Mahira has a kid right? And is she married to an actor?

She has a 5 yr old son, her husband was a producer or something, but they're separated now.

That was a wonderful review indeed and I love how it is so critical of Khizar as he is just the fly in my tea.

Yes trying to post them episode by episode 😊 The original people who reviewed HS were overly critical. Many of them were stuck on seeing Sanam Baloch as Khirad to give a fair chance to liking Mahira. Not saying Mahira was brilliant or anything, but hse wasn't as bad as she was criticized to be. Sadaf's reviews are great, and the comments by the same bunch, whether its Roh, shahzch, indepgal, mona, they're always great to read. They discuss Humsafar in so much detail, it gave me a new perspective to the dramas as well.

Sana , here i agree with you , I liked reading Sadaf,s take . She must have written when Humsafar was playing in the country . Here we have already seen the shwo onYou tube . But reading her comments take you inside the mind of Asher and put light on the characters . Mahira i found to be some raw initially but then she picked up and doing good job with her chacter , she looks the part with her quietness , innocence so can not read the people . She was uncomfortable while looking at Asher when Khizar was going on his record about her in the uni. She felt something was bothering Asher . But it never strike her that it was Khizar . Age difference is only 8-9 years but it becomes much as Asher is mature person , does not speak much . Khirad is young , so here its insecurity Asher is feeling . He is deeply in love with her . He became more insecure after rain scene . He should be talking to Khirad about Khizar and he had shown his displeasure about this Khizar quite apparently . I was quite emotional when was writing the special moments between the two just thinking about the future . Sadaf just cleared mine so many doubts . Thanks Sana . I have read Neeraja unni ,s comments also but loved Sadaf ,s as goes in depth .

Payal,here for you.

Lol,you know. Im not much of a fan for just romance,without some dark influence(numm for example) or a good moral(zgh for example),but nevertheless I like watching Humsafar just for the romance. Its shocking 😆 I sound like a hopeless romantic,which Im not 😆 But AK scenes are very very,well done. Sarmad is some great director,man.

And yes I havent said anything about Mahira have I? I had seen Shehr-E-Zaat first,so Khirad is quite opposite to what I had seen there. I think the role here suits her. She has that fragile kind of aura. So yeah. Cant say much about the acting,since its restricted to romance right now. So in case of eye locks and blushes,full points.

I saw some glimpses of a scene which will be later in the show I guess,she is standing in front of a cupboard and crying. That scene looks quite good,and challenging for an actor. Let me see whats in store for me in future.

Btw who handled the camera in HS? The guy deserves a special mention. EVery little expression has been captured so well.

Mahira is pretty btw. But she has big lips na? Its not a bad thing,but thats the first thing I noticed about her face. Angelina Jolie to has big lips and people adore them,dont they?Mahira has a round face too,and teh combination of the lips and the round face makes her body's frame look a bit bigger than it actually is,in real,she has a smaller frame.

She has a really pretty face. And she looks good with FK onscreen. what colour are her eyes btw?

Oh and yes,yesterday's precap. I see some arched eyebrows and angry looks from Asher. Wohooo,was so eagerly waiting. Hahaha.

Yaar,its my dil se ichcha to see him in a negative role. He'd be so good. Please let the MJ news be true.

When i at last first saw Humsafar , not much impressed by hr initially but she took the cake when she was separated and with Betule Khala . She just was fit for Khirad,s role for her serene , calm and fragile look . . She looked naive and later on woman standing with pride . Her being quite goes in her favor and when Asher is talking to her she just gaze in to his eyes with her smiling face which shows her happiness . . And describing FK in the scenes where he is angry , irritated , jealous , he is unbeatable and specially the last scene ,his side face expressions in the dark . Well directed scenes and Mirror ones also something special . Mahira as Khirad grows on you later on .

Rain sequence ofcoz is a beauty and definitely the best rain sequence Ive seen sofar...there is so much subtlety at the same time some serious passion, when asher looks on and stares at his khirad ❤️ Love the bg playing in it! adds a lot of intensity to the scene😳

Your so on point with how one understands her acting when the whole show is done, you see all the shades to her character and I believe she did justice to them, especially if I were to compare it to the novel. If I were to assess an overall performance I personally prefer Khirad to Falak for Mahira.

And yes, loving Mahira in Sadqay. it's her first show in years, and with a new director. She's made Shano so likeable and endearing.

Episode 10 is my guilty pressure btw 😆 I love Fawad's portrayal as the cold Asher..

FARHAT ISHTIAQ answers readers Questions on HUMSAFAR

Posted by Sadaf..

Q: Khirad has a silent strength about her that is an inspiration for any woman. Was her character based on any real person from your life? -Neeru

A: Khirad's silent strength was a trait I have seen in my mother. Her big ego and pride were things I have seen in some of my close relations

Q: Humsafar has a happy ending, which we ardent fans are very thankful for but when you were writing the story, did you think of an alternate ending? If yes, why did you choose the one we have all seen? -Neeru

A: When I was writing the novel, it was never ever a question for me that Humsafar could have a sad ending. Asher and Khirad loved each other. There were only misunderstandings, anger and hurt feelings from both sides. Jab ghalat fehmian durr hoin tu unn donon ko mill hi jana tha.

