Iss Khamoshi Ka Matlab

Plot

Is Khamoshi Ka Matlab is a family drama based on communication gap among family members. The play draws attention to a situation in which everyone in the family has personal resentments towards other family members but they never discuss it with each other.

The mother-in-law (Samina Ahmed) has several complaints from her son, Habib, (Waseem Abbas) and his wife, Salma, (Atiqa Odho) without much of a reason. She lives with her daughter, Samina, (Fazila Qazi) who also humiliates her sister-in-law for one or another reason. She only happens to make matters worse by provoking Ahmed by repeatedly reminding her of the grudges she withholds.

Encapsulated by this animosity, there is a blossoming love story between two cousins. Neither Salma’s daughter, Zainab (Aiman Khan), nor Samina’s son, Ali (Ali Ansari), has the courage to disclose their feelings to their parents in this tragic situation. Eventually, they learn that Zainab’s parents have already fixed her marriage with her maternal cousin, Noman (Asad Siddiqui). Over the time, their grudges get severe while the two love birds are left to bear severe pain that comes with the family clash.
