This latest episode of Coke Kahani was yet again a treat to watch. The pacing is just perfect, and the various strands of the complicated story are woven together brilliantly, so much so that till this latest episode it was very hard to pick one track over other. But after having watched this latest episode, I have to say the Nusrat and Mutma’in pair is fantabulous!
A fresh concept, the story of this elderly couple is so much fun to watch. Their retired, but active lifestyle gets quite a jhatka when Nusrat decides to go back to school. Mutma’in Sahab is initially amused, then bemused and now confused, as he is trying to to sort through a plethora of emotions – loneliness, boredom, envy, insecurity, jealousy, anger – you pick any one and he feels it.
What is brilliant here is that unlike younger couples, this mature couple does not believe in suffering in silence. Dedicated followers of the sab keh do school of thought they do not beat around the bush and come straight to the point. After having watched so many of our star-crossed TV pairs go through 20+ painful episodes, trying to utter one simple statement or clear up one idiotic misunderstanding, I truly appreciate their forthrightness. In fact I would go so far as to say that this pair should start giving lessons on how to manage a relationship. Actually, I already have a couple in mind, who could’ve been spared so much heartache if only they had watched this latest episode of Coke Kahani, and dealt with their situations à la Nusrat and Mutma’in. Yep, you got it, I am talking of none other than our very own Khirad and Ashar.
Lets walk through a somewhat similar scenario and observe the very different results:
Both Ashar and Mutma’in start off being annoyed by their wives’ study partners…
Ashar got angry, over reacted and stomped off…
Mutma’in Sahab on the other hand, stayed calm and collected, and connived…
If Ashar had shown such presence of mind then, we wouldn’t have had to sit through so much of drama and shayad Sara ki jaan bhi bach jaati!
Not only Ashar, Khirad too could’ve picked up a trick or two from her senior, Nusrat …
Instead of falling at Ashar’s feet and begging for his mercy…
She should’ve confronted Ashar, just like Nusrat…
And Humsafar would have been gulzar, Coke Kahani style…. sigh!
Nusrat and Mutma’in ~ you guys are rockstars!

Love how you sneak in scenes of Humsafar, so we get to remininsce all over again:) But yeah, a very apt comparison, Ashar and Khirad most certainly could have learned from them, but then we wouldn’t have got our ” kya barish se meney tumhe khafa kiya hai” and Ashar stares lol Now noone can compete with that!
But Mutmain was fab in bringing the chay scaring off the guy lol! So now he just needs to find something to do also and things should be good. I love this track, and the message it showed!
Oh and what about idiotic saad, I was cracking up …Omg this drama us too good..literally short and sweet!

ROTFL!! I am glad we were all thinking of Asher and Khirad when watching the Mutamain Nusrat scenes – I loved your side by side comparison – hadn’t thought of that!! Asher could have totally pulled out his guitar and sung “she moves in me mysterious ways” and Khizer would have ran away :p Khair phir drama nahi banta and we wouldn’t have fallen head over heels for them.
The taking off of the toupee at the chai table was gross and hilarious 😉
I have to say Saad has an awesome texture to his voice and I love it when Maya says “mera chota baba” 🙂 it was great to see Mahira’s cameo is jalebi 😉 lol
CK IS SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!

Lovely post! clearly You were not the only one thinking of Ashar and Khirad while watching this latest episode..
Nusrat and Mutma’in are def the couple of the year. I imagine thats how Ashar and Khirad will live it up once they reach that age! 🙂
The entire episode / drama is such fun. In 16 minutes you get an action packed episode.
There are estranged relationships, new relationships blooming, relationship advices, and the already content ones. Basically a whole lot of relationships in this drama, whether its mother/daughter, daughter/father, father/son, husband/wife, senior husband/wife, friends, girlfriend/boyfriend, BUT none of them conniving, none out to get each other.
We are so not used to seeing these kinda relationships on tv but it is a good change indeed!!
Rooting for Asfand / Maya to overcome their differences, and Saad / Rukhaya confessing their feelings: how can we forget Beydil to finally come to his senses and make more mature decisions, let Maria be the one whom he can share all his crazy shairis with! 🙂
Now let me go back to watching my favorite young couple, Ashar and Khirad! 😀
