Uff watta power packed episode...just went thru few prev pages and wow discussion galore and loving it. liked everyones take even if i dont agree with some of the opinions its really warm n fuzzy to read appreciation for this show..everyone has covered the epi wonderfully⭐️ I am not good in reviews but wud like to mention few points...
Is it really weird of me that i just love epi 10,11 and 12😕 these epis are brillliant. HS as a show for me never was a love story, though i really enjoyed(for the first time) watching those initial epis of Asher-khirad forming the formidable(not) bond they both fawad-mahira are yumilicious in those epis its always epi 10,11,12,13 that gets to me on a different level and yes no doubt epis 15 onwards this show takes a complete u trun on what was started as a beautiful journey of two people..though the journy remains beautiful till the end but its definition changes...oh the feel this show gives👍🏼
coming back to Epi 11- Fawad was stellar as shell shocked heart broken Asher (which will continue on epi12 and thats unparalleled angst i hav ever seen on TV second only to Hassan turmoil) but the star for me was Mahira- uff khirad really broke my heart and i like when my heart is broken i like when i see pain and i want that to continue😕
two scnes tht were best for me in todays epi- when Khirad as was saying asher that she is his khira who loves him n everyone are lying, the way asher just looks on and brushes her off leaving khirad behind lying on floor, killer scene that was. another one whr khirad was calling out for house helps banging doors windows, trying to open them that was pure agony. today words fall short for Mahira in that scene and its the beginning of new khirad we will be witnessing. tomorrow yet again gut wrenching episode but i say bring it one coz thats takes the pain this agony this heartbreak to another level and tomm (i mean epi12) has one very powerful Fawad as Asher scene along with Khirads agonizing sobs while she was unable to utter words😭
coming to the popular opinion of asher was weak or having trust issues- just my opinion I do not consider Asher as weak person (though he was weaker comparison to Khirad but which men isnt weak compared to counterparts, htr r very few men who are stronger then women).
Even him shutting down communication before leaving to his conference does not come across as his weakness- he was insecure so are the mightiest of people in this world. He being in complete love with his companion felt insecure coz of various reasons- fear of loosing his young wife,constant poaching of khizer in his life made him introspect that maybe his love is not enough to hold/for khirad and that bothered him alot made him feel inferior. I understand his plight and more so coz i do that many times wid my loved ones. Whn i dont like somthing they do i shut myself off and i want them to understand what irritates me without me say that to them. i want them to voice out my concern rather than having a heart to heart. Though sorting things out by talking is best but do we humans always do the best thing. Does that make me a weak person..maybe but i dont see it that way, i call it expecting basics from your loved ones coz when you love someone you understand them, their small needs n wants. Thats what Asher expected from khirad ..though repercussion of his actions was unproportional and i dont think he wanted to do that- that unspoken pain he was going thru made him hurt Khirad more eventhough i believe he never wanted to and the process he himself suffered. That phone convo whr more than khirad he wanted to reassure himself his khirad still loves him, that wasnt ego but that was more like a child wanting to win back something thats dear to him...Painting his behavior to his ego issues is i find not justified for a character like Asher, who as someone said was golden hearted and not real.
And for what happened todays episode, i dont see Asher to be at blame point though the leeway given by asher to those manufactured situations(thats only the extent to which one can blame him) had already dented his relation wid khirad, what hit him today broke him completely. Like Khirad he was unable to take what happened and my heart goes out for both though today more to Khirad but next episode onwards for both equally...
sorry for rambling but i cant read my asher getting blamed for nothing😉 But yeah it was all interesting read. I try to skim thru posts blaming asher though. I hav a huge soft spot for him as a character plus i wud be lying if i dont say coz of the actor who played it to the perfection.
