Sajal Aly, yet again, serves a remarkable performance as Rabbiya in Zanjeerain, as she is a force to be reckoned with. Her establishment as a firm business owner, her loyalty to her core beliefs, and her being a shield for her small family are all credited to Sajal’s outstanding screen presence and performance. Where Rabbiya is expected to bow down to the world around her, she stands tall before any injustice towards her or her family.

Torsam’s (Usman Javed) forced marriage proposal is like any such incident as well, as he is met with a fierce Rabbiya, not falling prey to his ill intentions. While Mama Jee’s (Ayaz-Hasan Noman) meek presence makes no difference, Rabbiya follows with a firm no. Torsam’s stature and repute cannot scare Rabbiya, leading to a haunting sequence between the two. Physical assault followed by warnings, but the answer remains the same. Not weakened by the warnings, Rabbiya chooses to stand up for her rights.

One sequence holds it all: fear, anger, helplessness, with Sajal’s expressions changing with each second as she tries to save her brother from Torsam’s wrath. The helpless sister who does not want to lose her brother to ego and a woman who would not give in to blackmail and marry forcefully; the colliding emotions add power to the scene.

Sajal’s performance has hooked the audience to Zanjeerain even further, as they hope to see more of Rabbiya’s fearlessness and sweet romance with Mudassir (Ameer Gillani), which is likely to unfold in the coming episodes. Taking to X, a netizen stated that Sajal brings perfection to the screen and posted:
