On hindsight, she wasn’t wrong in expecting that of a parent who holds the tough job of protecting their children, even against themselves. Sara’s breakdown over losing Farhan through her own fault was anticipated nevertheless it was heart wrenching to see her accuse her mother of not drilling some sense into her, which could have saved her marriage.
While one was raised without constraints in the lap of luxury with minimal lessons on right and wrong, the other was raised by a single parent as a witness to a father’s cruel neglect, struggling to make both ends meet, struggling to survive against all odds and make a better life. Their emotional upheaval struck a deep chord and left me shaken as a mother. Through the characters of Sara and Kashaf, the esteemed author Umera Ahmed, reiterated the immense power we hold over a child’s emotional well being as a parent. Just for that, this episode ranks high in my regard.Ĭoincidentally, telecast on an International Women’s day, this episode appealed to the woman in me, the wife, the daughter, the sister, and the mother in me. It carried more memorable moments than the previous episodes combined, those that gave us a new insight into each of the characters and left us feeling closer to them than we have ever been. It was one of those episodes that weigh you down emotionally but you come out feeling lighter for it. Never have the characters of ‘Zindagi Gulzar Hai’ spoken to me as clearly as they did through this episode.
