GEETI: She gets irritated because her wedding called off. She remained sitting there as a bride. Shams did not even looks at her. She tells her Ama that she doesn’t trust Shams, ask Mamo that simply do Nikkah. Otherwise Shams will change his mind. Samina gets worried, and goes straight to her brother, she tell him that it would be good if we do Nikkah in simple way. Khursheed hears that, he gets angry and upset, that my daughter is in jail and you are planning for wedding. Later he apologized and ask his sister and brother to do as they please. Geeti goes to meet Sarmad Khoosat to get a roll in drama. He ask her to give audition. She is showing no sympathies for Falak. Infact, she is making some evil plans.

My Take:

The treatment to the drama is very good. The screen is so fresh. The editing is perfect. At The start of the 19th episode, when all three of them getting ready, Shams, Geeti, and Falak it was perfectly placed together. There are many small knowledgeable lessons intricate with the main story line. Like at first Falak was locked up with males, but with the dialogue between police and Lawyer, we came to know that it is against the law.
