Epi 5 ....................
First let me ask you the meanings of the following: I have got the drift but want to understand the nuances..
1. Aurat ka parza
2. Tarein darakhton pe chamkte hai
3. talak kyon ho rahe ho
4. Baahaya (something to do with grace ....I think as in grace of mind and behaviour?)
5. Mayaar.........didn't understand the word at all.
6. Ibadat (prayers? sanctum? of highest purity?)

The revelation to Sara that her mother was once married to Arfeen came as a shock. Very nicely picturised and the actress did a wonderful job as the shocked, doubtful and little ashamed Sara. Her silent cry to her mther that she shd have revealed something abt her relationship before thrusting the Abbas family on her. Her embarrasment that her mother gave "Uncle" dhokha was apparent in her expressions. (That's what I have liked abt the serial.............quiet when necessary. Had it been an Indian serial there would have been a flood of tears and wails and loud lamenting 🤢)

Mahrush ......... is obviously a girl settled abroad and in love with Arfeen. She is very aggressive and open in her show of love for him. He looks a bit embarassed at that. But she is cut up that he prefers someone else. She wonders what is there in Saba that she herself lacks. She does some staright talking. Cool lady! I like her too.

Arfeen's mother being egged on by his sisters was classically EK and a gimmick for the masses. They are so prejudiced against Saba. Why are his two sisters just sitting at home ? Are they unmarried ? Have they nothing better to do than just spy on Saba and report to Her Majesty? They take objection to the fact that Saba is talking to Adil. The parcel for Saba sent by her husband has really worked against her, hasn't it? They should not have shown his father being so affected because he has sent a letter to his wife. He shd understand more and think like a man rather than the silly women of the house.

Arfeen.............. the tormented man is at a loss everytime he even thinks of Saba and that is practically all the time. But he emotes well ....... (altho his mannerisms smack of Shahrukh Khan ..... but I think SRK is a good actor and so when I make the comparison it is complimentary). That soulful song that is played everytime he reflects adds wonderfully to the pathos.
Do you agree with my points?

I m done now .... fully prepared as it is ....have u read Jane Eyre? and its rewriting by Jean Rhys ... who wrote Wide Sargasso Sea ... it's bertha mason's story .. .the story that was not a part of jane eyre .... i just finished it ... its a beautiful novel.... i hate rochester by the way 😆

kher coming to u .....

parsa .... self-restraint, pure/chaste, virtuous person ....
darakhton ... plural of darakht.... tree
talakh .... harsh
bahayaa .. someone with modesty/ and shame i think hindi lajja is an equivalent of hayaa.... behayaa is shamless
mayaar... benchmark. standard
ibadaat.... prayers .... this term is i think is closest to pooja in hindi ...


yeah i loved that part abt sara finding out ... and u know i enjoyed the pace this far.... and the themes r not any different from an indian soap but i guess the different has come in the treatment ..... and trust me until a couple of years ago this part would ahve been accompanied by alot of loud music and different camera angles and all.... i liked the quiteness of the moment as well.... 😊 poor sara... forced to doubt her own mother.... and i agree with the way she is doubting her mother .... she doesnt know abt the past.... or her father... all she knows is her mother was cut of from her family for years ... any other person in her place would think in the same manner

Arfeen's scenes from here onwards r suppsoed to be set abroad but they ahvent bothered giving them a foreign feel ... and i loved mahrush.... straight forward.... intependent ... she told him her feelings without seeming to be vulnerable .. wow 👏

i think arfeen's father might be thinking like the man that he was.... i doubt it was considered to be so manly to show so much affection for your wife.,... women are not suppsoed to be worth it remember 🤢 🤢 🤢 very very orthodoz thinking 🤢 the scene b/w sisters and mother was my least fav part ... too soap operish in treatment... i guess all of them were put off by saba from the very beginning so they looked at everything from that same prejudiced eye and everything went from bad to worse ... .i wish the scene had been done differently ... i know the kind of mindset they portray still exist .... hell my cousin's big sis still backbites abt her future bhabhi at times because she's not too happy with the choice or whatever.... and she's highly educated.... this narrow-mindedness is real but the scene i guess if the actors who played sisters had acted better than it might have turned out differently ... .those raised eyebrows and sly smiles ...yuck 🤢 on the other hand ... i loved the evil look given by the mother (sameena pirzada) i thought that was menacing rather than exagerrated

lol abt the SRK comparison and its not the first time that such a comparison has been made 😆.... u r right... it is SRKish but we ahd better not let faisal qureishi (Arfeen) hear that 😆 😆 😆 i read somewhere that he was irritated by such comparisons...felt that it was unjust because he is an actor while SRK is a super star 🤣 but i can see the resemblance 😛 but the guy has come a long way... 😊

sorry for being away....................couldn't help it 😭 So u agree there was something SRK-ish abt him? There was...... And now a love angle betw Hyder and Sara? What will happen when she realises that her mother has been wronged? Surely her mausi is going to tell her. But the mausi has to respect the fact that her older sister kept her daughter a secret from all of them. And finally when the truth had to be revealed she chose Arfeen and not Aqsa to look after Sara. Obviously she is very angry with her BIL. And poor Arfeen ........ he has been carrying this huge burden of guilt abt what he p'haps did to Saba. I liked the way Hyder treats Sara. But I thought he was involved with Maya? Or is she just a friend? But all said and done, he's a good son. And if he is older than Sara, whose daughter is Sara? Or did Saba adopt her having lost her child during the ill-treatment she suffered at the hands of the Abbas family? OMG my imagination is running away............. Now I am going to start on epi 8.............
