I feel the exact same way, Ami. Having to share your parents with a stranger and his kids seems absurd to me! 🥺 How do you watch your mother move on with a whole new family? 😭 Pari's identity will finally be disclosed to Khanwar Mehmood in Epsiode 5. Hearbreaking episodes ahead, my dear friend. 😔

Hi dearies,

Sorry I am a little late with my thoughts on this show so far.

To start, I really like the song ..."Ishq To La Zawaal Hota Hai"

I feel the tune is somewhat similar to a Hindi movie song from the 80's.

Just can't recollect the song though...😳

The most lovable character is Pari ( & the actress too ).

Pari is sweet, somewhat naive, stubborn in her own way & an emotional girl.

Just like any young girl, she has dreams, she has ambitions & hopes .

She wants to pursue her dreams in hopes of giving her mother & herself a bright future.

I like that she's confident & strong in her own way. The tragedy of

losing her dad and those constant rebukes from her aunt has not negatively impacted

her self esteem.

While, Saba the single mother who just lost her husband, the father to

her only child, is now a burden & once again a responsibilty to her (aging ) dad

& her brother.

She is struggling internally & no one to share her thoughts & fears with, most of

all her sweet daughter.

I wonder if Saba's dad was not alive, would her brother been so willing to take care of

his sister & niece ? What about Saba's Bhabhi??

This is where I can empathize with the dad trying to get his daughter remarried.

He's been witness to his DILs taunts & secondary treatment to his daughter & granddaughter.

What would happen when he's gone ?

I am a little confused with Saad's feelings towards Pari. What does he truly feel ?

While he seems to get upset with her on minor issues (when he found her in his room ),

he truly feels for her when she's sad. Is that affection or is it love, is not clear to me 😳

And coming to Bhabhi...this is something that's always boggled me on many shows.

While shows want to portray women as strong, we have also seen women coming down on women.

On one hand she is shown to be helping her SIL secure a future with a new husband & home,

thus relieving her family of that responsibility, she is also insecure & selfish to an extent.

Will Bhabhi's intent of keeping Pari a secret until after Saba's marriage end up hurting

Saba & Pari & their relationship as well ??

@ Ami, thanks for posting all those teasers.

I also loved Pari's dialogue from 4th episode that you posted

@ Dazz...about remarriage...I think the feelings change with age.

for someone of Pari's age, it's going to be extremely hard, because you are very vulnerable

at that young age.

As they say time is a healer, so as time goes by memories fade ( not forget) & it would

Probably be easier to accept changes & deal with them.

I feel for both Pari & Saba & fear for what's coming? They had each other until now , but

what happens now is to be seen ???

Yes, it is going to be very emotional. Pari is going to get emotional heart break from all sides. Seems that Saad is also liking someone else based on the pre-cap.

Question, why almost all Pak dramas are high on emotions? Do they have any light hearted dramas?

I think the brother is fine but gives into his wife's demand. Usually brothers are more protective of their sisters and would do anything for their happiness but here it is altogether a different story.

If Saba's dad was not alive, still the brother would have taken care of her due to respect in society, but then Saba and PAri would have compromised big time.

I feel somewhere the granddad is right based on his age and what he has seen in the society. If he had support from his son, he would not have thought of second marriage. He should not have trusted his DIL blindly regarding Saba's marriage. Hiding thing is going to create major havoc in Pari's life.

Regarding Saad, it seems that he has mixed feeling for Pari. He just sees her as her cousin sister. It is very tough for me to digest the brother sister relation turning into love relationship.

@Mish: You have a point that I highlighted above. I have seen at least here in USA, kids would convince and try to send parent on a date and try to find a new life partner. Again this is USA not sure if that's the case in Asian countries.

Ami, I've always had a difficult time accepting these kinds of relationships as well. It seems to be a common theme in their dramas. 🤔 Isn't remarriage, especially for a woman, frowned upon in India? I always got that impression from movies and television shows like IKRS. Even here in the West, with the influence of the desi culture I still feel that it's extremely difficult to watch your parents moving on to someone else. I think it's only natural to feel possessive of one's parents. 😳

Anything related to woman like re-marriage, divorce, breakup is frowned upon in India especially in lower, middle class. Have to admit lot of things are changing slowly.

What I like is I am seeing more parents supporting their daughters and their dreams.😊

Ok, so watched episode 5 of Parchayee today.

Meant to ask what does Khanwar mean by saying, "Wiase bhi mjuhe bati hui aurat nahi chahiye" ??

Ami, have to add "Infertility" to this frowned upon list .

It's the narrow mindedness even among the educated, sadly..😕
