Not that we didn’t know but it is not easy being Ayeza Khan.
Ayeza, who is blowing everyone away with her phenomenal performance as Mehwish in Meray Paas Tum Ho, is a recent Instagram post gave her fans an insight into what her daily routine looks like and we have to say we’re very impressed.
The actor revealed that she wakes up at 7 am and gets her daughter Hoorain ready for school. After dropping her off to school, she comes home and wakes up her younger one Rayyan and feeds him before dropping him off at her mother’s house. She then has breakfast with her husband Danish Taimoor after which she leaves for work.

Ayeza shared that she monitors her kids activities all day on the phone and even tries to go home in between shoots whenever she can. Her evenings are spent “feeding, bathing, choosing the princess or batman night-suit every night and listening to Hoorain’s bedtime stories.”
The final part of her day is dedicated to a “dinner date with my favorite person [Danish]” before finally hitting the bed at 3 am.
The next morning she’s up at 7 am again. How she manages to survive on only four hours of sleep is beyond us.
Ending her note, Ayeza said that though the routine gets “difficult to manage,” the amount of love she has received from her fans “has made me the super woman and given me the power to work, to dream and to make all of you proud.”

Meanwhile when a fan asked her how she manages to stay fit with such a tough routine, Ayeza replied,”Wait for the next post.”
We assumed it was going to be a drama about love, betrayal and revenge. But Episode 13 shows it’s a lot more than that. Meray Paas Tum Ho is slowly building into a drama about child custody and the battle between being a wife or a lover.
Mehwish (Ayeza Khan) is slowly realizing that she’s missing her son Rumi, as the high of divorcing her husband for a rich guy is wearing off. She asks Shehwar (Adnan Siddiqui) if she can bring her son home and Shehwar agrees.

Danish (Humayun Saeed) is mourning the loss of his best friend Mateen Sahib and when Mehwish goes over to speak to him about Rumi, Danish tells her that he’s put Rumi in boarding school. He also tells her that she shouldn’t upset him or do anything drastic since Rumi has just settled in and had almost been expelled. Mehwish doesn’t listen and heads to the school to take her son home, only to find out that she needs Danish’s permission to take her son out of school.

The most interesting part of the drama was when Danish consults his lawyer and the lawyer tells him to wait it out saying that no man would want his lover to bring home her ex husband’s son. And at the end of the episode, that’s exactly what happens. Shehwar tells Mehwish that her desire to have Rumi with her on the weekends isn’t one that he’s willing to indulge. He gets the weekends off and he wants her around for him – not have to deal with her former husband’s child.

The episode is the most realistic episode in the show yet. A custody battle, harsh truths and the dark face of reality are revealed – your lover is only your lover until you do what he or she says. When you make a decision based on greed, then it will come back to bite you and you can see the ripples of uncertainty that are affecting Mehwish.
Also, where is Shehwar’s wife? Mehwish is living in his house like she owns it and there is no sign of the real lady of the house. There should definitely be an introduction to his wife when she comes back to town and that will be an episode which cannot be missed.
Hamza Ali Abbasi’s former co-star and dear friend Humayun Saeed has sent him best wishes for his new journey.
Sharing a picture of the two on Twitter, Humayun wrote, “Wishing Hamza Ali Abbasi all the best for the new journey he has decided to embark on. May Allah give you the strength to stay steadfast and may He give you success in all your endeavours.”

Humayun and Hamza have done one film together Jawani Phir Nahi Ani. The film was a box-office success. Following that, the two may not have done a film together but they have collaborated on several projects. In fact, Hamza’s latest drama Alif is being produced by Humayun’s wife, Samina.
In a 23-minute long video message posted to Youtube on Thursday, Hamza had announced that he will be quitting acting to focus on religion, his relationship with Allah and to spread the message of Islam.
Hamza’s announcement to quit the entertainment industry and follow his religious calling had not come as a surprise to many.
It was a historic day for Pakistan, India and their relations as the world witnessed the opening of the Kartarpur Corridor – an initiative that will allow 5,000 Indian Sikh pilgrims to visit the second holiest place for their community on a daily basis without a visa.
The opening ceremony was performed on both sides of the border by Prime Minister Imran Khan on the Pakistan side and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the Indian side.
Like the rest of the country, Pakistani celebs including Mehwish Hayat, Wasim Akram, Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed, took to social media to express their joy on this ‘corridor of peace’ and praised PM Khan and his government for taking this step and seeing this through.
The opening of the #KartarpurCorridorForPeace in time for Guru Nanak’s 550th Gurpurab is a real milestone. It’s a sign of true religious harmony & how open hearted Pakistanis are. All too often men build walls & not enough bridges .. #Kartarpur#Kartarpur2Khalistan2020
PM Khan’s cricket buddies Wasim Akram and Shoaib Akhtar applauded him for this efforts.
Our PM just keeps knocking it out of the park! The opening of #KartarpurCorridor shows who we are as a nation & the direction our country is heading towards. There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that Pakistan is a dignified country of peace.Welcome our Sikh brother & sisters
I welcome the Sikh brethren to Pakistan. #KartarpurCorridor is a road to peace & religious harmony. Beautiful scenes at the opening of corridor. I can see the priceless happiness on the faces. Special contribution of @ImranKhanPTI & @sherryontopp is highly appreciated. pic.twitter.com/RrKfok7oVB
Feeling so proud of my as we open the #KartarpurCorridor Let there be peace, tolerance, love and respect for all. @ImranKhanPTI Respect! This is Iqbal’s Pakistan ♥️

