When watching a good drama, one just loses track of time and physicality, for a moment forgetting where they are and what they have been doing. Such is the magic of a good television show. Such was the magic of Kuch Ankahi.
When Kuch Ankahi started off on ARY Digital, it came as a breath of fresh air. Light hearted comedy, a storyline worth appreciating and performances that reeked of realism. One after another Kuch Ankahi tackled tabooed subjects and brought about the best portrayal of female characters on television in a long time. However, it seems, now even Kuch Ankahi has been lost in the run of materialism, where makers are only focused on earning money and big TRPs.
Gradually but definitely, it seems that Kuch Ankahi is shifting its focus from shattering ceilings to becoming one of those run of the mill stories. What started off as a drama where female characters were strong and male characters their strongest support system, you now have a cliched love triangle building into it. Although we do like the characters of Asfar and Salman both, but we’re sad that with this love triangle, the original essence of Kuch Ankahi is getting lost somewhere.
The Love Triangle in Kuch Ankahi; Who Are We Rooting For?
While Aaliya has a positive impact on Asfar, we can’t help but talk of the chemistry between Salman and Aaliya. Salman can be seen jealous when Asfar drops Aaliya home, while Aaliya too can be seen taunting him for joining Sehrish’s office. We are rooting for Salman and Aaliya and wish for them to end together the way they started.
Not that we mind a good love triangle every now and then, but something as promising as Kuch Ankahi hasn’t been showing anything progressive in its recent episodes. It seems ever since Aaliya joined Asfar’s office and Salman sided with Sehrish, there is nothing in the show except the sibling rivalry and Salman and Aaliya being a pawn in the game.
Strong Female Projection
Even though with the introduction of the cliched love triangle, all hope hasn’t been lost for Kuch Ankahi. The drama is still bent upon showing some strong female projection and currently all our eyes are set upon Samiya’s character who is on the verge of turning those unfavorable circumstances into her favor completely. She has won over Saif Ur Rehman’s trust and will be starting off her jewelry venture soon.
Sofia is hell bent upon supporting Deepak and Meena through and through. She is one strong woman who has voiced her opinion and took a stand against the wrong. Alongside Sofia, we have Tanya with her iron will to be different and lead differently.
