Habs: Feroze Khan - Ushna Shah (ARY drama) - Page 113

Zindagi gulzar hai was the first pak drama I watched. And shocked is an understatement of what I felt when kashaf announced she is pregnant. I had no clue they are so discreet😆

Over the years, I have learned that hug mil gaya toh hi bahut badi baat ho gayi. So yes, the day Basit and Ayesha start smiling at each other bina wajah...I will know consummation ho gaya.

All jokes aside, I don't think their relationship has progressed that far. Basit is not ready for the next step. He needs to get over his anxiety and trust issues.

And even Ayesha needs to get comfortable with Basit as her husband. Till now, she has seen no emotional attachment from his side.

So, I think and hope consummation is filhaal dur ki baat.

Oh wow! I really didn’t think of this. The promo did show Basit happy during the party but upset later while confronting Sadia. I’m waiting for that episode 🥳

I was shocked too during ZGH when Kashaf announced her pregnancy😂 It is so discreet in these shows that one can never be certain.

I agree with you on the fact that they both need to get comfortable with each other first. Basit needs to start opening up to Ayesha and vice versa. I would love to witness a hug or an emotional moment where Basit is comforting Ayesha ❤️ A forehead kiss is obviously wishful thinking 😢

The more I watch them, the more Qudsia and Zoya appear to be cut from the same cloth. But the difference is Qudsia is a woman who has had many years of experience behind her and should know better. But anyway, the way she is increasingly doing the 'Basit damaad nahi mera beta hai' act is priceless.

But I would like to say that while Basit did pass that absolute firecracker of a comment and as viewers we (and Bano perhaps) realise the comment was equally applicable to Qudsia, I don't think he meant it as a taunt for Qudsia. The thing is the way Basit speaks, he doesn't really show any consideration for the feelings of the person listening to him. When he enters Ayesha's house this time, there is contrition in him. He would have not bothered to comment on this whole dowry statement of Amir's mom (had it been any other day he would have considered her far beneath him and not worth being given the time of day) but he slips into the role Qudsia had assigned him ...the man of the house....maybe because he wanted to prove something to Ayesha. The words he had spoken to her about being serious about their marriage he had to now back up with action. He would have walked out after Zoya shouted at him had this happened earlier but instead he literally says something to Qudsia that would calm her down. Lately his behaviour towards Ayesha's family had been extremely careless...we saw it the time they had come to his house after the marriage and the night time visit for the envelope. This time there was a marked difference. He is even taking initiative to solve the problems in Ayesha's family and not just throwing money at them...baby steps and ill informed ones though his initiative might be. No more crying out to be "saved from these middle class people". He is doing all this for Ayesha of course.

And yess...Zoya's words while they came out of a senseless and specifically for Ayesha, a jealousy fuelled rage directed at her family, they also revealed to him the gravity of the problems that Ayesha's family had to deal with. Though as Krinya said, she is talking bullshit. But I think the softening up had already started earlier and we saw it in the way he had spoken to Qudsia when she had called him on the phone to come to their house.

Though...I have something to say about Qudsia's constant demand for money. I think this woman is very bad at budgeting her expenses. Shouldn't she have tried to lower the price of the house instead of talking big to the landlord and telling him that she will pay him whatever price he would quote. I mean they have been tenants for so long. She should have at least tried to drive down the price a bit. 🤔 and she herself eats quite well and her clothes and appearance show she takes care of herself quite well too. So perhaps the problem of not having money comes up only when the money is to be spent on other members of the family, be it her own daughters.

While I was working on whatever, you have put your thoughts across so beautifully.. Thanks for sharing..

Basit yelled at Zoya for breaking his perfume bottle.. Zoya yelled at Basit for breaking up her relationship.. Boy.... Basit does not kid around right? ok ok Kidding..!!

Qudsia has indeed made a mantra out of it in praising Basit and promoting him to son and man of the house. I wonder why Qudsia does this and talks down on women in that sense.. She herself has raised the 3 girls and provided, one way or another.. Bano did not always work.. So how did Qudsia managed then?

