My Message to the Humsafar Production Team (The Delay of Episode 20)

by A Pakistani Boy

(This message is based purely on a rumor spreading around Facebook and the internet i.e. Hareem (Khirad and Ashar’s daughter) has to die according to the original plot and now the Humsafar production team is changing the ending because the viewers would be hurt cuz of this. Thus the delay of this Saturday’s episode)

Seriusly????

My mother had preapred the tv lounge for 8 o Clock and brought the blanket and chips to the lounge and asked our guests (and her children i.e me and my bros) to wait for an hour till dinner is served. She fought for the remote and when she got in the sofa in her blanket and munched on the chips, she was shocked to find the episode of the Pakistani nation’s new guilty pleasure to be the previous one i.e. Humsafar did not air it’s 20th epsisode.

Everyone was devestated and soon people took to the only frustration outlet they know how to use; Facebook. Well, the social scene was filled with youngsters and moms all over the country talking and obsessing over this spectacle pulled by HumTv. And so these pity talks lead to the generation of the rumor that forced me to write this letter. Hareem is going to die and they didn’t air this episode because the finale is now being re-shot to amend to the people’s emotion. People who won’t even remember it and forget it just like any other happy bollywood/Star Plus Fantasy ending.

Dear Humsafar Production Team

I have a request. Please don’t change the ending of Humsafar. If Hareem has to die, please let her. I know that the sentiments of the people mean a lot to the production team but this is no excuse to not go with the intended path.

I know that it is the fans that make the show, but we need to realize that the person (Humsafar in this case) would be thrown rocks at and harsh comments too to change who he/she is. That does not mean he/she should change just because the people say so.

I personally believe that if Hareem has to die, let her. Nothing is more memorable than knowing how tears flowed down a gazillion people’s cheeks on a certain drama (Tipu Sultan is a huge example as i remember cutting my finger at the finale when Tipu Sultan died as i was cutting the cucumbers for dinner that night) and how everyone has their own version of how the tears affected them. All the famous short stories usually have a sad ending and so do a lot of novels. I agree that happiness is worth more than sadness, but doing this to Humsafar will damage the image it has created. The only reason Humsafar was so famous in the first place was because of Khirad’s sad turn of fate and how it made the heart of the audience/viewers melt.

It is all up to you to do what you like and this is just one opinion of a person who watches Humsafar in front of the millions who do just like him. As a Humsafar follower, i felt my need to express myself over how crazy missing of one episode of Humsafar. But please whatever you do, don’t listen to what the people have to say. If they are true fans of the show, they will surely understand why what happened.

Sincerely
A Pakistani Boy

P.s. Someone tells me that Hareem doesn’t die at the end of the novel How cool is that??? The fuss over nothing, we Pakistani’s love
