Qarz-e-Jaan Episode 25 Written Update and Review

Nashwa Walking Out of Burhan’s car

Another long proposal by Burhan: I can’t live without you, falane damkhana. I read on reddit that people were swooning over his proposal. I fail to see why. His words were tacky, his delivery flat and it failed to evoke any emotions in me as a viewer.

Nashwa tells Burhan that she has no feelings for him, that she’s already married to Ammaar, and that nothing can happen between them. Then, she gets out of the car and just walk, with tears in her eyes.

I know that Burhan is kinda the hero and Nashwa has feelings for him even though she says she doesn’t, but I just don’t get it. Burhan seems creepy to me. I may be the only one in the world to feel that way, but that’s how I feel and I’m not going to hide it.

I LOVE this kurta.

Bakhtiar Still Plotting

The director likes to get into character’s face.

The Confrontation

Bisma and Asim come to confront Barkat and Bakhtiar (like that’s going to do any good).

And Barkat watches over with disgust:

While Bakhtiar smirks as if enjoying it:

Ammaar also joins the party, looking handsome as ever. Is that a hint of guilt in his eyes?

Bisma blames Nashwa for everything. She was kinda accusing her daughter of having an affair with Ammaar (Allah na kare).

Ammaar: Aisi koi baat nahin hai, chachi.

The one thing that stands out is:

How Ammaar comes to stand between Asim and Bakhtiar.
How he listened to Nashwa when she stopped him.

Okay, that’s two things.

Ammaar watching Nashwa leave with Asim and Bisma.

Ammaar still seething:

Bisma’s Worries

She’s worried sick for Nashwa while Bi Jaan and Asim try to console her. I don’t have a problem with the scene; it fit with the narrative quite well. It’s the PDA that bothers me.

Yeh family mein koi sharm haya nahin hai kya? I mean, I get it, Asim wanted to marry Bisma for all of his life, but he can keep it in his pants, no? Keep his emotions in check. Maa ke saamne thoda to lihaaz karta.

Barkat’s Grouse with Bisma

Apparently, Bisma never mourned the death of her husband, and that’s Barkat’s grouse with Bisma.

Barkat (to herself): main chahti thhi tum ro-o, bain karo, sog manao, rangeen kapde na pehno, magar tum bahot ziddi thhin. Aaj tumhein rote dekh mujhe chain aaya hai.

Yep, that’s how twisted humans are.

Ammaar’s Conflicted Emotions

Ammaar has won Bakhtiar’s approval for the first time, especially the way he stood up for his father in front of Asim. He also had very strange expressions on his face as he listened to Barkat and Bakhtiar plotting their next moves, almost as if he wasn’t liking what was happening around him. Full marks to Nameer for depicting such complex emotions. If I knew how to cut a YouTube short, I’d have liked to include a small clip here. He was just too good, and eventually he walked out of the room. Uski bas ho gayi thhi shayad.

He’s not the only one who fails to align with Barkat and Bakhtiar. Sidra is just as confused. And worried.
