As Zanjeerain moves forward, the plot of Sarbuland’s (Danyal Zafar) assassination attempt unfolds, with Shireen (Anaya Shahid) instantly informing Sohrab (Raza Ali Abid) about the sardar (tribal leader) living in Rabbiya’s (Sajal Aly) room. In an attempt to create chaos around honor, Bibi Jan (Sammiya Mumtaz) is taken to the room where the two are caught together, leading to a jirga (tribal council) meeting. While Sohrab hopes that Sarbuland will be unable to redeem himself before the jirga, he finds support as the bullet wound proves the assassination attempt. However, amidst the chaotic revelations, Zanjeerain viewers are delighted with the #Sarbiya wedding.
Despite their support for Sarbuland and understanding that his life is in danger, Rabbiya is allowed to remain in the haveli only if she marries the sardar. The decision is made to protect the honor of the tribe and has become the most awaited moment for the Sarbuland-Rabbiya fans. The forced marriage trope has turned into the most alluring proposal. From casually informing her that she is caught up in his mess to calling her the only friend in sight he can trust. The audience is charmed by how, despite it being a jirga decision, Sarbuland has told Rabbiya that he is the closest and most trusted to him. While he plays along with the jirga decision, he has casually slipped his feelings for her.

Social media is ablaze as #Zanjeerain trends; netizens are wooed by Sarbuland casually informing her about the nikkah decision. As he confesses to her that she is his only trustworthy friend while telling her about the marriage, viewers are fully invested. Looking forward to the highly anticipated #Sarbiya marriage, an X user posted:

Adding how Sarbuland’s reaction to the jirga decision defies it being forced, a netizen commented:
He’s so smooth about it, though!! It def doesn’t feel like he was forced into this Nikkah or that he dislikes the idea! Heck doesn’t look like he’s sorry for Rabiya either as if he was waiting for it!! Sarbuland, you’re already down bad & i’m loving it #Zanjeerain https://t.co/5hQPBXW4wr
