Poor Ishal! She has to go through so much but since she’s naive she always sees the best in the other person, sometimes I wish she was as clever as her sister-in-law, at least life would have been easier for her in sasural. She buys gifts for her in-laws but since her sister-in-law likes finding faults in everything she does, she pretends to not like the gifts and she has bought cheap stuff to put them down just because their financial status is not the same as her father’s and she should have bought even more expensive and branded gifts which was appalling.
I don’t know why Araiz cannot see the mutual dislike his mother and daughter share for his wife? Fine they’re your mother and sister but you are smart enough to sense their intentions especially Soni when she was humiliating Ishal regarding the gifts, he could have at least told her off as an elder brother (which man can accept his younger sister talking so rudely with his wife?). And omg Shahraiz is such a kameena, he sells the gifts to his friend when Araiz is about to pack stuff and distribute it among poor people. I am assuming Shahraiz has kept his gift and sold the rest of them, how smart! In the beginning I used to think he was a bit sensible and matured out of the three but nope he is proving to be even more disgusting. What also disappointed me was Araiz putting his shirt inside the shopping bag, I mean stop being your mother’s pet yaar, think about your wife, she has bought gifts with so much love for you and just because your mother did not like the shirt you are ready to give it away. Sure, you might have a different opinion regarding the theory that “gifts dene se pyaar badhta hai” but you claim to love your wife with all your heart and you cannot keep her gift? You don’t have to use it but at least keep it with you for Ishal’s happiness.
Since we were speaking about Araiz’s younger brother Shahraiz, his derogatory remarks were pretty shocking for Iva, I mean I was not expecting him to be like this, but yes abhi toh shuruaat huyi hai, aagey aagey dekhte hain ki yeh kya gul khilaate hain! (Can’t this also amount to borderline sexual assault?). It seems the entire family is very chaalak maybe except for Araiz, the trio is very evil. Iva is another nutcase, she didn’t realise his remarks were derogatory until her husband told her. And things are only going to get worse because now her father has learnt about the treatment meted out by Ishal’s in-laws upon their maiden visit to her sasural to Iva and Rehbar. Also, Rehbar, it seems is supporting Ishal to settle scores with his father-in-law, until the last episode I kept giving him benefit of the doubt but not anymore.
The most funniest thing about the entire episode has to be Soni going up to her mother and expressing shock regarding her mother’s decision to have the gifts distributed among poor. It’s like pehle khudi aag lagao phir jab woh aag aapke paas pahunch jaye tab aap hairaan reh jao. I am waiting for her to get married and I hope she gets an eviler saas because she deserves it!
Ahsan Khan and Mehwish Hayat were pretty okay in the episode. Sana Askari and Bushra Ansari were good and their characters are supposed to make the viewers hate them and they are doing a good job of it but having said that their characters are very easy to play, I mean no offence to them but both of them already look quite *chaalak* and they don’t have much to do except for hatching evil conspiracies against poor Ishal who is so sweet to them. Aly Khan, Javed Sheikh and the actress who plays Iva were not bad either. The direction was good and I am glad they are keeping the focus on Ishal’s maika and sasural. The next episode seems interesting because as I wrote above things are going to get worse from here…
