Baby Baji Episode 1 | 23rd May 2023 (English Subtitles) ARY Digital Drama

Umar! Umar! Yes, mother? My dear, is the car here? Yes. Where's granny? She's offering prayers. She's praying... what time is this to pray? All my makeup will be ruined. Mother! The car is here and you're still praying. You can pray the rest on the way. The bride's family must be waiting for us. I'm sitting in the car. How can she even think of praying right now? By then I'll have tea... Asma! Asma! Yes! Come here, what are you standing there for? Come here... tell me, what are you doing? I'm pr

eparing to make biryani for dinner. Biryani? It's not Sunday today, then why are you making biryani? Today is Waleed's last paper. He asked me to make biryani today. Anyways... it's not like he studied hard. He was on his mobile phone the entire time. Go and make me a cup of tea. Will you not have tea with the bride's family? We'll have it there as well. You're always ready with excuses. Azra... when I told you that we'll leave at six, then why did you get ready and called the cab at five thirty

? Mother... we're always late at reaching the bride's family. The last time we went... we were so late that all the samosas went cold. They too didn't care enough to heat it in the microwave. If we're late today, then all the bakery items will get cold. We won't enjoy eating them one bit. I'll buy you hot samosas on the way. But don't say anything untoward when you go there... That this is cold and this is hot. Have I ever said anything? Since we're going there, we have to see how they are in th

eir ways. Yes, but you can notice them silently and discuss them when we return. You shouldn't start criticizing them in their own home. Why do you always allege me with that? I never say anything to anyone! I don't say a single word! Now come on the taxi is waiting for us. The shop near our home sells great samosas as well. Why don't you ask the girl to be here? She's making tea, she'll be here any moment now. Why didn't you make it? Why did you ask the girl to stand in front of the stove? How

can we like her when she comes to us in sweats? What she means is that there was no need for it. You've already made so many arrangements for us, tea wasn't needed. She's on her way. It would have been better if you had brought the groom with you. This way, they could have seen each other. Why would the groom come here? Honorable families do not conduct themselves this way... Even today, in our family, the groom's mother, sister, and sister-in-law are responsible for finding the girl, for the gr

oom. In our family, we don't allow our men to pick and choose whomever they want, without seeing what kind of family they are. Even today, in our family, the groom's mother, sister, and sister-in-law are responsible for finding the girl, for the groom. Besides, think that if my mother likes the girl, then Wasif will like the girl as well. Wasif does everything his mother asks him to do. Father is here! Is it necessary to announce it? You're back early? It's my home and I can come here any time I

want. Shall I bring tea? Send it to my mother's room. Mother isn't here. Where is she? She has gone to meet a girl for Wasif. When will her chase for this girl for Wasif end? Sit down, I'll bring the tea right away. Send it through Shahzeb. Don't come in front of me constantly! It ruins my mood, don't you know that? Don't say it in front of him. Then don't come in front of me in front of Shahzeb. Greetings* By God's good grace! Do you study my dear? Yes, I've done B.A. Wasif is in his final yea

rs as well. By God's good grace, he's a handsome, intelligent, and respectful young man. Do you know how to cook? Yes, I do. What can you make? I mean... are you able to make... the popular meals that are going on nowadays. What I mean is can you make Chinese food... and are you able to bake? No... I don't know baking... You don't know how to bake? How can that be? Men nowadays like eating modern cuisine and all girls know how to do this. Gone are the times when a round flatbread would do the tr

ick. Nowadays men are more interested in eating modern cuisine! What are you going to do about that? She is looking at some baking classes. We'll have her admitted in a few days. Sit down my dear. The poor girl got flustered. Tell me, mother why don't you ask her anything? Otherwise, after we leave, they'll say... that the daughter-in-law was quite talkative... but you were sitting there quite innocently. We'll go home, discuss this among ourselves and then give you an answer. But rest assured,

your daughter is lovely. What do you think is best? We only wished to see the boy... That way they would have been able to see each other. Again with that! I just told you that we don't do this in our family! Besides, I've told you before that our mother is the one who makes all the decisions in our family! She chose her two daughters-in-law and she will surely choose the third one as well. No one would dare say a word against her decision. No one says a word in front of her. If she says yes, th

en think that Wasif has said yes. We'll give you an answer after we discuss it at home. Your daughter is quite lovely and she will blossom any home that she goes into. She said the very same thing to me as well. On the seventeenth, there was a delivery of 1500 pairs. And... yesterday it was 2000 Has the money been paid for the pairs? I talked to Mr. Shah... he said that he'll pay for them soon. You can check the rest yourself. Did you talk to Mr. Saleem? Yes, but there was no point in visiting t

