Murder, mystery, and messes: Qarz-e-Jaan’s latest episode keeps fans guessing

Qarz-e-Jaan is serving us everything—murder mysteries, emotional rollercoasters, and characters who just can't seem to stay out of trouble! At this rate, we’re half expecting a family pet to turn out to be the real mastermind. 

The recent episode of Qarz e Jaan leaves us with burning questions: Did Ammar kill Maheen before joining the family for lunch? Nashwa seems conflicted, saying: “Maheen is dead, so are the differences between myself and Ammar,” but then she opens her heart to Burhan and lights up when he talks about reopening the case.

No matter how much Bakhtiyar tries to cover for Ammar, he continues to create bigger messes. Ammar or his friends likely killed Maheen to ensure she never threatens him again. This act has led Burhan to reopen the case, which was almost closed before Maheen's death. Are we naive to think Bakhtiyar is incapable of murder?

Is Burhan Asim’s son? Or is there more to the story that will unfold as the drama progresses? The script also highlights how society, and especially a widow’s family, imposes unfair restrictions on her and judges her life choices. The conversation between Nashwa and Bisma about wearing the necklace was poignant and underscores how Bisma feels she doesn't have the right to live a full life anymore, just because she is a widow.

Does Burhan genuinely not know who Nashwa is? Is this all part of a greater plan, or is he truly starting to develop feelings for her?

We expected Nashwa to hold Bakhtiyar accountable for what happened to Maheen, but she remained quiet and called Burhan instead. Maybe Burhan’s lectures about controlling her emotions are finally paying off, leading Nashwa to adopt a more measured approach rather than reacting impulsively.

It's a relief that the drama doesn't portray the entire family as heartless. While Bakhtiyar and dadi might be ruthless, the mother, Sidra, shows some conscience. She wants Ammar to be punished and to learn a lesson, though even she doesn’t do much to make him realize his wrongdoings.

Qarz e Jaan has its ups and downs. Some episodes are very strong, while others test your patience.
