With the end near and the BI journey coming to an end tonight, I just had to make post penning my thoughts about this show. Last year when promos first started airing for Beintehaa, I will admit my interest was peaked but it wasn't really a show I was anxious to see. Fast forward a couple months later and seeing my FB newsfeed filled with posts praising this show, I decided to give it a watch and in an instant I was hooked! A show which started off as your typical run of the mill hate love story turned into so much more than that with Aaliya and Zain proving they are far from being your typical main leads.
Zain was not your typical male lead who had a dark past, it was just the opposite with him being carefree, spoiled, mischeievious. Then you had Aaliya who from the start was traditional yet modern and daring. Zain and Aaliya were never perfect, both were flawed but together they were perfection!!
There are so many things that stand out about this pairing from their smoking hot chemistry to their realistic portrayals of their characters. Its difficult to pinpoint what I will miss most but one thing is for sure Zain and Aaliya will not be forgotten anytime soon.
BI was not perfect by any means, it had its flaws but for a new PH and with newcomers as its leads I would say they managed to leave an impression that even veteran PH failed to do. When I look back at these 11 months and look at what BI has given me as a viewer, I am left amazed. This PH managed to do the impossible by getting me to love a divorce and redemption track. It was refreshing to see a show which did not make a mockery of the love the main leads share, instead I saw a love that grew stronger with time and while the HN was hated by all of us, it did make ZaYa stronger in the end and gave us some of the most powerful performances by Harshad and Preetika.
Another thing I would like to add is the writing for the supporting cast, who can forget our beloved Usman? A character who was so loved that fans did not want him to be killed off. Who can forget Suraiya? A character who was negative but later turned positive and became the best MIL one could have, I am so glad we got to see her and Aaliya bond before the show came to an end. Bilal and Zaro, two characters who were negative yet had moments where they brought smiles to the faces of viewers with their epic comic timing. Fahad, Shazia and Nafeesa, this trio were different but at times intriguing to watch. Basically what I am trying to say is every character on this show was well layered, none were really one dimensional which made the show all the more appealing to me as a viewer.
Its been an amazing journey and while it did come to an end a month earlier than I expected there is much left to be cherished and I have no regrets about watching this show. I can truly say BI was different, unique and will be missed. Hats off to this PH for proving their show was more than a filler for the channel, no one could have ever predicted the waves BI would have created or the fact Harshad and Preetika would take the TV world by storm. They've managed to prove me wrong and made me one of their biggest fans with their talent and down to earth personalities. I wish this cast and crew nothing but the best and want to say thank you for one of the best shows I've ever watched
