Maira Khan's character breaks 'good news' to husband, but is it really good?

Audiences were already worried about Maira Khan’s character in ‘Cheekh’ while her latest move is a gamble which viewers think can land her in trouble.

Shehwar (played by Maira Khan), who is already going through a lot of hardships due to her husband Yawar’s patronising attitude and patriarchal mindset, had learnt in the play’s episode 15 that Yawar (played by Aijaz Aslam) not only kept her in dark about his infertility problem but had deceived her by claiming that it is her who is infertile.

Not only that, just to feed his fragile ego, the man is shown telling Maira Khan that he will never demand a child from her and will never press her to seek a cure for “her infertility”.

Well, Maira’s latest move is what has audiences completely shocked, as instead of asking Yawar, why he kept her in dark, she just announces pregnancy.

Childless for years, this announcement could have brought tears of happiness in Yawar’s eyes but knowing that he deceived her, he immediately turns pale and asks… how can it happen?

He even asks tumhein koi aur beemari toh nahii? (are you suffering from some disease?) but Shehwar just enjoys the situation silently and asks as to why he isn’t happy.

Though many of the viewers enjoyed her trick, some of the viewers on the latest episode’s comments section have expressed fear that Yawar might harm her.

Interestingly episode 18’s teaser shows Yawar losing his cool over her and asking “whose child is this?”, upon which she asks “why this can’t be your child?”.

As the teaser ends, Yawar says “you have no place in my life now”.

So the curiosity about Shehwar’s fate is all time high and now viewers are eagerly waiting for the next episode.
