to make mistakes. Behroze's request has put his daughter in a very difficult situation as she has been asked
to marry someone her mother vehemently opposes and
someone she herself hardly knows.Similarly Agha Jaan
made a great mistake when he humiliated Roohi, an act
she just cannot forgive. On the flip side, because of Sohaib’s wishes, Wali is now connected to a girl who is at
best indifferent to him and whose family actively dislikes
him. It remains to be seen whether such complete trust
is rewarded.
Well developed characters:
With both brothers gone, the focus of the story is shifting
towards the lead pair of Faarah and Wali. Just like their
respective fathers, superficially they seem to be poles
apart. While Wali is a kind, considerate young man,
for whom responsibility and taking care of his family is
second nature, Faarah is a headstrong, only child, outspoken and determined to “be something”. She mocks
her cousin for being
the kind who waits
at home to get married and has different aspirations.
Wali is very much
a modern young
man with the ambition to study law at
Stanford but knows
he also has to help
run his grandfather’s
estate. His reluctant
new bride can only
see him through
her mother’s biased
eyes as a backward feudal.Yet both
agree to marry for
the same reason,
a deep trust in their
respective fathers.
Wali manages to develop a soft corner for his new bride but Faarah remains
aloof to him.The other prominent character is Roohi, an
insecure, possessive woman who cannot forgive, forget
or see beyond her own feelings.For twenty years she
was a good mother, a good wife and a good sister but
suddenly she fails her husband at his most crucial hour
leaving him to die alone. Her character has been negative and her influence will cast a long shadow on Faarah
and Wali’s relationship but there may still be some room
for nuance in her character arch as the serial progresses.
The actors have done a phenomenal job:
