Hum Tv and ISPR’s joint venture Ehd e Wafa featuring Ahad Raza Mir, Osman Khalid Butt, Wahaj Ali, Ahmed Ali Akbar, Zara Noor Abbas and Alizeh Shah trends every Sunday. The drama has a loyal fanbase and given that it is a light-hearted family watch, that comes as no surprise.
In the latest episode, Saad (Mir) has joined the army and his training is underway in full swing. On one of his training missions, the officer tells the cadets, “Aap uss azeem fauj ka hissa bananay ja rahe hain, jis nay dushman ko jahaaz say utaar kar chai pilatay hain aur baad main poochtay hain ‘How was the tea?'” (You are going to become part of that army, who after capturing the enemy from the helicopter, served him tea and asked, ‘How was the tea?’)
To this, the cadets chimed, ‘Fantastic, sir.”
This scene definitely threw direct shade at Abhinandan, the Indian Airforce pilot who was captured in February in Balakot. A video of him drinking tea and saying that it was “fantastic” had gone viral on social media.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, Shahzain (Osman) and Rani (Zara) are getting betrothed to each other, much to Shahzain’s opposition. He wants to get married to Dua (Alizeh) to spite Saad but Alizeh’s parents reject his proposal. Shariq (Wahaj) is struggling to be a journalist while Sheheryar (Ahmed) is playing for his father’s band much to his disappointment.
The drama has begun to pick up in terms of the pace and the story is progressing well – it is entertaining and gripping. Ehd e Wafa is definitely the perfect Sunday night watch.
