You know, I personally find romance in Pakistani dramas very awkward. Not just in dramas, since I am a regular reader of digests as well, just reading about them makes it very hard for me to digest 😆 Only some writer can deal with the Pakistani version of romance nicely, most just go over the top and try to copy the Indian desi soap style of romancing and I just can not see it go well with Pakistani characters xD I am trying to overcome this awkwardness but it still makes it very difficult for me to watch the drama with my family. Of course I am not against them or anything but personally it's hard for me to find an aesthetic romance in Pakistani dramas. It all comes down to presentation, really. More than the hug, what I found more intimate was RuRoz's pillow talk. Them looking at each other and just talking about their future..now that was nicely shown.
I do hope that WaFa get their share of scenes. One can't be sure with Pakistani dramas because actors have their certain, and legit, reservations. But OsMaya are such good friends with amazing ease and comfort between them...Allah kare we get some nice moments between them
I was actually waiting for the moment or a scene where Arjumand would've attempted to take her life and I can't explain how happy I got that we didn't even get so much as a hint of it. Farhat Ishtiaq got some massive backlash for showing suicide in Humsafar and I'm glad she's learned from that. Arjumand's state was so broken and vulnerable, the sheer humiliation of rejection was making it hard for her to breathe. I loved that scene where she's standing in front of the mirror and it hits her again that Behroze left her and she falls on the floor, crying helplessly. But despite all that, she kept refusing and putting up a fight. And it wasn't till Agha Jaan so casually disregarded her self that she stopped struggling. That's when she realized that her struggle is futile. Yahan koi nahin sunne wala..
Arjumand herself confessed that she found it hard to even look at Behroze, let alone talk with him. The reality of their relationship always overpowered her and the haya took control. But with Suhaib she was more her age. She is younger than the brothers and had always been pampered by them as evident by the flashbacks. She was their playmate and while growing up, her equation with Behroze changed but it remained the same with Suhaib. Their first scene was hinting towards their friendship. Suhaib's blatant teasing about her restlessness to meet Behroze and Arjumand's adorably stern reaction to it, "Suhaib, tum hamesha mere saath aisa hi karte ho!" They have been one team and yes, they have an openness in their relationship which caused her to literally shake Suhaib up for his cowardly obedience. And Suhaib also told her his position, that he's helpless. His very own brother has left him in a position which is no less than a suffocating trap for him and he can't do anything about it. Khair, I am glad they had this conversation. They both know what the other feels about this nikaah. It will make things more interesting when they actually start their new life together...who changes first.
