Habs: Feroze Khan, Ushna Shah (ARY drama) DT#2 "Saiyaan...Jaane Na" - Page 12

I don't know whether it is testament to Habs as a show or whether it is because I am just that obsessed with the drama that at present I am pretty much invested in both Ayesha as well as her sisters. While ep 15 did show what was happening in both Basit's house as well as the Sadiq house, I thought it did a good job of shifting back and forth. From the conversation in the car between Ayesha and Basit, we return to the Sadiq house where chaos is brewing. Btw, it was too funny when Zoya who was arguing with Bobby phupo like there was no tomorrow suddenly made her voice all sweet and emotional while sending that voice message to Amir. Then again we are back at Basit's...and then back at the Sadiq house...so on...

One thing that kind of contrasts the two households is that while there is a lot going on in both, in the Sadiq house it is all out in the open, people shouting at each other for destroying each other's lives, crying, being angry, or whatever. In Basit's house it is all subterranean. The emotions Basit expresses are not the same as what he is feeling. His anger (of a lesser degree) at Ayesha and his anger (infinite, hellish fire) at Sadia are actually masks that hide his actual emotions. I think judging by the promo of ep 16, we shall have Basit talking about his true emotions, his bitterness, his anger.

And that scene of Basit climbing down to the basement and then entering the room...what a beautifully shot scene! Also it was figuratively Basit entering into his deep dark past as well...his inner insecurities and hurtful memories around his birthday...it all comes out in a bang.

This was also the first episode that directly showed that Basit's father was not a perfect man and he has passed on his own bitterness from a broken relationship to Basit as well. We had hints earlier...his many displays of eccentricity but Basit using his father's "teachings" to suddenly attack Ayesha showed that Salman was not perfect and had his own grievances. The thing about Habs though is that you sort of can understand everyone. I mean if you can understand (despite vehemently condemning her) Qudia, then you can understand anybody.

cappacuino5...you were mentioning therapy...I agree 100%. I think it is no one's responsibility to "fix" Basit, least of all Ayesha's. She can support him through difficult moments but at the end of the day he has to work on his issues himself. In the early episodes, when I watched him take those pills, I thought he must be going for therapy. But now I feel he hasn't. His issues regarding relationships are actually so similar to the normalised misogyny we see in society, that perhaps it never occured to either Salman or any of Basit's doctors to suggest therapy to him.

I actually loved the episode. Yes, it was very little of Basit and Ayesha but it was still wonderful progression. Putting some thoughts below:

1. Basit annoyed me within the first 5 mins of the episode. What is this chauvinistic thinking of "aurat ko khush karna namumukin hai". But good news is I do get where he is coming from. He thinks he has done all that he could do to support Ayesha's family, but still she doesn't feel satisfied. So, poor guy is tired😆

2. When he replied "kabhi gaur nahi kia" to Sadia - I couldn't stop laughing. The man was restless without Ayesha at home only a few hours back...and now he says gaur nahi kia🤣

3. Him looking at the empty bed and getting annoyed.....then walking that long corridor just to go to Ayesha and express his annoyance 🤣🤣

Also, I like that Ayesha changed rooms. Technically, he did raise his hand on her. Seems natural that she wants some space from him.

4. Love the Ayesha and Sadia bonding. That woman is really the only ally she has in this huge and empty house. I liked how Sadia repeated to Ayesha twice that Basit misses her. She needs to hear this. Right now, she feels worthless in Basit's life. It is good that Sadia is there to remind her that she is important to him.

5. Even though I am 90% sure that it is Basit's father who was the culprit in their divorce and Sadia was forced to leave Basit away.... but she is a bad mother if she needs a reminder to remember that it is his son's birthday

7. Basit and Ayesha smiling at each other and joking and laughing and holding hands together to cut the cake❤️❤️ loved that small bit of happiness we got to see today😳

8. It was extremely rude and unnecessary for Basit to insult Sadia the way he did. Waise toh he is so conscious of his izzat and image...but now he doesn't mind airing his dirty laundry in the public...

That being said, what a scene!!👏 Both the actors were terrific. You could literally feel Basit's pain and you could also see the anguish in Sadia's eyes. The tension in that room was palpable. Greatly done👍🏼

9. Oh Zoya!!! Is she really so naive to think that aamir is not greedy, it is only his mom! I always thought that zoya is clever and street-smart, but today's episode made me doubt that. She is blind in love, which is actually just an infatuation.

