SPM ~My Musings 5.8.19~ Life swapping ,,,
The episode is quite an example of practising the art of deception. An example of fooling all the people by sheer trickery and use of ruse. The sheer luck of being look alike biological twins is used as a logical tool to substitute each other’s very destinies.
The ploy is to mislead the enemy by manipulating and playing with their emotions. The hooded man is sent to further scatter and confuse the Shah family already out of their wits about their missing daughters! The hooded man only leads to chase, and not to be found. I think the hooded man is Sabina disguised as a man. No surprise this figure also keeps an eye on the injured sisters at the hospital. ensures which one survives unscathed and which one struggles to stay alive.
Distortion and falsifying evidence already becomes underway, when Saltanat emerges alive and Kainat ends up barely alive. The enemy is given that which it wants to see, that the virtuous Saltanat is alive, while the suicidal Kainat lies in a critical condition. The deception falls easily into place, inducing the enemy to react in a manner, that is prejudicial to the enemy’s interest! All are trickedi nto believing that Saltanat survived the fall from the terrace for she fell on soft ground, while Kainat fell to her impending doom!
The truth was otherwise.. vice uses guile to hoodwink the whole family. Distorting evidence to such a degree , that the duped Kainat even speaks like the compassionate Saltanat , when she narrates some unpleasant facts about Kainat , her obsession with suicide. Saltanat is shown on high moral ground, when she narrates that her attempt was her desperate bid to save Kainat from plunging to her death!
Where one hand, misleads all by giving incriminating evidence like the letter, to confirm facts about Kainat’s repeated disturbed suicidal tendencies. It’s no accident that it’s Zaroon who finds Kainat’s screwed up confessional suicidal letter in her hand! such intended trickery..
But Kainat even on her so to speak death bed, knows whose conscience to weigh down before the whole family. Zaroon falls in his own eyes morally, as he feels the blame off pushing Kainat over the brink of life! Zaroon feels the brunt of guilt, while Kainat gets, the family’s concern.
Yet to be flawless at subterfuge, one has to play the role to perfection! Breathe and act as the one whose destiny one is out to snatch! While Neelam wants Saltanat to spill the beans about the wicked Kainat rightfully attempting suicide to atone for sleeping with her sisters husband! Instead Saltanat shields and covers up for her dying twin! Just the way the imposter wants! Mainjaan over-hears.. Will he take it upon himself to defend the truth?? and if he does? will he too be duped between what is and what seems??
Kainat’s fakery is nearly caught when Rubina asks her to give blood to save her sister! Saltanat agrees reluctantly,but she makes her veins go into convulsions! Making it impossible to draw blood from her to save the twin with whom she has just swapped her life ,her very destiny!
But those whose destines are meant to unite, no dissimulation , dissembling and well - crafted deceit can put asunder! Zaroon gives his blood to save the real Saltanat, passed off as the fading away Kainat! his name inscribed on her hand , is the dead give away of what is the truth! and what poses as duplicity and fraud! So another hand tells him, whose evil hand is playing serious tricks!
The three mothers scene is endearing , Rubina and Ghazala want a shocked Zainab to react by perhaps grieving for Kainat whose life is hanging by a frail thread.. can this be prophetic, ominous? that the two girls are each other’s split images! so that if one gets lost the other can compensate for her?? does Zainab actually cry for a truth that she covers up by her wailing? that some sort of deceitful change over has already taken place? She is a mother who knows her Kainat well..only too well!
In the precap, when Saltanat pushes Mainjaan when he vows to expose her falsehood.. could Zaroon have briefed Mainjaan the truth about the imposter and the real person?
I may be the only person on this forum who found the episode interesting to watch and ponder over. Interesting to observe if a substitute person replace the real person? It all depends on the discerning eye of the beholder !Also to see if the heart can sense the difference between falsehood and reality?. 6.8.19 hamlet53
