Again Hina Bayat’s scenes were heart breaking so there really was no need for that awfully fake wail of “saroooo” each time she picked up her daughter’s framed photograph. Farida never really lost Asher but Zarina lost her only daughter. Zarina really did pay the heaviest price for her really quite minimal involvement. Poor Sara was in my opinion unnecessarily killed off and I think Khizar, who played the most iniquitous role in the entire plot against Khirad was let off too easily. I know some people think Khirad should never have forgiven Asher but as Farhat Ishtiaq herself has said “Khirad and Asher loved each other so there was never a question of them not reconciling” I really don’t think Khirad let Asher off the hook that easily, the ending scene shows it took time for them to reach some kind of level of trust. The shake of Khirad’s head had him worried but then she admits that she is tired of struggling through life without him. Fawad and Mahirah carried the whole thing off with such subtlety we could see the ebb and flow of their emotions as Asher negotiated his way back into Khirad’s life. The best of this entire episode was the reconciliation between Asher and Khirad, beautifully done it has to be one of my favourite scenes out of all the dramas I have ever watched. I am sure the entire country held its breath when Asher said “Bas Mummy Bas” ….” Hareem meri beti HAI, agar iss baat ka koi saboot nahi hai tho saboot iss baat ka bhi nahin hai key main Baseerat Hussain ka beta hoon “ Even then Farida is not willingly to accept any guilt or shame “ tum ,tum mujhe galiy dey rahey ho.?” I have to commend Atiqa Odho for carrying off that entire mental break down scene alone in her room but for me this was not a satisfying conclusion to her track. I found this the most disturbing part of the finale.įawad, Mahirah and Atiqa had us enthralled. Again he does not confront his mother or blame her till she starts haranguing Khirad at the door. He can barely meet her gaze now knowing how abominably he treated her but manages to cook up an excuse to bring her home. He blames himself, bangs his handsome head on a barrier before jumping into a car to fetch Khirad. So I think they chose the easier option and gave Farida a nervous breakdown rather than allowing her to be abandoned as in the book.Īsher never willingly confronts his mother despite the absolute confirmation of her guilt. One of the main underpinnings of the Humsafar story is that Asher trusted his mother above his wife Khirad. Now I realize this put the producer and director between a rock and a hard place, Farida had to be punished without knocking into that other pillar of our society: honouring your mother. The subcontinent has little patience for “the randomness” of life explanations and open ended philosophy of the West: we look for finite conclusions to finite situations. And it was only wise, we can safely say that now in retrospect, on the part of the director as well as the writer that they were never tempted to tamper with with the original work.One of the strongest and perhaps most prevalent threads in the tapestry that is South Asian culture is the belief divine or karmic retribution. The characters might have been slotted into either black or white boxes without many complex layers added to them-but then, that flaw (for the lack of a better word) is the essence of the original story. The major twists in the tale and the sudden shifts in sensibilities of the characters in terms of their idiosyncrasies might be seen as regressive in parts.
LAST EPISODE OF HUMSAFAR DRAMA TV
Also Read - Fawad Khan Starrer Zindagi Gulzar Hai Is Back to Indian Television ‘On Public Demand’īased on the popular novel by the same name Humsafar, the TV series, has done justice to the original literary work.
The show had drama, intrigue, mystery and a myriad of basic human emotions, portrayed in broad stroke- and yet it had some really sparkling moments that reflected the vulnerabilities of its solid characters. It really warmed the cockles of our hearts to see love, truth and the virtues we take pride in triumphed over the greed, manipulations and grief. Finally-much to our relief and to those who followed every moment of this engaging story keenly-it was heartening to see Khirad and Asher getting reunited.
Zindagi’s much-acclaimed drama Humsafar starring promising (and popular) Pakistani talents Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan in the lead roles has come to its logical conclusion.