Wondering when the dad passed away.
What you said - wow I remember thinking that too.. Like, ok.. no bargaining nothing.. You might have a point that she is just not so good with how to spend the money.. I think she is taking into account dowry requests for Zoya and Bano - if ever required.. or.... save it for a rainy day, when the girls are all married or run away from home and she left by herself.. I notice I am trying to look for something positive in this lady, but I am not liking her much.. actrice is really good..

Off topic - are you strangely also looking forward for the weekend to be over, only so that Tuesday can come soon?

Thank you for the very generous comment! 🥰 I have in turn enjoyed your posts a lot. I agree with you that Ayesha’s mother doesn’t have any genuine affection for Basit and only views him as a source of income. But I feel that she realises his potential, as a son in law, he’s very rich but also responsible and is therefore, a source of pride for her, and therein lies her (selfish) affection for him.

I just wanted Ayesha’s family to be more self sufficient or at least self respecting. Their dynamic with Basit is embarrassing for Ayesha and even for the audience. But perhaps this adds another layer to the show.

I would also like for Basit and Ayesha to be equals in the marriage. Right now, Basit holds a dominant position wherein Ayesha and her family are financially dependent on him but with Ayesha becoming financially solid, this would change. I believe money has the ability to change the dynamics of a relationship. With Soha, Basit was nicer and wanted to please her (especially with gifting her flowers and playing along with her subtle flirting). He may not have been genuine with Soha but he was nicer with her. This was only because he knew she had the option of leaving him at any given point in time and that she was financially very stable. On the other hand, he is more genuine with Ayesha and cares about her, I think he definitely respects her more as a person. But one cannot deny that he took more initiative with Soha.

Now with the sudden realisation and talking of divorce, I believe Basit would take more initiatives with Ayesha. Btw Ayesha and Basit’s chemistry is crackling! They look stunning together. ❤️

All of you are putting your points and views across so fabulously.. It makes me want to stay on this forum the whole day.. So great that we can discuss and analyze and keep ourselves busy for a whole week while we wait..

Yes, money can definitely change the dynamics in a relationship, especially one between a married couple. Or anything else that gives power, the upper-hand.. Sometimes, we don't even realize it.
For example, Basit has fame, status, money and smoking hot good looks. He is also sort of socially awkward. It seems he only knows how to interact with his dad and friend. And he has commitment issues.

Ayesha is beautiful, bright and intelligent, independent, ambitious. Sometimes a pleaser and a know-it-all.. She does not care much for money, only that it is a necessity and she would like to earn her own way and take care of her family.

So, yes..money can and will change the dynamics (not the chemistry) but I think that Ayesha has the power, which lies in whether she will stay with him or leave him. He will not allow divorce, but then again.. she can still leave.. we have seen his hand rise in anger.. or was that fear? was the word divorce a slap in his face and him raising his hand a reflex to self defense?

Hmm... perhaps I am pushing it too much and driving myself crazy in overthinking this.. It is 2 a.m. perhaps I should sleep 😆

I read a quote the other day, which made me think of Basit and Ayesha's relationship and current situation. Sharing the first part of it:

"Being too attached isn't a sign of love, but fear of loss. The ability to let go comes from being confident that what's meant for you is already yours..."

In place of too attached we could also say too controlling perhaps.. But.. feel free to share your thoughts..

Yes, but he could use some coaching - relationship therapy
I am willing to assist happily 😆

Okay so I was thinking.... What should be the course ahead for ayesha? Obviously Basit won't let her work as a PA for someone else. And plus now Bano has a job. So she needn't work.

But also she wants to work. And i believe people should do things they want, even if they don't need it. Poor girl will go mad sitting idle at home. So, I just got a thought, why doesn't ayehaa work with/for sadia?

I remember there was a scene in the walima. Some woman said to Basit you should collaborate with your mother and take advantage of her creative sense. This was the same woman who taunted zoya for wearing ayesha's dress.

So I am assuming sadia does some kind of work in the creative space. Plus she looks like a working woman type as per drama standards. She can employ ayesha and solve this problem once and for all.

What do you guys think of this?😃

Either they will become partners in his company. I only know that Ayesha is bring and can study well. But I do not know yet what interests here.. What is that she wants to become or specialize in.

