One of the most talked about (and closer to reality) social dramas, Inkaar is generating a great response since it went on-air earlier this year. While the content is strong and convincing, the powerful performances from Rehan Sheikh, Sami Khan, Imran Ashraf, Yumna Zaidi, Munazzah Arif and others make the play a must-watch.

In the recent episode that aired on Monday, Rehan Chaudhry (Imran Ashraf) uses his power to appear on a TV show, in response to Hajra’s (Yumna Zaidi) claim, and manipulates viewers with his fake side of the story. However, Hajra’s love interest Shahyan (Sami Khan) contradicts Rehan’s claims with evidence and circulates them on social media, despite opposition from his parents.

To pressurize Hajra and her family to marry her off to him, Rehan kidnaps her brother while heading for Quetta. As Hajra tackles it with courage and stands up to this injustice, her parents are torn between the two siblings. When Shayan visits them, leaving his family and everything else behind, Hajra’s father asks the two to get married. Whether they agree to it or not, and how Rehan reacts to it, we’ll find out in the next episode.

Written by Zafar Mairaj and directed by Kashif Nisar, Inkaar is an intriguing watch that breaks away from cliched narratives and offers a fresh perspective on forced relationships.
