If you have been active on Twitter recently, the micro-blogging app has been overflowing with Fiza or Shiza memes. A clip from A-Plus TV’s 2020 drama Judwaa-Haqeeqat is currently circulating on social media in which two brothers marry twin sisters and end up in the wrong rooms on their wedding night, and the internet is confused.
The said storyline revolves around two sisters marrying the wrong groom. In the good old fashioned way, the brides and grooms never really met before tying the knot and saw each other for the first time on their wedding night. The sisters, who were set to marry two brothers Zain and Farhan, ended up swapping husbands.
Faraz, who had to marry Shiza, tied the knot with Fiza while Zain married Shiza in an absolutely mind-boggling plot. A clip from the said telefilm made it to Twitter and rest assured, tweeps were just as confused as we were!
Judwaa is part of the Haqeeqat series, a Pakistani anthology television series consisting of a collection of assorted family stories. The series featured a different cast in each episode and is apparently based on real life situations.
Kiran Tabeer’s reaction
Reacting to the trend, Actress Kiran Tabeer (Fiza) termed it ‘a stupid thing’ and said it was trending for all the wrong reasons. “Our people have taken a clip from the drama and enjoying on it. If you look at the complete script, you will find out that there’s nothing like that,” she said in an audio message.
Giving details about the drama, she said, “It was a fully arranged marriage like the old fashioned way. When the grooms’ parents visit our home, they agreed and say ‘our sons are too obedient and we don’t want to show your pictures to them’.”
She continued, “Later in the drama, brides’ mother told her daughters she can’t asks for brides’ pictures after what happened earlier. There is a villain aunty who deliberately switches the brides’ rooms.”
“Then a bride freaks out and causes a scene on her wedding night when she realises her groom is actually her brother-in-law. So this was the story. It’s a simple thing,” she concluded.
