray fans are frustrated by Waleed’s mellow attitude. One user said, “Waleed just keeps getting insulted. You should not be this naive.” Another added, “Our husbands could never be like that. He never replies back to anything rudely.” One said, “Dureshehwar is setting a bad example for overpowered women.” This is what they think:
Do Kinaray is a drama that took the audience by storm. Fans were loving it and it has garnered over 3 million views per episode despite getting dragged. The show has been a success due to its fashionable villain Dureshehwar played by Momina Iqbal. She has done a fantastic job and the audience just fell in love with her despite her playing a very toxic character.
Do Kinaray is heading towards its end. Momina Iqbal sat for an interview with Green Prime and shared her thoughts about the upcoming ending. The actress shared that she thinks Dureshehwar can be forgiven. Men always get second chances. It is always about women when people advocate against second chances. She added that in the track with Shaheer, Dureshehwar was a victim as he was the one who manipulated her.
This is what she said:
Momina Iqbal also revealed that she does not give a lot of interviews as she is a blunt person. She will say what is on her mind and she generally avoids doing that. She added that she has also seen how people will cut off her statements and try to portray them in their own way. One then has to clarify them which she is not fond of. She added that she always speaks the truth thus she avoids interviews.
Here is what she said:
Momina Iqbal also revealed that Dureshehwar was a dark character. She therefore, added dialogues and made her seem a bit lighter. Like her track with Dua and how Dua died was very dark. She purposely added lines like “she only had a short destined life” to make the situation less dark.
Listen to what she revealed:
Momina Iqbal remained tight lipped about the ending of Do Kinaray but left an intriguing value:
Do Kinaray is a drama currently airing on Green TV. The drama is a typical story about a girl whose ego has destroyed many households. Momina Iqbal plays the toxic Dureshehwar and she has carried this role really well. She has showcased the toxicity of Dureshehwar brilliantly on screen. She has maintained her character from the very start of the show till now and her performance is phenomenal.
What actually pulled the audience to Do Kinaray despite it being a typical story was the styling Momina Iqbal has in the show. She has worn both eastern and western looks and she carried both with grace. Her hair and makeup look perfect in every frame and people cannot take their eyes off her though they hate Dureshehwar. Here are some beautiful looks of Dureshehwar:
Do Kinaray fans loved how Momina Iqbal has looked in the drama. One user said, “Whatever her character is like. Momina looks gorgeous in the drama.” One said, “Momina’s styling and outfits are great.” Another added, “However Dureshehwar is, her dressing is good.” This is how they reacted:
Do Kinaray is a drama starring Momina Iqbal and Junaid Khan in the lead roles. The show has become a huge hit with the audience. How the vamp is the most interesting character of the show has made it a hit with the audience. Momina Iqbal won fans with her strong sense of styling and the way she has carried the character of Dureshehwar.
Waleed from Do Kinaray played by Junaid Khan has been criticized since the beginning for being too weak. He is doing the same thing again. After Dua’s death and consequent things that happened in Dure’s life, she wants Waleed back and she is calling him constantly and he is still answering her.
This is where the show is heading:
Fans are hating what Waleed is now doing in Do Kinaray. One viewer wrote, “Literally he needs to stop taking her calls.” Another added, “What kind of a businessman is he. He is always getting abused by her calls.” One said, “Waleed should not cheat.” This is what went down:
Pakistani dramas makers and producers have for the longest time tried to maintain a balance between dramas that solely entertain and those that educate at the same time. It won’t be wrong to say that most Pakistani dramas in some way do highlight certain social issues. Some of these dramas revolve around pressures and evils within the society; others highlight issues that are faced by individuals with regards to their relationships. There was a time when such dramas were focused on a single issue. Nowadays, writers try to focus on more than one issue. Sometimes they manage to get the message across in the most befitting manner and at other times these dramas simply fail to impress altogether.
The Promotional Strategies
With the advent of social media and due to the fact that there is so much competition between the channels, promotional strategies do play a key role in piquing the interest of the viewers. Interestingly enough, some of the current issue-based dramas or those dramas which are genuinely raising certain important issues were not promoted as such. There are also those which were not promoted in a manner that wouldn’t have enticed the viewers. Only those viewers who follow the celebrities diligently were able to watch these dramas and later on they gained some popularity due to their genuine appeal. These dramas did not get the kind of ‘marketing’ that they truly deserved. Then there were those production houses that created controversies on purpose in order to grab the attention of the viewers.
Drama serials such as Pehli Si Mohabbat, Raqs-e-Bismil, and even Neeli Zinda Hei fall in the category of dramas that were promoted as romantic/horror stories yet they do raise definite social issues. Dil Na Umeed Toh Nahin is one of those dramas which were not promoted in a befitting manner. Also, the fact that it was airing on TV One affected its viewership. The star cast was the most appealing aspect for those viewers who do not have a lot of knowledge about the writers and production houses, in general. Even the active social media users were not given reason enough by the promoters to tune into the drama. Pardes was another such drama that highlights such a vital social issue yet it was promoted more as a drama that had Shaista Lodhi and Sarmad Khoosat playing the lead instead of a drama that was going to have a social impact. The content of the drama was definitely more important than the fact that Shaista and Sarmad were sharing the screen in this drama! Drama serials such as Dunk and Phaans were promoted as issue-based dramas. Dunk makers also relied heavily on controversy and sensationalized headlines for grabbing the attention of the viewers.
Commercial Dramas vs. Issue-Based Dramas
There is no denying the fact that the commercial storylines are usually more popular among the general public therefore at times promoting a drama that might have significant social impact might be promoted as a ‘commercial’ drama. Pehli Si Mohabbat and Pardes are two such examples from recent dramas. Sometimes, the viewers are more interested in the star cast and therefore are more likely to tune into a drama that has a more commercial element to it. Most of the viewers want to be ‘entertained’ when they switch on the television therefore a drama that is reality-based might not be their first preference. There are definitely those viewers as well who understand that a good quality drama is a combination of both therefore many such dramas do get popularity once they go on air.
Current Issue-Based Dramas
More than ever now, the dramas airing leading channels do focus on issues that impact society in some way. Many of the dramas highlight social evils such as rape and domestic abuse. There are others that break this cycle and highlight certain issues which are not highlighted often in dramas. Here is a look at some of the dramas which are raising important issues but in different ways. Some of them are succeeding and others are simply ‘using’ these issues to grab people’s attention. Others are simply failing at it because of the lack of quality content.
Pehli Si Mohabbat – Questioning ‘Arranged’ Marriages
Pehli Si Mohabbat is one of those dramas that were promoted as a filmy love story. Maya Ali and Sheheryar Munawar’s first on-screen appearance on the small screen was presented as the main attraction for the viewers perhaps because the makers were convinced that the viewers will find that more appealing than the actual content. However, it was the content of the show that ended up being its strongest element. Pehli Si Mohabbat questions ‘arranged’ marriages which are most of the time forced marriages yet they are glorified in such a manner that no one ever questions them! The writer has done outstandingly well in raising an issue that isn’t even considered an issue. This drama has proven to be a breath of fresh air since it has been breaking so many stereotypes. Pehli Si Mohabbat definitely fits the bill because it has so much more than just star power! The star power, the melodious OST, and the production values make Pehli Si Mohabbat a pleasant meaningful entertainment.
