Essentially, Arfeen’s mother, at that moment committed one of the gravest sins, just so that her plan may be successful. She swears to the Quran that she SAW, with her own two eyes, that Saba cheated on her husband with her cousin, Adil. This scene sets her up to be one of the greatest villains to have existed, like ever.

Unlike Khirad, Saba fights her husband’s fragile trust in her and also pushes him on his blind trust of whatever his mom says. She remains silent as this happens to her however when she confronts Arfeen, it becomes a whole other story. Saba is dragged outside the house and physically hit by Arfeen’s father. The entire drama really does climax at this point. The plots of both shows truly intersect at the scene of ‘infidelity’, or rather the accusation of it. Arfeen is able to force his parents into accepting Saba as their bahu, but of course, his mom has other plans. The most ruckus about this is created by none other than Arfeen’s mother. This fact is played up when Saba falls in love with and decides to marry her cousin Arfeen, the entire khandaan is against this union. She is portrayed as someone with liberal views something her family largely disagrees with. It uses the lives of the new generation to begin a flashback. MZZB, however, does a better job of creating an interesting narrative and storyline. The actual plots of both shows are obviously more complex.


The lives of the former couple are ruined and they both lead rather sad lives until the guy finds out that his own mom lied to him! Through manipulation, the mother accuses the female protagonists of cheating on their husbands, leading to a divorce. ‘ Meri Zaat Zarra E Benishaan’ ( referred as MZZB in this rest of this article, because well the name is too long) hit TV screens about 2 years before ‘ Humsafar‘, and well for anyone who has seen both shows- the storylines are pretty similar.īoth shows feature a couple, whose marriage is looked down upon by the guy’s mother. While it truly was an amazing show, another show is often forgotten. Humsafar is often regarded as one of the defining dramas of Pakistani television in recent years. Meri Zaat Zarra E Benishaan is an incredibly underrated show.
