Doctor Bahu Episode 12 Written Update and Review

Okay, so the big secret that Sania learned was that Dr Shahnawaz does hera pheri in the charity he receives. She tells this to Salman, because…why not (they do argue first, though, for being conceited etc.) Then, Salman yells at Sania. Hold that thought.

Farheen tries to talk to Shahnawaz to cancel Sania’s punishment…I mean, double shift. Shahnawaz asks Farheen to stay out of “his” hospital and the matters involving “his” hospital. Hold that thought.

Faizan gets a call from Ambar. He had asked for some time to decide about nikaah, right? Ambar tells him that if he doesn’t marry her the next morning, she’ll catch a flight to Germany (she must have plans, I mean aise nahin ki kahin bhi chali gayi). Faizan says he can’t take a decision on such short notice, and then someone takes the phone from Faizan. Mina. She tells Ambar to… basically tells Ambar to F-off.

And all these things happen almost at the same time. Farheen hears Salman yelling at Sania, she steps out of the house and runs into Faizan instead. Mina tells on Faizan. Faizan gets a slap from Farheen.

Shahnawaz then comes and takes Faizan to his room for a talk. Farheen takes Salman and Sania to their room for a talk.

Long story short, Farheen tells Sania the corruption story is BS, also uses the opportunity to remind Sania kitne prestigious family mein shaadi huyi hai uski. Sania requests Farheen to not tell Shahnawaz. Farheen promises.

And then she calls Zainab and Riyaz over for breakfast and spills her gut about this. Shahnawaz doesn’t know her but I have full faith Farheen WILL break her promise and tell on Sania. Sania has a day off and she tags along with Mina. Because…why not. Sasur ka hospital hai.

Ambar visits the hospital because Faizan’s phone was unreachable (it was confiscated by Shahnawaz). Farheen calls Shahnawaz to make sure that Faizan can’t talk Ambar until she gets aboard the flight to America. Germany jate jate achanak plan change ho gaya hoga.

This scene, and the “the talk” scene… It made me laugh. Shahnawaz and Farheen treat their grown-ass children as if they are a bunch of kids, like between age 5-10.

Ambar meets Mina, Mina says things, Sania says things, Ambar says things. Unbearable.

Sania promises Farheen and Zainab “meri taraf se shikayat ka mauqa nahin milega.” At least for one scene, she tries to follow it, doesn’t react at all when she sees Salman picked up incoming call from Faheem on “her” phone, threatened Faheem and then sweetly says: ab woh tum ko pareshan nahin karega.

Parting Thought: Sania is mad. I mean, I know what’s happening to her isn’t fair but she’s also kinda dumb. It’s just a drama but it still infuriates me.

One good thing is that I have not watched Winter Love Episode 12 yet. That mind-numbingly dumb drama will not enrage me as much, I’m hoping. Itni strategy kaam mein nahin lagati main 😀
