Behroze cannot bare marrying Arjumand for he loves someone else. It is the rigidness of ‘what should be’ that ripped the family apart and separated Behroze from his loved ones. Source: MD Productions Suhaib endlessly tries persuading Behroze to do as Agha Jaan wants, not because he knows it’s the right thing, but because it will prevent such indescribable ripples through his family As the elder of the family, everyone watches in absolute dismay and disbelief. He tries to stop Behroze and fails miserably so in an emphatic scene whereby Behroze storms out of their magnificent Northern haveli after being expelled by Agha Jaan. It’s awful really, but you cannot help the one you love – and Behroze is precisely banished for itĪll the while, a helpless Suhaib cannot do anything. He immediately kicks Behroze out, little knowing what this unsettling resolution would bring forth for the rest of their lives – in particular, the toll it would have on the two brothers.

Agha Jaan, who had arranged Behroze’s marriage to cousin Arjumand cannot fathom it. However, a disconcerting decision made by Behroze alters the entire family, after he falls in love with Ruhina, a girl from a relatively poorer background. While Behroze and younger brother Suhaib loved one another possibly more than life itself, the entire house brimmed with an exhilarating joy.

The reserved family, led by head of the house and father Agha Jaan was closely knit, and it’s like nothing could ever tear them apart And while the drama shone on so many fronts, it was the distressing relationship between the two brothers, Behroze and Suhaib that served as the paragon of a moral didactic compass. ‘Diyar-e-Dil’ was utterly brilliant, with impeccable acting, crisp writing and a story line that left moral imprints so grounded, the drama quickly served as a basket of life lessons for myself.
