Note- Long post, I am in a mood to write, please bear with me and read till the end. It should be an interesting read.
Truth is stranger than fiction, that is because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities, Truth Isn't.
Mark Twain
I was in a dilemma today whether to keep the post limited to truth or limit it to lies. Then keeping the episode in mind and the underlying meaning of the episode, I chose True Lies...
If you remember clearly, True Lies is a James Cameron action film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The character he plays, leads a double life, true lies to be precise. While his actual work is something else, he is something else for his family and friends.
Why I have brought up the film here is because most of the characters in the show are actually living a true lie. Whether it is Dilshaad, Rashid, Shireen, Asad, Zoya, Najma, Humaira and others, all have a life they are living and the other which they long to lead.
Caught in a web created on their own, their deeds will soon come to haunt them.
A lie can travel halfway around the world, while truth is putting on its shoes.
Charles Spurgeon
While at one place Zoya is heading towards the revelation of her not so long past and is weaving true lies about Asad, Humaira is already entangled in a deed of deceit.
Rashid who seems to be living true lies in actual sense, is distancing himself from his loved ones and Shireen is being awakened to reality, where she is realizing the true lies, she has lived all her life. Razia, who is trying to weave a web of true lies for Nikhat and Haseena, her own daughter's plight will bring her back to reality.
Dilshaad who is only putting up a farce of a happy life for her children is already aware of the storm that might hit their calm lives. Asad, the in control businessman, who seems to know it all, especially about people around him, is gonna come face to face with true lies, from his beloved ones and from someone who he thinks doesn't affect him.
Will the truth triumph over the lies? Will the truthful person emerge as the winner and be able to prove his/her innocence? Or will lies and liars be able to over shadow the truth, atleast for the time being.
A lie told often enough becomes the truth.
