As a muslim by birth you are usually well aware of religion and concept of akhirat ….how was his journey different then let’s say an atheist?what made him embark on this journey,it’s not an alien concept for us ? it’s not a criticism ,just wondering.

Acting buri hoti hai toh criticism bhi sehni padti hai so that actors improve kare agar blindly hype karenge toh actor kabhi improve nhi karte

Sadaf your views on Andaleeb were so true. She is being emotionally abused and its painful for her . Her parents were terrible and she needed therapy not a forced marriage. Everyone got sent to therapy except for her lol the one who had suicide attempt got forced marriage and now thinks her husband doesnt trust her. she loves him and I feel she actually has matured look at her dealing with a hot and cold husband her whole pregnancy you dont think she showed maturity? its not like she was throwing tantrums or running home every second but anyway she had reached rock bottom when she attenpted suicide and never got proper support or therapy medication anti depressants nothing its just sad I understand Numair and his nuances and flaws thats the beauty of the story but I feel Deebu arc has not been showed well somehwere she has been not treated fairly . Suicide attempts are no joke and shouldnt be treated so lightly

Love the new drama Aye Ishq e junoon agree with you guys directed brilliantly love all the creative shots and its so aesthetic omg the party was so beautiful shout out to the set designer the hotel has been captured beautifully and the pool drowning scene was also shot so well great effects👏👏. Ushna accent def annoys me though I hope she works on it in future I agree that some girls have it but in every drama she has it you cannot sound same as a middle class girl in every drama so it doesnt work esp when she startes talking in perfect english sentences and uses phrases like sorry but I wasnt born with a silver spoon in my moutg really a lower middle class talks like that??😂. Even the poses she was doing and fitting so comfortably into the waitress role and doing those seductive dances what was that?!? She just didnt look middle class sorry she looks way too polished and refined but otherwise acting wise shes fine and obv looks pretty . Shehryar is brilliant and looking fwd to the twists the amnesia one seems plausible good thinking👍

Recently came upon your channel, you ladies are great, I'm hooked to your show .😊

In my opinion. Nameer khan in qarz e jaan played a much better Bigra howa ameerzada character than shuja in ishq e junoon

Every relationship has a limit. Zara is a good friend but Deepu is his wife he has to talk to her. When Mozi talked about his masculinity with his wife. He started feeling quality so much. He couldn't even respond to her l love you.

Usman mukhtar greath acter

Broken Billionaire is a great term you both created 😅so apt 👌 for some of the lead characters

Shehroze is a dangerous predator & dark inside.his eyes are essential to reveal his inner truth as he camouflages it by playing the joker.in Real life such people don't look menacing & can be quite innocuous.rahim enables him by covering 4 him each time but would his mother believe her darling son is criminal.would he rock the boat by disclosing shehroze crimes.furqan too is is in another class but equally criminal as he stalks,hunts & dominates her claiming a right he doesn't have & threatening blackmail.I think he will find out the truth & use it to blackmail rahim as his aim is to get rich.woman a home life with the sick father & brother & poverty stricken household is from some dark ages tragedy & the greedy sister just overkill.loving the pace & thrills & its different.your story mahwish was excellent.I would watch that.u definetly are a writer.

Jafa, Hasaan undoubtedly was or is negative character audience could hate or dislike Hasan's character more coz Hasaan was clever he used to manipulate twist things his anger issues on top audience could hate weak baisless plot crafted for Hasaan 's past , coz i strongly believe there is no set ans findings Molvi ki gher sehtaan bacha ho sakta Rowdy rude parents ki haan acha sober kind bacha ho sakte Ache loving parents ki gher in ki pass angry furious disobedient rude kid ho sakta Teacher ka bacha fail ho sakta Docter ko bhi koi bemaari ho sakti Dishonest ki haan honest bacha ho sakta Broken family main ache kids with goodness ho sakte Caring faithful parent ki haan marrige breaker kids unfaithful kids ho sskte So wrtter is more responsible for creating fuss Nomair did alot for Debo all gone unnoticed shockingly Debo broke parents ' trust thn tried commiting suicide on wedding night her bad stupid actions easily forgotten How can audience make verdict Nomair bad husbnd ?

