Observations
After seeing Aly Khan in Saat pardon mein, the same grey shades are shown, same middle aged platonic girlfriend, same psychotic behaviour??
Pretty rude behaviour by a man who claims to stand by his word, not ensuring whether she was comfortable or settled in a strange alien new world. On top of everything else he doesn’t have a spine to admit that he has married her, hope it doesn’t drag on like Ahista Ahista and Kaneez. will he actually stand up for for her rights.
A growing trend is for the male to be so afraid of his elders or family unable to tell the truth of past, present or future alliances. quite surprised at the behaviour of females in question such as Kaneez in this drama, Haya in Ahista Ahista, Qudsiya in Asmano pe Likha and Malika in Kaneez. Why don’t they speak up for their rights, instead they relegate themselves to crying in despair. becoming maids and serving the family.
