These lines played today. Can someone translate please? What I could gather is at once their hearts were connected but not anymore. Not sure though. :)
After last week's slightly slower episode, this one seemed a lot more balanced and evenly paced. On a technical level this is one of the better episodes , nicely edited , well-acted and all the elements of the story building up like steadily gathering storm clouds ready to pour out their contents on our unsuspecting heroine. On paper it is almost inconceivable that Asher Hussain: elite class Yale graduate, successful businessman, golden son and all around chosen one could possibly feel insecure. But in reality: as the old saying goes, love makes fools of the best of us. When some men get angry they throw things, the shout or curse but for the higher minded, better educated sorts it seems an icy wall of impenetrable silence and contempt is the modus operandi. Poor Khirad does not know what hit her as the loving husband who dropped her off at the engagement party suddenly begins to ignore her, avoids her company and rebuff her every attempt at connection with.
If only Khirad's mother had been alive or she had a sister they might have told her ignore him and he will get over it. However the point is made very clearly that she is alone in this world, that her only connection is as she pointed out to him in the last episode ,Asher. It takes a day or so for Asher to calm down but it is quite obvious that by the time he leaves for Islamabad despite his cold behavior he has calmed down at least a little. Is it me or does Fawad suddenly have My Mujtaba's haircut? Poor Khirad is so sweet in her attempts to manao Asher ...aap bohat achey lag rahey hai ..yes tell me something else I don't know Is the look on our hero's face. When I first watched this I was so angry at Asher and this time it was even more irritating. Khirad cannot stand next to Khizar who is her classmate but Asher going off on a conference with hot cousin who committed suicide over him is just fine. I also noticed that newly engaged Talha did not seem to mind Khizar and the other male classmates of his wife attending the wedding and teasing him about his bride. I have a feeling Farhat Ishtiaq deliberately juxtaposed the two situations to show this was a shade in Asher's character not Khirad's fault at all.
Overall I found this episode very powerful , very emotional episode bringing me down firmly on Khirad's side. The first time I watched I never expected what happened in episode 11,it came as a complete shock ! What I had thought was Atiqa Odho's bad acting skills: the fake smile the formal but effusive courtesies she showed Khirad had me fooled. I enjoyed Khizar's pleading scene with Sara which seemed like a pathetic echo of the scenes between Khirad and Asher and even Sara and Asher. It guess self-awareness or introspection were not Asher or Sara's strong points. Khizar actually came over as quite sincere in his attraction to Sara and his dislike of Asher, so Noor Hassan deserves some credit there.
Thank you Sana. I will be honest I am watching this with open mind minus my zgh pankha dil I suppose and thus enjoying it better. I never thought I will write this much about humsafar one day when I first watched it. 😆
Oh Fawad pe fangirling is not allowed as I am tired of getting tagged by various terms including questioning my ibtelligence and level of maturity from faceless people. 🤣
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 SadafThanks 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.