Must commend the efforts of everyone involved in the successful inauguration of the #KartarpurCorridor. Indeed a proud moment for Pakistan and a much needed step towards greater inclusivity, regional peace and happier people
As the #KartarpurCorridor opens, #Pakistan has won my heart. What a win for diplomacy and a lesson for the subcontinent. Respect and tolerance for each other is the only message that should echo in the region. Congratulations Pakistan!
To many more corridors of peace & prosperity inshAllah ❤️❤️ #KartarpurCorridor Always always proud of my country & my prime minister @ImranKhanPTI To better days….
PM @ImranKhanPTI leading from the front. #KartarpurCorridor strengthens spiritual ties between Pakistan & the world’s Sikh community. In a world of hate & division, @ImranKhanPTI unites hearts.
Armeena Khan and Mehwish also took this moment to compare the Kartarpur Corridor Project to the Ayodha Judgement that was announced earlier in the day.
The #BabriMasjid verdict & the opening of the #KartarpurCorridor 2day hv shown how tolerant the 2 respective countries are towards minority religions.While we’re opening up to other faiths,our neighbours seem 2be suppressing them further. Why can’t the world see what is going on? pic.twitter.com/Re9bMwBieA
All the theories we all had after EP 12 have gone down the drain. No one thought “a few months later” Danish (Humayun Saeed) will be pining for his ex-wife Mehwish (Ayeza Khan) and putting his kid Rumi in boarding school. All everyone talked about was how it seemed obvious that Shehwar’s (Adnan Siddiqui) wife would come back and ruin Shehwar and Mehwish’s plan to get married for a happily every after.
Mehwish and Shehwar returning to Pakistan after spending a few months abroad
Wrong. Although Mehwish is looking super beautiful, and surprisingly more relaxed, in this episode, the do takey ka aadmi Shehwar is not interested in marrying the do take ki aurat. In a dialogue that’s bound to become popular Shehwar tells Mehwish that Shaadiyon mai divorce ho sakti hai lekin muhabbat mai divorce nahi hoti.
Mehwish has travelled all over Europe and has the travel glow
Danish on the other hand, has gotten a promotion and has become besties with Mateen sahib, the older guy who works with him and had cheated on his wife and lives in utter regret of that. Danish has put his son in boarding school and is called by the principal for a meeting. He is told that Rumi is a terrible student and in walks Hania (Hira Mani) who is Rumi’s teacher.
Hira Mani makes her entry in the drama as Rumi’s teacher
She complains to Danish about how terrible a student Rumi is and how he needs to take his kid out of school. Danish asks for one last chance and they agree.
In the end of the episode we see Danish meeting with Mateen sahib to tell him that he’s planning to become a very rich businessman. Mateen sahib tells him his sob story again (in some very pretty dialogues) and then has a heart attack and is taken to the hospital.
Danish and Mateen sahib’s heart to heart
Danish calls his daughter and finds out that surprise surprise, Hania is his best friend’s daughter and when she walks in the hospital, she and Danish find out her father has died.
Hania finds out her father has died
Ok so, what will happen next? Danish will have to marry Hania and find love again (and become a rich businessman because of course, he has to) and Mehwish will realize that Shehwar will never marry her and she will always be the side wali.
That’s it? Predictable and boring, here’s to hoping that this won’t happen although all the signs point to the fact that this is the most obvious route the drama will take.
Hira Mani is a good actress and did a good job portraying a daughter who has just lost her father. But she lacks expression and comes across as a rather boring figure. Earlier, in .a behind the scenes interview, she spoke about her role in the drama and said, “[my role is]In fact it’s very similar to how I am in my life, a soft hearted girl. H for Hira and H for Hania, you’ll like this character very much”.
She will really have to take her acting up a notch for her role to become a prominent one and to take the drama out of the boring path it is about to take.
“Do take ki aurat,” has taken over social media and the Pakistani meme world. The episode was one of the biggest searches on Google yesterday, with people asking what will happen next.
Meme doing the rounds
ARY uploaded a ‘coming up next’ for episode 13 but it doesn’t say much….at all. The teaser shows Danish (Humayun Saeed) remembering Mehwish (Ayeza Khan) and her walking with Shehwar (Adnan Siddiqui).
A lot of the shots look as if we have seen them in previous episodes, so here’s to hoping its not one of those ‘remembering’ episodes where Danish and Mehwish are sitting, reminiscing about the past. Boring. Especially after such a big high in episode 12.
You won’t be able to tell that 40 minutes went by in one of the fastest episodes of Meray Pass Tum Ho. Just 12 episodes in, the show is bound to be one of the biggest blockbusters in Pakistani drama history.
Mehwish (Ayeza Khan) has decided to leave her son and husband for loaded Shehwar (Adnan Siddiqui). Husband Danish (Humayun Saeed) relents and tells her that she can go and as predicted serves her with divorce papers in this episode.
She doesn’t flinch when he gives them to her but there is a flicker – of shock or happiness, one can’t be certain – but she is definitely taken by surprise when he hands them to her.
One can’t be sure in the beginning of the episode of Danish’s motives. He brings a cake to celebrate his wedding anniversary with Mehwish, which seems like a really weird and creepy thing to do since she’s leaving him for another man.
Making Mehwish cut a wedding anniversary cake with him
The weirdness of it freaks Mehwish out too and she tell Shehwar to come over and get her – eight hours before she actually has to leave. We start to see cracks in Danish’s cool demeanour as he starts passing comments on his marriage with Mehwish – and we finally see that he really is incredibly angry and just very good at hiding it.
Mehwish on the other hand, couldn’t care less and one loses a little respect for her in this episode. When Danish hands her her phone, she finds that the phone is covered in Danish’s blood – blood from an accident he had had the same night. She ignores it – and checks for Shehwar’s message. Ouch.
Mehwish realizing Danish’s blood is on her hands
Her soon-to-be ex-husband and father of your child is bleeding and she couldn’t care less. Seems like a whole new Mehwish. Ayeza Khan had warned her fans not to watch this episode since they would hate her at the end of it. Don’t hate her but definitely don’t like her anymore.
Danish’s biting responses and out of the blue reactions make this episode a truly riveting watch. Humayun Saeed has done it again, proving he is the best actor in the industry. He succeeds in making everyone watching feel for him and also feel incredibly uncomfortable watching him behave and react so strangely. He offers his cheating wife and her lover tea and asks them to sit in his house- until he tells Mehwish to leave with Shehwar.
Danish made Shehwar and Mehwish chai after he gave Mehwish permission to call Shehwar over to take her
When walking them to the door, he says to Shehwar that, “waisey tou bohat intelligent businessman lagte hain aap, lekin yahan bhao karte huye hairaan kardia aapne mujhe. Is do takay ki larki kay liye aap mujhe 50 million dey rahe thay…“ and that’s it.
Danish telling Shehwar that Mehwish is a do take ki aurat
Mehwish hears it and realizes that that’s the moment she truly lost her husband – not when she told him she wanted to leave, not when he found out that she had an affair, not when he gave her divorce papers.
Mehwish realizes she’s lost her husband forever
She realizes that she’s lost the man who truly loved her when she’s walking out of her house and he reveals how he truly feels, you can tell – she has a flicker of admiration and fear for him. Admiration that he finally, finally stood up for himself and fear because now she knows that she can never come back.
Wait, what? Is that Danish (Humayun Saeed) trying to win back Mehwish (Ayeza Khan) after he’s been clearly told (and accepted) that she’s leaving him for Shehwar (Adnan Siddiqui)?
That would be a twist not many would like or had expected. Others are predicting that he’s going to bid her goodbye with the sweetest gestures so she remembers his love when she is faced with troubling times (which she undoubtedly will, given this battle of good vs. evil).
Mehwish and Danish are seen cutting a cake
But can Danish really be such a pushover? Or wait a minute! Are those ‘divorce’ papers he’s handing Mehwish?