Q: The nuances in Ashar's character were subtle compared to the other characters in Humsafar. Was it deliberate or he just happened to get overshadowed by strong female characters including his mother? -Neeru

A: Asher was a good human being but sadly he was a weak person. Fawad's fans will be angry with my answer but Asher was not a strong man. He was easily manipulated by a few ladies. HS was basically Khirad's story. Asher is not one of my favourite heroes (amongst my own created heroes)

Q: Were Farida's manipulations aimed at getting Asher to marry Sara or was it simply to just be rid of Khirad because she could not share her son with anyone? We ask because Farida never seemed to push Asher to marry Sara very much or was that just pushed to one side in the serial. - Nargis Rasheed

A: Farida just wanted to get rid of Khirad. She used Sara. She was an arrogant and selfish person and she never wanted Asher to marry Sara.

Q: Farida is depicted as a very conniving woman. How can it be possible that her own sibling was not aware of this trait? Were Zarina and Sara, two highly educated ladies, that gullible that they could not see past Farida's false promises? - Nargis Rasheed

A: Zareena knew her sister's negative and selfish nature magar wo beti ki mohabbat aur zidd kay aage majboor ho gai theen.

Q: What scenes would you have included from the novel in the drama if you could and apparently so I have heard that Sarmad added the last rain scene later. For me personally that gave closure to the Ashar and Khirad had we left it where the novel leaves it I think I would always wondered if Khirad had been able to move on. - shazch

A: I don't want to change anything in the novel.

To correct the record let me tell last scene was included on Momina's khawahish. Day before last episode went on air, I got an emergency call from Momina, " Farhat, write a new and romantic kind of scene to end HS on a romantic note. It should have rain and romance". Original last scene was a gardening scene with Asher, Khirad and Hareem. It didn't have romance.

Q: Did you like the last rain scene in the drama? - Sadaf

A: Yes, I loved that new scene. As a viewer I would also want romantic closing of a romantic story. Am happy Momina nai ye add karwaya.

Q: Was the first rain scene which is so romantic with the black dress a part of your script? - Sadaf

A: Yes that first rain scene was mine. I wrote it

Q: What scenes would you have included from the novel in the drama if you could and apparently so I have heard that Sarmad added the last? Also are there any scenes you would have input from the drama to the novel if you could go back and rewrite it. -shazch

A: There are some scenes which I wrote and they were shot but not shown like Asher - Hareem gardening scene and Asher applying nail polish on Hareem's nails. They were cute scenes.

Q: When Khirad gets chocolate ice cream instead of strawberry at coffee shop was it a part of the story? - Roh

A: It was a continuity mistake :-) Didn't know log uss ko bhi discuss karen gai :-)

Q: Why did Ashar smile at Khirad that night when he was looking at her? Was he already changing his mind about how he perceived her presence in his life? What was she writing? - Roh

A: Which night? I don't understand which night you are talking about. In the beginning of their marriage, when Asher had a change of heart for Khirad she was still reluctant to open herself to him. She remained reserved. Usually to avoid Asher, she wrote dairy or sometimes letters to Batool Khala

Q: Why did Khirad agree to have breakfast with Ashar that morning, but refused the nuts he offered to her a few days ago while watching TV? Did she also have a change of heart and decided to listen to Batool Khala and Afsheen's advise of giving the marriage sometime?-Roh

A: Was that breakfast scene after that pool side (night) scene? I remember breakfast scene baad main hota hai. Asher showed his concern for Khirad with his behaviour that night. She sensed his changed attitude and was ready to have breakfast with him. Slowly Khirad ko samajh araha tha kay ye banda itna proud and arrogant bhi nahi jitna lagta hai. Ye Batool khala ya Afsheen kay samjhane ki reason sai nahi hua tha. It was a slow and natural process. They both were falling in love.

Q: In the last scene of reconciliation between Asher and Khirad (after the confrontation with Farida) they both look out as it begins to rain and smile ...I can guess but please I want to know why? - Sadaf

A: Ye viewers ko khush krne kay liye likha gaya scene tha :-)

Q: Is Asher's character based on anyone or is it one of those composite characters writers create sometimes?-Sadaf

A: Asher wesa tha jese ziada tarr humare eastern mard hote hain. Gherat aur ana kay masle boht hain magar sochna kamm kamm hai. Some of his personality traits were taken from different people (males) around me. Remaining were my own observation of man.

Reporters : ROH and Sadaf

Thanks To Neeru ,Shaz CH ,ROH and Nargis Rashid for their questions :)

@neerja thnx for posting the question n ans session. Well despite being FK fan I m not at all upset/angry after knowing that Asher was a weak man 😆 becoz I m more of FK fan than his character's fan. I m happy that it was made clear that Asher was a gud human being so what happened with Asher was very natural as gud human being often become victim of circumstances.
