The nooze tightening around horrible Maya’s (Sanam Jung) neck is her own doing. Busy with her extra-marital affair with ex-husband Salman (Ali Safina) and being nasty to people, Maya doesn’t quite realise that husband Junaid (Mikaal Zulfiqar) had already smelt a rat and was closely watching her. Allured by Salman’s promise of a wealthy lifestyle, she asks Junaid to divorce her while the selfish Salman, who is not prepared to be a father to Junaid’s child, pressurises Maya to abort the baby. With a speck of sense in her head, Maya refuses to abort her baby and walks out of the clinic in a huff, but the villainous Salman actually trips her and Maya falls flat on her snooty face. If that doesn’t make you LOL, Ali Safina’s evil smile certainly will.

It’s raining rom-coms on television and the Ramazan drama serials we are watching have, delightfully, so far managed to steer far away from regressive narrative tropes like sister rivalry, the archaic saas-bahu-aur-saazish formula, premarital heartaches and despicably banal extra-marital affairs.
This Ramazan, Pakistani mainstream television has turned to light, youthful and desi romantic comedies to brighten your evenings post iftar. These family friendly rom-coms, which are a genre of their own, come at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic has brought about massive misery with personal and professional losses. Thus as content consumers, we’re enjoying the respite these three Ramazan serials have to offer.