Humayun Saeed in a recent interview had stated that the show was based on a true story and we are also expecting the entrance of actress Hira Mani. Needless to say, everyone is anxiously waiting for the next episode to air on Saturday and then watch it on Youtube. Last week’s episode has a whopping 4.7M views.
The 11th episode of the superhit drama Meray Paas Tum Ho practically broke all records and people across the country couldn’t get over Humayun Saeed’s emotional performance as Danish. Many fans referred to his role as his career’s best.
The drama was trending on Youtube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram – basically everywhere.
Following the “outpour of love and appreciation” from the audiences, Humayun took to social media to thank his fans for their “overwhelming feedback and all the praise.”
Humayun also thanked the director Nadeem Baig, writer Khalil ur Rehman Qamar and his co-stars Ayeza Khan and Adnan Siddiqui for their input and support.
“Itna pyar itni mohabbat, aisa lag raha hai kay yeh serial ka last episode tha, ya shayad meray career ka last episode (So much love and appreciation, feels like it was the last episode of the serial or the last episode of my life)”, Humayun wrote.
For the unacquainted, Meray Paas Tum Ho is centred around the theme of infidelity and cheating in a relationship. Danish (Humayun) is married to Mehwish (Ayeza Khan). They have a son and Danish is desperately in love with Mehwish, who wants the finer things in life. Enter Shehwar (Adnan Siddiqui) who is super loaded and in a very unhappy marriage – he lives alone and his wife lives abroad. He plays on Mehwish’s desire to be rich and the fact that all Danish can afford is a small apartment and gets with Mehwish. Eventually, Mehwish starts an affair with Shehwar and decides to leave her husband for him.
What makes the drama even more interesting is the fact that it is based on a true story. Though only 11 episodes of the series have aired so far, the audiences are captivated and cannot wait to see what the next episodes have in store.
There is no bigger discussion happening on social media right now other than the epic performance given by Humayun Saeed on Meray Paas Tum Ho’s 11th episode. Facebook groups are discussing how they, and their mothers, cried while Danish gives up the love of his life.
When Danish finds out his wife wants to leave him
The drama is in its 11th episode and come to a major twist. Danish (Humayun Saeed) is married to Mehwish (Ayeza Khan), they have a son and Danish is desperately in love with Mehwish, who wants the finer things in life. Enter Shehwar (Adnan Siddiqui) who is super loaded and in a very unhappy marriage. He lives alone and his wife lives abroad. He plays on Mehwish’s desire to be rich and the fact that all Danish can afford is a small apartment and gets with Mehwish.
The pink nightie scene in episode 9
The popular ‘pink nightie’ scene, in Episode 9, where Mehwish ends up in a hotel room with Shehwar, is also confirmed in this episode. Mehwish went to Islamabad with Shehwar and didn’t tell Danish she was going. She had taken a job as Shehwar’s secretary, and it was obvious that Danish knew something was up, but he let it go on anyway. We see her in a pink nightie which eludes that Shehwar and her were having an affair but it wasn’t confirmed.
In this episode, which has broken Pakistani social media, Shehwar shows Danish pictures of Mehwish in the pink nightie in the hotel room, confirming that they were indeed having an affair. He convinces Danish to give Mehwish a divorce since she’s just not in love with Danish anymore. Danish, after hearing a recorded conversation between Mehwish and Shehwar, is convinced to give her up.