hem. His sons are still adamant about their demands. Where is Naseer? Naseer said that he'll be back at four, but it's six now. He still hasn't come back. He doesn't understand. He can't seem to have his heart in anything. Once Waleed's education is complete, I'll have Waleed and Wasif sit at the shop. I don't think Wasif will sit at the shop. Why? He has no intention of joining the business. He said he'll find a job. Is he insane? Why would he do a job? Ok fine... After his education ends... I'

ll set him straight. As you wish father. You made mistakes last week as well. Focus this time. Focus on it. The taxi driver was driving so badly that I wanted to slap him. Greetings* You're back early today. I went to do something, and after that, I came back home. Asma! Bring water for me dear. Sure! What happened mother? How was the girl and her family? I liked the girl. It's a quaint family and an honorable one as well. I didn't like the girl at all... she was so shy. Her voice dropped as soo

n as she spoke. Look how outspoken Wasif is, they won't suit each other at all. She was meeting us for the first time, how was she supposed to act? If she had been outspoken, you would have objected to that! Besides mother, there is no place for a girl from a quaint family in our colorful home! We'll have to bring a girl who knows how to cook for ten people. She took half an hour to make two cups of tea... By then all the samosas were finished. You can't seem to like any girl. I was thinking of

taking Asma next time. How can you take her with you? I'm the eldest daughter-in-law of the house. Only I will go there. How can Asma go? Tell me... Will she look good with Wasif? What tone are you taking with me? Why are you speaking so loudly? It's because you are wrong. It's like you're saying that Wasif isn't getting married because of me. I had no such intention, nor did I say anything to imply that. You should help Asma. At least let me rest, I just came home. I will freshen up first. Besi

des, it's not my day to work. Everyone can hear that I will not work today. Clear the way! Come on Asma, let me help you out. Mother, I'll take care of it. Everybody is driving me insane! I'll talk to you later. Why do you always shut the phone off when you see me? It's because you listen to everything and then interrogate me. Aima's aunt is living with her nowadays... it's good that we don't have an aunt. Your granny is worth ten aunts. Go and eavesdrop on what they are saying. Mother, I'm sure

they won't be praising you. You know very well what they say behind your back. Even after that, you are ever ready to hear what granny has to say about you. I'm noticing that you've grown quite a sharp tongue. Do as I say, otherwise, I'll break your bones. If you raise your hands on me again, I'll complain to father. Don't threaten me with your father. I'm not afraid of him or his mother, understand? Do as I say! Get up! I'm going! You're always hitting me! How can she criticize her for being s

hy? No one can be born with a sharp tongue like Azra! She just likes finding things wrong with other girls. Mother, if you like the girl, then move things forward. How can I? If a girl comes into this house without Azra's favor, then she won't let her last two days. If that's the case, then I don't think Wasif can get married. But we must find a solution to this... Look at the girl that sister Azra is talking about... Her aunt's daughter! God forbid! We've already brought one girl from her home.

.. You've seen how Azra is... if another girl like that comes in, then it will be trouble for all of us. I wouldn't even like bringing a kitten from Azra's home. My God! What are you doing here? Nothing. Mother sent me here to ask if dinner was ready. Tell her that there's still time left. It still isn't ready yet. Sure. Look what she's making her daughter do. Granny, he stole my color box... Is this color box his? Then give it back to him. I won't. Look how he ran away! It's okay... he's your y

ounger brother. So what he isn't giving it to you. Don't make such faces, I'll get one for you. I'll buy a new one for you. Where are Wasif and Waleed? Wasif is washing up and Waleed hasn't come back yet. How many times have I asked him not to come back home late? I've asked everyone countless times to be at one place, during dinner. I called him... he asked us to start, as he was on his way. Umar, go and call your uncle. He'll come here himself. Look... whenever I ask him to do anything, he ans

wers back immediately like his mother! At least let him eat. Umar, did you not hear what granny is saying? Go and call your uncle! He had only eaten a morsel. Asma... sit down my dear and eat. Yes, I am. Keep a plate of biryani aside for Waleed. It shouldn't happen that there isn't anything left for him. This biryani was made because of him. I'll keep a plate aside right away. Greetings. Wasif... Yes, father... You know the time when dinner is served, right? Then why do we have to remind you aga