Raqs-e-Bismil – Highlighting Class Divide
Raqs-e-Bismil is another drama that was never promoted as a drama that will highlight social issues. Yet, the premise of the entire story lies on the class divide; the way people from certain families feel that they are superior to others. Then there are women such as Zohra who never get respect because they were born and raised in circumstances that did not allow her to make the kind of choices she would have liked to. The writer has beautifully integrated the concept of not judging people based on their background into a love story. There will probably be more surprises in store in the upcoming episodes. The drama did go off track more than once therefore the message sometimes does get lost and at other times it is highly repetitive. Overall, Raqs-e-Bismil can be labeled as a drama that highlights an important societal issue yet the multiple tracks do tend to be distracting at times.
Pardes – Struggles of Overseas Workers & Families
Pardes has turned out to be an outstanding drama based on a novel idea. Pakistani dramas usually do not focus on the problems faced by Pakistanis working overseas and most importantly we are never shown what their immediate families actually go through. Daldal did tackle the issue but it had a different storyline altogether. Pardes is more focused on the exploitation of the male members who provide for their families and the sacrifices their immediate family has to make as a result. Pardes grows on you gradually and when you think that the story might be getting typical, something happens to prove you wrong. So far, Pardes has definitely been fitting the bill because the emotional and realistic element of the drama couldn’t have been more impactful.
Dil Na Umeed Toh Nahin – All-Encompassing
Dil Na Umeed Toh Nahin’s producers and the channels airing it did not do justice to it while promoting it. There was barely any hype surrounding the drama and even when it went on air many people did not even know! Since this drama aired on two different channels including PTV it was definitely surprising that the promotions were so unimpressive. However, it was the star cast that made the viewers tune into it, and ultimately the writing and direction completely pulled the viewers in. Unfortunately, when compared to many other commercial dramas, Dil Na Umeed Toh Nahin is still lagging behind but when it comes to doing justice to the issues it has raised, this drama fits the bill like no other! Dil Na Umeed Toh Nahin is one of those few dramas which deal with so many different societal issues at the same time and the writer has made sure that every weakness of the social fabric is highlighted through different tracks. This drama however can get so dark at times that some of the viewers find it extremely disturbing. But this also proves that the writer, director, and the actors have done their job right! Had the producers promoted it the way they promote commercial drama serials, it would have been watched and noticed even more.
Aakhir Kab Tak – Exploitation and Abuse
Aakhir Kab Tak is another drama that raises the issue of exploitation of women and rape. Unfortunately, our producers have started using rape as a tool to get the public’s attention therefore every other drama has such a track. However, Aakhir Kab Tak shows another side of such criminal acts and one which has not been highlighted in any other drama so far. I have watched a few episodes of the drama and I must say that so far it seems to be heavily inspired by Dar Si Jati Hei Sila and even Mein Na Janoo but the solid characters keep it engaging. The script isn’t too impressive but at the same time, it is not as commercial and meaningless as some of the other such dramas.
Dunk – Focus on Commercialism
Dunk is one of those dramas that actually deals with a really serious issue yet the producers never had a serious approach right from the get-go. The entire focus was on getting the public’s attention by statements that created controversy. The script is also highly commercial and the treatment given to the drama is even more so. Dunk could have been a groundbreaking drama serial had the producers focused on the actual content. The leading lady definitely has a mental disorder yet that part of her personality will perhaps never be scrutinized. It definitely does not fit the bill and will always be remembered as a missed opportunity.
Phaans – Repetitive & Misleading
Phaans was promoted as a mystery drama and yes it is that, sometimes to an annoying extent. However, the leading character of the drama either has some mental disorder or a disability which just like always has not been specified. In the drama serial Pyar Ke Sadqay, I never really felt that I actually needed to know why Abdullah and Mahjabeen were not like other people their age but while watching Phaans I feel the need to know more about Sahil since he is the ‘criminal’. Since the story has been far from impressive so far, there is little hope that the viewers will get to know the real reason why he raped and what is wrong with him! It is unfortunate that mental health and disorders are used in this manner by the writers for putting together mysteries that are more annoying than intriguing. Although this drama was never promoted as an issue-based drama, there are a number of reasons why it does fall in the category and it has failed in so many departments.
Neeli Zinda Hei – On Point So Far
Neeli Zinda Hei is essentially a horror drama but I do feel that the writer has highlighted how the fake peers run their businesses by taking advantage of women who are jealous and envious of their own relatives. This is another evil that is unfortunately rampant in our society and I find this track reflective of many affluent and even educated women who go down this path. So far, the jealousy, madness, and the need for control have been highlighted in such a way that they will give people an opportunity to self-reflect and it does raise awareness since the fakeness has been shown so openly.
How many of these dramas are you watching? Share your thoughts about them. It would be great if the writers stop using rape as a tool to create mystery and suspense! It is a serious issue and should not be used for ‘entertainment’ purposes. Are there any other issue-based dramas that you feel fit the bill or those that have missed the mark? Share your views!
It is a staple for the cast of every upcoming drama to visit the sets of Good Morning Pakistan for ARY. The recent cast who came out to promote their new drama is none other than that of the drama Do Bol. Do Bol is the new drama on ARY starring Hira Mani and Affan Waheed in the lead roles. (camperlife.co) The OST of the dram sung by Nabeel Shaukat and Aima Baig has been impressing the audience a lot. Hira is just on the top of her career as she has been a part of many top rating dramas lately. She just came on the show for Bandish and now its Do Bol.
Here is the cast of Do Bol with Nida Yasir on Good Morning Pakistan:
Opening Thoughts – Wanted To See More of The Lead Couple:
Ohkay so, Do Bol came to an end tonight. To be honest, if I go by the entire journey that this drama has been, then I will definitely say I have loved every bit of it but sadly, I wish I could say that about the last episode of Do Bol as well. The ending was cramped up to say the least & as much as all the viewers who loved Badar & Gaiti duo wanted to see more of them as a happily married couple, I am sure just like me they all would be feeling a tad bit disappointed!
Supporting Characters Got The Coverage:
It is a sad fact that our drama-makers & directors do not know how to give any drama a strong finish. Do Bol has been such a simple journey & even though it is understandable that they were saving some of the twists & turns for the last, I think they should have used like previous 4 episodes to show all these twists only to dedicate the last 2 episodes for Gaiti & Badar’s relationship. I don’t really understand why our drama-makers think that they have to & they should give closure to alllllllllllllll the tracks in the last episode only? Why not use the previous couple of episodes to take care of the side characters so that the focus of the final episode can remain on the main characters? I really am happy to see the happy ending that both Gaiti & Badar got, like it was pretty much expected but then I also wished to see more & certainly didn’t expect that the 99.99% of the last episode will be dedicated to the supporting characters ONLY, sigh!
