The story took an even more unbelievable turn and I am wondering if this script was really written by Haseena Moin. Rashid suggesting to Maya that they should get married only for “dikhawa” and Maya going along with the outlandish idea was just plain shocking (and slightly disgusting)! Not only this but they seem to be doing a great job of “pretending” to be married since Maya is even willing to attend dinner parties hosted by Rashid’s friends In their honor. We don’t know when exactly they got married but they did at some point. Things sure are moving at a fast pace with Rashid planning their honeymoon. I really hate to say this but all of this seems like a product of a teenager’s imagination. You fall in love with a girl you can never get but one fine day she falls in your lap and you are planning a honeymoon in Spain!
Maya’s conversation with the girl at the parlor was another thing about this latest episode that seemed very unreal. It was the strangest conversation ever and if I start pinpointing the bloopers it will take too long! To mention one how did Maya find out that Zeb was unmarried? Totally missed that part.
Zarmina your sister has been missing for ten days now, the sister you loved so much, so it would be good if you put your love life on a hold and toned down on the make up. Maya’s disappearance makes perfect sense to everyone except me. Zarmina says that she is worried about Maya but I would have found it easier to believe that if her feelings were portrayed through her actions and not just words. The accessories, the make up, perfectly blow dried hair, all of this when someone is going through hell seems be a norm in our dramas nowadays. Our actresses, not just in this play but generally, get enough opportunities to get dressed up and look glamorous so why not just tie your hair, not wear accessories and maybe a little less blush on when one is going through such tough times.
Some of the dialogues today really made me wonder if they were written by Haseena Moin. For instance the time when Rashid says to his mother that they will both meet in hell. The time when Shahzib says to Attiya that all “shareefzadis” had moved to “kothis”.
Overall, this latest episode didn’t give me much to write home about and it just makes me sad when I think about what Maya is doing with her life.