She is resourceful which become clear when she was searching for a job. Tutoring/Teaching, Social work or advocating. Good organizing skills.

I would like that idea of Ayesha working for or with Sadia. I do not know if she is creative, or what business she has, but Ayesha could always find something to do and make improvements to the processes etc.

So, I would love to see your idea being used and play out nicely..

🤗 The feeling I get from reading comments on this thread is like reliving the pleasure we get from watching the show.

Basit came in to the room and things exploded. 😆 We were all expecting Amir to turn out to have some flaw. Earlier discussions in this thread had assumed he might be a liar (not as rich as he has made Zoya believe him to be or not serious about marriage proposal). But the show has given him a different flaw. His flaw lies in his weak character. I think deep within he thinks Zoya should be grateful that he (a rich boy) has convinced his parents to visit Zoya's family for this rishta and just accept all their demands, etc. And Basit's arrival immediately shakes this assumption. Possibly he feels insecure before this man. After all Amir does nothing...no studying, no helping in dad's business...Of course trust Zoya bibi to find such a sample piece. Like her mother, she too weighs people based on their wealth and nothing else matters. Neither Zoya nor Qudsia would understand why Bano wanted Talal as her partner (a loving, responsible, respectful man though not rich).

And once Basit says what he does, Amir wastes no time on jumping on it as an excuse to show his anger and leave. Had it been a mature person, with the personality of a Talal perhaps, would he not have reacted by remaining silent? (Don't get me wrong..I am disappointed in Talal and his betrayal of Bano) But in Amir's case, it was not Amir's parents who got angry and decided to leave. It was Amir himself. Because perhaps unlike Amir, his parents realised the truth in Basit's words. It had been shameful of the mother to talk about dowry like that. But since Amir got angry, they too do not hesitate to take him on his words and leave.

Basit's face when Zoya was shouting at him!!! Aye haye...it felt good. Like really. 😆 Janice Tessa is a talent to watch out for! She is such a natural actress! Sharing the frame with the likes of Saba Faisal, Feroze Khan, Ushna Shah, she has delivered perfect performances each and every time!

Sweet Selfless Bano - she does not care for anything else in a life partner than what you mentioned.
Although I wish Talal would not have married some other girl and I too can feel the betrayal towards Bano, I do think that whatever happened, happened for the best.

Talal opened Bano's eyes for Qudsia's reality. See, we expect Talal's loyalty towards Bano and their love and promises, but his self-respect and the love for his family is also his priority. Too bad his mom manipulated him and faking illness.. Bano was ready to leave everything behind.. This pain, this experience will help her further to become more assertive and fight for herself. And I hope she wins in the end.. For sure she will help Basit and Ayesha (even if she does not even realize it).

Amir.. I thought Amir would dump Zoya in the end, but I did not expect this. You did - I remember you mentioned that it could be Amir's family rejecting her.. and here Amir did the honors on his parents behalf. Poor Zoya had no time to think properly. She too will thank Basit one day or sabotage Basit and Ayesha for life, unless she marries bigger better and richer.

I hope Basit's wins both sister over.. They might even help him win their sister's heart too 😆 ❤️

Check this beautiful video out guys!

The portrayal of an ‘arranged’ marriage is so real in this show..Basit not knowing how to deal with the emotions and Ayesha’s taunts lol..I love it..it’s so realistic..one or two things I might have even told similar to Ayesha..to my husband after we got married in our initial days 😂 Basit needs Ayesha..his reaction towards divorce was so strong wow! I was like atta boy..listen to your heart..you love this woman in front of you..just refusing to accept it..and finding reasons like you are my responsibility etc..Also Ayesha being generally super upset with Basit was so fun to watch lol..he really deserves it atm because he needs to understand her..I was super mad when he dint turn up at Fahad’s dinner lol..Also I am keen to see how Basit and his mother’s equation evolves…the absence of his mother for a prolonged period has really messed up his emotional quotient and only when he gets closure there he will finally turn a page..What a beautiful show..sigh..also the direction is impeccable..no screaming shouting OTT acting..just pure class! Feroze bhai you look super hot in this show! And Ushna really brings out the natural reactions effortlessly..I love all actors actually