I have seen quite a few annoying characters in my reviewing career, but I will definitely place Sameer on the 2nd spot of that list. 1st one still belongs to Zawar/Awazar of Aahista Aahista (if you guys remember that sloth). So yes, Sameer turned out to be more annoying than expected. I found his antics not only desperate but also unconvincing because Gaiti had already told him clearly that she had nothing to do with him, but oh boy, he not only barged into Badar’s house but also challenged him that he won’t leave Gaiti alone till he marries her? Wow! After that challenge I thought he won’t stop but he vanished into thin-air like Sameer hawa ka jhonka.
The only thing I found interesting in this episode was that the writer didn’t give Badar a clean chit, rather his secret was revealed in front of Gaiti & she found out how he had manipulated the entire situation in his favor. It was good that Badar was forced to admit that all the things he said about Gaiti were because he was being selfish. Badar was forced to realize his mistake & if it wasn’t for Sameer hawa ka jhonka, Badar would’ve never told Gaiti the truth.
For a moment, I felt Jahan Ara’s soul possessed Iqbal’s body & that is why he repeated all those words about finding Gaiti her happiness in the form of getting her divorced from Badar. It was a bit amusing to be honest that everyone saw Badar as the main reason behind Gaiti’s sadness & the moment they realized it, they hurried in doing everything to end this relationship. It was good that Gaiti not only made the decision but also let everyone know with finality that she didn’t want to part ways with Badar.
The tracks that they could’ve given closure to in the 2nd or 3rd last episode were Firdous & her theft, Jamshed & his arrest & revealing of Fareeha’s lies & deceit. All these tracks took too much of a time which left me feeling restless because all this while I was checking the remaining time of the episode & hoping to see more of Badar & Gaiti. The start of the episode was strong where Sameer challenged Badar but after that, the supporting characters came to the fore-front & took most of the runtime that too of the crucial last episode. After Gaiti ran away when she heard the truth from Badar, Sameer was nowhere to be seen in the remaining episode, hence proven that Sameer hawa ka jhonka. Yes, where did Sameer go? To Germany or Chullu Bhar Pani? I thought he’d later apologize to everyone especially Gaiti & her entire family for putting them through so much, but in stead of showing that, the director shifted the focus to Fareeha’s poorly cut fringe/bangs & her ill-fitted dresses. Even though I am really sad that I won’t be getting to see Badar & Gaiti again, a part of me is super happy that I won’t be seeing this fashion/makeup/beauty disaster called Fareeha!
Highlight of The Last Episode:
So, Badar poured his heart out & Gaiti was listening. That entire scene was just so sweet. Gaiti had fallen in love with Badar long before all of this happened. It was after she spent time with Badar that she got to realize how much he loved her & it was his love that convinced Gaiti & made her fall in love with Badar too. Gaiti was someone who didn’t really get the love she deserved, therefore the fate made her experience the kind of love she never could’ve imagined where the one who loved her didn’t want to lose her. He loved her selfishly before as well as selflessly after getting her. This entire aspect of Badar’s personality was shown beautifully that he had this streak in him but it was only because he feared losing the love of his life & this selfishness didn’t define Badar as a person. I found this to be the best & realistic part about Badar’s character that he was nice but still committed a mistake as his fear of losing Gaiti got the better of him. Gaiti tried hard to not fall in love with Badar but she couldn’t help it & it was good that their love stood the trials & tribulations because it made them realize that they couldn’t live without each other even more.
Closing Thoughts – Magical Journey:
The journey of Do Bol was simple & sweet with emotions portrayed to perfection. Even though the story of Do Bol was pretty straight forward & predictable, the overall treatment & execution took it a couple of notches higher & turned it into a memorable drama. The beautiful & melodious OST also helped in adding more charm to the story because every single time it was used, it just added more beauty to the situation. Hira Mani was the star of the drama. She stole the show completely. Hira Mani should take a bow for such a brilliant performance. Her talent is unmatchable & she is the kind of actress who actually makes you excited & look forward to her next project. Affan Waheed was a perfect choice for the role of Badar, he portrayed all the hues of Badar’s personality flawlessly. Samina Ahmed, Mehmood Aslam, ZQ, Salma Hassan, Haris Waheed, Haroon Rasheed & all the other actors played their parts well & contributed a great deal in making this drama a complete package.
As I have said before, dramas like Do Bol set an example that simple stories can create magic too, it’s just that they just need the right kind of treatment & the director’s vision. The director should also take a bow for creating magic on our screens, I just wish he had given us more Gaiti-Badar moments in the last episode. Sarwat Nazeer is such a gifted writer & her prowess of adding so many flavors in simplest of stories is commendable. Do Bol will remain very close to my heart, also because it happens to be my mother’s favorite drama too. Thank you Team Do Bol for such a successful drama. More power to you!
Keep Supporting,
Cheers, Zahra Mirza.
PS: On a lighter note:
Me to the Director after not getting enough Gaiti-Badar scenes:
Ohkay so, this episode of Do Bol was super sweet. The fact that everything has been conveyed in simplest manner makes this drama a treat to tune to. There’s nothing overly dramatic or unrealistic about the story, in fact it just simply shows how two individuals who are poles apart are struggling in their orbits. The thing that is the most appealing about Do Bol to me has to be the simple treatment that this drama has got.
Badar Walking An Extra Mile For Gaiti:
Badar decided to go ahead & give Gaiti what she wanted; an outlet, a freedom to go where she wanted. Even though Badar doesn’t want to leave Gaiti but he has seen how unhappy she has been, therefore he doesn’t think it is sensible to prevent her or talk her out of what she has set her mind to. Gaiti continued to learn more & more about Badar’s household & his family, even though she has stayed unaffected & hasn’t involved herself in any of their matters, but still she is not unaware of what is happening around her. Gaiti can clearly see that Rania is not happy with her, that is why she tried finding the reason behind it too.
This episode once again highlighted how despite being calm & collected, Badar kept on losing patience with Gaiti. Just like Gaiti has her own set of struggles, Badar has it too. Gaiti is only thinking about her own issues but when it comes to Badar, he is not only aware of how miserable Gaiti is, he is aware of the fact that Gaiti is feeling that way because of him & that makes him even more guilty. Gaiti’s bitterness & her behaviour constantly remind Badar that he is no match to her & she deserves something/someone better, may be that is why despite not wanting to he finds it in his heart to let go off her.
Gaiti & Badar travelled together, all the way to Karachi to meet Jahan Ara, only to find out that she was not in Pakistan. Badar saved Gaiti & made sure she was well-fed & well-rested. Probably this little time spent together made Gaiti feel a little comfortable around Badar & also forced her to have some empathy for him. Gaiti could see that Badar was going out of the way to make sure she gets what she wants but then she was so focused on getting in touch with her mother that she couldn’t give a thought to how Badar was feeling & what he was going through.
In this episode of Do Bol, what I loved the most was how Badar kept on sharing his feelings with Gaiti & even though he knew she didn’t want to hear all of that, he kept on telling her what she meant to him. Badar told her that he loved her, that he was heartbroken because she was leaving & also how he dreamt of giving her a comfortable house & life. It was all very sweet. For Gaiti this relationship does not mean anything for now, but her hesitance did show that she was kind of feeling awkward for what she was putting Badar through. May be she has started feeling some compassion for him after seeing how nice & genteel he is.