Ishq e junnoon , Sujha as character in isqe n junnoon esa bacha esa larka he jo surly loogo ko tang kerke maze leta he hoote he hain ese jin ko hum naughty nahi khe sakte esa kids ese loog boy or girl bully tease disturb insult steal hit kick hide things to feel pleasure satisfaction others misery someone else joy 😢

I think people are misunderstanding Sunn Mere Dil. It's obviously a deadpan comedy. Was rolling on the floor during yesterday's episode.

I feel that they should have cast Nameer Khan instead of Shuja Asad as the younger brother in AIEJ. Nameer and Sherry even kinda lookalike so yeah and I think he does ameer baap ki bigri hui aulaad wala kirdaar really well. Liked him in QEJ.

Andaleeb ka character perfect hai , numair ki galti hai

Numair could have told zara.. after all she is his good friend and a gynecologist /doctor ( she would have understood azoospermia ) He was the one who counselled zara for going to therapy.. Also unless deebu was in post partum depression i dont belive a mother leaves her child like that. Specially a newborn. And they never showed her in post partum depression. She was pretty happy and excited about the baby untill the dna test.

i heard wahaj saying in his US tour that he says yes to a script based on the director and doesnt really focus on what the script is , i hope he change his ideology now , mpht, mein and smd all had big director but bad script didnt do any justice to his talent it only benefited the producers for trp and views . u can do commercial work but u should have a margin and reason for being there ,smd was initially focused on zaviyar and now sadaf marriage , there is no focus on him here , as a fan i want him doing shows like jo bichar gaye , ishq jalebi, even tb (excluding MR) ,fitoor , dil na umeed tou nahin ,etc where he is not shown just for beauty scenes but has a clear arc and importance in the show , and he should stop trusting top production team that they will choose best for him

I am sorry I am not buying the explanation behind Deebu's reaction of leaving her newborn child with her husband (who was BTW running a DNA test on her) and resort to self harm as being plain emotional. The girl needs to diagnosed with either Post partum depression or clinical depression with suicidal tendencies and she needs extensive therapy. And yes Numair needs to open up and heard out. Only Zara is the person I am expecting is mature enough to understand this situation and will counsel him as a friend and doctor which he can't do it for himself unfortunately. Because this is the bond I absolutely adore!!

People may not agree with the character Numair’s reactions & response to his condition, but as author Samira Fazal has said , this fits into his personality as an average man . Men even those in the supposedly Liberal west find it very difficult if not impossible to openly discuss their feelings. In Pakistani society its an even bigger taboo, so while we nay not like his reaction it is what most men would do . What I cannot understand is the ad hominem personal attacks against Usman Mukhtar , who took on this incredibly difficult role & brought it so vividly to life. He is a good actor who unlike the majority has taken on tough roles instead of sticking to the usual cute hero . We should all be lauding his courage to take on such characters, otherwise rip authenticity & creativity & welcome to mov hysteria

they are not a perect couple in situation the marriiage happen , its Numair maturity that makes them to live togather and later living as a happy couple , he did DNA of baby for 100 % satisfaction of himself rather making a panic in family by discussing azospermia to every one even the girl like his wife who has a suicidal history,its human pshycology if ihe is not 100% satisfied he can think wronge any time in life so its for his mental heath is necessary too overall he is a human ,in life infuture if he see at any time his wife with his past boyfriend for whom she did suicide even for a moment bad thinking can come by this DNA they can live as very happy family , he will so satisfied

Before Numairs secrete reveals, I was getting irritated why this character is so boring not reciprocating his wife’s love romantically. But afterwords we got the answers to many questions. Very well performed by Usman mukhtar , this is his best performance and he is perfectly suitable to the character. Not Sehars fans but all of them who was expecting Numair to be perfect all the time and who have other favourite dramas only criticising Numair . I like Sehar and Usmans performance in last episode. Andleeb is heart broken and Numair is in shock , different story line and interesting characters makes Jafaa special.

