Salaams to everyone and a late but hearty Ramadan Mubarak to all readers
Once again, I hope more and more readers tune into Hum Sitaray’s Saturday treat Rung.
Wow, just loved this episode! The episode starts with Sania asking Zafar about his dad and we find out that he had married a second time and had left young Zafar and Bajjo all alone. This was a huge grief but it’s really nice to see that Bajjo and Zafar have handled themselves with much maturity and haven’t overwhelmed themselves with that sad part of life.
This episode focused on Sania and Zafar and their natural yet beautiful chemistry. Imran Aslam and Kiran Chaudhry portray a married couple that was free from the done-to-death marital relationships we see in today’s dramas. In their conversations, I could feel for both Zafar and Sania, whereas in many dramas the viewer might feel for only one of the two spouses. Sania wants Zafar to ask his boss for a promotion and wants him to achieve a higher level in his profession, saying “Tumhe basically aik easy life chahiye“. Zafar replies saying that “Acchi kaasi job hai, I get paid well…toh- what else do you want?” Sania replies: “Status, position, power, more income, SUCCESS”. The last word clearly describes Sania- Success. It’s not that Sania only cares about success nor is she all about a materialistic world. She only wants a stable life for her and her family. On the same side, I feel for Zafar. He has a great position in poster service, the job is compatible with his timings and the pay is decent.
The next scene is really sweet. Zafar comes to Sania’s office as a a surprise and wants to go out somewhere to eat, but Sania refuses as she is really busy with a surgical procedure. However, Zafar doesn’t constantly argue with Sania on why she doesn’t take out time for him but they make a deal that on her day off, Sania will cook for him and see a movie together. I love how they handle the situation instead of constantly fighting because if that was to happen, I would blame Zafar for not understanding that Sania is a doctor and that the profession demands a busy life. But Zafar is sweet and understanding, so – no tension:)
It was really funny when Sania wakes up Zafar for a walk and he’s sleepy to get up for it but when he does, he gets super tired and runs off to a resting area.
We also find out that Sania is pregnant however, is not ready to have a child. Zafar convinces her that together they’ll be able to take care of any future difficulties. They get a really cute baby girl and name her Abeer.
Sania then again asks Zafar: “Does nothing motivate you to achieve something, something big?” Zafar replies : “I have achieved everything; I’m happy with what I have.” It was really sweet when Zafar says : ” I wanted you -you’re with me, I wanted a good job- I have it, nothing else.”
And another delightful episode passes by. Lovely acting by both Imran Aslam and Kiran Chaudhry. The beautiful write-up by Amna Malhi and Maliha Haider and direction by Ali Tahir is highly commendable. Kudos to team Rung and hope it stays beautiful till the end. Do share your comments and I look forward to reading them:)
