Where Pakeezah(Sehar Khan) gives up on filing a case after her father’s suicide attempt, Asghar(Davar Mahfooz) walks in as a ray of hope in Aik Aur Pakeezah. Built over cricket, Pakeezah and Asghar’s relationship shines in the gut-wrenching conversation between the siblings.

From the moment she bumps into him to the mini bites from the fear of being poisoned, Pakeezah’s fear can be seen in her eyes. However, it gradually fades as her brother breaks down before her, apologising with folded hands for not standing with her. The aggressive Asghar becomes his timid self before Pakeezah when he sees Yaseen (Muhammad Ali Jaan) freely roam around, while his sister remains in hiding. He understands how carelessly the culprit can walk into their home, while Pakeezah cannot meet her family.

In his heartfelt apology, Asghar tells Pakeezah that their fear made her live in hiding and face everything alone. He adds that if they had been brave, they would have stood up with her and taken Yaseen to court, yet they were only cowards. He said that the honour only boils up before the sister/daughter, but never before the perpetrator who walks into their home showing off his happy life.
