0:18What was the need to talk so much before them?
0:23Such nice people, such a nice manā¦
0:26Slipped away from our hands.
0:28If the nice man liked Iqbal so muchā¦
0:32Then he should have said that he will change himself for Iqbal.
0:35He refused and left instead.
0:37Itās the woman who changes herselfā¦. the woman
0:40How would you know.
0:41You areā¦
0:44If a woman is rightā¦
0:46Why should she change herself for someone?
0:49And as you sayā¦
0:51They wanted her to become shameless like me.
0:54She wasted all our efforts.
0:57Such nice marriage proposal slipped out of our hands.
1:00Why do you worry so much?
1:02Honestly speakingā¦
1:03I did not like this proposal much.
1:05There was no information about their family or castā¦
1:08And they were not from our community as well.
1:09If Mudassir will get to knowā¦
1:11He will taunt a lot.
1:14Uncle lives in his own houseā¦
1:16Why is he talking about us?
1:18What is Mudassir brotherās problem?
1:21I havenāt forgotten about, what you guys did to my Surayya.
1:25I have called you because you are Iqbalās sisterā¦
1:28And you donāt complain later that we separated the sisters.
1:32Mudassir worries because he considers you guys as his own.
1:35I will talk to Fatherā¦
1:37Iqbal is not a burden on us.
1:40Iqbal will get married in the family, we will inquire properly and thoroughly.
1:46We canāt get her married to a random person.
1:49We wonāt send her with anyone.
1:50Who is there in the family?
1:52Half of her life has passed in this ordeal.
1:55What is left now?
1:58You are exactly right, Razia.
2:02Well done!
2:07You all have become influenced by your American daughter in law.
2:09I am going to Father.
2:11I will talk to him in detail.
2:14Firdaus, we have become wise and nothing else.
2:17You also change yourself.
2:19Or you might have to get Hamid and Husna married out of the community.
2:23Sometimes, our own deeds come back to us.
2:25No matter what you sayā¦
2:27I have even a better marriage proposal for my sister than this one.
2:30I will talk to Father.
2:43Sir!
2:48Yes
2:49Sir, Mr. Hashmat called.
2:51Stop it.
2:52Huh.
2:52What is it?
2:54Mr. Hashmat will come todayā¦
2:55What should I tell him?
2:57I have talked to Mr. Hashmat just now.
2:58What did he say?
2:59What he saidā¦let me enjoy that for a bit.
3:02Thank God a million.
3:04You do one thingā¦
3:05Bring two mix teaā¦
3:07One for yourself and one for meā¦go.
3:10Carry on.
3:15Did you take the correct measurements?
3:17Come on.
3:30Mr. Basharat!
3:32Your sister ā¦
3:34is upset with us.
3:36Why Father?
3:38What have we done?
3:40She thinksā¦
3:42In fact, her honorable husbandā¦
3:45Mr. Mudassir thinks
3:46that we haveā¦
3:48Ignored the family traditions and customsā¦
3:52And have adopted new practices.
3:56What have we done?
3:58Tell me Father.
3:59Because we have thought to get our daughter Iqbal married out of the community.
4:05Firdaus!
4:06Go and tell your husband Mudassirā¦
4:09The scene he had created in my houseā¦
4:11And the way he blamed my daughter Surayyaā¦I havenāt forgotten about it yet.
4:16And remember one thingā¦
4:18These are our family decisionsā¦
4:20And we are free to take our own decisions.
4:26We are not answerable to the family or to your husband.
4:29I am very ashamed at what Mudassir didā¦
4:33But what you guys are about to do,
4:35we will be embarrassed before the entire community and family.
4:39And I will not be able to bear my Father and brotherās embarrassment.
4:43So, what should we do?
4:45Should we keep innocent Iqbal at home?
4:47I did not say this.
4:48What have you said then?
4:50I have a proposal in mind.
4:54Who?
4:55Mudassirās sister, Shakeela sisterā¦
4:57Her brother in law.
4:58His wife passed away two months back.
5:00That?
5:01That 60-year-old man?
5:03Donāt you feel ashamed of saying this?
5:05Basharat brother, donāt say this.