in and again? I was just on my way down. Greetings* Why were you so late in coming back? Mother, I was on my way to give tuition, on my way back the tire punctured, that's why I'm late. Tell me, how was your paper? Like it always is... with your prayers, it went amazing. Wash up, I'll heat dinner for you. No mother... I'm not hungry right now. One shouldn't sleep on an empty stomach. Asma made biryani for you. You'll like it when you eat it. Asma! Asma! Yes, mother? Yes, mother? Asma, I asked yo

u to keep a plate aside for Waleed... I did keep it inside. I can't find it, take a look. Sister Azra just came down, maybe she kept it somewhere. Where did she keep it? I kept it here... Mother! Yes, my dear... I'm coming. I just told you I'm not hungry... Azra! Azra! What's the matter, mother? I kept one plate of biryani aside for Waleed. I can't find it, where is it? That biryani... Umar ate it. Umar ate it? But he had dinner with us. He's a child, he was hungry, and he asked me for something

to eat. I didn't know when Waleed would arrive so I gave it to him. This is wrong. I asked Asma in front of you to keep a plate of biryani aside for Waleed. And you fed that to Umar. Why are you getting so angry about it? He's a child of this house as well. I fed him and that's it. What will Waleed have now? I'll make eggs and toast for him. Why didn't you make eggs and toast for your child? What's the matter, mother? Nothing dear. You guys go in and sleep. Why should they leave? Tell them that

you're fighting with me in the middle of the night over a plate of biryani. There is no point in shouting and I'm not fighting with you. I'm just talking about the principal. Sure... it's like you're the only one who has principles like we were born without them! Have some fear of God... Why are you shouting Azra? What's the matter? Ask your mother about that! She gathered me in front of everyone and questioned me over a plate of biryani. Have some fear of God... You should have some fear of Go

d. You're asking me in the middle of the night where the plate of biryani is... That's why I'm asking you to separate our home... they are questioning us over food as well. What is going on here? Everyone, in their rooms! Voices do not leave their home in honorable families. Sister Azra needs a reason to fight with her mother. Why are you worrying? Father always says not to get in between when women are fighting. It's better to let the mother handle it. Did you see how brother Jamal was standing

there, silently? Even though he should have stopped sister Azra. I'll see what you'll do when it's your turn. I will never allow my wife to argue with my mother. It's the duty of a man to have his wife honor his mother. Forget it. Don't get in between their fight. For a man, it's better to be neutral. You say that even though your wife isn't here, I wonder how much you'll change when she does arrive. Why are you looking at me like that? I'm speaking the truth. Mother... I asked you that I'm not

hungry, why did you bring this? My dear, one shouldn't sleep on an empty stomach. You should eat a little before you sleep. What need was there for you to argue with sister Azra? I did need to argue with her. Everyone should be taken care of in this family. I'm alive right, if your sisters-in-law are being like this now, then what will happen... when I die? What are you saying, mother? God forbid that happens. You have to get us married as well. Yes, I'll bring your wife, this year. We'll have

fun when all three daughters-in-law fight each other. God forbid an argumentative girl comes into our home. Lord knows what sin I committed that a girl like Azra came into this home. I don't know about the third one, but the fourth one will surely fight. Shut up and eat! Did you eat? I've told you a thousand times not to be disrespectful to my mother. How was I disrespectful? It's your mother who was fighting me over a plate of biryani in the middle of the night. Mother was right. She asked for

a plate to be kept aside for Waleed in front of everybody. And you fed that to Umar. Umar was hungry as well. Should I starve my children? I know how much Umar eats... all you need is a reason to fight. Sure... I'm the only one who is bad, the rest of them are angels. If you have such issues with me, buy another house, so that we are rid of these daily fights. I've told you not to even think until mother and father are alive. I have a headache. Go to sleep and let me sleep as well. I'm not sleep

ing. I'll watch my favorite drama's repeat telecast. If your headache is that bad, go to your mother, she'll massage it, and you'll have a peaceful sleep then. Alright... See your drama! Lord knows that magic she has done on all you brothers! Like hell, Waleed will eat any biryani! I'll have this biryani! Listen... I... I was thinking of visiting my mother. Alright, you can go. Just ask mother before you leave. It's been a while since you've gone there. Why don't you come along? I don't have tim

e to visit your mother and father. If you want to go, then go, just take mother's permission. Sister Baby... Sister Baby... It's my mother-in-law's beloved neighbor, how are you, Shehnaz? I'm fine... how are you? I'm fine... what have you brought? I made rice pudding for her. She likes it a lot. My mother-in-law doesn't like anyone's cooking, apart from hers. Lord knows what influenced her into telling you that she enjoys eating your rice pudding. My hands have been crippled making different kin

