Zarmina finally took a stand for her sister and put Attiya in her place by telling her off in a way that was truly gratifying….someone really needed to do that. I am totally in love with Maya’s character….Annie Jaffrey is cute beyond words. Whoever decided to cast her in this role is a genius and I must thank them for it. Annie Jaffrey has breathed life into Maya’s character because it comes naturally to her. I can’t think of any other actress who could have been better suited for this role. I am glad that all the chulbuli girls are together and unlike the last time I thoroughly enjoyed the comic scenes. With the stepmother out of the way for now, I am definitely enjoying the play more. Apne bhai ke liye khana lagwao dialogue and the scene at the grocery store made me chuckle.
The Faizer/Zarmina scene when they hold hands was actually very disappointing, uncalled-for and unnecessary too. The attraction between the two could have been shown in a much better manner. Neelam Munir needs to work on her acting skills big time, her expressions really confuse me at times and I am left wondering what exactly she is feeling. Acting is not all about delivering dialogues but sometime actors convey more with their expressions and Neelam Munir has let me down in that department.
Javed Sheikh is another actor who never fails to impress. The scene when Maya tells asks her father if she really is his daughter or not, made me smile and cry at the same time. Maya shared what was happening in the house with Zarmina at some point but the viewers only got to find out that Zarmina knew when she talked to her father.
Faizer’s meeting with Shahzib was nicely scripted and acted out well enough but Neelam’s expressions were too strange for words. I have to say that Faizer and Maya’s behan bhai relationship is far more relatable and cute than the love interest that Faizer has in Zarmina, maybe because Annie Jaffrey and Danish Taimoor’s on-screen chemistry is way better than that of Neelam Munir and Danish Taimoor.
Attiya is interested in Shahzibs’ property more than anything else and Rashid will do anything to get married to Maya. So, Maya is not Shahizib’s daughter after all and Attiya needs a slap on the face for having the guts to confront Shahizb regarding the issue.
The precap for the next episode promises a lot of drama and I am eagerly looking forward to it. The biggest disappointment in today’s episode for me was Neelam Munir’s acting and that one scene which I mentioned already.
Fatima Awan.