5:06He is not 60-year-old.
5:08If not 60, he must be a year less than 60.
5:1120 years older than Iqbal!
5:13A Father of grown-up girls.
5:15Iqbal wonāt get a bachelor of her age.
5:19Our sister is a divorceeā¦
5:21And this is the reality.
5:23She can get a bachelor of her ageā¦
5:26But ā¦
5:27He wonāt be 20 years older than Iqbal.
5:30Who?
5:30The ones who brought the proposal?
5:32They have left.
5:33Your American daughter in law has taunted them and made them runaway.
5:36She did well.
5:38She did very well.
5:40I will not let my daughter get married to someoneā¦
5:44Whose wife died by chance ā¦.
5:49and my daughterās fate brightened up.
5:53I will get my daughter marriedā¦.
5:55to someoneā¦
5:57Who will not take advantage or is helpless.
6:00Who will give respect, affection and love.
6:05Fatherā¦
6:06Where will you find such a person from?
6:11I have found one with Godās blessings.
6:16You andā¦
6:17Mudassir may come on Sunday if you wish to.
6:19I will fix Iqbalās marriage andā¦
6:24Will fix the wedding date on that day too.
6:30Father, who are you talking about?
6:33I am talking about Dilshad Zulfi.
6:39Naveedās childhood friend? Him?
6:44What?
6:45Father!
6:47Naveed brotherās rowdy friend who used to visit our house during our childhood?
6:51Sometimes to get a kite and sometimes to ask for curry.
6:54Are you getting Iqbal married to him?
6:58Your brother Basharat also used to catch kites in the streets during his childhoodā¦
7:03Ahem..
7:04And used to stay at the neighborās house for food.
7:08If I tell you about Mudassirās childhood storiesā¦
7:12Hmph
7:12You will not believe me.
7:15Actuallyā¦When the childhood passesā¦
7:18Someone ā¦.
7:20molds himself in a negative wayā¦
7:23Some adapt a positive attitude.
7:27Actuallyā¦Childhood habits ā¦.
7:29should not become oneās nature.
7:32If the innocent mischievous actsā¦
7:35Turn into a generous mindset, then what could be better?
7:40I canāt understand Father, what are you doing?
7:44Neither education, nor familyā¦
7:46And you are getting my sister married to a personā¦
7:48I ā¦
7:50know Dilshad Zulfi ā¦
7:53very well now.
7:57He is a very nice manā¦
7:59And for Iqbalā¦.
8:01He will be appropriate.
8:03Mudassir will taunt me so much and will make my life hell.
8:07Father, donāt you worry about me at all?
8:10What do you want then?
8:12Should I worry about you?
8:15And I should not take care of innocent Iqbal at all?
8:17I did not say so.
8:19We do have Anwer brotherās marriage proposal.
8:21Stop it.
8:25Anwer, Anwer, Anwer.
8:26Donāt you dare take Anwerās name anymore.
8:29Whatever Father is doing is absolutely right.
8:38Father whatever is your commandā¦
8:40You have taken the correct decision.
8:44With Godās willā¦
8:46Everything will be fine.
9:01You saved me from this proposalā¦
9:04But how will you save me from sisterās proposal?
9:07Iqbal why do you worry?
9:09This time, only what you want will happen.
9:15I had thought the bestā¦
9:20I am sorry, Iqbal.
9:26What happened?
9:30Did Father agree to what Sister suggested?
9:32Such a nice proposalā¦
9:34Could not be fixed because of this foolish girl.
9:37Due to this problem and out of hasteā¦Fatherā¦
9:40Did he accept Firdausās proposal?
9:48It would have been better if he would have accepted that.
9:52What has Grandfather done then?
9:54Your Fatherās friendā¦Zulfiā¦
9:58He has fixed the marriage with him.
10:02Neither did he take our advice, nor asked or informedā¦
10:05Within no timeā¦
10:07And your brother Basharatā¦
10:09He also become Fatherās companion.
10:17I am sorry Iqbalā¦
10:20I couldnāt do anything for you.
10:24No sister in lawā¦
10:25Its not your fault.
10:28I wish,
10:29I could have done something Iqbal.
