‘Ruswai’ ends on a high

Sana Javed and Mikaal Zulfiqar’s hit drama Ruswai came to a close Tuesday night with an emotional entry by Mukhtaran Mai, the resilient Pakistani who was gang-raped in 2002 on the orders of a village council but became a symbol of hope for oppressed women across the country.

Sana, who played a gang-rape victim in the drama and blew everyone with phenomenal performance, shared her thoughts on the drama and thanked her fans for their continuous support.

Mikaal had also shared his thoughts on the drama before the finale aired.

Ruswai was the story of Sameera, a young doctor belonging to a well-off family, who was gang-raped by a group of men. The drama followed her journey, how the incident changed her life and of those around her. The drama was well-received by critics and audiences given how the makers had tackled the subject with sensitively. The plot and storyline were realistic and executed wonderfully which made it a captivating watch. All the actors gave solid performances and deserve a round of applause. Particularly noteworthy was Osama Tahir as Hamza and Adnan Jaffar as Dr Feroze – both the actors did complete justice to their roles.

Highly recommended to all those who have not seen the drama.