Numair’s performance required variations, Usmaan messed up by giving total 1 expression. He is good with stone face characters, in every show he picks one expression and gives it from first scene to last scene. Numair wasn’t supposed to be a one expression fella

The title should have been in defence of Numair and Usman

Thanks a lot for this- I second everything that you said. People are so superficial. They don't want to think deeply - they just react . Had some other more popular actor played Numair, there would be a sea of fans trying to justify and fight for him. I also feel horrible about the unfair comments on Usman's looks, age and acting. He is a wonderful actor - he even made me want to like Aswad 😅 Like you said, he is a thoughtful and wonderful actor. Once again thanks 😊 Felt good after watching this.

I feel like so many women are character assassinated by their husbands this why they feel it’s ok if their husbands think the wife is sleeping around. This is extremely problematic, awareness needs to be spread. These women raise their son like this and tell them you are allowed to slut shame your wife because you did bare minimum

Usmaan’s performance is literally the worst performance in 2024. He made an interesting character extremely boring. The open mouth he consistently had from 1st to last scene (no other expression) , I know Usmaan lacks range and is very stiff but wtf is this open mouth expression. Is he ill?

What kind of a threat is this that if one doesn't comment in a 'civil' manner, one would be blocked ??!!

The story written is good and understandable but the main issue is with execution of the story and portrayal of Osman Mukhtar's character which ruined the story line

How the reviewers are saying that usman mukhtar’s acting was not good- I think the dilemma is not being understood.. Well Anyways - good perspective

Jafa ki wrtter ki pass two goldan chances thy to inject awarness knowledge I think she believes Ignorance is bliss or hiding truth fruitful Y i m saying this , look v r in 2024 wrtter is educated she could show DNA done in pregnancy or DNA possible with hair toothbrush hairbrush etc if wrtters has other thing in her mind regarding Nomair 's sickness like genetics doner ok v can say taking baby to lab was essential then Y wrtter director made Nnumair experienced wise doctor n husbnd docters know how silently DNA could b done no one had to know Y wrtter showing Debo attempts suicide twice y not something prudently done Debo could go to parents or girls ' hostel start her job stand on her feet become brave independent for her daughter , she used to say her parents never understood her love for her bf Debo also worse mother ,age has nothing to do with bravery wisdom n maturity v cannot say wrtter showed Debo much younger thn Y wrtter gave these lines to Debo Nomair ap ne mujhe per bsby per shuk kiya ap ki liye khud ko budla ap ki pasnd ki liye sub kiya Debo did sound she changed how seriously how she acting looser after knowing DNA thing she could stay ask y DNA she should hv called her mother in law she could go to parents Wrtter made Debo leave house without baby for finishing her life no other idea no other way no other means tried tested seedha gher choro bhaag jaoo mur jaooo

Thanks for recording this -- my thoughts exactly …

I ll not talk about previous episodes, lets bring latest one , i found Debo extremely immature she proved 2nd time she heartless for her own child Debo said in pregnancy Umair ap bolo tu ye bacha abort kerdo so abortion easy never accured in her stupid mind abortion means killing ur own baby ( miscarriage happens naturally due to various reasons sometimes without any reason ) abortion done by will or forcefully imposed, Debo was niether forced nor imposed for abortion she unwisely asked ap bolo tu baby abort kerdoon Phir recent one main dekha Debo ki liye us ka baby kuch nahi wo aram se un shoher ki pass baby chor gyi jin shoher ko wo ab na pasand ker rahi n sawal bhi kee rahi ki Debo per shuk kiya Debo by virtue of wrtter played sily stupid ik traf Debo boli ap ne mujh per n is baby per shuk kiya is baby ko apna khoon nahi samjha dosri traf Debo khud hi is shoher ki pass apna baby chor gyi n suicide bbi attempt ab ye khudkashi koi mazaq nahi Debo baar baar sirf ye hul sochti mur jaoo bhaag jaoo gher chor do mur jaoo Its irresponsible wrtting to mislead hopeless ones ki ab life kuch nahi only escape khudkashi its misguide n misleading ( sadly suicide being shown as good solution in various plays without thinking about consequences ) So i find Debo more problematic , she could go to her parents give them her precious daughter thn hide somewhere to shake Numair to make hum realize her importantance Debo could ask her parents see Numair is ur choice Numair was perfect for Debo's parents per nahi our plays or wetters going extreme thy jump for suicide or leaving house without healthy discussion y cannot our wrttrs director come up with idea after looking at Shikwa Jiwabe Shikwa wrtters bring problems thy must show healthy useful ways to come out

