With 19 and 20th Episodes down, Phaans has taken a different turn, to be honest the whole story seems flawed and Sahil’s character is not at all believable. How come a guy who already is so affluent can conceal  his monstrous side all his life and pretend to be an autistic just because he wants to rape his helps? Is that really possible for anyone to disguise himself as autistic person all his life in front of all his family all the time? Sahil and his family is shown so affluent and influential that if he in his normal state commits such kind of act he can easily get away from it using his power and influence then why he takes all the pains of acting as an innocent boy in front of her mother and sisters? This does not make any sense at all!

Our initial suspicion on Siraaj is cleared when Siraaj himself confesses in front of his daughters that he has not raped Zeba. He confesses that he used to be a characterless person before but after his marriage to her mother he has left all his habits and he try to be a nice person. Well if it is true that why he is acting so creepily with Resham? Why he is being too close to her, grabbing her arm even if he wants to warn her from Sahil? Never ever for a single second they have shown Sahil’s true self even when he is alone locked in bedroom or when he was stalking Zeba, there is no hint of his normal expressions. This is the main flaw of the play.

Sahil’s mother sees true beastly self of Sahil when he is grabbing Resham and she is in a state of utter shock.  The way Sahil tries to convince his mother shows how cunning he is but Nadia clearly knows his true side now. Will she still going to protect her son knowing about his ugly side? Or will she going to help out Zeba taking her side in getting justice for her? Things have cleared quite much in 20th episode when Hashim shares that he has himself seen Sahil raping Zeba and then he is scared because Sahil has threatened him. Well Hashim confession is quite useless but eventually he will going to be witness for the crime. Samad’s mother has turned soft for Zeba, she offers her to live with her as it is very risky for her to live alone in the house. Sahil is feeling triumphed as he is thinking that he is successful in convincing his mother, well in real he has not.
