I will first talk about Salim. Well...I just hope this does NOT go the cliched route and he turns negative or anything near that. Although there are signs of annoyance from his side which I feel is normal given the circumstances. I feel so sad for him but I still haven't warmed up to him the way I have to Imaan. I don't know if its because Salim isn't very expressive when it comes to his feelings whereas Imaan is totally opposite and very talkative. Or is it because I feel there's no chemistry between him and Nazneen? I frankly have no idea! But I totally loved the Khan brothers scene today and it gave us an insight into Saleem. I hope we have more such scenes.

Imaan's love for Nazneen is so deep and he totally wants to make it work which breaks my heart as I know this is not going to end well for at least one character in the triangle.
I don't know exactly what but something seemed so beautiful in the scene where Imaan bends to get on his knees and both Saleem and Naz reach out to him. No one's at fault here, no one dislikes anyone..in fact all three hold each other in deep affection but the circumstances are going to tangle up their lives and ultimately hearts are going to break.
I just can't get enough of this show. Wish the episodes were longer.






Aahanu! 😳


I'd hate for it to go the cliched route. No negative characters please. At least not in that sense I mean. You're right, no one's at fault and so far, none of them deserve what's going to happen when Imaam learns the truth. I don't doubt that Naz does feel something for Salim, but I don't think so she's completely forgotten Imaam either. It's hard having back someone after 17 years, especially having had someone else take his place; but that kind of love doesn't just go either. He didn't leave you on purpose, he was a prisoner. Plus, he's doing his mighty best (for now at least!) putting back the broken pieces together. She will melt at some point, and I'm guessing it's going to be one hard ride.


It's kind of why I feel more invested in their story as well. Harleen doesn't have an easy task, but at least she's committed to one person and bringing some normalcy in his life. It's hard, but at the end, they're going to be together. Nazneen, on the other hand, doesn't have one person to think about, but 4. Her husband, her husband's brother, and her two kids. It's a hell of a choice, and when she says 'I don't know' in future episodes, my heart goes out to her; because of how true that is. She really doesn't know. No one would, placed in that situation. There is no correct step to take. No matter what you do, 5 people are involved, 2 or more out of which are going to be devastated no matter what decision she makes. It's horrible, and poignant and beautiful to watch.

Interesting write-up. About Imaan Khan. I would like to believe that after the torture he went through for 17 years, he just doesn't want to waste another minute and enjoy the life with his family. From the first day, he wanted everyone to be normal and casual. Regarding Imaan calling Salim, I assumed he called him for help coz of his leg and him riding bike after so many years? Silly me! BUT, as you mentioned there's something very curious about him.

On contrary, Sartaj is deeply scarred for life and he is unable to come out of it. It would be interesting how Harleen will help him out.



Hi there! Thank you.


You know, you might be right. I might definitely have read too much into it. It's quite possible that all he wanted was help with his leg and convincing Nazneen. However, he could have asked Salim to wait at the stairs once they reached the building. Why get him to come all the way up? I don't know, something felt fishy, or maybe Advani did that simply for the effect of making us watch Nazneen being a pendulum between the two brothers. It could be nothing for sure, or it could be significant - something they'd reveal in further episodes. Let's see!


Yes, Sartaj is more emotionally affected. They both think they don't require help. However, they both have a very different way of handling things, even for others sake. As I mentioned in some other post, I won't like to believe it is because of their social class and etiquette, but having watched all this week's episodes on Hotstar, I'd like to be inclined to the fact that it might just be. Imaam is a lot more sophisticated and refined in his approach, subconsciously so, of course, but it's there. Sartaj however, lashes out and loses control a lot easier. They might have been tortured similarly, but one of them came out of it worse. And for them, the glitch is that Vikram now knows that.

Beautiful post Sneha. There is something about Imaan that looks mysterious. Or rather I would say there is something about Saleem that looks mysterious.

