Mehram - Episode 17

Whereas the previous episode had some lol moments, this episode had quite a bit of happenings. As in what-the-heck-is-happening...

First - this behind Maya's back making fun of her cooking. Not that I have any love for Maya, but I'm starting to feel a whole new shade of resentment against Iqra. Don't make yourself and Hamza a team against Maya. #TeamMaya

This might be a personal thing - but how come Iqra is in front and Maya in the back?

Maya doesn't want to get out of the car because she's afraid of Areeb's parents and their reaction. Thankfully the dad comes and puts her mind to rest...

Fine. Let's hear this song. Again. Bechara Areeb is like a performing monkey.

Koi nahi haiii...koi nahiiiiiii. This stupid song is stuck in my head now. Stop it Areeb.

Areeb playing the guitar

What Areeb thinks he looks like playing the guitar...

What Areeb actually looks like while playing the guitar...

Did she put on like 30lbs between takes?

No no...this

My son is such an awesome musician - please marry him Iqra. 

All that wild gesticulation and weird facial expressions from dad. Aisa lagta hai in k paet me dard hai.

I'm not sure what I'm upset over - how these two are reacting (like absolute douches) or that over night I have become sympathetic to Maya and Areeb. 

What was Maya wearing?

Ufff. In uncle ki mujhe samjh nahi aati. Chanta then hug, ill-thought out proposal, and now some rubbish about how a woman's heart is a pearl in a block of ice.

Meanwhile, in the car...

You were thinking it too...haina?!

Him and his advises are a serious threat to my ability to continue watching this drama.

I'm surprised Areeb is still smiling...

You just got rejected a second time... Shouldn't you be locked in a room singing Koi nahi hai...koi nahiiiiii

Let's call a spade a spade. Just because you haven't been intimate doesn't mean your relationship is platonic. You claim to be married in name only, yet Iqra bosses over Hamza (and is sidelining Maya),and Hamza has his underwear in a knot because someone who thinks Iqra is single, is showing interest in her. This is ridiculous.

*raised eyebrow*

Let's keep things in perspective here - before you blame me for a dirty/suspicious mind - Hamza is a grown man 'devar' NOT a chota school-aged devar. In no universe would this be appropriate between a devar and bhabi. So again, let's call it as it is: you ARE married and you ARE acting married. 

My thoughts are exactly the same as your "dirty/suspicious mind" 

Come on Maya. Does someone need to spell it out for you?

I'm impressed with Maya's reaction.

  

That was very Mature of you...now if it was us, we'd probably be like...

Good. For. You! Atta girl! #TeamMaya

Do biwian rakho ge Hamza... With one not knowing that she is a second wife... Phir sar mai dard to hoga na.

Humare sar mai bhi aisa hi durd hota hai humza after every episode.

What is up with the acoustics in this house? Asia lug raga hai Iqra gajar nahi kaat rahi goliaan chala raho hai. khut khut khut

The only thing Hum TV got right in this episode: Masis and their annoying inquisitiveness.

Situation sambhaal nei mein kitna time lagay ga? I'm just curious - Iqra's biological clock is ticking and Areeb might want offspring...

So Maasi finds pages with Iqra's name on it in Areeb's room. Iqra crumples them up and starts to throw them. The illiterate maasi has to remind the Molvi ki beti that "Iqra" is a Quranic word. Seriously Maulvi sahab you havent trained your own daughter properly...doosron ko kya sikhate honge?

She just told her Masi (who can't read, but can read) to check to make sure Areeb didn't write her name anywhere else. Like the wall. (Really Iqra? The wall?)

Masi: Baji, yeh milla hei.

Iqra: HOW DARE HE MAKE ME A CD AND WRITE MY NAME ON IT!

Maya: *This woman has lost her mind*

Maybe he was designing the cover for the music album...the music album with your poetry composed into songs...the one you gave him permission for...think about that for a second Iqra bhabi.

oh!

his inner teenager has taken over his brain..

And once again Iqra is standing behind doors listening to other people's conversations

Agli episode tuk...hum dono ko Ijazat
