With ease, the developing relationship between Surbuland (Danyal Zafar) and Rabbiya (Sajal Aly) deepens, as does her connection with Bibi Jan (Samiya Mumtaz). As she cares for her, she also comes forward to protect Surbuland as a glass of juice triggers her quest to find the culprits behind attempts to poison him. As she declares an open war on Shireen (Anaya Shahid) in a fiery exchange, Rabbiya remains unaware of how tangled the mysteries of the Khan Haveli are.
With a knife in her hand, she calls Shireen out for pushing Sarbuland to drink the juice and for wasting it instead of drinking it herself. Rabbiya’s loyalty and care for the sardar (tribal leader) and his mother have led to a growing suspicion of Shireen. While Sarbuland is in disbelief, Rabbiya takes over the kitchen duties for Sarbuland and Bibi Jan, leaving the family shocked. Rabbiya has not only taken over the cooking duties but also ensured that the men loyal to Sarbuland are aware of the situation; food will be served under their supervision.
As Rabbiya is swaying with grief, Zanjeerain viewers are thrilled to see her take control of the Khan haveli, bringing normalcy back to their lives. The business owner, savage Rabbiya, is back in the game, and netizens have handed her the responsibility of exposing Shireen and Sohrab (Raza Ali Abid). As she steps closer to her goal, Sarbuland is also inching closer to finding Mudassir’s (Ameer Gillani) murderers. Through heart-to-heart conversations, the handover of his kitchen, and the promise of a safe return home, Sarbuland and Rabbiya come together as powerful partners.
Social media is in praise of Sajal Aly for her portrayal of Rabbiya as they depend on her to detangle the conspiracies; taking it X a user said:
