being as well. Moreover he doesn’t have the courage to kill a person who is
innocent. Javed is not the actual murderer of the pujari, infact the knife
fails down from his hand and he clearly beholds that someone else takes up the
knife from the ground and kills the pujari. He becomes the victim of his fate.

the only place for Daksha where she could found some solace and freedom. Daksha
was fond of the Noor Jehan songs and she could hear the songs only at Zarine’s
place. Zarine and Daksha were good friends, but their friendship was not meant
