It would not be wrong to say that drama serial Raqeeb Se has my heart. Every new episode of it make us even more intrigued be it the story as whole or the characters.  In this episode we are introduced to a new character Kashif, we were hearing so much about this character in the previous episodes. He is Maqsood Sahab’s nephew. Insha’s mother tells Sakina that Kashif’s mother once wanted to make Insha his bride but now their preferences have changed with their change in social status. We are introduced to this interesting character Kashif who seems different than his parents and seems quite a sensible person. We see a cracking chemistry between him and Insha too. However Insha’s marriage is fixed with Abdul.

The way Maqsood Sahab fixes Abdul and Insha’s marriage speak volumes about his relationship with Insha, if she is his real daughter he would never agree to marry her off like that. Insha clearly feels this. Hajra repeatedly mentions that she and Insha must be grateful to Maqsood Sahab for all his favors. When Insha inquires which favor he has actually done to Hajra for which she is so grateful all her life, she clearly ignores her question. Ameera is getting too annoying and she also hints in this episode that she is too fancying Maqsood Sahab in some way.

Raqeeb Se – Inspiring Dialogue

The dialogues between Insha and Sakina are so inspiring. It would not be an exaggeration  that Insha is the most inspiring character in this play. Then the dialogues between Sakina and Maqsood Sahab are so heart touching. Hadiqa Kiani has mastered her role, her expressions and dialogue delivery is so on point. Every dialogue between Sakina and Maqsood Sahab and between Sakina and Hajra all come right from the heart. We have once again have fallen in love with the character of Hajra a woman so deprived of love yet she so whole heartily accepts Sakina in her life in fact she says she loves her. Instead of being bitter Hajra has accepted the fact that the love Maqsood Sahab has for Sakina can never be for her so she beautifully accepts it. The play ends at a twist when Insha introduces Sakina to Kashif reminding her that she is sister of your uncle’s murderer. Later Kashif discusses about this revenge to his mother. Well one wonders do revenge has any place in this beautiful love story ?
