There wasn’t much development in the story in today’s episode but it had quite a few scenes that made me laugh and one scene in particular which was very moving. The scene when Serena and Zain are having a heart-to-heart conversation with each other right after Zeenia once again makes her father feel like he has never been a good father or husband. I simply love the faith Serena has in her dad and when Zain said “mujhe tum se batein kur ke aik dafa phir apne aap pe yakeen aa jata hai”, I could feel his pain. It happens so often with everyone of us when people who we love make us feel like we are not good enough or that we don’t give our relationships our best. It seems like Zain and Zara had a rocky relationship. Was it that Zara was very possessive about Zain and they fought a lot because of that? That is what I gathered from all the conversations regarding Zain and Zara today. Zeenia says to Zain that he used to shout at his mother like he was shouting at her and that Zara never liked it that Zain worked with women. Zeenia’s stubbornness and her attitude not just towards her father but also towards her sister and everyone else around her is getting to me. Serena lives life to the fullest but is sensitive and caring at the same time. While I understand that Zeenia is still trying to recover from the shock of her mother’s death but even then it seems like she is stubborn by nature. I am definitely loving Serena’s character; she is bubbly, fun and loving. Syra Yusef is turning into a brilliant actress and I expect a lot more from her in the future too.
Aani is always the voice of reason and I like how she explains everything to everyone without sounding too assertive. Kabacha is on a new mission to take revenge from the people who got Faraan into trouble and his plans made it sound like there are many interesting things to look forward to…bring it on Kabaacha.
I felt really sorry for poor Kishmish today, Serena will do anything to be a part of his film and the poor fellow does not know how to deal with Serena and Chandni both. I must add here that today for the first time I really enjoyed Chandni’s scenes, they were so hilarious! But I would not want a maid like her in my house, God the woman talks so much! Kaif Ghaznavi (Chandni) performed really well today and she is another person I am looking forward to seeing more of now.
Zeenia and Zarak Khan are still fighting like they just walked out of a Bollywood flick. These two actors definitely don’t have the kind of chemistry that one would wish for. Shehryaar Munawar was much better in today’s episode as compared to the last one but I am not exactly sold yet! By the way I did not quite get it, where did Zarak Khan get Zeenia’s number from since he had her number saved in his phone…maybe Sanya gave it to him since everyone is trying so hard that they should be friends. It was great to see Nosheen (Sophia) on-screen after such a long time, even though it was only for a minute or so. She looked radiant even after so many years.
Overall, this was an engaging episode, I definitely enjoyed most of the comedy scenes and in my opinion today’s episode belonged to Syra Yusef.
