  • Last two episodes of Meray Paas Tum Ho left: Hold on to your medicine, warns the writer

    Last two episodes of Meray Paas Tum Ho left: Hold on to your medicine, warns the writer

    The episode ended without much of a bang, but the teaser for the next episode was the shocker. Two episodes left. Its time for the big reveal: Will Danish (Humayun Saeed) take back Mehwish (Ayeza Khan) or marry Hania (Hira Mani)?

    The series has been anything but typical. But what is frustrating is that there are moments that are so problematic and anti-women.

    The most recent episode of the drama shows Maham (Savera Nadeem) accepting Shahwar (Adnan Siddiqui) back into her life. He has to prove himself, as she removes him from his position in the company, but why is he forgiven for that ultimate sin that the writer, Khalil ur Rehman Qamar isn’t allowing a woman to be forgiven for?

    The controversial writer is no stranger to backlash and seems like he doesn’t mind it much either. He has passed many controversial comments about women and recently made new ones and some revelations of the program.

    The episode, airing on Saturday, January 11th on ARY Digital, is going to be longer and not ‘for the faint-hearted’. The writer warns that it’s a real tear-jerker and if someone is emotional, they should keep their medicines close by. He also says that ‘God might forgive sins, but love does not,’ when asked about the ending of the drama.

    Roomi, Danish and Mehwish’s son also goes out on a limb and literally proposes to Hania and asks her to marry his father. What’s also stranger is how Roomi is allowed to go to her house on his own and do these crazy gestures but obviously, his role defines what his father will do.

    It will be disappointing if Danish doesn’t forgive Mehwish. Especially since Maham has taken Shehwar back in his life. But based on what the writer is saying about the end, Danish and Mehwish might not be ending up together.

    Mehwish is repenting. She buys her old apartment, where she lived with Danish and her son, she prays and cries and admits her mistakes, asking Danish to let her live with him, for their son’s sake. But all that might not be enough.

  • Meray Paas Tum Ho tackles an incredibly sensitive issue without much sensitivity

    The latest episode made Mehwish (Ayeza Khan) come out to be narcissistic and incredibly self-absorbed, which is something that was unexpected and a real put-off.

    The episode starts off with Maham (Savera Nadeem) coming to meet Mehwish and offering her 2.5 crore rupees for her time with Shehwar (Adnan Siddiqui). She glares at her with unmoving eyes and it isn’t very clear why she’s offering Mehwish the money, considering Shehwar is in jail and Mehwish tells her she isn’t interested.

    Maham’s expression didn’t change throughout her conversation with Mehwish

    Anyway, it does make Mehwish seem like a martyr. She doesn’t want money, or Shehwar and just wants love.

    But really? Does she want that? She waits outside Danish’s (Humayun Saeed) office and leaves him a note on his car, saying she imagines him sitting in his fancy car, wondering what his life is like. So she’s still quite materialistic.

    Danish’s friend finds the note and reads it. We aren’t sure if Danish ever got a look at it

    What isn’t okay is the way she tries to commit suicide. It’s insinuated, and the one person who is most affected is her son, Rumi. Danish comes to see if she’s okay and leaves without meeting her. She wakes up and asks if he came to meet her, showing the reason why she tried to commit suicide – to get Danish’s attention, who didn’t give it to her.

    If you have or had any sympathy for Mehwish, it dies right there and becomes into disgust. Also, when a Pakistani drama takes on the incredibly sensitive issue of suicide, it needs to be handled sensitively and it wasn’t in this episode. It seemed rather matter of fact. Girls do such crazy things for attention, it seemed. Giving the drama has handled other issues so well, one hopes that it discusses the issue of suicide in the next episode instead of letting it go with such ease.

    Rumi is badly affected by his mother’s attempt, which is obvious. Danish seems concerned but not as much as one would think. He was proposing to Hania (Hira Mani) before he found out Mehwish was in the hospital. Or was he proposing?

    So happy after Danish tells her he wanted to ask her to marry him for revenge

    It was a super weird proposal. Telling Hania, in front of her friend that he wanted to come ask her to marry him, but then it wouldn’t be fair to her if he did considering it wasn’t for love. ” Agar aap maan gayein tou badla leyne mai aap use hojayein gi,” Danish says to Hania. Hania seems totally bowled over which is so weird considering the proposal was so terrible and says that, “dobara mat poochye ga will you marry me. Kya pata mai haan kehdo”, hinting that shes up for a marriage of convenience/revenge.

    So pleased with himself after Hania tells him she would say yes if he asked her again to marry him. Despite it being a proposal of revenge

    Overall, the female leads really started a downfall in this episode. The strong self-absorbed Mehwish turns to suicide to get a man’s attention and the sweet selfless Hania becomes desperate to marry a man who is telling her he doesn’t love her. Here’s hoping for some redemption in the next one.

