As Zanjeerain moves forward amidst assassination attempts against Sarbuland (Danyal Zafar), his relationship with Rabbiya (Sajal Aly) takes center stage. Personally taking control of his medical care, Rabbiya has become an important counterpart to Sarbuland and his loyal guards. Leaving Sohrab (Raza Ali Abid) and Torsam (Usman Javed) to speculate about his life and whereabouts, Rabbiya serves the savior as Sarbuland is taken back and forth from the hospital in secrecy.
While fans continue to vouch for #Sarbiya, their bond continues to strengthen as the plot deepens; Rabbiya has reclaimed her control and has been pushed beyond being Bibi Jaan’s (Sammiya Mumtaz) caretaker. While her position in the Khan Haveli is uncertain, she has bridged her way into the sardar’s (tribal leader) and his mother’s life as a constant. The Zanjeerain viewers are left gushing over a whole episode revolving around Rabbiya and Sarbuland, where they cheer on the soft glances, smiles, and utmost care from Rabbiya.
With Rabbiya coming to the center of the plot, the audience looks forward to how she delves into the mysteries of the Haveli and comes forward as the ultimate support for Sarbuland, supporting his role as the tribal leader. She has reclaimed her powerful self, and the pair has come ‘full circle’ as both have shown tremendous support towards one another in times of need. Pleased to see Rabbiya claiming her agency and becoming a decision-maker in the latest episode, the drama critic appreciated the performances and posted on X:
Good episode of #Zanjeerain. The story actually moved & had a decent pace. Danyal and Sajal were excellent, as usual. Glad that Biya actually has agency and brains and was doing more than just “halwa khaa len”.
Looking forward to tomorrow’s ep. pic.twitter.com/MEhFLkuKrm

Seeing Rabbiya at the center of the plot has charmed viewers, and her developing bond with Sarbuland has invested them further in Zanjeerain. Pointing out how the two have been there for each other in the worst times, an X user posted:
“Ptanai mein apse wo sab kaise kehdeta hun jo mein kisi or se nahi keh pata”.
“Ap mujh pr bharosa kr skte hain, mein apko kbhi mayoos nahi krungi”.
2 people who went through worst possible situations ever & now found refuge in eachother.

Happy to see the safe space that has been created between them, another X user added:
Sb saying “Aap mujhpe utna hi bharosa kar sakti hain jitna Mudassir par karti h”
Biya saying “Bibijaan ke baad aap mujhpe bharosa kar sakte h”
One of the most beautiful parallels in the show. They always make sure the other feels safe. Oh how I love these two#zanjeerain

Appreciating the slow development of their arc, one user stated:
their light hearted banter
her care towards him
his gratitude
her remembering such small details about his fake name
the natural ease between them
and his cap?😭
those little smiles

This moment right here is the reason why #SarBiya‘s relationship progression is my favt.& this is why showing their journey without rush was so important.
Now when they are casually joking around,we are getting emotional because we saw everything they went through😭♥️#Zanjeerain pic.twitter.com/R5JK7KAsSc— 🌌♥️ (@Rantingspace__) July 29, 2026
