As Sarbuland (Danyal Zafar) takes over his brother’s place in the tribe, soft romance brews between Rabbiya (Sajal Aly) and Mudassir (Ameer Gillani). Where everything else is gloomy in Zanjeerain, the giggly conversations between the new couple are what hold the audience together. Amidst the tense sequences at the Khan Haveli, the soft smiles and shared meals in Islamabad bring light to the screens.
While Rabbiya remains shy, Mudassir consistently tries to ease her into her new life with his welcoming gaze, conversations over food, and concern for her well-being. He understands her discomfort towards his lifestyle requirements and ensures that her way of living is cherished. Whether it’s her inability to use a fork and knife to eat or her claim to make better food than a high-end restaurant, it’s all met with a great smile. Though the scenes are foreshadowing a dreadful end, the delicate romance has given life to the episodes.
The audience invested in the Zanjeerain plot, finding the new couple soft and adoring, where Mudassir’s portrayal as a delicate husband has won hearts. Netizens applaud his subtle gestures and body language as well as his expression of love through his eyes. The shifting concern from his friend’s family’s loss to the fact that his wife has been alone and has not eaten won over the audience as well. Appreciating the couple’s romance and Mudassir’s portrayal, a netizen posted:
Mudassir’s portrayal is so beautiful the low and soft tone, love expressed through his eyes, and subtle gestures and body language. In this scene, he was worried for his friend, and later his concern about his wife not eating was so nicely portrayed. #Zanjeerain #ameergilani pic.twitter.com/oQHoP0Ovgh

Admiring the way Mudassir supports Rabbiya to be herself, another posted:
Biysir had me sobbing today. Biya struggling with the fork & knife Mudassir finding it cute, telling her to just eat however she’s comfortable, so simple yet so deeply beautiful. A man should set you free to be your own person not change you.I’m so down for them 💛#zanjeerain pic.twitter.com/ykquoz1VDO

Appreciating their relationship dynamic, a user said:
I dig the way that fork and knife scene was handled. It wasn’t just adorable, it also said so much about their dynamic. Him not making her feel awkward about not knowing how to use it and her wanting to learn. Him telling him to eat the way she wants to!🥺🩷 #Zanjeerain

It’s a testament to Sajal and Ameer’s chemistry that you are able to buy Biya and Mudassir’s love story without there being much build up. These two are so darn cute together, I’m shook at how much I love them already. #Zanjeerain

One added that the relationship portrayal is authentic and posted:
a very random discussion about food. the chef in her not really liking the food. him laughing at her unfiltered comment. her claiming to do better than this. and the husband in him agreeing to that.
this is very normal 🙂