Iqbal got to see Gaiti with Badar & for the first time, his emotions were given coverage. Previously it was always anger & fury that Iqbal had for Gaiti but for the first time he was disturbed like a father should be for his daughter who is not living in a favourable condition. Nafeesa continued making efforts to get in touch with Gaiti but she knew that Gaiti was still upset & she wouldn’t talk. Nafeesa has spent a good chunk of her life with Gaiti therefore she knows her too well, that is why she didn’t really mind when Gaiti refused to come on the phone. Fareeha made sure that Sameer forgets about Gaiti, that is why she kept on lying to him about Gaiti & her character. Since this entire scenario is done & dusted, I won’t be too surprised if Sameer moves on because that’s the only option left but yes, it is unfortunate that he is being lied to so that he forgets Gaiti.
Firdous saw that Iqbal was upset because of Gaiti, like she could see that he was kind of feeling bad for her, that is why she created an entire scene against Neelam going to college, that way she landed herself a chance to rub Gaiti’s wrongdoing on Iqbal’s face, so that he snaps out of any sympathy that he might have felt for her. This is what Firdous had done in the past by using Jahan Ara’s name & now she replaced her with Gaiti. I really liked how Nasreen took a stand for Neelam & gave Firdous a piece of her mind. She is not as helpless as Nafeesa plus she knows that even if her husband Munawwar listens to his siblings, she is not bound to especially in the matters concerning her daughter.
Closing Thoughts – Sweet Drama:
Overall, this episode of Do Bol was simple & sweet. It sure is turning out to be a very nice drama to tune to. The preview of the next episode did show the change in Badar & Gaiti’s equation plus an entry of the villain Jamshed who happens to be Badar’s cousin & that is definitely going to spice things up. The direction of Do Bol as well as the acting of all the actors has been superb. Still loving the usage of the OST. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Do Bol.
Ohkay so, this episode of Do Bol was comparatively on the slower side but that was because they strategically showed the initial very crucial couple of days after Gaiti & Badar’s marriage. This episode dwelled more into details of the situation that both the families were faced with & the insight into all the characters that were involved. It was a well-made & well-executed episode & I can’t wait to see how the relationship between Badar & Gaiti will blossom.
Gaiti Is Resenting While Badar Is Trying:
Gaiti was pretty sure that she didn’t want to live here & that she wanted to go to Karachi to be with her biological mother. Badar was also having a hard time understanding how things were going to shape up but then his friend Lateef tried to put things into perspective. What I really liked about this entire situation was that the writer didn’t show Badar being in control of everything, from his emotions to having a complete idea of what he should be doing. Badar is a flawed character too & that is the beauty of this drama that is relies on showing every character in a realistic manner. Badar was not only unsure but he was also feeling guilty but then Lateef tried to make him understand all the things he needed to do. Lateef’s best advice that came Badar’s way was that he should not try to get Gaiti but rather should do whatever it takes to win her over.
In this entire episode & during all the interactions that Gaiti & Badar had, it was really interesting how Gaiti was stuck on one page but Badar’s attitude was fluctuating, where at times he tried to break the ice by cracking some jokes, trying to make her laugh, at times he commanded her, trying to make her realize that he is her husband & he can do that & then at times being patient but then losing it too. Badar’s state of mind was elaborated flawlessly by the writer & both director & Affan Waheed excelled in making it come across clearly.
Gaiti was not bothered about anything & anyone. She stood her ground & even informed Badar’s family that she does not want to stay here. Qudsia was unsure of how she should be reacting, again at times she saw Gaiti as her daughter in law but then she also couldn’t contain herself from sharing her disappointment at how Badar & Gaiti got married. Badar may seem a bit slow but he surely is very wise & present-minded. The way Badar immediately turned everything against his Khala by saying that her attitude was what forced Gaiti to walk away & ignore her was very amusing, it shows that Badar will do what it takes to protect Gaiti from facing any unnecessary pressures. Another aspect that was covered brilliantly was how despite not wanting to Gaiti had a few conversations with Badar about him, his family & other random stuff. Obviously that wasn’t deliberate but it showed that Gaiti was not cutting herself off from the reality & was very much aware of whatever was happening in her surroundings.
I felt for Nafeesa a lot in this episode. Nafeesa was not only sad but seeing everyone being just so aloof to whatever happened with Gaiti also kept on reminding her that no one cared for her & her daughter was all alone. Nafeesa was the only one who was eager to see Gaiti just so that she could find out how she was doing. Iqbal asked Firdous about what he had done to deserve all this, I think in stead of asking others, he should ask himself as to where he went wrong. It is unfortunate that after years & years of mistreating Gaiti, he still doesn’t see where the problem lies. I am eager to know what Jahan Ara did & what was her reason of leaving Iqbal, they have really hyped it up so I guess its high time that they give us the actual explanation.
Firdous continued to plan & plot because she saw this as a golden opportunity to shape up Zafar’s future. Sameer met an accident & he was recovering, while feeling guilty for leaving Gaiti in such a position where she had to face all that. Badar does not want to, but every single time he ends up lying to Gaiti about Sameer making sure that she starts hating Sameer for betraying her. Badar does that but then immediately he regrets it all too. I think this is one of the biggest shortcoming of Badar where unwillingly but consciously he lies to Gaiti. Having said that, I will definitely say that I like how the writer has shown Badar’s character as a little selfish, like every person has that streak & Badar is selfish too but what balances it out is the fact that he immediately feels guilty when he does something wrong. I think this is only because he is insecure & has loved Gaiti with all his heart. Badar knows that Gaiti does not love him, that is why he sometimes does things like these to push Sameer out of Gaiti’s heart only to make a place for himself. I think later when Gaiti will start to feel the love Badar has for her, she will also have some influence on him & this shortcoming of Badar will be sorted as he will try to be a better version of himself for Gaiti. Badar’s insecurities will subside when Gaiti will start loving him too. I like how the writer has added these minute details in all these characters which is quite interesting to explore.
Closing Thoughts – A Treat To Watch:
Overall, this episode of Do Bol was really nice. It was good to see two different people trying to figure a way out, where one wanted to run away & the other one was trying to find a solution to make this marriage work. Affan Waheed was the star of this episode, he flawlessly portrayed all the shades of Badar’s personality & this character is so well-written too. Those minute expressions & sudden change in Badar’s attitude within few seconds was some exceptional work done there by Affan Waheed. It is kind of random but I am not sure who decided the look for Badar’s character & styled him? The hybrid of Kurti/Kameez-Chooridaar/Trouser that Badar wears is so unflattering plus the fact that it is so tight that even the seams of his vest are always visible makes it all very unflattering like I said. I do understand that they have tried to show him as a guy belonging to a humble background so for that matter good old simple Shalwar Kameez would’ve done a perfect job too. Also, the length of his Kurti/Kameez is so awkward too & yes I am deliberately calling it a Kurti & not a Kurta, lol. Anyways, Affan Waheed acted brilliantly in this episode & I can’t wait to see more of Badar’s character. Hira Mani did exceptionally well too, I am really happy with the leading duo, they sre going to make this drama a treat to watch. The OST is my recent favorite too. Looking forward to the rest of the drama. please share your thoughts about this episode of Do Bol.
Ohkay so, this episode of Do Bol was intense but still showed events unfolding in the most simplest of manner. This is what I like about Do Bol, even though it has its fair share of dramatic moments, the overall feel of the story, characters, events & situations remains simple, real & very relatable. Do Bol is definitely turning out to be such a drama that I look forward to & I am happy about that!
Badar Got The Love of His Life:
I really like Gaiti’s character, even though things are always not in her favor but she doesn’t let it stop her. Before doing anything, Gaiti still decided to speak to her father, assuming that he’d care & listen to what she wanted. Gaiti also knew that Iqbal will not pay heed to her feelings but she still gave it a try. I like her persistent attitude. When Gaiti felt that Iqbal was going to get her married to Zafar by hook or by crook, she decided to get in touch with her mother Jahan Ara because Gaiti felt that she was the only one who could help her.
Nafeesa has always spoken about Jahan Ara with a lot of regard. It is like Nafeesa does not blame Jahan Ara for choosing to part ways with Iqbal, more or less sounding like she understands her perspective & that actually makes me want to know more about her. Iqbal & his entire family has always spoken against Jahan Ara but Nafeesa hasn’t, which kind of makes one wonder that she might not be as bad as Iqbal & Co. make her look like. What Gaiti did by taking matters in her own hands was only because of Iqbal. His careless & cold attitude towards his daughter made her do what she did. Gaiti has grown up facing rejection of her father that is why, now when she felt that he was literally snatching her life away from her, she decided to do something about it. Yes, all of this definitely was because she loved Sameer but apart from that, Zafar was definitely not an ideal guy that any girl would want to get married to, therefore pushing Gaiti to resort to running away. Gaiti tried to convey it to Iqbal but he was too engulfed in the love of his sister & nephew that he couldn’t care much about Gaiti.
Whatever Sameer went through was very realistic, at times when things are not meant to be, they just don’t happen even if it is the simplest of things & that is why he couldn’t meet Gaiti at the time they both had decided. Sameer was also getting pressurized by his mother but still it was good to see him being adamant to be with Gaiti. Gaiti kept on stopping Sameer but then even Sameer couldn’t really approach Iqbal through a proper channel because he didn’t have any support of his mother. If Safina had at least spoken to Iqbal once, things wouldn’t have taken such an ugly turn.
In this entire situation, it was interesting to see how Badar kept on reminding Gaiti that he loved her & that Sameer was never going to come. Even through that wasn’t the case but it actually turned out to be true because in this situation, trust was the main factor & even though Gaiti trusted Sameer & Sameer wasn’t deceiving her, Badar ended up being right because Sameer didn’t show up. One thing led to another & everything escalated in the worst manner, something that Gaiti must’ve not imagined in her wildest dreams.
Gaiti was brought in front of Iqbal but still, she didn’t choose to stay silent as she once again tried convincing her father that he should trust her. Iqbal who already was emotionally detached from Gaiti paid heed to others more than what his daughter wanted to say. That entire situation depicted Gaiti’s frustration, helplessness & anger perfectly; she was crying to be heard but no one was listening to her. I liked how Badar tried to tell the truth but then again, it wasn’t meant to be.
Badar & Gaiti got married & that marked the beginning of new phase of Badar’s life & new test for Gaiti. I felt for Gaiti a lot, she is someone who has never really experienced what the love of a father is & how it feels being valued & cherished. She has always seen herself being an afterthought; an emotional burden on Iqbal, that is why as much as it was hard for her to accept what happened, it was very easy for her to sever ties with all of them because they didn’t understand her when she wanted them to, the most. I felt bad that Gaiti lost her mother again, Nafeesa loved Gaiti like her own child & that bond was broken that too because of Iqbal. Nafeesa’s outburst was heartbreaking, she genuinely felt for Gaiti & could see how unfair Iqbal was in dealing with her. Another aspect that was uncovered in this episode of Do Bol was Firdous’ greed, the moment she found out that Jahan Ara had the ownership of the property & without her consent, Zafar will not get anything, she immediately changed her mind but obviously, put the entire blame on Gaiti to make herself look innocent.
I love Gaiti’s character. Even though she has had a tough life where she never felt valued, she has found out a way to fight her battles herself. Iqbal has done everything to lower her self-esteem & shatter her confidence but despite all of that, Gaiti knows how to stand up for herself. Usually in such a setting when things are never in your favor, no one musters up the courage to make their own decisions but Gaiti is not like that, she has turned her weakness into strength, is rightfully opinionated & doesn’t settle for whatever comes her way just like that.
Closing Thoughts – Perfection:
Overall, this episode of Do Bol was really well directed & everything was perfectly done. Be it smallest of details, all of them were taken care of & that completed the entire picture in a very effortless manner. I loved how when both Badar & Gauti got married & were sitting together in a taxi, unconsciously their outfits were color co-ordinated, making them look like a couple right from that moment onwards. Now the love story will begin where Badar will prove his love to Gaiti & she will actually get to know him. Do Bol has Sarwat Nazeer written all over it, it is amazing how she picks up simplest of scenarios & turns them into something magical. I can’t wait for the rest of the story to unfold. Hira Mani is outstanding in this drama, I have liked her since Preet Na Kariyo Koi days & it is good to see how she has come a long way & chooses her projects wisely. The OST of Do Bol is melodic & very nice. Looking forward to the rest of the journey. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Do Bol.
Ohkay so, this episode of Do Bol took the story forward in a convincing manner. So far, it can be said that the story of this drama is going to be pretty simple but this is what the beauty of Sarwar Nazeer’s writing is that she takes simplest of plots & gives them a whole new meaning. I am sure Do Bol is going to turn into such a drama that will only have good things to offer.
Gaiti Stands Up For Herself Against All Odds:
Gaiti was convinced that Sameer loved her. Sameer had said enough to let Gaiti know that he wanted to marry her & undoubtedly, his intentions were pure. Sameer is someone who has loved Gaiti since they were kids, therefore it made it very easy for Gaiti to believe him & even she found this idea of love very tempting. Gaiti has lived her life without the love of her father, a male figure that happens to be the most important person in a daughter’s life, that is why, this kind of attention & care coming from Sameer was enough to sweep her off her feet. Unfortunately, little did Gaiti know that as much as she’d try chasing this dream, she will keep on falling in a bottomless pit. One thing happened after another which made things complicated & grew Gaiti distant from Sameer.
Iqbal, who doesn’t really care much for Gaiti thought that just to mend Firdous Apa’s broken heart, he had to compensate & marry Zafar to Gaiti. The kind of father Iqbal is, who sees his daughter as a burden, he didn’t even think for a second that Gaiti is not a child anymore & she has feelings & most importantly the right to choose her life partner. Iqbal has only dictated Gaiti, probably because he could not dictate his first wife, therefore he makes Gaiti compensate for that & because of that reason he chose Zafar for Gaiti, while completely ignoring the kind of guy he is.
