Today’s episode of Yahan Pyar Nahi Hai was a continuation of episode 3. Sabhi is still angry about Shumaila’s proposal to the “lafanga munda.” Saim is still dwelling on about losing Zunhairah and thinking 24/7 about how he married a jahil aurat, oh and the never ending taunts to Haleema . Saim’s mother is constantly talking to herself and suspecting that Zunhairah is trying to cast issues between Saim and Haleema’s marriage (as if their marriage was not already on rocks). Zunhairah has become a marriage councilor between Saim and Haleema. Shumaila continues to win the award for being the dumbest female character of year. Finally, we see a very assertive, loud and purposeful side to Haleema when she confronts the “lafanga munda’s” mom (sorry Its been 4 episodes but I still feel like I have not been able to catch onto the boys name)
I think I already discussed the pros and cons and negative aspects of the story enough to make someone’s ears bleed. Before, I began to watch today’s episode, I reminded myself why on the earth did I wanted in the first place to watch the drama. It was mostly because from the promos it looked like Haleema will take a stand finally to Saim’s emotional abuse and also that Faiza Ifthikhar has more rounded off sensible endings (e.g. Mohabbat Roth Jaye Tou etc). This drama hopefully provides a platform to give a positive and strong message to those women who find themselves stuck in similar situations and maybe a more positive solution (YES hopefully better then Mere Qatil Mere Dildar)
My favorite scene today had to be when Haleema intelligently wards of the rishta lady. Today was the first time we are shown a very assertive more forceful side of Haleema, so different from the one that has been revealed to us so far. I wonder why Haleema never unveils herself and her true potential to Saim and agrees to be a silent victim of his abuse. If there is a back story to that, i think this could have been a perfect time to introduce this background information.
On a happier note I am really glad and excited that the real drama is now about to begin and now as a viewer, I am provided with ample opportunity to guess what happens next, instead of the story going off toward a completely predictable tangent. From the looks of the promos and from what I can assess, Zunairah will completely refuse any of Saim’s advances towards her and this will open up Shumailas entry into Saim’s life. What exactly does Shumaila do that Saim is gravitated towards her (even though he clearly states that he detests Haleema’s family).
