Coming to the episodes, I finally got a laptop to type...having issues with my own!!
So I think it is established that every character has seemed to forget that Isra and Shahzaib are grown ups. They are all living in their own stupid bubble and ego.
The only time I have pitied Isra is when she was getting taunted left right and centre for falling in love. It was no scandal, Shahzaib was not an awaara, he belonged to a well-to-do family and was marriage material. The scene that made me cry was when she has a conversation with her father and asks for his forgiveness. I did not understand how could her dad, even at that point, not see there was nothing wrong in what his daughter did.
Isra's sister in law truly needs to f**k off from their lives. Not only is she toxic for Isra, but for her husband and in-laws too. But I gotta say, the way she pretends to be so innocent and manipulates everyone around her is next level.
Shahzaib's mom, brother and his extended family is only bothered about their own pain and they are truly the most selfish people I have ever seen. His mom and brother fail to understand the implications of their actions. Just because Shahzaib has been a wonderful son and brother, does not mean he doesn't have a life of his own. He is his own person and should have the choice to choose his own life partner.
Isra's brother is also coming across as a horrible person. The fact that he said "we shouldn't regret the first time we celebrated your arrival in our house". Damn, if I was Isra and if this was the way my family would have treated me, I would call Shahzaib and get married in a freaking courtroom and live away from all the toxicity from both sides! Because such statements clearly show how much the family members love the girl over their fake pride vs how much the boyfriend truly loves her.
Haaris's mom is the only one who is being able to sense something crazy might happen. And I get a feeling that Haaris and Nimra might team up in future episodes, because they are already showing signs of madness.
I truly fail to understand why Shahzaib is the only one talking sense here. Obviously he wants his family to accept his bride. But how could see just walk away after giving him such a commitment?! The man is willing to fight for you no matter what, he got himself insulted everywhere and just because Isra got to hear some taanas she decided to end it and marry the first creep her parents chose for her?
Does Isra not understand that her decision could affect so many lives? If Shahzaib would not go crazy and both our leads would be married to their respective spouses, that would be FOUR lives living in misery. And then their respective children. Isra can clearly see everyone's pain, but she fails to see the pain she's putting the man she loves through? If there was no commitment, I could not care less, but Shahzaib built a life around the thought of Isra in his life. And with just the blink of an eye, she's walked away like they did not share anything, no love.
If anything, the conversation between Shahzaib and Haaris just showed one loves her while the other wants to acquire her. And of course Haaris was no match for our hero in anyway!
He talks to his mother and she doesn't even listen to him, he talks to his brother who is another selfish fool, he talks to Isra's family and gets insulted, he talks to Haaris who is not gonna back off...and finally when he talks to Isra, she not only breaks up with him but agreed to marry a random creep. Shahzaib is already pushed into a corner and there is literally no reason for him not to snap right now.
His pain and trauma is so visible, but everyone is turning a blind eye to it. Even his phone conversation with Isra, she finds lame arguments for him to back off, but how much time did she give him after the mess happened? Like he said, she was equally eager to marry him and was head over heels, just a minor inconvenience meant to just let go of their plans for the future? He built everything around her, how is he to live his life without the woman who has his heart?
Isra is expecting him to take sane steps...after abandoning him. All Shahzaib needed was for something to hug him and support him...but I guess its too much to ask from people for who he has done everything
I can see the wheels in Shahzaib's brain turn now. Specially the mall scene when he nearly pins her to the wall to talk, and she continues to add fuel to the fire by saying "there is already a third between us and he will be introduced to you as my husband soon". Danish has expressed the madness only from his eyes, you can clearly see the balanced man disappear and a maniac taking his place slowly. Kudos to his performance 👏👏 I will be sticking right till the end only for him!!
And no matter what people say, #TeamShahzaibFTW 👏