    The Meray Paas Tum Ho Memes you don’t want to miss

    19 episodes in, the memes are breaking the internet, with the “Mehwish slap” being the most recently popular ones.

    Ouch.

    It all began with ‘toxic Danish’, who loved his wife so much it seemed kind of suffocating.

    Toxic Danish?

    And then came the ultimate ‘do takkay ki aurat’ memes.

    And with the entry of Hina Mani, the memes didn’t stop.

    As episode 20 teaser reveals a big twist, let’s see what the Pakistani social media world comes up with next.

  • Five million views in 12 hours, Meray Paas Tum Ho’s new entry slaps a hit episode

    The moment we were all waiting for. There were rumours that Kubra Khan was going to play Shehwar’s (Adnan Siddiqui) wife who he has a terrible marriage with, but the episode ends with the entry of Maham, Shehwar’s domineering wife played perfectly by Savera Nadeem. Maham, a towering figure enters the episode and slaps Mehwish (Ayeza Khan) as she introduces herself to her about-to-become sautan.

    Maham’s entry has Anushay hiding in the corner

    The episode does have some difficult to understand situations. How did Shehwar suddenly decide to marry Mehwish after he had so adamantly said that marriage ruined love? There’s no explanation about his change of heart. And why is Roomi, Danish’s son, so fixated on getting his father married to Hania (Hira Mani)? The obsession stems from the fact that Danish obviously doesn’t want to get married and he will marry Hania because his son wants him to. Otherwise he wouldn’t be the true lover of love that he has been projected to be so far.

    Roomi trying for the hundredth time to get Hania to get his father to marry ‘another girl’. How she doesn’t know yet, that the girl is her, is very strange

    There’s also the concept of fake and real friends that plays into this episode. Danish is lucky to have a friend who is helping him with his work, staff that is helping him with his life. His life has literally changed in days and as he says to his friend, “log jubh aapse subh kuch cheen layte hain tou khush hojao, kyuinke Khuda tumhe sub kuch deyne wala hai,” (when people take everything from you, be happy. Because God is about to give you everything) and it seems like Danish is about to get everything.

    Danish and Roomi are happy with each other and getting loads of money

    But Mehwish is made of some strong stuff too. She doesn’t look or feel embarrassed when her friend Anoushey asks her about leaving her husband and child to have an affair with a married man. She takes it in stride and doesn’t pay any attention to the rumours (that are bound to be true) about Shehwar having forged his wife’s signatures and living in a house in her name.

    Mehwish doesn’t care at all about what people think of her

    Maham will take over the next episode and it’s going to be a brilliant one. With the already strong presence that Savera Nadeem exudes, she is the perfect person to play a woman who is not to be messed with. The only character that is still very weak is that of Hania. Hira Mani is playing the role like a dheemi beychari and compared to the other strong female characters, she’s coming across as not having a clue. Here’s to hoping that the writer didn’t have a beychari in mind for Danish and Hania develops into a character strong enough to take on the memory of Mehwish.

  • Meray Paas Tum Ho: Kya abh shaadi honay wali hai?

    Episode 16 isn’t coming slow and the teaser for Episode 17 has a lot more to promise.

    Danish (Humayun Saeed) after his hero act of beating up and threatening villian Shehwar (Adnan Siddiqui) has found a new love for being rash. The episode starts off with Danish hanging out with his son Rumi and it’s really hearwarming to see how their father son realtionship is blooming. It seems like their relationship has changed for the better since Mehwish (Ayeza Khan) left.

    Wedding is in the air for Danish as well as his son Rumi announces that Hania (Hira Mani) is the best girl for Danish and works on getting the both together till the end of the episode. What this loosely suggests is that Hania and Danish will most likely get married because it is the cute thing to do.

    Shehwar on the other hand is pissed off at Danish and feels kinf if onsulted at being beat up so badly. He tells Mehwish to go sort out her son’s issues herself and meanwhile finds out that his company is getting bankrupt and its shares have badly fallen.

    Rash Danish finds out that Shehwar’s company is in a temporary crisis and decides to invest all the lakhs he made for selling his house to buying shares in Shehwar’s company (which obviously means that he will take over Shehwar’s company one day). He also gets a really nice looking place on rent and decides to live a little.

    The fast paced episode is the perfect lead in to the teaser for Episode 17. Mehwish and Shehwar are getting married, it seems, and there’s a knock on Mehwish’s room door and we are willing to bet it’s Shehwar’s wife. Now thats what we are all waiting for.
