Shehrnaaz is one drama serial that shoos away your mid week blues.

The second episode of Shehrnaaz was fast paced and gave us an insight into the protagonist's personality, making us instantly fall in love with the character. Shehrnaz (Ayeza Khan) is someone who is ambitious but at the same time very caring towards the people whom she loves, especially her father. For him, she'd even give up her acting dream!

Had it been any other play or cast, they would have dragged the scenes and bored us to death. However, this was not the case with Shehrnaaz. Here the story progressed beautifully, building the character and plot. Last week we saw Shehrnaaz trying her luck and nailing an audition. Now she's asked to submit a good photographic portfolio of hers, and that too within a week!

Not wanting to trouble Baba, she confides in her best friend, Annie who encourages her to book the best photographer in town and not worry about the money. To be honest, it was actually quite nice to see a genuine friendship on screen for a change.

While Shehrnaaz worries about her portfolio, Sherry ( Farhan Malhi) is seen fantasizing about her and wanting to impress her. He decides to wow her by reading up on Shakespeare’s plays in order to look like a smart and loyal fan. But books are probably not his strongest area. The poor guy's attempt, however, makes you wish and pray in his favor. 

With the money issue sorted and portfolio ready, Shehrnaaz heads to the agency where she bumps into Alyy Khan. Their first encounter isn't so positive as she gives him a piece of her mind for not watching his step.

Just one glimpse of Alyy Khan was enough to hint the viewers that things are going change for the aspiring actress real soon. Only two episodes down and the story seems to get exciting already, thanks to the director Syed Ahmed Kamran and writer Hoor Shamaeel for not dragging the scenes.

Another interesting bit worth the mention is the growing closeness between the two main characters. Sherry seems to be dead serious about Shehrnaaz and is going to pop the question but will she accept? Only time will tell.

As we mentioned above, this week’s episode was all about discovering Shehrnaaz's character; her bond with her father, her aims, and goals, her relationship with her best friend and her morals and values.

Shehrnaaz is a play which makes you enjoy that one hour mainly because of Ayeza Khan's superb acting. Her conversations with her Baba (Sajid Hassan) are a real treat to watch as the story leaves you craving for more. 

Do watch Shehrnaaz every Wednesday at 8 pm only on Urdu 1, we have a feeling the coming episodes will be even better revealing Shehrnaaz's future. Will it be a smooth ride? Or will she have to make a choice between her loved ones and career? Stay tuned to find out!
