Humsafar-dhoop chaun ka alaam raha..

Just as the lyrics of this beautiful OST,I feel HS has its own share of dhoop and chaun.

Man! Good to find SOMEONE here who hasnt already seen HS a million times already. I feel so out of place. 🤔
Anyways here is my brief take from another thread:
The first episode Fawad seemed more like a side character. But after that its been only been a Fawad show. He dominates even if he isnt in the scene...the show revolves so much around him. I found the first 4 episodes gripping with good direction. The romance part has been a bit boring for me. I personally prefer more conversational chemistry rather than eyelocks variety. Mahira was fine as an actress in episode one. After that she hasnt done much. I see only effort from Fawad's side. Fawad I feel is good...but I am kinda spoiled by his performance in ZGH and even Khoobsurat which I felt were much more nuanced and polished. So far watching the show strictly as a Fawad fan rather than its merits.

Adding more: Fawad looks yummy as always. But I feel he looked his best in ZGH. Here the styling is a bit amateurish. Fawad looks really thin and most of the time his clothes look 2 sizes bigger. ZGH his styling was perfect and ofcourse Khoobsurat.

Even I wrote a similar thing in what didn't work for me.😆
But yes the romantic scenes have some kind of charm in them.They are very subtle and different from what we have seen till now.In the pre-leap phase only this was what could hold me on because Sara's scenes had become a bit monotonous and boring for me by then.
But it was able to grip me only after post leap and u'll know why after watching it.

Mahira was way better in the post separation phase.
And same here,the 'khuddari' thing reminded me of Kashaf-ZGH's hangover.😆

I found Mahira good in the first episode too. And initially the "khudaari" in her reminded me of Kashaf. But the way things were handled later on,khuaari gayi bhaad mein,abla naari zindabad But im glad Khirad finally voiced her opinion and spoke about it with Baseerat,which Asher over-heard.

Which brings a questionif Asher had not heard this conversation,do u think he would have as much tried to understand Khirad and work on his marriage?

P.s : I forgot to mention about the styling 😆 I agree. Especially with the suites,I just go err...Looks way better while at home though in t-shirts. Also I think its bcoz HS aired in 2010 ish,a bit old in comparison to ZGH

Asher is really a sweetheart. Even before he overhears that conversation he tells Sara that just like him even Khirad has been pushed into the marriage. His irritation is less with Khirad's background or circumstances of their marriage and more to do with Khirad's lack of response to his efforts. Any person would get annoyed in his place. To make a marriage work effort has to be from both sides. But Khirad is like 'Oh he thinks I am not good enough for him and has been forced to marry me so let me be a statue around him'. As if that will improve the situation.
If Asher wouldnt have overheard I think the situation wouldnt have improved. Atleast when he heard her views some of his misconceptions about Khirad(which she herself created btw) would have remained till she voiced her opinions.

PS: Fawad trousers are very loose. Its as if he is wearing someone else's clothes. 😆

I think instead of a forced marriage I would have preferred if Khirad stayed with Basheerat's family as his niece and then Asher and she fell in love and got married. They could have had a story very similar to the current one without the forced marriage bit.

@bold : Let me just laugh on this first 🤣 In that swimming pool scene at night when he finds Khirad crying,those grey tracks he wore would have fit Khali 😆

Hmm,I see your point there about Khirad's lack of response. Which btw,was a result of herself over-hearing asher's conversation with his friend prior to their marriage 😆

I think Asher deserves credit for taking the first step towards working on the marriage,but I absolutely did not like him discussing his marital problems with Sarah. Best friend or whatever,the girl attempted suicide because she couldnt have you,common sense,man. That being said,if it was purely on a platonic friendship kind of a way,it was okay I guess.

Whenever they show his backside its very distracting...and its not the gande khyal wale distracting. 😆But I have to say he looked so delicious in the second episode when he goes to Sara's house. I wanted to eat him there. And that white pathani. Hai! Hai!
Ok coming back...yes that was a result of she overhearing Asher. Though I wish she would have still gone in there and spoken to him esp when she knew that even he didnt want it. If both would have objected it would have added weight.
Asher is too much of a golden hearted guy I guess. He takes Sara at face value which he obviously shouldnt. He had to say it to someone I suppose and he was telling his best friend.