In this episode, I found Firdous Apa’s character quite interesting, like I had a good time understanding her & how her mind works. Firdous Apa doesn’t like Gaiti one bit but she knows that Zafar likes her so she agreed to this marriage but it was interesting to see how she made it seem that she was doing Iqbal a huge favor because she feels for him. Not only that, Firdous Apa has made sure that Iqbal does not forget about Jahan Ara, probably because she knows that it riles him up & he kind of loses his sense of judgment without it being clouded with negativity. While taking about Gaiti & Zafar’s marriage, Firdous used Jahan Ara’s name to paint a picture in front of Iqbal that Gaiti takes after her mother & because she has refused to get married to Zafar, there’s no guarantee that she won’t leave him after the marriage, exactly how Jahan Ara left Iqbal. Not only that, Firdous hit the bullseyes because it compelled Iqbal to do some thinking & then she put forth her demands too which was to make sure Zafar gets financial security as a reward for this marriage. No wonder why in this household despite the fact that both her brothers are married & have opinionated wives, Firdous Apa has succeeded in having full control over both Iqbal & Munawwar, especially Iqbal.
Badar tried to sabotage Sameer & Gaiti’s relationship. Who would’ve thought that someone who looks so harmless could actually say something like this to malign Sameer’s heart against Gaiti. At first I thought what Badar did was a sheer display or cowardice but later when he regretted & then confessed his feelings to Gaiti, it made me change my mind. Badar knows that he does not stand a chance whatsoever, plus he saw how Gaiti was in love with Sameer but still he decided to let her know what he feels for her, which is something that a coward would never do. Badar genuinely loves her, even thought Gaiti has not done anything for him to feel that way, she insults him, she thinks of him as a nobody but still Badar loves her & wanted to let her know that.
I really like Nafeesa’s character, she is the only voice of reason in Gaiti’s life as well as that entire house. Munawwar did seem a little disappointed that Iqbal was marrying Gaiti off to Zafar but he chose to stay silent because he has saved his daughter so he decided to not interfere in Iqbal’s affair. Munawwar does respect Firdous Apa a lot but when it comes to his family, he doesn’t let her rule him which actually is wise of him. Munawwar also has a regard for his wife which unfortunately Iqbal doesn’t. It seems Iqbal thinks that the only woman worthy of his respect is his sister Firdous because she has painted this image of herself in front of him. I liked how Gaiti decided to do something & she didn’t just sit still, yes, she did get caught but at least she took a stand for herself by openly refusing to get married to Zafar. I really like how Gaiti’s character is turning out to be, she knows that things are never in her favor, yet she doesn’t shy away from doing what her heart desires. It was unfortunate that Fareeha put a bad word about Gaiti in front of Safina, who already wasn’t too convinced with Sameer’s choice. Also, it was nicely balanced that it wasn’t only Gaiti who was trying to do something about this situation, Sameer was equally active & involved, which showed that he was eager too.
Closing Thoughts – Very Impressive:
Overall, this episode of Do Bol was really nice & I had a great time watching it. I like how it has such a good & warm vibe, even though this drama does showcase family politics but the best part is that the negativity isn’t too overpowering. The direction is flawless & all the actors have done a wonderful job. Hira Mani looks ravishing & I think she hasn’t looked this good in any of her previous dramas, the director really has captured her beauty perfectly. I think Hira Mani shows that an actress can look beautiful in lesser makeup, yes her hairstyling does seem a bit too well put together for an ordinary girl but her makeup is perfect. The OST is perfect too & the editors have really used it meticulously. All the other actors have contributed in making this drama complete. Really impressed & looking forward to the next episode which promises a lot more drama. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Do Bol.
Ohkay so, this episode of Do Bol focused more on all the family members & their politics, so much so that it didn’t offer anything new but it does not undermine the fact that it still was an interesting episode to watch. I do wish they had kind of wrapped things up a bit in this episode because it seems they will give us a rushed ending now!
Side Characters Got A Screen-time:
Badar was suffering silently. He didn’t have the courage to confront Gaiti as he feared that she might say what he did not want to hear. Gaiti obviously had no idea what was wrong with Badar & she continued to do all that she promised him, that is staying by his side & doing everything that he loves.
Gaiti’s family has not only welcomed her back wholeheartedly, they are planning a reception for her & Badar too, which I think was very sweet. Seeing Iqbal being actively involved in the planning & giving Gaiti full freedom to choose the date was very sweet of him. Iqbal has changed & he is doing everything to let Gaiti know that she is loved. Nafeesa’s happiness seeing her entire family especially Iqbal & Gaiti happy is super sweet. She genuinely cared for both her husband & her daughter that is why out of all the people she is the happiest.
Zafar apologized to Iqbal only because Firdous said so, otherwise he has shown no remorse over what he has done. It was interesting to see how even Fareeha became confrontational with Firdous & showed her a mirror. Firdous still has not learnt her lesson & it is unfortunate that she still teaches Zafar to be manipulative only to attain financial gains from Iqbal. Firdous can not stand the fact that Badar has joined Iqbal & that Iqbal is on good terms with his only daughter. It was ironic that Firdous claimed Fareeha was selfish but she totally forgot that she herself is no less either!
Rania continued to make an issue to convince her family for Jamshed but Jamshed only manipulated Rania whereas he is not sincere with her. The entire scenario of Rania wanting to get married to Jamshed has been stretched like a rubber band & similarly, Sameer wanting to win Gaiti back is another such instance which is super annoying. I found it funny that without even listening to Gaiti, Sameer announced that he was coming to get her? How stupid is he? I swear I have seen quite a lot of annoying characters in Pakistani dramas but Sameer is a dheet of some other level. Fareeha is another good-for-nothing character who has wasted so much of resources to look ‘good’ but unfortunately, has failed miserably. An epic fail sorts!
Closing Thoughts – Coverage of Side Tracks:
Overall, this episode of Do Bol was decent but definitely could have included such situations that actually mattered but then again, it is understandable that they had to give these supporting tracks a closure too so they addressed them all in this episode. However, I do dread that the final episode might give us a rushed ending. So far so good. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Do Bol.
Ohkay so, this episode of Do Bol had a lot of offer – some sweet & some bitter moments. It is amazing how everything is falling into place & I can’t wait for the last episode tomorrow. In literal sense, Team Do Bol has proved that when simple stories are executed nicely, they make such beautiful dramas.
Iqbal Has Changed Completely:
Iqbal decided to welcome Gaiti & Badar back into his life. The credit for it definitely goes to Nafeesa because it was due to her patience & persistence that she succeeded in convincing Iqbal to change his mind & accept the fact that he could never stay on bad terms with his only daughter. Badar respected Iqbal’s wish & took Gaiti to see her entire family. That entire scene along with Gaiti & Iqbal’s heart to heart was so emotional & well-executed, but I chuckled seeing Firdous acting as a typical Pupho who could not see everyone happy. I also liked the way Nafeesa tackled Firdous in this entire situation where she just listened to her quietly & didn’t say much as she was well aware of the kind of attitude Firdous generally had towards her family. It is also quite interesting to see how despite knowing everything that Zafar has done, Firdous continues to test everyone to see if they still respect her or not.
