A seasoned actor like Bushra apa plays a significant part in the drama, but as a viewer, I find her part to be a little unclear. She appears to be a powerful leader of the clan at first, but as the plot develops, she doesn't fight back against the change in power and simply submits to Meerab.
Maa Begum is more than simply a fictional figure; in reality, she represents a powerful system that I experienced throughout my childhood while growing up in rural Sindh. People in such a society seek the opinion of their head or panchayat in daily affairs and believe them to be superior to the law.
If you carefully re-watch the sequence where Maa Begum hands Meerab the keys, you will see that it is not what you are referring to. Her body language tells a different story. As an affectionate mother, she doesn’t want to hurt her son so she gives Meerab keys, but deep inside she knows that her daughter-in-law is too young to handle such a big responsibility of a sole decision maker. As the story progresses you will find the consequences of that power shift.
