Mrs & Mr Shameem: Redefining masculinity

approx read time: 10-15mins Mrs & Mr Shameem... a drama I literally have no words for! The drama brings together the powerhouse performances of Nauman Ijaz and Saba Qamar through an unconventional and gripping storyline. The couple face quite literally every problem on the cards together but come out stronger in the end...Let us explore the performances and taboo themes intertwined that stem from true masculinity, opposing common stereotypes... Poster Title I'd like to actually put some emphasis on the drama poster title. What does it really suggest to an audience? Did you notice that typically we say Mr & Mrs but the drama is actually Mrs & Mr? Was this intentional? The "Mr Shameem" is written in italics which to me seems really feminine. The "Mrs Shameem" is written in capital which I think suggests bold dominance. Now, if we were to match these up to the characters of Umi and Shammo, who would you say represents which title?

ABOUT ME

Hanji dosto!

My name is Jannah and I'm so glad you've found my page 😊

Welcome to my little corner on the very big Internet where we can just chill with our chai and critically discuss all about our Pakistani showbiz industry! You'll find mostly drama reviews here but also articles relating to:

What's your story behind the blog?

I've been very very passionate about my Pakistani dramas since 2015 and I've watched over 50 dramas now (but still re-watch my favourites every year). I feel I've developed a close eye for detail and the ability to understand what elements make a good drama. 

I began watching the award shows in 2017 and very much disagreed with the awards that were presented in certain categories. I really want to be part of the jury panel/critics that decides the winners! I feel like my opinions are justified and worth being heard.

Recently, I've met many people online who I've discussed my opinions with about the latest dramas and I like to create a form of debate. I love to recommend people dramas to watch and I love it when someone has watched an underrated drama that I love! 

In December 2021, I grabbed the lucky opportunity to meet my favourite actor- Feroze Khan! I've religiously followed him since before the Khaani hype and never miss his dramas. Oh but never did I think I would be able to talk to him in person! We sat down and I mainly interviewed him about his work life which he responded to carefully and appreciated my style of questioning and how interested I've been in his work since the start of his career. Then it really hit me afterwards when I watched back the recording of my video, what I asked him, how I asked him, and how he responded that I really want to DO something proactive in this field. A week later, I was still practically watching the video every day and then well I got covid and was stuck in my room isolating and I thought I love reading Fuchsia magazine reviews and watching the interviews...how about I try this? Well, here we are!
