Introduction

Tere Bin is a new drama on HAR PAL GEO (Well, it’s not that new). Here’s a snippet from Geo’s official YouTube channel.

Meerab is an ambitious and beautiful young girl who wants to pursue higher studies. Her entire world revolves around her parents and she believes in them the most. Her strong and confident personality makes her stand against social injustices around her.

On the contrary, Murtasim hails from a powerful and influential family. He respects and values the morals and traditions of his family and refuses to let the family down.

Meerab’s life takes an unexpected turn when she finds out about her family’s decision regarding her and Murtasim’s life. Meerab’s hatred towards Murtasim continues to grow as a family secret from the past resurfaces. Coming from different backgrounds and mindsets, Murtasim begins to realize Meerab’s arrogant behaviour towards him and begins to consider her a challenge for himself. On the other hand, Meerab who is used to living her life on her own terms refuses to accept Murtasim’s family traditions and unnecessary social barriers.

Soon their lives go through a series of emotional sufferings and misunderstandings where it becomes difficult for them to coexist. Despite their hatred towards each other, will Meerab and Murtasim accept their true feelings or will the dynamics of ego and self-respect force them to stay apart?

Tere Bin Episode 51 Written Update and Review

Assalam Alaikum dear readers,

Shabana Mukhtar here, to recap and review the latest episode of Tere Bin.

First up, let’s take flashbacks out of the way. This episode also had it’s more-than-fair share of flashbacks. There was drama, so much of it, I can’t even begin to tell you.

Murtasim’s Accusations

While Murtasim is willing to put all the efforts, spend all the money, do all the talking to find Meerub, Salma Begum isn’t happy to see this.

If that was all, I would be fawning over Mustasim’s kindheartedness, but Nooo…

Murtasim tells everyone that Meerub is with Rohail. For a moment, I was like: did I miss something? Did Murtasim have a proof that Meerub went with Rohail?

None that I recall.

If he is basing this accusation on the fact that Meerub was sitting with Rohail and Saba in the restaurant, then he has taken things too far,

“TOO FAR, Murtasim, too far.” PS: Identify the inspiration of this quote and win Amazon voucher.

And that makes me want to bang my head against the wall. After what “happened” between them, how could Murtasim not know why Meerub left? And worse, how could he accuse that Meerub must have escaped the city with Rohail?

This team gave us one of the kindest heroes, and then they crushed his image.

Meerub’s New Abode

The rest of the episode was about Meerub as she struggles to finds a place in this wild wild world. The kind driver (Farakh Dil, he introduced himself in the episode) takes Meerub to Saba’s house. They both (Meerub and Farakh aka Farrukh) learn that Saba isn’t home. I loved the expression on Farrukh’s face.

It was almost saying:

“Yeh laRki to aisi gale paRi hai ki peecha hi nahin chhoR rahi.”

Anywho, so because he is a good samaritan, he doesn’t leave Meerub alone.

“Hum pathaan hai. Tanha aurat ko aise akela nahin chhoR sakta.”

So, he brings Meerub to his employers-an old couple for whom he works.

These people are also very kind and they accept Meerub into their lives as if they were waiting for a miracle like this. They don’t pester Meerub to talk about her past, and are fully supportive of her tantrums.

Let’s see what transpires next.

Review

This episode made me realize one thing: Meerub isn’t just silly; she’s also incredibly lucky.

We have seen several cases in the past that made us judge her decision-making abilities:

• Writing that contract for Murtasim; I mean WTH was that? (the wedding episode)
• Keeping in touch with Rohail even though her husband clearly asked her not to.
• Getting down from the car when Murtasim asked her not to (episode 16, was it?)
• Getting into a bet with Haya every time and falling for her evil plans
• Promising to help Maryam run away from the house. I can’t stress how much I hated this part. I mean, seriously? Ghar se bhagne mein madad karne ka waada? rolling me eyes…
• Running away from the house because she was with her husband? hard-rolling me eyes…

I can’t help but realize that the writer wanted to portray the heroine in a certain shade, but sadly, that portrayal isn’t a likable one for me

At the same time, she is also incredibly lucky.

• Murtasim agreed on that silly contract.
• Murtsim always stands by her side no matter what her wrong decision is, even forgives the Rohail thingy far too many times.
• She was rescued by Murtasim just in time, before Malik Zubair could do “anything”
• Somehow or the other, someone always comes to take her side.
• She’s saved by Farrukh and ends up living with a nice family. For all we know, this family could be thugs, or you know, the kind the place Malik Zubair’s fake mother’s house was.

Long story short, I’m losing interest in this drama. I mean, 51 episodes and counting; that’s a bit much for Pakistani dramas, don’t you think.

So, that’s the commentary on the latest episode of “Tere Bin”. How did others find it?