Qudsiya really doesn't know her daughter that well if she thinks she can forcefully marry her off. She is hugely underestimating zoya's stubborn nature here.

10. That scene between Qudsiya and Tabassum the matchmaker... how selfish can a mother be! She doesn't even try to find rishtas for Bano because she is bringing in all the money. My girl is really born with a rotten luck😭

11. Loved seeing Bano's confidence in the office. Oh, how she shut up Jawed🤣

Do you guys think she knew he was talking about Ayesha or she just generally didn't want to hear any gossip?

12. I felt the editing was off after Sadia collapsed in her room. The hospital scenes felt rushed and hurried. One moment, it is 24 hrs observation...then zoya ka rishta....and then she is awake and talking to everyone. Probably the first time the show has messed up in a technical department.

Overall, a solid episode. I did not mind that there were less Ayet scenes together becuase I personally like stories where all supporting characters too have good arcs. And I am interested in seeing Sadia's story. My gut feeling says that she was the innocent party in the divorce. Basit's father was not as good a man as Basit thinks.

Chalo, abhi I will go away. Wishing everyone a good day🤗

You put your finger on Qudsia's pulse here! Seriously that woman is quite something.

Also she literally has faith in no one...she was all sweet on Basit to get him to hire Bano but as soon as Bano joined the office, she was like how much are they paying you? Did you ask? And the icing on the cake...you are not doing them any favours, you work for them and have the right to know your salary amount! I mean like give Bano a break, woman!

And yess I too feel like Sadia is going to go away...not die but go away.

Very self centered and selfish woman. Does not care about anyone. If she does not care for her own daughter forget about basit
talking about figurative or symbolism, basit said he had not cut cake or celebrated his bday after his mom left so after so many years again he was celebrating with his mom. Plus sign, He should see that as bright light but he will not.

anyone else felt that Basit was waiting at the door to the room Ayesha was in, hoping she would notice him, before he ended up knocking to announce his presence? Her being lost in her own thoughts might have made him just that tad bit more miffed.

So true about the editing post-hospitalisation... the cut to Zoya's rishta felt off in the midst of all that. I am guessing the timeline must be like this:

Basit's b'day morning/afternoon is when the matchmaker comes to meet Qudsiya after Bano leaves for work. That is the night Sadia is hospitalised. The very next morning, the matchmaker brings this family to see Zoya. I mean, that is very rushed and even for Qudsiya that is really stretching things.

Also, since I like to get my days of the week in order, Basit's b'day which is also the day Bano joins the company should be a Saturday. Then it leaves the next day free for all that will happen in the next episode since Basit won't have the excuse of going to work.

I am trying to make excuses here but Sadia recovers quicker than the doctors anticipate maybe 🤪and then by next episode she will be discharged and sent home with the advice to rest and relax?

Also so true about Sadia being reminded of Basit's birthday through that reminder! I think in Basit's case, both his parents are at fault. The first thing divorcing parents should take care of is to assure the child that they both love him/her and that the child will remain their priority. The next thing is to not draw the child into their own personal conflict. In Basit's case, neither of them followed this. Basit's father begged to be given custody but it is clear from the way Basit is that while his father spoiled him and raised him in luxury, he spent a lot of time on his own. He had a lonely childhood. His father seems to not have been around much which makes sense since he had the business to run.

As for Sadia, even if she left the country for her love, she should have come to meet Basit regularly. She did not do that. Salman had told her that she could meet him whenever she felt like. But she didn't. From something Basit told Ayesha at the restaurant before their marriage, it seems like she would call him and at first he would just beg her to return. She would make excuses probably, make promises perhaps that she didn't keep. Later when she called he would be angry at her, and instead of trying to see the pain behind the anger, Sadia had just stopped calling. So yes, both of them are at fault in making Basit what he is today.

Also just something about Feroze Khan...in an interview to Fuschia magazine, he shared this story that he had gone to Turkey for some film/drama shooting. He was away from his family for a considerable time. And someone sent him a video of his son refusing to recognise him in a picture. Feroze bought a ticket and immediately returned home to assuage his son and make sure he was not sad for not having his daddy around for such a long time.

Basit here...!!!!! Man! Only five minutes back he was arguing that he did not need a conventional wife who will take care of him... I would like the believe that he tasted the pleasure of having someone look out for him like the way Ayesha did at this moment.

Only now I noticed her reflection in the car window. beautiful shot..

He is fighting himself.. the more he reacts like this, the more he is trying to convince himself that he needs nobody, besides Kareem of course...
