I was just thinking that Farah must have come as such a shocking surprise to the Indian audience who are so used to perfect, holier-than-thou type females as leads 😕

Think about it, Farah sets such a bad example for young girls 😆 But then I believe her parents are to be blamed for that too. Unlike Moulvi Sahib's family, they have no real interaction with their daughters except giving them orders and asking them stuff like inquiring Farah about Afzal. In other words, bus kaam ki baatein hi hoti hain. The parents are completely oblivious to their daughter's antics. On top of that surely they must realize how immature Farah is but phir bhi bank accounts bhar diay hain dono larkiyon kay and no check on how they spend the money. No wonder she has turned out the way she has and thinks everyone is below her 😒

Yeah, that's what happens when parents dont give time to their kids and out of guilt, try to fill that void with money. There is obviously no check on where that money goes since they can give it away to someone like Afzal to play a part in their plotting, and arent afraid of anyone finding out, and farah's comments like, "3-4 lakh to mein apnay ooper se waar ke phenk deti hun"..

While Lubna is relatively better, Farah takes the cake. In fact, she actually uses Lubna too. All that, "Meray liye aaj raat jaag nahi sakti?" and "Eik din aur chhutti kar lo university se, mujhe tumhari zarurat hai." And no one stops her. Probably that's why she doesn't care or worry about what effect her plotting is taking on Afzal, or anyone else around her for that matter. Even though Afzal is the main character of the show, farah pretty much controls him. So she herself is very central to whatever happens later. Actually, all these little things that we are finding annoying about her right now lay a foundation for what she will be doing later (i wont give away spoilers yet).

But there is a reason why so much time and script is devoted to these two. KRQ's characterization is perfect here. I remember someone mentioning here earlier that too much time is given to these two. I think it helps. The audience is so frustrated and annoyed with these two that when later Farah does whatever she does people go like, "Haan is se yahi umeed thi" 😆

It will give the viewers a better understanding of why she does the things she does later on, without going, "How can anyone do that?!"

And I think despite everything, she does have a good heart. Because whenever anyone shames her, she does feel bad, and tries to make amends. But she is too stubborn and in a fight between her stubbornness and her good heart, the former wins.
Even though i hate what farah does throughout, i actually find her character to be very fascinating. We dont come across such characters in mainstream dramas/movies very often.

They pretend to be such Miss-Know-It-Alls 😆

KRQ kay zamanay se Humayun Saeed hi hero chala a raha hai na is liay he wrote the play with him in mind 😆 We ALL owe Saba Hameed for sparing us the torture of seeing an uncle play a love struck boy 🤣

Seriously yaar! I mean I like Faisal but he looks old to play a 25 year old boy 😕 They both are irreplaceable. I can't even imagine Fawad playing Afzal Subhanallah nor can I imagine Hamza playing Asher and those two are my favorite actors 😃 Dosro ko consider karna tou door ki baat hai 😉


🤣
I know! I would have given up on Pakistani dramas. 😆

And even though Ashar was supposed to be like 8 years older than Khirad, Afzal was a guy in his 20s. How, just HOW can anyone imagine Humayun in that role?!😲😆

And you're right, Fawad and Hamza themselves arent even interchangeable in those two roles. Perfection should not be messed with.

Mehtab: Is jhoolay pe akelay beth kar dekha hai meinay. Kab se pooch raha hai tera humsafar kahan hai.

Mujh pe waajib hai ke mein jee bhar ke us fiza mein saans leta rahoon jis ke daaman mein aapki khushboo pheli hui hai.


This whole scene was just so funny! 🤣

Mehtab is such a chipkoo drama queen! 😆

mehtaab is a chipkoo but I feel sympathy for him as well Farah such a heartless lady even afzal feel bad for mehtaab but she doesn't care that someone madly in love with her and sorry dear I don't find that Farah has good heartt because I was watching this serial approximately 5 time start till end and I concluded that Farah only think about herself when she think she want someone she tried to get him forcefully otherwise she doesn't care about others feelings

I know right! The way she is always throwing her money around without even asking her parents, disturbed me! The way she talks about 2, 4 lacs its like she's talking in thousands or something 😕 And as she has money, she feels she is in control of everything. No wonder when Afzal calls it off, she immediately thinks he wants more money and offers him more. Bus khareed lo us becharay ko

And you are right! Lubna is a little considerate as opposed to Farah. At least she thinks a little about their actions and their repercussions. Farah is immaturely spontaneous even in small stuff like she tells Lubna k gaari nikalo, Afzal kay ghar chaltay hain and Lubna has to point out that she's being stupid 😕

And I know kafi screenplay has been devoted to these two but without it, their characters wouldn't have been established so nicely. Seeing Farah and Lubna talk in their natural habitat makes you realize what their natures actually are and yes it explains their future actions as well. And the best part is that KRQ's awesome script doesn't make their interactions seem boring at all 😳

And if you think about it, Afzal's character is established first as well. All that part about gambling and smoking and Miss. Rosy's ilzaam to show that despite having bad habits, Afzal is not a bad guy and his most amazing quality is his respect for women ❤️

And that part about Farah owning to her mistakes is right. Every time Lubna points out her mistakes, she admits it at least which comes a surprise because you have expect her to stubbornly defend herself 😃

And I totally agree with you. When I first watched Pyare Afzal, I loathed her ABSOLUTELY. She made Afzal cry and I hated her for that 😭😆 But after you've watched the drama, you don't hate her that much. She is such a hatke female lead! 😆

Seriously I literally having been watching Humayun Saeed since I started noticing dramas 😆

Haha sorry messed up there. I can't imagine Uncle Humayun playing a 25 year old Afzal and Faisal would've looked too old for Ashar 😕 Now whenever I hear of these two as leads, it immediately puts me off from that drama no matter how much I'm looking forward to it

Like I HATE Adnan Siddique playing a young man about to get married. For heaven's sake he is in his 40s! But he was perfect in Mere Humdum Mere Dost because his fitted the age criteria 😳 Actors ko khud bhi apni age ka lihaz karna chahiay 😕

And the way he was praying and when Farah asks, replies dramatically Aap ko nahi bataon ga 😆🤣 The actor who did this role is perfect 👏

I rarely like female leads. Most of them are badly written and hindi serials are pro-Sati Savitri and abla naari self-righteous bullshit. Once in a while we do come across some sensible leads,but they fall in love and all kinds of nonsense happens.
With pak shows too,I have rarely found a good female lead. Kashaf no wonder became an instant favourite. She was flawed,but had good principles and didn't go about her self-righteousness without having a valid reason.

I like flawed characters,but Farah is border-line obnoxious. I think people always get the wrong idea of Feminism. Degrading the male in order to upgrade female is absolutely wrong.

I think I like Lubna better. But all this whacked out ideas come from her mouth. So Idk what to think.

Arifa I like. Her character makes sense to me.

I would have liked Farah and Lubna and even their stupid plan if only they hadn't been so selfish. I guess they're just stupid though. Not really selfish.


I dunno why female characters are almost always badly written.