Gaiti & Badar shared a few good moments together but then Jamshed who kept on blackmailing Gaiti ended up doing what he was threatening her about. Badar was already confused after all the things he had heard from Fareeha that is why he found it hard to ignore the evidence that Jamshed presented & the picture that he painted in front of Badar. To be honest, I don’t really get Fareeha’s character & her involvement in this entire matter. She dislikes Gaiti & doesn’t want her to settle with Sameer, that’s fine but the phone call that she made to Badar in order to warn him was uncalled for. It is too obvious that Fareeha has got no life of her own, she is faarigh in literal sense that is why she has picked up Gaiti as a subject of her time pass & that is why she can’t stop yapping about her. Fareeha’s attitude is exactly like her hairstyle & styling – TACKY!
Sameer has turned out to be an annoying character. It is amusing how he acts all genteel & decent but all the things that he does scream the opposite. It was good to know that Sameer did acknowledge it in front of Rameen that everything between him & Gaiti was over but not sure why is he going to call Gaiti as shown in the preview of the next episode. Badar tried really hard to ignore everything but the constant reminders from all the sides are definitely going to cloud his judgment for a while. I did like the fact that even after hearing all those bad things about Gaiti, Badar did not show any reaction to make Fareeha or Jamshed feel that he was believing them. Badar has kept everything to himself & is analysing the situation, let’s see what happens.
Closing Thoughts – Beautiful Performances:
Overall, this episode of Do Bol was emotional & packed with beautiful performances. The father daughter scene acted beautifully by Mehmood Aslam & Hira Mani was the highlight of this episode. The preview of the next episode seems dramatic & it seems that they still have a lot to show, so I am eagerly waiting to see that. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Do Bol.
Ohkay so, this episode of Do Bol focused more on the all the feelings & emotions that Gaiti was experiencing. The slow & steady change in Gaiti’s perspective & thought process has been shown beautifully in this drama & now this episode marked the defining moment of her relationship with Badar.
Gaiti Finally Admitted That She Loves Badar:
Gaiti did come back to Badar after being thrown out of Nafees’ place but still, all this while she was there, she could not take Badar out of her mind. Badar did think Gaiti came back because she had nowhere to go but he didn’t know that it was Gaiti’s love towards him that brought her back to his place. Badar did persuade Gaiti to come to a final conclusion because he wanted to do right by her. Ever since Gaiti left & he received those divorce papers, Badar has only doubted & questioned the integrity of this relationship. Badar knows that this relationship means a lot to him but despite that, he doesn’t want to prevent Gaiti from living the life she desires or dreams of. Badar started feeling that Gaiti came back only due to her helplessness & that is why he told her clearly that he will have no issues if she decides to leave.
Gaiti knew that she wanted to stay with Badar, she has fallen in love with him but till the time Badar made his intentions clear, she hadn’t addressed those feelings herself. Till date, Gaiti knew that Badar loved her but she herself did not admit that she also had feelings for him but then thanks to Sameer she was forced to think on those lines.
Sameer has now started to act like a spoiled brat who refuses to take no for an answer. I will admit that I like how the writer has shown Sameer to be a kind & harmless person & has only shown that the circumstances were never in his favour because of which he could not do what he wanted to in order to win Gaiti’s heart, but now his feelings have turned into an obsession which is a bit too much. Sameer knows that he has been misunderstood by Gaiti but only to find himself a chance of meeting her, he ended up pushing her to the limit where she was forced to confess that she was in love with Badar. Gaiti finally let Badar know that she was ready to spend the rest of her life with him & Badar could not believe it. That entire scene was nicely done.
On Iqbal’s side, he couldn’t cope up with the news of Jahan Ara’s demise, it broke & shattered him completely & may be that’s why, he decided to let go of any such ill feelings that he had towards anyone because Iqbal also learned that holding so much hatred & anger in his heart was doing no good to him or his family. May be that’s why Iqbal not only forgave Zafar but also found it in his heart to forgive & welcome Gaiti back in his life too. Nafeesa’s patience & persistence is commendable & I also love how both Nasreen & Nafeesa find the time to unwind & confide in each other. Nasreen at first did seem to be a little selfish but I like how they have shown her sharing such a healthy relationship with Nafeesa, where she feels for her a lot & always lends her emotional support too.
In last week’s episode of Do Bol, during Neelam’s rukhsati scene, they showed that Zafar attended the wedding but in this week’s episode, they suggested as if he brought home now for the first time that too after having him jailed. I found this to be a little glitch because last week there was a conversation too where Iqbal tells Munawwar to hurry up with Neelam’s wedding before Zafar’s issue is blown out of proportion & he causes more harm as by that time Zafar had already left for Malaysia supposedly. Anyways, Zafar came back but he didn’t feel ashamed at what he has done, in fact he vowed to destroy his own uncles because they exposed him. Firdous tried really hard to win her place back by playing the sympathy card but she is well aware of the fact that Zafar’s attitude will land her in deep trouble.
Jamshed filmed Gaiti’s final meeting with Sameer & on the other hand even Fareeha was trying to plant a seed of doubt in Badar’s heart against Gaiti too. It seems Gaiti will have to make some more effort in order to prove her love & purity of her intentions in front of Badar because the circumstances will state the otherwise.
Closing Thoughts – Beautiful Drama:
Overall, this episode like all the previous episodes of Do Bol was superb. I loved Hira Mani’s calm & composed acting as Gaiti. She made it obvious that despite the circumstances not being in her favour, she was at peace & was ready to take her life as it comes. It is commendable how such intricate & complex emotions have been conveyed by Hira Mani with such effortlessness. Affan Waheed & all the supporting actors have done a wonderful job too. The entire team of Do Bol should take a bow for creating & giving the viewers such a beautiful drama. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Do Bol.
Ohkay so, this episode of Do Bol was pretty tragic & to some extent a bit slow too but I found it interesting how external factors were turning the entire situation in Gaiti & Badar’s favor.
The Closure:
Iqbal finally came to realize that he has spent a good chunk of his life harbouring negative feelings in his heart, that is why he now took a decision that he will let go of any such feelings as he himself was tired of holding so much of anger in his heart. Spending time away from Gaiti that too guilt-stricken has helped Iqbal a great deal in shifting his focus from the things that are unnecessary to those things or people that actually deserve his attention; first & foremost his wife Nafeesa & his daughter Gaiti. It was interesting to see how Iqbal didn’t pay heed to whatever Firdous said. Everything that Zafar has done to Iqbal & the family business has also been an eye-opening experience for him & that has also compelled him to put his sister & nephew at the backseat because he has allowed them to exploit him for so so long.
Nafeesa really has been an ideal partner who has always pushed Iqbal to do something that he would never do. It is beautiful how even without having much support or encouragement from her husband, Nafeesa still has never allowed any complexes or insecurities creep into her mind. In fact, Nafeesa has not let anything stop her from speaking her mind & being the voice of reason. Iqbal never gave Nafeesa the edge to put her opinion forward but she didn’t stop trying & now it was working. It was nice to see Iqbal acknowledging all that Nafeesa has done for him & she was the one who pushed him to see Jahan Ara & put a proper closure to unspoken feelings.