10:33Grandfather has taken this decisionā¦
10:35And no one can challenge his decision, isnāt it?
10:40This is actually the problem.
10:42Otherwise,
10:43Dawood would have refused your proposal.
10:47If Grandfather would not have forced and David would have refusedā¦
10:51How would you have gotten such a nice daughter in law?
10:53Oh come on.
10:54I am worried about Iqbalā¦and youā¦
10:56You donāt worryā¦
10:57Zulfi is a very nice person.
11:00He is very loving and he will take very good care of Iqbal.
11:03He is my friend and I guarantee you.
11:06When will you end up with your nonsense?
11:10Once Iqbal gets married to Zulfiā¦
11:12He will become your Uncle Father in law.
11:15No way!
11:16Would I have to call him Zulfi Uncle?
11:19Iqbal, whether you like it or notā¦
11:21I will call him Zulfi only.
11:26By the wayā¦I donāt get one thingā¦
11:30How did Father think about Zulfi?
11:33Who told him about this proposal?
11:37You should ask Grandfather thisā¦
11:41He will tell you clearly.
11:43I should ask Father?
11:46No wayā¦
11:47I canāt do this.
11:53Oh my God!
11:56I am so happy for you, Iqbal.
11:58Let me talk to Zulfi onceā¦
11:59Then I will let you talk to him.
12:01No, no,
12:03I donāt want to talk to him.
12:05Aww
12:08You are still feeling shy?
12:10You are getting married to Zulfi.
12:20Mmmā¦cute!
12:42What happened?
12:50Which was a fearā¦
12:54What fear?
12:57Iqbalās marriage has been fixed.
13:00Marriage?
13:03With whom?
13:05The marriage proposal that Razia had mentioned.
13:08Grandfather, Firdausā¦
13:10Everybody liked him.
13:16Andā¦
13:17What about Iqbal Aunty?
13:22What can the poor soul do?
13:24She will spend her life with an unwanted person.
13:29This isā¦
13:33This is very bad.
13:36And you did not do anythingā¦
13:39I am amazed.
13:42What could I do?
13:43I mean, with you being presentā¦
13:45Iqbal aunty and Zulfiās love
13:50Will remain incomplete?
13:52You, yourself sayā¦
13:54That it is not important to give your opinion in every matter.
13:57And here, everybody obeys what the elderly want.
14:00And Grandfather wants this actually, so I couldnāt say anything.
14:04And since I am living here so ā¦.
14:07I should learn the customs and traditions so thatā¦I can make place in everyoneās heart.
14:21So, I thought I will not say anythingā¦
14:24And will think about myself.
14:28Kaneez Fatima, are you feeling ok?
14:39Oh God!
14:41Its so easy to make a fool out of you.
14:48Kaneez Fatima, are you feeling ok?
14:51Go ahead and laugh.
14:54Let me tell you something.
14:57Lovers are fools.
15:11Hmmā¦
15:14Good.
15:19By the wayā¦
15:22You have turned the impossible into possible, Kaneez Fatima.
15:29Since you have comeā¦
15:32Everything has changed...
15:35Do you think so?
15:37Yes, I am telling the truth.
15:40If you would not have come thenā¦
15:42We would not have found out about Iqbal Auntyās love andā¦
15:46She would have forcefully gotten married to someone else.
15:51And if, you would not have come thenā¦
15:55Surayyaā¦.
15:56out of frustrationā¦
15:58would have taken a wrong step
16:06And if you would not have come thenā¦
16:09How would I have found outā¦
16:12That a modern girl from abroadā¦
16:16Could be honest and simple too.
16:22And my love would also have been left incomplete.
16:31And if I would not have gotten youā¦
16:35Then I would never have been able to think good about Pakistan and the men here.
16:43You have changed my mindset.
16:47Thank you for that.
16:54Andā¦
16:59Will you not say anything about my love?
17:03Umhm.
17:06I thinkā¦
17:08To explain loveā¦.
17:11words are not needed.
17:16Wow!
17:17I have said something so poetic.
17:23In phase of solitude,
17:25Words are not required
17:27For loversā¦
17:28Just a glance is enough
17:32I also know a little poetry.
