With Rabbiya (Sajal Aly) at the Khan Haveli, suspense has grown around Sarbuland (Danyal Zafar) and his intentions. While some family members and helpers expect a scandal, Sherbano (Sehar Hashmi) has grown close after learning that Rabbiya is Mudassir’s (Ameer Gillani) widow. From heart-to-heart conversations over tea to introducing her to the family and the house, Sherbano does it all to make things easier for Rabbiya. The care and concern, however, have left the audience divided about whether the two will fall apart under any circumstances.
Sherbano has vowed to stand by Sarbuland, and her concern for Rabbiya is a display of loyalty towards her fiancé. She has not only ensured that Rabbiya is taken care of and well fed but has personally taken her medication into her hands. Whether out of care or for the sake of her relationship, Sherbano has come across as caring and accepting. While more conspiracies are unraveling around Sherdil’s (Ahsan Khan) murder, Sherbano’s gestures also give away suspicion. Her desire to strengthen her bond with Sarbuland, her wish to stick close to the end woman making her insecure, or purely a display of sisterhood; the truth only the future of Zanjeerain will unveil.
Zanjeerain has tied the audience with its grandeur, and they are quick to pick up on how the story may fall. Sherbano’s discomfort, constant affection, and her time spent with Rabbiya have intrigued viewers. While many are in awe of Sherbano for her empathy, others believe there is more to the picture. Appreciating how more positive light has shone on Sherbano, an X user posted:

Another addded:
bano was also likeable too today & I am happy they didn’t make her the complete villian but in previous epi she went over board with the jealousy arc & I think it was bad writing
Ps haters should now work on something new bcz this theory didn’t sail unfortunately😞#zanjeerain

Yet for the ones in disbelief of Sherbano’s care, they suppose that engaging with Rabbiya is to keep her away from Sarbuland. Hanging in the middle, a confused viewer posted:
i really do like how bano is taking care of her, the only thing is— is she doing it cause she doesn’t want Sarbuland near biya or is she genuinely trying to help?
cause same actions can have different intentions #zanjeerain pic.twitter.com/oaEMhESJrA— dituuu (@dituuu06) June 17, 2026
Stating that her care is solely to keep Rabbiya away from her fiance, a user posted:
Ye Bano bohot chalak hai bhai, she knows agar Rabiya ka khayal koi nahi rakhega toh Sarbuland hi ko rakhna padhega, she is doing it all herself so that Sarbuland doesn’t need to go to her #zanjeerain #sarbiya

Pointing out how Sherbano’s attitude towards Rabbiya is for the sake of holding a conversation, a user posted on X and said:
#zanjeerain am i the only 1 who feels like bano isnt actually consoling rabia😭 every scene b/w them feels less comfort more like shes talking down 2 her, she doesnt even seem interested in understanding wat rabia is going through myb its the writing performance bt thats the vibe pic.twitter.com/KBVsfFdf5j

Looking forward to how Rabbiya-Sherbano dynamic works out, a netizen said:
they’ve done a really good job building the suspense because bano being kind to rabiya has thrown me off im so curious to see how this unfolds #zanjeerain • #sarbiya pic.twitter.com/3lryO71uW0
