Hello everyone,

I have been following this show since the beginning and I justwanted to share my thoughts on all the mysteries in this show. Please be warnedthat this is a long post, and it’s been a while since I wrote anything, so pleaseforgive if it feels disjoint.

The curious case of Junaid Khan

Like most, even I believe that Junaid was not a villain.I feel he was the very first victim in this story. One thing I have been curiousabout since the start of the story is that how does one make the decision tofind a Jinn and make a deal with him. Because firstly, the idea to contact aJinn doesn’t come up in our daily conversations and that is not a normalsolution that a normal human being comes up with. Secondly, even if you come upwith a decision as such the location of a Jinn’s abode is not common knowledge.

So, I think that going to the Jinn for power and money was notJunaid’s idea, it was Parveen (who being a Jinn was aware of all the details ofthe Jinn world), she might have brainwashed him and manipulated him into goingto the Jinn.

Or another reason is that they are Nawabs for a reason.There might be something special about their ancestry, like maybe an ancestorhad made a deal with the Jinn and that is one story that has been told to theyounger generation and thus Junaid is aware of it. And plus, I believe thatthere is a reason why Parveen chose Junaid to be her husband and moreimportantly the father of her children. There might be something in theirbloodline that makes them special over other humans. I feel that is going to comeinto play later. And that is why Parveen wanted to kill both her sons and taketheir hearts as it would add to her power(or I could be wrong here, and the powerthat Aman and Kabir possess is from Kaala Jinn, and not their bloodline.)

Junaid might have been a mere puppet in Parveen’s hands, and shemight be behind the butchering of his character and his exile. Maybe all the bad that Junaid is said to havecaused was done by Parveen. Parveen might have killed Roshini’s parents and Junaidmight have ended up saving Roshini. He might have put her in that boat tosave her.

But why did Junaid leave his family for Rubina? Was it becausehe found out the truth of Parveen? If he left because of Parveen’s truth, washe so heartless and spineless to abandon his whole family to a Jinn? Or onceher two sons were born, Junaid had become useless to Parveen and like how Kabirhad erased Roshini’s memory maybe Parveen might have erased Junaid’s memory andmade him believe that he had no family which led to him leaving and ending upwith Tabeezi. So, maybe he was never a liar too. He was being honest to Rubina.

The legitimate heir to Junaid

During the Aman-Adah marriage track when Aman marries the RakhJinn, it was mentioned that that marriage is not valid as a Jinn and a humancannot marry, that means Parveen and Junaid’s marriage was also not valid. If thatis the case, then the legitimate heir to Junaid is Farah. It was like Jon Snow-Joffrey Baratheon situation in A Game of Thrones where Jon was not allowed to train withJoffrey because illegitimate sons are not allowed to train with the royalty. Like that,when Aman was berating Roshini and Tabeezi. Roshini for not being a goodmother(nachnewali)’s daughter, and not belonging to a good family and Tabeezifor being in an illegal relation, when in reality it was Aman himself and hismother who were what he accused others of.

The hierarchy of the Jinn and the misconceptions

There seems to be a hierarchy to the Jinnad with theBadhshah/Mallika of the Jinnad being the topmost. Then Kala Jinn coming next,then Sifriti Jinn, then another unnamed type of Jinn that being Kabirand then Rakh Jinn.

I feel that there seems to be a lot of misconception regardingthe family’s understanding of the Jinns. And I feel it was all Parveen’smanipulations. Though Dadi seems to be the one narrating the past to Aman andhis siblings, we as viewers are not aware whether she is speaking from firsthandknowledge or secondhand knowledge. For example, was she there when Junaiddecided to go to the Jinn or was Parveen the one who told her regarding it? If itwas Parveen, then it is safe to assume that what Dadi knows is not the truth. Hence,I believe Dadi is not a reliable narrator. So far, the only reliablenarrator in this story are the statues outside Junaid Manzil. Though they withholdinformation like Parveen being Sifriti Jinn, what they say is the truth. And ifI am not mistaken, they always mentioned Kabir as a Jinn and not Sifriti Jinn,(I could be wrong and if that is the case then the statues are also notreliable narrators).

So, maybe the Jinn, Junaid went to was Kaala Jinn but Parveentold the family that they went to Sifriti Jinn. Sifriti Jinn being the selfishand narcissistic type, Parveen was marveling on the fear that the mere mention ofher name brought on the family.

So, when Kabir appeared to kill Aman, the family automaticallyassumed it was the Sifriti Jinn and Parveen couldn't say anything withoutexposing her truth. Hence when the Raakh Jinn attacked her, she had to act asif she was dying and maybe the marks that appeared on her body was her doing inorder to hide her truth. And when Roshini helped cure her, Roshini being Ayaanaoverpowered Parveen’s control over her own body and Parveen was cured that day.

When Kabir was exposed as a Jinn, the family assumed he is theSifriti Jinn. And once, Aman defeated Kabir and they realized that another Jinnis there after them, they assumed it is Kaala Jinn thinking they defeated theSifriti Jinn.

It’s so strange that Aman and his family, seems tobe fighting one type of Jinn assuming it is another type through out the story withthe exception of Rakh Jinn, and that is only because she kept screaming that sheis a Raakh Jinn.

Why are Aman and Kabir so powerful?

How did Aman and Kabir come to posses so much power? Was itbecause they were a Sifriti Jinn’s children? If that was the case, then Aman’ssisters should also have these kinds of powers that their brothers possess. So,their power is not from Parveen.

There was a flashback where Junaid took Aman to the Kaala Jinn,it was said that Kaala Jinn’s shadow fell on Aman and that gave him the power. Whatif, Kaala Jinn never took Aman because he knew that Aman was not the first born,and after that the Kaala Jinn had found and claimed Kabir and turned him to aJinn?

Is Kabir dead?

Aman seems to be under the impression that Kabir escaped and thathe is alive while Parveen is dead sure that Kabir is dead, but she is happy thatthe family isn’t aware of it. So, whether Kabir is dead or not, we are definitelynot done with Arhaan Behl, Parveen one of these days is definitely going totake his form.

Will Kaala Jinn make an entry?

If Kabir became a Jinn because the Kaala Jinn had claimed him,then there seems to be no reason for him to want to claim Aman, because Aman isnot owed to the Kaala Jinn, and Junaid’s promise was kept. Maybe that is thereason that he never came after Aman all these years.

There could be two reasons Kaala Jinn could come now.

First is the obvious, to be the Badhshah of the Jinnad. If thatis the case, then he would be coming after Aman defeats Parveen.

Second could be to avenge Kabir if Kabir is dead. Kabir belongedto (or was claimed by) Kaala Jinn. And Parveen killed him. So, maybe the KaalaJinn will come after Parveen and her family to avenge Kabir or to now claim thesecond son, Aman.

Will Junaid come back?

I feel Junaid will definitely come back and the main reasoningis that, Junaid is played by Sushant Singh. The PH will definitely not cast himfor just 3 scenes. Either he will come back as a positive character to clearhis name and expose Parveen, or as a negative character with the weirdest andmost illogical twist of all, he will return as the Kaala Jinn.

Sorry for the long ramble… just had to put it out there. Wouldlove to read all your thoughts on it.