Imaan is an army man. Lot can change after 17 years. But can the training he got in army go. Can that shrewdness to understand situations go. That training, that experience is in this man's head. Why do I feel he knows what is cooking between Saleem and Naz. And that rooftop bringing of Saleem was to reiterate this fact indirectly. That Naz is his. I have watched epi till 16 Nov. I am not putting those things here. But do watch out for the cookery show and see if you are feeling the same.
Coming to Saleem he looks too good to be true. I mean when Imaan disappeared I feel his relation with Naaz would have been that of bhabi-devar right. His bhabi had a daughter and as per promo was pregnant with second child. Becoming a father like figure to kids is fine, but why didn't Saleem marry. Because he could have still provided the support to kids being married as Naz doesn't need any financial support. This part of him intrigues me beyond anything. I want CVs to give me some plausible explanation for his unmarried status. Even a ditched love or a love affair ended because he told he will have to support his bhabi and kids is also fine. But lack of something looks quite odd.




You know how they might just turn this around completely and someday make Salim involved in a lot more than he looks? Who knows? Having his brother back can be happiness for him, but it is also misery. His whole world just came crashing down. That's his love, his kids, his family. Suddenly, he's lost everything. You can even understand the pain, almost relate to it to be honest. As much as I want to root for Imaam, I cannot help but feel for Salim as well.


No, I got you right there. Like you, I feel that Imaam knows as well. If he doesn't, he at least suspects. That play of emotions when he saw those pictures on the laptop was suspicious. Also, what you said about Salim being invested too much in his brother's family springs a whole line of ideas when you hear <SPOILER ALERT> their double date conversation in further episodes, doesn't it? What does it even mean when Imaam says that Salim fell in love with Naz the first time he introduced them. That line wasn't just thrown in, it had meaning and as we'll see it unravel, I hope to God we won't be shown that she might have felt for him before marriage as well. <END OF SPOILER ALERT>


Let's see how the dynamics play out. I can't believe I have no episodes to watch until next Monday. Such a bummer. πŸ˜†

@sneha there is another dialogue that had intrigued me. Where Imaan tells Saleem is good, Imaan is bad not exactly bad, but Saleem was perfect.
If you ask me, I am fine with the imperfect Sartaaj and Iman. They will have problems like any human can have. I am also fine with Harleen, her devrani who spoke outright to Sartaaj about Harleen in a polite but a firm manner, because they all exhibit their feelings. They don't hold back.
But Salim holds back, he has lot of emotions inside him. And for me such men who suppress emotions are the most dangerous as they can of course have an alter ego
Also another thing where this feeling came to me is that Saleem brings Shaira from police station, Ayaan is underage but still smokes. Do you think a father will allow these. Do you think a father will like to bring his daughter from the police station and don't scold her.
Yes a father pampers a daughter, but if I were to do such a thing leave my father, even my chachu wont spare me. Maybe he will not be as harsh as Papa, but nevertheless he will give a piece of his mind to you in private and a warning don't repeat. Doesn't it look odd, he doesn't scold Shaira on that.
Again if he is a noble man he would not encourage Ayaan smoking. How well Imaan caught it. Not only smoking of Ayaan, but also his GF

Hey!

There's definitely a triangular love story brewing with both the kids taking sides. And true, Imaan and Sartaj are two sides of the same coin. They have different ways of approach and dealings with a situation. I love this juxtaposition in the story.

Brilliant take on Imaan-Naaz-Salim dynamicsπŸ‘

I like Imaan the way he is, mysterious...Salim's char is the one that bothers me, there is so much more to that brother's equation than meets the eye...I feel taking Salim to the rooftop had a purpose ...and the precap looks ugly

Very nice the way u describe the characters is excellent I liked it very much.
Imaan is a complex & mysterious character sometimes who is so messed up & othertime so sweet . A good father ,son, brother & husband but the other second he cheated on Naaz 17 years ago before going to the war...
