Fawadians CC #2 (Strictly I/O) - Page 33

Guys, I was planning to introduce Fawad to my mom. She's already watched his work on the big screen with Kapoor and Sons (she rarely watches movies, but I dragged her to the theatre to watch it because it was her kind of film), and she liked it. Back then I was still in the evolving phase of becoming a Fawad fan so I didn't fangirl before her or anything, but I certainly remember her liking his performance/role the most, despite being orthodox and conservative and still not openly embracing the LGBT community (She was a homophobe before, and I tried and converted her, but she's not fully changed her mind, although she was a lot more anti-homosexuals, but she's become more neutral towards them lately). Anyhow, I am drifting away from the topic.. I was just trying to say above that her liking his performance the most despite her reservations about the character's sexuality speaks volumes about FK and is a testament to his talent and charm and good looks.

So back to my original question: I want to introduce her to Fawad, and she's not really the typical TV serial watching Indian woman..she's a South Indian who grew up watching 70s and 80s Bollywood, is a working woman, and enjoys good cinema once in a while. I was thinking I should start with either ZGH or Humsafar first. Have anyone of you shown any of Fawad's shows to your parents? How did they react? Any tips or suggestions are welcome!

@ponymo - my parents recently saw ZGH and loved it. They are watching Humsafar now and liking it.

My mom loved both. She saw HS first and then ZGH.

@ponymo my mom and dad loved zgh. i don't think they liked humsafar. they also watched dastaan and behadd.

@ponymo

Jamal as a character was very rare and bold too. He was a combustion of both maturity and vulnerability. His final confrontation with Maaha, the calmness in his voice and forgiveness in his eyes, a very few actors can emote through eyes that way.

Mom and I saw ZGH first then Humsafar...both shows as a weekend marathon😆
