"They are really showing the horrors of joint family."
The popular drama Jama Taqseem has taken an emotional and unsettling turn that left audiences heartbroken and deeply reflective.
The series, once centred on a young bride adjusting to life in a joint family, has now exposed a darker reality.
In its latest episode, the show tackled harassment within a joint family household, delivering one of the most powerful scenes in recent television.
Mawra Hocane and Talha Chahour star as Laila and Qais, a couple trying to balance family expectations with their own struggles.
The episode focuses on Sidra, a young girl living in the same home, whose cousin Zeeshan begins to show predatory behaviour.
Weeks of subtle hints built up to a horrifying moment when Sidra was left alone with him, leading to an attempted assault.
Qais enters the scene just in time to stop Zeeshan, creating one of the most intense and emotional moments of the series.
Fans flooded social media with reactions, praising the actors for their realistic and deeply moving performances.
One user wrote: “Such a gut-wrenching episode! My heart goes out to all the girls who suffer in silence.”
Another viewer commented: “This drama shows how mothers, buried in work and stress, sometimes miss the signs of their children’s pain.”
The episode sparked widespread discussion about how silence and disbelief enable abuse within families.
Many pointed out that Sidra’s earlier attempt to confide in her mother was ignored, a reality too familiar for many.
One viewer noted: “They are really showing the horrors of joint family and what happens when you don’t listen to your kids and overlook the things that are troubling them!”
The heartbreaking breakdown of Sidra’s mother, who blames herself for not listening, resonated deeply with audiences.
One fan shared: “When Rashida cried, I cried too.”
Many urged the channel to include trigger warnings before such scenes.
Many viewers also highlighted the societal biases, suggesting that if Laila had caught Zeeshan, no one would have believed her.
One user on X wrote: “Just finished watching the latest episode of Jama Taqseem, and felt so sad for Sidra, I wish no girl has to experience this ever.
“This scene is a reminder that danger doesn’t always come from strangers, it can live quietly behind familiar faces.”
With its raw storytelling and emotional performances, Jama Taqseem has turned entertainment into a moment of awareness.
