Jackson Heights - Episode 16

This relationship is troublesome from all angles. 
1 - Men and woman can't be 'just' friends. Fact of life. And if you don't beleive it, rewind a couple of episodes before they even started these cozy heart-to-hearts and Selma's pal was teasing her about Bhatti sahab being Selma's boyfriend. 
2 - Selma's husband is a number one sleeve bag. An abusive sleeve bag. [What's a sleeve bag? are you perhaps calling him a sleeze bag ;-)] And yet, she's sneaking around with Bhatti sahab. For arguement's sake, let's say Bhatti sahab didn't make his joke about his mom telling him off for not marrying Selma (real subtle there Bhatti), and they were really 'just friends' -- I would still bet my top dollar Selma's husband would beat Bhatti to a pulp. Just for sharing the air she breathed. Okay i think you're taking out kisee aur ka ghussa kisee aur pe Cough*Junaid*Cough. If Salma and Bhatti sahab didnt strike this wierd fraaandship with each other we wouldn't have this delicious drama to watch. They're both compensating for their useless spouses by confiding in each other. If Cathy wasn't such a hard nut and Sikander wasn't an abusive loser Salma and Bhatti sahab wouldn't need to be wierd friends.

 Let's take a minute to appreciate the fact that Amina Sheikh as Salma the beautician is a better psychologist than her husband Mohib Mirza was as Imroze from Firaaq. lol.

Personally I loved the heart to heart talk between bhatti sahab and salma. Until this happened...


Bhatti sahab is in full stalker mode in this episode.

After finding Salma's bag in his cab and recognising it, bhatti sahab rummages through it to find her ghar ka address...instead of doing the logical thing and just dropping it off at the salon the next day. I suppose bhatti sahab had to meet his Salma Ka Balma some day. 

This isn't what Selma's front door looked like when Alia came to *visit...

NO JUNAID! BAD JUNAID!
I prayed and prayed and prayed for this not to be the case. (Please excuse me while I have a little cry)

yup...love rat Junaid, using Bechari Michelle for getting an Amreekan passport. This is such a cliche

Sikandar calls Bhatti Sahab 'paindo' - hahaha. 

He stormed out. He was hurt. Michelle decides to continue to act like a doormat and makes him breakfast. OPEN YOUR EYES MICHELLE!!

The best nani in the whole wide world - in a den of jackals. Blood sucking, throat ripping jackals. Shame on them. 

There is probably a special place in hell reserved for sons and daughters in law like these

I want to reach into the screen and dump that salan on Junaid's smug little face. #Douchebag

HOW DARE YOU PRETEND EVERYTHING IS NORMAL YOU SCUM OF THE EARTH!!
He was totally manipulating her with his sob story about never having owned a camera. I'm expecting michelle to gift him a nice new camera next episode. 

I hope you're feeling a huge dose of guilt after hearing Michelle's story you jerk. 

I think he's a little scared that people who have previously betrayed Michelle have ended up dead or demented. Not a good sign for you junaid.

Baray tameezdaar underworld mafia se panga lia hei - they make phone calls demanding their money. 

Bhatti Sahab the jasoos. 

Totally evil of Bhatti Sahab to get info out of Aaliyah and then pretend with Salma that he was there to take her out for coffee

Bhatti Sahab firing on all cylinders


Amina Haq was absolutely phenomenal in this scene - doesn't your heart just bleed a little for her too here?

  Amina Haq?


                                                 

Give it a rest Bhatti Sahab. Go back home and suck up to your crazy wife Kathy so you can get your American passport.

Characters like Junaid are the reason Pakistani men have a bad name world wide. I HATE YOU JUNAID! :|
(Will my eyes ever be able to unsee these two holding hands??) 

Michelle is also to be blamed slightly here. She had a perfectly good proposal from her best friend of how many years. Mr Reliable Rizwan. She chooses to reject him and instead falls for the flirtatious charms (read youth and sexy good looks) of Mr No-Prospects-Illegal-Worker Junaid.


  
 Based on the Promo...the next episode will have a few fireworks. So excited.
