Izteraab is story of Zara and Jazaib who have been married for several years and are parents to two beautiful children. Zara and Jazaib’s marriage is in shambles. Apparently Jazaib was involved with his secretary and that upset Zara. Zara’s a working woman and Jazaib thinks Zara doesn’t give enough time to their children. Jazaib has guests over who happen to be his relatives – his khaala and her daughter.

Entry of another woman in a married couple’s life is bound to create tension and that’s what happened to Jazaib and Zara’s marriage too. Dua (Jazaib’s cousin/khaala’s daughter) shares the responsibility of Zara’s household, looks after her children and slowly makes place in Jazaib’s heart. She is shown to be bholi bhaali but I doubt if she’s actually that bholi bhaali, . As a result, Jazaib and Zara end their marriage and Jazaib ends up marrying his cousin despite facing opposition from his aunt/Dua’s mother.

Zara is shown to be a career oriented woman who loves her children to death and would do anything for their happiness but doesn’t make her a good mother whereas Jazaib is shown to be this laidback guy who loves his children and struggles to get along with his wife, anyhow they’re separated now.

Zara and Jazaib’s children Sofiya and Tabrez are not very with the development, as obvious parents’ separation always take toll on the children. Sofiya is more or less like her mother, she does not approve of Dua as her mother, well stepmother and intentionally misbehaves with her. Dua, after marrying Jazaib is proving to be a careless mother so far.

So far, the story doesn’t have anything new to offer but it could still be a good serial and the serial seriously has some great dialogues, I love nano’s valuable advice on marriage, career. I definitely want to see more of Nasreen Qureshi. Saba Qamar’s looking insanely gorgeous and yes she’s acting well too. Mikaal (*eye candy*) has been great too. Let’s see how Jazaib and Dua’s married life goes in the coming episodes.