17:38True.
17:41Zulfi my dear, many congratulations!
17:44You finally got Iqbal.
17:46This is all because of Kim.
17:49For my long-lost loveā¦.
17:51The need and craving that I hadā¦Only she understood
17:54Yes, I know.
17:55Take care of her, keep her happy.
17:58When I took care of the memories of a person so muchā¦.
18:02when I will finally have herā¦.
18:04Imagine how much I am going to take care of that person
18:08Wow, wonderful.
18:11Naveedā¦I called you to congratulate you on my marriage with Iqbalā¦.
18:18And I wanted to tell you thatā¦
18:20I am giving Kim her passport.
18:22I had sent the passport thinking that if she is unable to adjustā¦Then give her the passport.
18:27But if she has adjustedā¦
18:30Then she should spend some time with her Husbandā¦.
18:33And let her be there.
18:35I feel, Kimās decision ā¦.
18:37should be as per her own will.
18:40Whether she lives here or she doesnātā¦
18:42The reason shouldnāt beā¦helpless or necessity.
18:47If she wants to leave ā¦
18:49and she cannot leaveā¦
18:53The reason behind it shouldnāt be the passportā¦
18:56Rather, it should be Dawoodās love.
18:58That is what I am scared ofā¦
19:00That she might return even if she is in love.
19:03There is love for other things also that attracts a person towards itself.
19:07That is the test.
19:09And now let Kim ā¦.
19:11go through this test.
19:13If things get messed up, then just give her the passport.
19:17Ok,
19:19Bye.
19:20Ok my friend,
19:21Bye ā¦bye.
19:40Hello!
19:45Really Zulfi?
19:48Ok, I am coming to your house.
19:50Bye!
19:53What happened?
19:54Letās go to Zulfiās house, I will tell you there.
20:06Your Father has lost his mind.
20:09That Zulfi is a useless, jobless manā¦.
20:13Who has a small and an ordinary book shop.
20:17He is giving Iqbalās hand in marriage to him.
20:20Even if he didnāt consider the family and casteā¦.He should at least have considered his status.
20:24I tried to explain it to himā¦
20:26But God knows, what has happened to Father.
20:28Neither will I attend the wedding precession nor I will attend the reception.
20:31And you also donāt need to go.
20:33Hey!
20:34Iqbal is my sister.
20:36Let me go for her sakeā¦Donāt stop me from going.
20:39No, this is my last word!
20:44Learn to get respected and get your Husband respected as well.
20:48They refused the proposal that we suggested.
20:51They are breaking all the customs and traditions.
20:54Father, you are not doing the right thing.
20:56You keep quiet, this is none of your business, dear.
20:58You are talking bad about Grandfatherā¦
21:01You are talking wrong about Kimā¦
21:04You are stopping Mother from going to Grandfatherās houseā¦
21:06All this is not right.
21:08Just think about it, if someone talks bad about you in front of meā¦
21:12If someone stops me from meeting you, how will I feel?
21:15Youā¦
21:16donāt know the maternal side of your familyā¦They are very clever and cunning people.
21:21I know them and I know you as well, Father.
21:24I am not concerned with however they areā¦
21:28I am only concerned about you.
21:30All I am concerned about is; that people should have a good opinion about you.
21:35Nobody should call you a bad person.
21:42Who can call your Father a bad person?
21:56Today, you are calling Motherās Father a bad personā¦
21:59What if I find such a person in future?
22:04Father, stop worrying about others.
22:09Grandfather,
22:10Aunty, Uncle,
22:11Kimā¦. What is going on in their house, is none of our business.
22:15Our concern is only our family mattersā¦
22:19And not otherās.
22:32Fine.
22:38Fine.
22:43We have nothing to do with them.
23:00Iqbalās marriage proposal will be finalized tomorrowā¦
23:03And next week her wedding precession and reception.
23:06I am thinking about ā¦
23:08booking a ticket after two weeks.
23:11And return?
23:13One way.
23:15You will not return?
23:19You will come to me over there.
23:21You are repeating the same thing.
23:22Same stubbornness again.