This is one of those where even the popular critics are just not getting it at all. The recent episode was stretched and boring but Usman's acting is good and I don't think the people calling his character x,y,z have seen thsi drama closely. Its like people didn't see his scenes where he cries while praying because he is struggling internally. He just wanted to end this torture by getting a DNA test to put this topic to rest and he did it in hiding because he knew it would hurt Andaleeb. Andaleeb showed extreme immaturity by trying to commit suicide and did not even think about her young child for once.

Thank you for explaining the depth of Dr.Numair’s character . The complexities of the character Osman Muktar has portrayed with such sensitivity. Thanks to the writer for bringing up such issues that makes audience think and educate.

Numair ny Andaleeb k letter ko serious ni lei belkul😢😢

I am missing kabhi me kabhi tum. 😢

Usman mukhter good actor

Our TV dramas are mostly followed by women so an average female mind can't understand male psychology plus the woke culture add to it thus the reaction. It is very insightful of Sameera Fazal to sort of try to get into that territory to at least have a conversation around. I have seen some men who kind of understood Numair through a male perspective. A significant portion of man's worth is often tied to his ability to procreate and if he fails in that he is a loser in the society and Numair is living with this baggage for quite some time. Coming to his character arc completely makes sense as he continuously tried to avert the topic of marriage and kids. When he got married he sort of pushed Deebu towards Moiz but she chose to stay with him. Then Numair's fear of not being masculine enough also created a performance anxiety in him which was very sensitively shown as well. And then when he gets the comment of not being a man enough from Moiz he clearly questions Deebu do you also think that again indicating his fears of not fulfilling the masculinity standards. It also created the fear in him that Deebu will left him and go towards Moiz which was also shown when he picks her up in the college when Deebu slapped Moiz and then she confesses into him and he was just shocked. Numair can't escape from his male psychology but he has always tried to utilize his masculinity in a positive way i.e protect a women in a crisis situation, protecting her from the stigma, encouraging her to realize her self worth and finally when his own trauma resurfaced he was constantly battling with his own emotions. It was very easy for him to clearly express his concerns to Deebu but he didn't and tried to put an end to his dilemma through DNA. One can't see this whole situation in a black and white lens, because all these 4 characters live in grey spectrum. It was very brave of Usman to pick up such a risky role because not a lot of leading actors would be comfortable to pick up a role like this!!

Agree with you on most parts, except you said that Usman Mukhtar is a good actor. He was always an awful actor and Jafaa only exposed his limitations as an actor.

My favourite actress Sehar Khan❤❤

❤

samira ji I watched jafaa a wander full play۔ ❤ lot's love from India jafaa bhhut hi Acha Hai aur ek Ek cheez acha❤

Thank you ladies. I’ve really enjoyed Samira’s writing over the years… whether it’s Dastaan, KPKP, Mera Naseeb or now Jaffa. Tell her to please keep writing.

Excellent interview and insight into the thought process behind the characters and issues. A suggestion to write about the issue that the gender of a child is determined by a man and not the woman as she has neutral chromosomes. For years women have been blamed for having girls. It's high time men owned this.
