As to whether Kabir & husna are married - i think its being deliberately left vague. Sometimes he says meri begum sometimes indicates not.

Re: Pakistani Muslim culture - its very variable.

In rural areas in punjab (that i've seen) men & women can be very frank with each other even though in general rural areas are more visibly prone to mistreatment of women.

Urban lower to middle classes tend to be more distant in family situations (i.e. parents & elders around) but otherwise with relatives there can be lots of openess, depends on the families. Say a bunch of cousins going out for icecream, movies whatever. and this is in a society where cousins can and do marry - mostly arranged but often just develops.

The same men & women will be pretty open with class or workmates.

Then there are the upper middles and upper classes some of whom can be very conservative or extremely relaxed about contact with the opposite gender.

As an example Valentines day is extremely popular in every city and town.

eg I had male friends in school and work and we visited each others homes with just the normal sort of constraint on how well you know them and the usual male female dynamics that you do have to be aware of, i.e. lines not to cross. At work you had to be more cautious as some people are more conservative & judgemental, to avoid getting talked about or taken as fast.

For instance my parents wouldnt have allowed me going over to someones home if he lived alone or with friends but that is any south asian parent's normal protectiveness.

In general the depiction in indian films or television of Muslims social mores is about 30-50 years out of date. People do not speak THAT formally. yes they are in general quite polite, except when they want to fight😉 people are people, they laugh & joke and so on. you would be cautious in front of someone you dont know just on a purely normal basis.

Thank you very much for this reply. Helps shake off the images and associations with Muslim culture and puts things in a very normal, everyday perspective.

@bold-1: Now this is something that I don't think has ever been touched upon anywhere. Somehow, this association is never made...not even in shows that are centered around 'modern' Muslim families (unless I am missing something here)! Maybe its more comfortable to stay with the stereotype. You're being generous with the 30-50 year remark. I think they belong to another century. Even some of the Hindu depictions, in my opinion, are totally outdated and overdone, if not completely wrong. That way, HD is different.

@bold-2: Totally loved this one 🤣🤣

Thanks for replying 😊 Wish you would participate more often and not just limit yourself to hitting the 'Like' button 😊

Even I don't think they are marriage, Kabir is hiding something for Husna " Babli isn't Husna daughter " or maybe she isn't his daughter and used her to get close to Husna . Oh man I just want a fresh track with social massage yaar . Enough of this my wife your wife thing man. Let whoever be with whoever and I mean prominently . Same thing again like Zara story . They have no creativity at all , and I wonder why this show isn't more 3+ trp . Stop plz bring the original Indira back as soon as possible . Any way Rati Di love more then anything , but yesterday was my last episode until HD is back to original but with a happy personality " I want Indira + Zara " for now good bye Hitler Didi . I thought this track was going to be interesting but no it about my wife n your wife , my wife your wife forever . Good luck to you all let me know if Indira is back . As of now I quit . I will miss you Angle but its okay I will watch your old shows n old Zara scenes .

You know, very seriously, we should take this show as lightheartedly as possible. There is no point investing emotion. So, please watch the show in a detached manner. Helps loads. 😊

Your post is always nice to read.

But how come rishi does not aware of the Blood that was bleeding after an hour?

I don't know about Rishi being aware, but that scene had a higher purpose na! That Husna should do the bandaging! That's why he let his blood drip for so long 😉

ok. I am just too driven out at the moment so I will only comment on their mushiness.

forget about them being from Pakistan, India me bhi kon aisa karta hai?

As Rishi said in the precap, even I felt that today (I was confused and still am , why did Rishi feel so in the previous episode? ) , Kabir is a bit more stiff on it. Even I got a vibe of 😕" why the hell is he doing that" so many times in the episode today.

@bold: Koi nahin karta. That's what makes it unreal and put on. We'll get to know today about Kabir and Husna's equation.

@sumitbigfan and @hdfan: Thank you 😊

@Alujna: Please feel free to post your views on an epi too!

@ihateyou: Thanks for not hating the post 😃
