As Kafeel walks towards the end, it has managed to raise conversation on another stigma in society: divorce, remarriage, and children. Where Zeba’s (Sanam Saeed) vision is clouded by society’s judgment and fear of abandonment, Subok (Aashir Wajahat) steps forward as her savior once again. He not only takes charge and speaks with Jamal (Hassaan Khan) but also tries to convince Zeba to choose her happiness.
Zeba’s fear pushes her to believe that the thought is backed by her dependence on Subok, while he purely wishes for her well-being, ready to let her mother be in her new life. Where she believes her happiness would mean stealing her children’s livelihood, Subok remains determined to find his mother the love she deserves.
While she is haunted by the past, Subok’s optimism is bolstered by the bright future he sees for her and Jamal. fulfilling the idea of family and compatibility. He leaves the decision to his mother in a heartfelt conversation, hoping she chooses herself over anything. He tells her that she is forever in his heart, but there are some vacuums that cannot be filled with the love of a son. Rather, she needs a companion to heal from what has shattered her completely.
As he tearfully pleads to his mother, Kafeel viewers are also in tears as the scene unfolds. The remarkable take in second marriage, the fears of a divorced woman with kids, and the society’s role in making decisions all sum up in one heartwrenching sequence. Aashir Wajahat’s portrayal of a son choosing his mother’s desires over society’s judgment is beautifully etched, and he has now been dubbed the ‘national son’ by Kafeel viewers. Appreciating his performance and the impactful scene, a netizen took to X and posted:
