This article is a must read for all FK lovers! "Why Fawad Khan is the man of our dreams!" Isn't he now? *_*

Fawad was good but for me, this episode belonged to Khirad. Her screams and cries were simply heart wrenching.

Episode 11, the unarguable turning point of HS, was somehow to me a not so powerful episode as it should have been. Unlike yesterday's episode, which had left me teary eyed and anxious, today's episode failed to strike the right chords.

Farida today was a huge put off. It was her character's pivotal part today, wherein the fake veil of love and care comes down to reveal her conniving self. But somehow the actress (I don't know her name) failed to deliver this transition with much power and effect. Her scenes in the drawing room drama looked forced and OTT, and her confrontation with Khirad back at their house was bleak too. I was expecting a powerhouse revelation, with some impressive expressions and bang on dialogues. But the lines were plain and predictable, the acting itself too thanda for a point as such. 😕

And her saying to prove that the child Khirad is expecting is Asahr's was just lame. DNA tests, anyone?😆

The climax of the episode seemed dragged to me, and sadly resembled one of our Hindi serial scenes, which was the least expected from HS. Mahira was good, yes, but I wanted more than her just banging doors and screeching names.

Khizar came and apologized to Khirad. REALLY NOW?! I mean how stupid is that? You stab someone right in the heart and then say sorry and get away with all your shit? You gotta be kidding me.

But, Mahira was absolutely brilliant in that scene. I loved how she portrayed the utter shock of Khirad at this manipulative and selfish side of the world. For Khirad, who has just seen good in everyone until now, this version comes as an utter shock. And that pure disbelief for the existence of the harsh and cruel was conveyed with so much ease from Mahira, she found a fan in me right there. And the BG song that played as Khizar left was just perfect timing. I absolutely love the OST, and how precisely the lyrics fits the story. Awesome work there. 👏

Another high point for me in the show was Khirad falling on Ashar's feet. That scene touched me, and my heart went out for Khirad. It was her integrity at stake, and she was begging to her better half for some trust, some support, or at least to lend an ear to her version of things.

Fawad too was amazing in the scene. His piercing silence, coupled with arched eyebrows, clenched jaw and that little tear in the corner of the eye- said it all. It was just now that he was recovering from his insecurities and then THIS. I will disagree from people who will say that Ashar should not have walked out, as it is very idealistic for a person to be calm and thoughtful in such a situation. What man won't get all worked up? Moreover when Khizar is admitting that he has an affair with the wife? It was a very natural human reaction, and I think Ashar walking away was also his way to prevent the volcano forming within him from erupting on Khirad, when there is scope that she could be harmless. And so, he goes away for some alone time and curb his anger, because not even in his wildest dreams would he have thought that his OWN mother could be behind all this and would throw out his wife in his absence. And as the precap suggests, he comes back to talk to his wife and listen the truth from her and that proves that he did not blindly believe the world and gave Khirad the benefit of doubt. But then, he was too late I guess.😭

That little scene, Ashar crying in the car. One more high point, which totally got me quivering. Fawad never fails to awe me, and today was no different. Every muscle of his face is just perfectly choreographed. Crying scenes are always a challenge, and he did way more than justice to this one. Kudos! 👏

This scene, where Farida calls Khizar and tells her to take care of Asahr. "Usse ek kharaash bhi naa aaye." Really woman?! You have wounded him all over with this cheap stint of yours! 😡😡

Brilliant performances by Mahira and FK (as expected) but a disappointing delivery by the woman who plays Farida. The script too, in today's episode, could have used some improvisation as the lines, which were until now the USP of HS somehow lacked power today. But the background score stood out, some brilliant music and powerful lyrics. 👏

But all in all, it gets sad and sadder now. I am hoping for some high voltage drama tomorrow, and heart breaking scenes by FK and Mahira. You guys are the heart and soul of the show, keep up the good work. 👏

But well, all that aside. SHIT! 😭
