Darr Khuda Say, produced by Abdullah Kadwani and Asad Qureshi, under 7th Sky Entertainment, is a drama that will give you goosebumps from the start to the end. On the small screen, it attempted something different and delivered a powerful social message. The leading stars of the drama are Sana Javed as Afreen and Imran Abbas as Shahwaiz.

The theme of the drama revolves around workplace harassment and proceeds to take off on a journey of what goes through the life of a woman who suffers this, and the kind of strength it takes to fight back everything.

Afreen belongs to a middle-class family, and when her brothers turn away from their responsibilities, she steps in to become the son of the house, taking care of her parents.

Unfortunately, Afreen gets hired in an office under a womanizer boss who has no limits, no guilt, and no conscience. Shahwaiz, who is married to Gul only for her money, pretends to love her as she has given him the status he fancies the most. When he sets his eyes upon Afreen, he uses his power to do everything to get a hold of her and blackmails her with photoshopped pictures.

Shahwaiz’s character, played by Imran Abbas, is highly complex, many times portraying the traits of a psychologically imbalanced person.

The drama’s plot thickens with each passing episode showing the struggles of Afreen as she falls deeper and deeper into the pit that Shahwaiz created for her with the help of Kashif. Everyone surrounding Afreen mistreats her, and she is left alone with her faith in God, leaving her matters with him.

The best part about the entire series of Darr Khuda Say is Afreen’s constant character. She is soft, humble, and secure from episode 1, and she stays this way till the last episode. One after another, problems fall upon her. Shahwaiz ruins her, she is insulted by her family, and she loses her love interest, but she remains strong, leaving her matters to the one above.

As the drama comes to an end, we see how it all wraps up with the title “be afraid of God.” One more fascinating thing about its ending was how each character of the drama got the fruits of their deed.

Azhar and Shehla realize their mistake when they lose their unborn child and further learn that they can never become parents. Tamkeen was always a big-mouthed and selfish girl, but two unsuccessful marriages make her a better person. Afreen’s eldest sister in law did everything for a better life but returns as a widower. Shahwaiz commits suicide in jail because he cannot bear the humiliation caused at the hands of a woman.

As for Afreen, the finale gave her the happy ending we all were rooting for since episode one. This strong-headed and humble girl, who faced harsh calamities one after another, finally finds a man who loves her for who she is.

Darr Khuda Say was a fantastic drama that taught us to be strong in the face of hardships, and leave your matters to the one above.
