Tau Dil ka kiya hua

TDKKH episode 14 and 15:

I watched these two episodes a day apart and I'm glad it just so happened for me, because they were connected to each other and the latter explained the former. This was also farewell to Mansha, who captured our hearts by being Dariya. The story is intricate, the dialogues are well written, profound, and meaningful and utmost attention has been given to the situation, ambiance, and execution, that translates well into a beautiful canvas on screen.

The story's narrative is such that Faris's character is surrounded by all sorts of love, and they are all intertwined with each other like a web. Faris is like a spider who is spinning a web of love around him, and it's yet to be seen which "fly" he catches at the end. It is important to understand the true meaning of love, because be it Maya, Dariya, or Zoya, Faris loves them all. Isn't it love that he wants to stop Dariya from leaving him at any cost, that he went to the extreme of proposing to her with half heart? Why was he so happy to see Maya guilty, but then couldn't see her cry? That he calls Zoya at the drop of a hat? I had said it before, that Faris's indifference towards Maya would be the only valid proof that he has stopped caring for her.

Faris did not want to marry Dariya, ever! Dariya on the other hand, had failed to understand right till the very end, thanks to Siraj Uncle, who made it impossible for Dariya to move on. Had he not coerced her, she may not have moved out of Faris's life. Why is it so hard to appreciate a platonic relationship between a man and a woman by our elders?

Every single character is brilliantly written, and acted superbly, I don't even know where to start from. Ayeza's Maya is a character that you have a love hate relationship with. One cannot help but smile when she had the intimate conversation with her sister in last episode; which was one of the best scenes so far. It was a sweet and tender moment between the two sisters, one you would cherish forever! Both Ayeza and Noor were brilliant, and their chemistry was adorable. Ayeza, especially has brought Maya to life; I cannot imagine anyone else playing Maya with such conviction. One moment she was apologetic to her sister, uttering sweet, cute words to her little sister, and the next moment she turns vicious and would do anything to get back at her sister; Ayeza's acting was convincing each time!

I loved the scenes between Faris and Zoya in both episode. How can I not? They are absolutely adorable, with fire cracking chemistry that you wish would never diminish from irradiating it's brilliance! There is something unique about their relationship; I believe that Faris's two time proposal to Zoya, calling her, texting, and then finally admitting to Maya that he doesn't love Dariya and then his mind suddenly thinking about Zoya that exact moment when he muttered "ab shayad lag raha hai keh ho jayegi mohabbat," made him realize that he loves her. Or maybe it was the instant when he called Zoya to ask her what to reply to Maya, made him grasp the importance of Zoya in his life. All being said, I honestly wanted to see an exact moment of realization, which is something that made many confused, including me initially, until I thought more deeply.

Imran Ashraf was outstanding in both the scenes with Maya and Zoya, and I am looking forward to more of his interactions with Maya; they would be fun to watch no doubt! I am sure he will marry Maya and then refuse to divorce her, clearing the way for Zoya. Maybe we can see a desi version of "Taming of the Shrew!"

Sami Khan has owned the entire show, period. I have been mesmerized by his performance in the entire series, and these episodes were no different. He has chemistry with every single character, be it the three women, Tipu, or Siraj Uncle and even Zahra Aunty! His vivid expressions, intense gaze, dialogue delivery, body language, vulnerability, anger, in fact everything is absolutely exceptional, rendering the character of Faris to life. I am totally convinced that no other actor could have played Faris with such conviction as Sami Khan.

Finally, Mansha Pasha's Dariya will be remembered as one of her best performances. Her Dariya was someone every girl can relate to, in one way or another! Adios mi amiga!
