Today's episode was just brilliant. I'm actually all choked up as I write this. All of them acted so well. Starting from the actress that plays Lubna , Hira, Mani, Ahad and Sajal, Farhan Ali Agha and the lady who plays Urooj.
I actually have no complaints with the episode. I liked that they showed Urooj's bhai and bhabhi, to show people that you shall reap what you sow. Usne pata nahi kitne logon ko barbaad kiya hoga, Daniyal would not have been the first. Allah ne usko waapis wahan laake khada kiya jahaan se nikli thi, and that too beizzat ho kar. She destroyed Daniyal's family, and Allah punished her by destroying her relationships , whether with her family, her son or the other men that she was involved with. Ultimately she was in hell, the same hell she had created for Asfand and Daniyal's parents.
I also felt that deleting the scene with Asfand in the hospital (tumhain 100 saal baad bhi pehchaan leta) was a good editing decision. The fact that he refuses to acknowledge her or even talk to her, even after he was instrumental in saving her son's life had much more impact than if he met her and told her yes I recognized you but still saved your son . I felt like Asfand fulfilled his duty as a doctor and as a human and then left the reckoning to Allah. And Allah always makes truth victorious.
The scenes with the family during and after the press conference were so heart-rending, but also really satisfactory. I'm so happy with how they have handled Daniyal's story. I got choked up when Farhan Ali Agha (Usman) says "Shaheed Barrister Daniyal Usman ". He was a great man, who was first mercilessly slandered , and then brutally killed. Usko aakhir Allah ne insaaf dila hi diya.
Okay, coming to the happy part. I feel that Zubiya held back after she realized that he is probably trying to approach her romantically. Abhi tak she was all smiles and coyness when she realized that he was interested in her. But when he gave her a gift, she was probably jolted back to the past. If we reflect, the last man who gave her a gift apart from her dad was Rameez. He gave her that phone, which ultimately cost her everything she held dear at the point. Her mind is now drawing parallels to the same situation. But that conversation . Ahad and Sajal were both so on point there. He was mischievous and she was agitated , confused and probably even scared.
From the promo it looks like she went to speak to him after she realized Lubna wants to speak to her Khaala about her rishta. And she has probably gone to his office to tell him that she won't marry. Dr Asfand, dil ko sambhaal lo, aage khub dhakke lagne waale hain. But he looks so amused when she's scolding him for not taking her seriously.
My absolute favourite scene is the one where he remembers his last conversation with his brother then his Hippocratic oath and starts preparing for the surgery , and how he never looked at Urooj as he walks in and then out of the OR.
I have full faith that the writers will handle Zubiya's story line just as smoothly and beautifully.
This team is fantastic. What a brilliant cast.