23:31Kaneez Fatima,
23:33itās not stubbornnessā¦
23:35I just made a promise, a commitment with myself.
23:40What kind of commitment?
23:49When I was a kidā¦
23:52Grandfather often used to tell me about Uncle Naveedā¦
23:59That one of his most capable nephews went to America to studyā¦
24:06And he never came back.
24:11A ā¦
24:13A strange feeling of sorrow
24:15discomfort ā¦
24:17and ā¦
24:19the feeling of losing someoneā¦I could sense that in his words
24:23One of his sorrowsā¦
24:25was losing his nephewā¦
24:28And the other was aboutā¦
24:30what Naveed Uncle did with Aunty Khursheed.
24:36Thenā¦
24:37when I got admission into the medical collegeā¦
24:43I made a promise to myself, I made a commitmentā¦
24:50That I will never leave my country.
24:54Whatever I will study, I will learnā¦
24:58I will return it here.
25:00I will serve my people.
25:10You knowā¦.
25:13That all the boys in my batchā¦
25:16They all went abroad.
25:18Some went to America,
25:19Some to Londonā¦.
25:22All the cream left.
25:25This isā¦
25:26This is called brain drain.
25:31Onlyā¦.
25:32Only, me and ā¦.
25:35a few people like me ā¦.
25:37stayed back here.
25:42I really respect your commitment, David.
25:49But if you talk realisticallyā¦
25:53You should have left.
25:57There are a lot of chances to progress in America.
26:00The future is there.
26:02What do you have here? Nothing.
26:06I think you took an impulsive decision.
26:16Every country has impulsive people like meā¦.
26:20Who are helping in keep that country going.
26:25They might be less in quantity but they are good in quality.
26:30That is the reason I am sayingā¦
26:31You are such a capable personā¦
26:34People donāt value you here.
26:40Regard and value ā¦
26:42is only in your own country.
26:46You are the King in your own territory.
26:49You are just a second-class citizen abroad.
26:52You are misunderstanding America.
26:59If I would have gone to Americaā¦
27:03How would I have met you?
27:12I have gotten you because I am in Pakistan.
27:47You look nice.
27:51Yes, but it is very difficult to carry these clothes.
27:58By the wayā¦
28:00It is strange that you wore these clothes without me asking for it.
28:07You dress nicely.
28:14I didnāt dress up for you.
28:16I dressed up for Iqbal and Zulfi.
28:19Fineā¦
28:21this wayā¦.
28:23this poor man was also heard
28:36Thank you Uncleā¦
28:38You found Brother Zulfi compatible for your Daughter.
28:42Who am I to consider someone compatible or incompatible?
28:49Mr. Dilshadās honesty has proved him.
28:53Next Friday,
28:55we will have the wedding procession with simplicity.
29:00Do you agree?
29:05Yes, I agree.
29:13With your permission, we want to do the ring ceremony.
29:17Please carry on, in the name of God.
29:19Zulfi should put the ring on her finger.
29:24No,
29:25Sister will do that.
29:43Congratulations!
29:45She was my friend earlier,
29:47now she is going to be my sister-in-law.
29:49We are very lucky that we found you.
29:53We are also very lucky that we found a guy like Zulfi.
29:59By the way, will they keep talking indirectly orā¦Will they talk to each other directly as well?
30:09Kaneez Fatima,
30:11have some regard for the elders.
30:13The elders should also think about themā¦.
30:16They should get their space.
30:22I think dinner has been served, we should go and eat.
30:27Zulfi and Iqbal,
30:29You both can join us after some time.
31:04I read a lot of books.
31:07I can do a little poetry as wellā¦
31:13Butā¦
31:16today neither my emotionsā¦
31:18nor my words are in my control.
31:26Are you happy?
31:31I thinkā¦
31:34I have never been happier beforeā¦
31:41I will always keep you this happy.
31:50Iqbal Zulfiā¦Please join us
32:04Aaaā¦
32:49Wait for a little while.
32:52Let me seeā¦.
32:54Else, you will wear the same boring jeans again.
33:08This is how I am.
33:12Canāt you change yourself for me?
33:19As long as, I am not mentally prepared and ā¦.
33:22my heart is not convincedā¦
