So here are my quick thoughts… I am sure I will spend my Sunday watching the episode yet again..
With respect to the love triangle…I looked at it not from Aliya’s angle but from the guys angle. I love love how the writer is trying to show insecure men ..we want ourselves to be sure and strong when we fall in love. But the fact is there is a part of us that becomes unsure and insecure. Nothing is more evident than the two guys in our show. They are insecure.
Of course Salman has a leg up, there is a no doubt…it’s because he has been around, been there for everyone. He gets her because he gets everyone she loves..in a deep and meaningful way. His relationship with her parents, his sister all of it shows that. He isn’t a guy who will just wipe old crockery but will wipe everyone’s tears too.
For our rich dashing Asvar…no one can deny that the chemistry was crackling between these actors. The scene in the office with him at the doorway teasing her was a treat to watch. Romantic scenes with subtle dialogues, soft banter and excellently acted out are such a treat to watch. But our Asvar falls and then does everything to get the girl. He wants her so he will buy crockery for everyone she loves. But he can’t “get” them.
There is no right or wrong choice for Aliya. It finally comes down to what she holds important. Both the guys represent different things, none of them Mr.right or Mr. Right now, and yet, both of them imperfect.
coming to none right or wrong…what a line between Samiya and Shagufta
Ladkiyan jinke zameer nahi hotey
Ladkiyan jo jaante bujte kuvvei mei kood jaatey hai
Here again, it’s not about right or wrong. But about choices. At the time of marriage, Samiya believed she didn’t have a choice so she jumped in. We as viewers want to hit our heads and say of course she did…but that’s the thing about choice….we must believe we have them. Her mother never made her feel she had one. For some women, they jump because they have no choice and some jump because that’s their choice. None of them right or wrong…and yet both of them imperfect.
I can go on and on…but will stop here! will watch again tomorrow.
PS unable to tag more people….😭
