The story of ‘Khaie’ by Saqlain Abbas has reached its conclusion with its 29th episode. Departing from the usual Saas Bahu and love triangle sagas, ‘Khaie’ brought a fresh flavor to television with its unique plot, outstanding acting, and excellent execution.
Zamda fulfills her promise to her mother by seeking revenge against all her enemies, with the last target being Chanaar Khan.
After the murder of Duraab Khan, Zamda’s path towards targeting Chanaar was cleared. Khan is grieving the loss of his son and now has to bury his father. Despite Chanaar’s grief, he blindly trusts Zamda, unaware of her ulterior motives. Zamda offers Chanaar intoxicated tea and convinces him to accompany her to her father and brother’s graves. However, Chanaar is shocked to find a freshly dug grave at the cemetery, realizing too late that he has been a victim of revenge all along.
People tend to think of women as weak and unintelligent. Chanar also fell prey to the trope by undermining her at first and then trusting her blindly while an educated, self-empowered woman like Zamda is an example that women are much more capable of what they seem to be.
Faysal Quraishi delivers a captivating performance as Chanaar Khan, effectively portraying his emotions, especially in the pivotal moment when he realizes Zamda’s true intentions. Zamda proceeds to fulfill her revenge by killing Chanaar and sparing his innocent son from her wrath, showing a glimpse of her humanity amidst her thirst for vengeance. The story concludes with a flash-forward showing Chanaar’s son Aizaz as a teenager, with Zamda revealing her reasons for sparing him and starting a new life in Karachi.
Overall, the ending of ‘Khaie’ is satisfying, with Zamda achieving her revenge but also facing the consequences of her actions. However, the possibility of a second season remains uncertain, as one survivor from Duraab Khan’s clan still remains.
