Kuch Ankahi is unique and a breath of fresh.
It shows a loving father who doesn’t prevent his daughters from pursuing their goals.
Where the male lead isn’t a poisonous, triggering figure.

Our sick fixation with domestic violence appears to have evolved into one of the key ingredients needed to produce a successful drama. Television dramas that show happy families with women who are respected and loved without being told to abandon their identities are rare. Hence, Kuch Ankahi is unique and a breath of fresh air on our screens because it shows a loving family where the father doesn’t prevent his daughters from pursuing their goals, where women aren’t always trying to outdo each other, and where the male lead isn’t a poisonous, triggering figure. It demonstrates the necessity for more dramas to begin depicting women positively.

In last night’s episode, we saw how the youngest sister, Tania, was shamed while freely dancing at her sister’s wedding by a bystander, prompting her neighbour to defend her. Viewers were moved by the scenario, and clips of it are currently being circulated extensively.

Its the way #KuchAnkahi tells you whats right and whats wrong without making it in your face. Salman’s mom telling off the lady who body shamed Taniya👏🏼👏🏼 we dont need 100 pages long speeches, just one little dialogue blended in well is enough

The scene between the father, Agha Jee, and the oldest daughter Samiya, in which he observes her misery and warns her that if she refuses, he would call off the wedding, has been hailed by social media users as the episode’s most powerful moment. As Agha Jee assures Samiya that he will continue holding her hand regardless of whether she chooses to get married or not, he is encouraging fathers to be more compassionate to their daughters—a type of empowerment and kindness that is rarely seen in Pakistani dramas.