He tells Mehwish she can go. Mehwish gets ready to leave and he asks her to stay the night and leave in the morning.
The episode was beautiful in its simplicity, the explosive performances caused tears because of how genuine they seemed. It was very obvious in Humayun Saeed’s acting that he was in love with his wife and would eternally be. He didn’t rant, didn’t scream, he spoke simply and he cried silent tears, which made him even more real. Humayun Saeed gave the performance of his life in the simple way he portrayed how deeply love can hurt – without having to scream it. When Danish tells Shehwar that “larki jubh bewafa hoti hai tou poori tarhan bewafa hoti hai,” Shehwar also has a sheen of tears in his eyes.
Ayeza Khan also gives a stellar performance because she isn’t the typical female villain. She doesn’t act like the spoilt, jean-wearing, bad girl that Pakistani dramas love to create. She is aware of her beauty, maintains her simplicity and knows what she wants. You don’t hate her; you can’t. She has made her decision to take what she wants and even though it’s selfish and terrible, Ayeza’s performance shows that it happens and there’s nothing dramatic about it. Which is why she doesn’t lose any respect. She maintains her dignity and makes her choice – without being behaya about it. The affair isn’t just Mehwish – it’s also Shehwar and the episode does a good job showing that the guy is just as much to blame as the woman. Shehwar is the one who has to face Danish first – showing that they are a team and man and woman, both are to blame.
Mehwish getting ready to leave Danish
The lessons in this drama are also incredibly important – especially this episode. Danish is concerned about his son, Rumi and what Rumi will do when he wakes up in the morning and finds his mother gone. Mehwish also tells Danish to tell Rumi the truth in a few days so that Rumi doesn’t have any expectations when his mother doesn’t comes back and if he spots her on the road. It shows the importance of how an affair – no matter who has it – affects a family and especially children.
The dialogues by Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar is the spine of the whole episode and the drama. He writes how it happens – every single phrase is something that could’ve and would’ve been said. It plays to the heartstrings, making each dialogue so real that there is no one watching who is not entranced – and is wondering how these are words that anyone could be unlucky enough to hear.
