Their mother is the only character who seems genuinely conflicted, as she tries to balance and consider the best interests of all her children.įollowing the phenomenal success of “Humsafar”, director Sarmad Sultan Khoosat and actor Mahira Khan reunite once again for “Shehr e Zaat”. However, I feel like most of the characters are too black-and-white, like Sadaf who never wavers in her principles and Mehak and Fareed, who are always inconsiderate and selfish.

It’s clear that the motivation behind each character’s actions, good or bad, is the harshness of poverty, and this drama serial underlines how extreme circumstances can potentially distort one’s morality, ethics and humanity. First he wasn’t available when his sister needed blood and then he stole the money needed for her surgery because he couldn’t see past his own myopic desire to escape the difficulties of living in Pakistan and move to Australia. Two major deaths in one episode! In one day, Sadaf loses her sister and her grandfather, and Fareed is pretty much responsible for both. We knew Fareed and Mehak are beyond selfish, but Fareed hit a new low when he stole the money meant for Deeba’s operation and practically murdered his grandfather, who tried to stop him from doing so in the process.
Sadaf is completely devastated by her brother’s betrayal when she finally learns he got expelled from university seven months ago and she’s been paying for his fees and other expenses this whole time. We then learn that he’s been leeching money off of Sadaf to pay a friend who has promised to help him get to Australia. Sadaf’s sister Deeba is in the hospital and requires a blood donation from Fareed but he’s unreachable. Interestingly, earlier in the episode when Aazi (his actual son), needed money for this same wedding he said he didn’t have any! I get that Kathy is much more loving than his own children have ever been but it would be more believable if their relationship had developed over some time. He keeps saying “meri beti ki shaadi hai” and is offended when Kathy gives money for the wedding because it’s his responsibility to pay for his “daughter’s” wedding. It’s a little implausible that Aazi’s father warmed up to Kathy the moment they met (at the end of episode 5).
Aazi’s friends then get stuck in the mess he made after Sumbal needs to be taken to the hospital, and circumstances push Sajid to fabricate a story about Sumbal being Maulvi’s wife. Now with the money in hand, it seems like everything is set until the ghosts of girlfriends past come back to haunt Aazi as Sumbal is not giving up and runs away from home to be with him.
The innocent and gullible Kathy duly dishes out $2,000. Sajid’s wife Naheed goes about trying to trick Kathy by fooling her that in Pakistan, the bride has to pay for everything: outfit, jewellry, valima, etc. Aazi and Kathy’s nuptials seem doomed as Aazi has no money for the wedding and Aazi’s brother-in-law won’t give his sister Sakina permission to attend.
