He is someone who cannot even remotely relate to the kind of life that Kashaf lives. On the contrary Zaroon believes “zindagi kiya khoobsurat cheez hai”. She definitely scored an A+ on my list today. Besides, Sanam Saeed did a commendable job of convincing me at least that she was the perfect choice for playing Kashaf. I absolutely loved Kashaf’s character because honestly speaking I know a few people like that who will never be happy with life no matter what. Kashaf does not believe in making “khiyalai palao” when in reality there is daal for dinner but when there actually is meat for lunch Kashaf does not eat it because it reminds her of her mother’s toota huva chashma and bag and all the struggle she has done all through her life. How can a girl who is so negative come this far? I could not help but wonder that! Maybe because Kashaf is not just negative but also very practical and that must have been the driving force behind her success.

Kashaf has also worked very hard herself too to get where she is today.

There are reasons for Kashaf feeling this way a father (Waseem Abass) who does not care about his family because he has another family to look after and that is the family he is more interested in and a mother(Samina Peerzada) who Kashaf loves dearly, therefore she cannot see her working so hard to make ends meet. Although she never expected to get into the university in which only the rich and famous get admission but when she did we did not see her thanking God or being happy about it even for one second, simply because Kashaf believes that she does not deserve to be happy. According to Kashaf “moajzay sirf defence aur Clifton mei hotay hai”, I found this particular dialogue so very amusing! Kashaf wakes up in the morning dreading the fact that she will have to change two different rides before she finally gets to the University. Kashaf ke liye “zindagi aik buhat bara masla hai”, everything about Kashaf’s life bothers her and she does not believe in hoping for any better for the future. I found it very interesting the way they are poles apart and also the manner in which it was shown. I simply loved the characterization of Kashaf (Sanam Saeed) and Zaroon ( Fawad Khan) both. First of all let’s talk about what I liked about this first episode. This first episode introduced the viewers to almost all the characters that we will be seeing in the play. Finally the much awaited play went on air and I have to say that I found myself counting minutes today.
