“Jannat Se Aagay” explores the themes of identity, personal aspirations, and the potential consequences of idolizing others. The story follows the journey of Jannat and Tabassum as they navigate their dreams, relationships, and the inherent challenges of discovering their true selves.
Tabassum is a beautiful and compassionate young girl. She selflessly takes care of everyone in her family and even supports them financially by giving tuition to children from her neighbourhood. While she leads a simple life, there is one thing that brings her immense joy and inspiration: watching Jannat’s morning show on television.

Tabassum’s Dream Comes True
We finally see the long-awaited moment when Tabassum’s call gets through to her idol, but she’s left utterly starstruck, tongue-tied in front of her celebrity crush.

Jannat’s Predicament
Meanwhile, Jannat’s world is in a tizzy as she receives a call from her kids’ school, revealing not only a lunchbox laced with fungus but also social behavior issues. As if that isn’t enough, the teacher suggests that Jannat needs to dedicate more time to her children. Cue eye rolls and exasperation because, seriously, who has time for that in her world?
Jannat heads back home with a new episode concept in mind centered around school and staff. However, she walks into a scene that immediately shifts her focus. Shahnaz, the nanny, is munching on oranges and watching TV. Jannat, in her signature fashion, fires Shahnaz without even settling her dues. But hold on tight, because Shahnaz is no pushover. She threatens to expose the whole situation to the media, but Jannat isn’t fazed. She fires back with a threat to drag Shahnaz to court if she dares to spill the beans.
Jannat: Go ahead and report to media. I will drag you to court.

Flashback time!
Jannat comes home to see Noman eating alone. Their conversation leads to a lengthy flashback.
We dive into Noman’s painful humiliation at the hands of Ilahi Bakhsh Memon, a Federal Minister and a fan of Jannat. Dinner is hijacked, and Jannat is forced to engage with rich businessmen and ministers who can’t seem to keep their flirtatious remarks in check. Noman’s hurt and resentment are palpable, and it’s genuinely heart-wrenching to witness.
A Heavy Dose of Bitterness
Meanwhile, Tabassum’s exams are over, but Abid’s impending retirement leaves her anxious about their future. Her bitterness inadvertently affects Farooq, leaving him heartbroken.
A New Hope for Tabassum
Chanda, ever the connector, informs Tabassum about Jannat’s nanny predicament. Tabassum, willing to do anything to make her dreams come true, even contemplates the nanny job. She pens a letter to Jannat, expressing her desperation and her lack of luck when it comes to winning a pass for the show.
Chanda: Don’t be stupid when you work for Jannat
Tabassum: I didn’t get the show’s pass. I’m not lucky to get a job at Jannat’s
But we all know the tides are changing for Tabassum. The poster practically screams her destiny, and we don’t need Sherlock Holmes to deduce that. The future holds an exciting twist, and we’re all waiting with bated breath to see how Tabassum’s journey unfolds.
Review
This drama’s pace is like a rollercoaster ride I can’t get enough of. The immersive narrative has me hooked, and it’s about time I rekindled my connection with Umera Ahmed’s work.
In this episode, the plot thickens as we see our protagonists facing new challenges and revelations. The twists and turns are keeping us on the edge of our seats, wondering what’s going to happen next. The character development is impeccable, and I find myself invested in their journeys, flaws and all.
Now, let’s talk about Umera Ahmed. The last time I crossed paths with her work was “Sinf-e-Aahan,” not counting the nostalgic rewatch of “Zindagi Gulzar Hai.” Then came the novel “Daana Paani,” and I have to admit, it left me a tad disappointed. The prose was exquisite, as always, but the ending? Oh boy, it didn’t sit well with me. It’s like buying a decadent cake and finding a soggy bottom.
But here’s the twist. Just when I thought Umera Ahmed had lost her touch, “Jannat Se Aagay” comes along and completely changes my mind. The depth of the characters, the intricacies of their emotions, and the sheer unpredictability of the storyline have me re-evaluating my earlier verdict. Umera Ahmed seems to be back in her element, weaving a narrative that tugs at our heartstrings and keeps us pondering long after the episode ends.
The drama’s immersive quality is enhanced by the performances of the cast, who are bringing their A-game to the screen. Each episode leaves us yearning for more, and the wait for the next installment feels like an eternity.
As we move forward, I’m excited to see how the story unfolds. The drama’s ability to delve into complex emotions and moral dilemmas is what sets it apart. With each episode, “Jannat Se Aagay” reaffirms that Umera Ahmed’s narrative prowess is very much intact.
So, my fellow drama enthusiasts, if you’re craving a drama that’s not afraid to explore the depths of human emotions while maintaining a thrilling pace, “Jannat Se Aagay” is the one to watch. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions, and I’m strapped in, ready for the next exhilarating twist.
Until next time, happy drama watching, my friends!