Iqbal & Jahan Ara’s meeting was well-executed, it was well-worded too. Iqbal told Jahan Ara that he was unable to forget her & even she admitted that he was her first love. Jahan Ara did lead a peaceful life with Nafees but seeing how possessive to the point of being obsessed with Jahan Ara he was, it was very understandable that she felt suffocated & emotionally drained. Nafees was way too dependent on Jahan Ara & she started making it obvious that even at times she felt tired of tackling him because he didn’t give her the edge to just be herself for a while. Nafees wanted Jahan Ara to act as his wife all the time & she had to because she realized that this was the kind of love Nafees was capable of. Jahan Ara did let Gaiti know that if Iqbal had trusted her, she would have never left him. I am glad that both Iqbal & Jahan Ara met for the last time & also gave words to the feelings they had buried in their hearts for all their lives. Jahan Ara did die in peace & I am glad Nafees wasn’t there when she & Iqbal met.
Fareeha played a huge part in convincing Badar to go & bring Gaiti back. Even though Fareeha was doing it all due to her ulterior motive but still, she ended up helping in bringing Gaiti & Badar back together. Fareeha just does not want Sameer to get married to Gaiti, that is why she is doing everything to make sure it doesn’t happen. To be honest, Sameer’s late lateef-pan made me chuckle, like c’mon man, just accept that your timing is off big-time & that you are always going to be majboor one way or the other, therefore you should leave Gaiti for Badar & get married to the girl your mom chose for you. I fail to understand why & how does Sameer always allow circumstances to beat him at his game? Majboor or Bechara much?
Anyways, Badar rescued Gaiti from Nafees & then Gaiti made a conscious decision of not going to her father’s place but Badar’s. Gaiti has actually accepted that she is married to Badar & that his home is her home too. Gaiti found out about her FIL’s death & she was ashamed to not have known about it. It was nice to see Qudsia & Gaiti consoling each other, it is like after losing their loved one’s, they both have found that one common thing which will connect them emotionally. Gaiti apologized & so did Qudsia, which actually means they both are going to start afresh. Someone please find Rania a groom, her desperation is out of control!
Closing Thoughts – Emotional Layers:
Overall, this episode of Do Bol was slow but was done beautifully. I love how the writer has added all those layers of emotions in all of these characters. Nafees’s obsession, Jahan Ara’s frustration, Iqbal’s regrets, Qudsia & Gaiti’s realization – all of this was covered subtly but still with so much of clarity. Do Bol shows how simple dramas can move you emotionally & how you don’t need too much of dramatic situations to give some dimension to the story. Acting & direction was spot on as usual. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Do Bol.
Ohkay so, this episode of Do Bol was phenomenal & had some very important developments to its credit. It not only took the story forward but showcased the emotional shift in almost all the characters. I liked watching how all the characters had one thing or the other going on in their lives & they all were faced with their fair shares of struggles.
Emotional Shift In All The Characters:
Gaiti made me feel for her a lot. She has been someone who never got validation of her entire family except her step-mother. Gaiti grew up in a setting where she always felt unwanted, like a total stranger that is why she relied on outsiders for emotional support thinking they will fulfil her desire of validation & make her feel valued. Gaiti found Badar but she actually thought that after escaping, she will finally be able to feel the freedom she always dreamt of but as the time goes by, every single day she is reminded that she is once again an unwanted presence in someone else’s house. When Gaiti cried after hearing all the things that Nafees had to say about her, I felt for her a lot because Gaiti was back to square one, faced with something she was running away from, but then on the brighter side, though things have been hurtful for her in her past, she was now understanding the importance of her family & all the things she actually took for granted.
Gaiti always believed that her life would be so much better with her biological mother, even though Iqbal never gave her a reason to feel content with what she had but Gaiti always thought the grass was greener on the other side. Nafees’s attitude & Jahan Ara’s struggle to maintain a healthy balance between her husband & daughter was making Gaiti realize that she was better off without her mother because she was not going to be there for her free from her own responsibilities. Gaiti started to feel the appreciation for the fact that even though she didn’t have emotional fulfilment in Iqbal’s home but she was always safe & secure there & that was the place that she could actually call her home. I think this time away from everyone, Gaiti kind of got a break to analyse & realize what’s important & what direction she wants to steer her life to. This time away from Badar also made Gaiti realize that he was the only one who made her feel valued, important & loved like she never had experienced before.
Jahan Ara actually wanted to bring all the happiness to Gaiti that is why without the sense of right & wrong, she not only sent divorce papers to Badar on behalf of Gaiti without her consent but she also invited Sameer to force him back into Gaiti’s life. Jahan Ara is guilt-stricken therefore she thinks finding Gaiti her match that she also once loved was the best way to compensate & find happiness for her. Jahan Ara has not being able to read between the lines, she has not being able to hear the unspoken words of Gaiti that her refusal to get divorce from Badar is actually her way of admitting that she might have fallen in love with him. Jahan Ara feels for Gaiti, that’s given, she also loves her daughter a lot but she wants to do everything for Gaiti based on her own perspective & the things she deems right. For Jahan Ara, Badar is not her match & is someone who has been imposed on her, therefore she is trying to undo that by forcing Sameer into her life!
Iqbal finally got the hang of the situation & he not only appointed Jamil Sahab back, he gave him the authority to hire whoever he thought was fit for the job. Zafar has carelessly stolen a hefty amount & the moment he found out that Iqbal got a heed of the situation, he ran away. Iqbal has now realized that he can not trust anyone just so easily in the matters concerning his business & that is why he was also convinced that Badar was trustworthy because he took care of his business with sincerity. For the first time Iqbal felt relieved & also acknowledged that Gaiti’s decision of not marrying Zafar was right. The time that Iqbal has spent away from Gaiti has also changed his perspective about a lot of things plus he has also started to feel that he made some wrong choices due to his ego & may be that’s why he is eager to make amends.
Sameer found out how Fareeha played a huge part in creating misunderstandings between him & Gaiti. Sameer not only confronted Fareeha but he also reached to the final conclusion that he was not going to let go of this second chance that he has got. Sameer is keen to fix everything & accept Gaiti back in his life but he will soon learn that he means nothing to Gaiti now.
Closing Thoughts – Convincing & Interesting:
Overall, this episode of Do Bol was convincing & very interesting. Even though the overall execution of this drama & storytelling has remained simple but it still makes such an interesting & engaging watch. I am actually gutted that Do Bol is ending next week, even though it is good that we’ll get to watch the episodes back to back but it’s like by ending it quickly they are taking away the charm of this drama like waiting for it for days to watch it every week & then anticipating what is yet to come. Anyways, the acting & direction remains flawless. Hira Mani is the star of this drama. Affan Waheed didn’t have much scenes but the one in which he gets to meet Iqbal & talk about his father was very heart-touching, especially the sadness in his voice added that touch of realness to that entire scenario that a son was mourning the loss of his father. The actress playing the role of Fareeha is a styling & fashion disaster, the first thing she needs to do is grow the fringe/bangs out, everything about her is just so off. The styling of the rest of the cast is on-point, but I wish they hadn’t given Nafees uncle that fitted silk/satin sleeping suit, it was another eyesore which is hard to unsee now. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Do Bol.