ds of meals. She finds faults in everything I cook, especially rice pudding. Sometimes she says that I've added too much cinnamon, or that the cardamom is less. That is true... sister baby has taste in her hands. Her knee issues forced her into handing the kitchen over to you two. Otherwise, she used to cook for ten people in an hour. Anyways... you still haven't seen how quick I can be. Have a seat. But you'll only praise her, as you are her oldest neighbor. You'll only praise her... Forget tha

t... tell me... did you like the girl you went to see? No way, my mother-in-law dare not take a liking to any girl. She finds fault in every girl... She wants to find another daughter-in-law like Azra... There is only one Azra... none can be like me. Shall I tell you something? Do you know what my mother-in-law does... Whenever we go and see a girl... she sits there so silently like she is mute... She stays completely silent. Even I ask a few questions... but she sits there like she is a saint.

Azra, no matter what you say... your mother-in-law is a good woman. You'll go to hell with my mother-in-law. One who helps evil goes into hell as well. She'll at least have your company there. Azra, think before you speak. You've landed me in hell. Shall I say something? Your rice pudding is not that great. You didn't add enough milk. Oh really! You realized that after eating half the bowl? I feel something when I see something sweet... whether it tastes good or not. I just start eating... Do yo

u have worms in your stomach? Why would I have worms in my stomach? May worm infest the graves of my enemies. Like I'll have worms! Greetings! When did you come here? Just now... I brought rice pudding for you. But by God's good grace, your daughter-in-law ate everything. It's good that you didn't eat it. It smells like it got burned. Shehnaz... thank you for bringing it over for us. Sit down, I'll lower the stove and come back. Listen... I asked you to do one thing. Did you do it or not? What i

s that? I don't remember anything. I asked you to talk to my mother-in-law to have Wasif married to my maternal cousin. Oh really... why don't you do that on your own? I've asked her so many times... but she doesn't listen. She keeps looking for girls. And she still hasn't managed to find one. You guys were too late in finalizing the girl... What if Wasif chooses a girl and brings her here... That can't be possible. A girl cannot come into this house without my approval. It does seem like that..

. Wasif! Where are you going? Sir Zafar's class is about to start. You guys should come as well. Try bunking a class sometimes. You can afford bunking a class... not me. He is marking attendance and I want to maintain my GPA. You guys should come as well. Not once has he ever bunked a class. I don't see any point in you two having an affair. Why do you say that? Wasif isn't interested in marrying you. Have you seen him talking to any other girl? He is interested in me, but he says that there is

a major difference in the statuses of our families. He's right, look where you are, and look where he is... you can pick and choose any suitor. Yes but... not one who loves as much as Wasif. Boys from lower-class families marry according to what their family members say. It's not like marrying him in court. We'll marry when his family decides for us to get married. His family might agree to it, but will your family agree to it? We'll cross that bridge when we come to it... now come on... Come on

... Hi! I'm leaving for work. Tea is ready father, should I bring it for you. No my dear, I'll have it at the shop. And... have Jamal and Naseer left? Yes... father... Jamal left at ten in the morning. But Naseer left at noon. I don't know what's wrong with Naseer. He left the shop early yesterday as well. He was not well, that's why. Oh really? He seemed fine to me. Anyways... please give Jamal a raise... his family is growing, as well as his needs. I'm alive and I know how to take care of ever

yone's needs inside the house... If Jamal has a problem with the money, then he can come and talk to me. Your mother-in-law has money as well. If you or anyone needs money, then they can ask her. I don't remember if ever you've asked us for money and we've refused. I was just saying... the thing is that Jamal works harder than Naseer... still, they get paid the same, even though Jamal should get paid more than Naseer... Look... whatever happens at the shop and the factory... is for me and my son

s to know. If you have any problem, you can sit in front of me with your husband... And we can talk about it together. Azra... What need was there for you to say to your father-in-law? What did I say? The matters of the shop and factory are up to Siddiqui and his sons... I have never spoken in these matters, then who are you to speak? Tell her who I am... if I tell her, then she'll say that I'm being disrespectful. Mother, the tea is getting cold, drink it. Wasif enough... will you solve all the

questions today? I'm starving... One more question and then we'll go to the canteen. I don't want to eat in the canteen. Let's go out somewhere. I'm not going to DHA or Clifton. They charge an arm and a leg for a small portion. With the money they charge, I can make my entire month go by with it. Who's asking you to pay... I'll pay it. I know you have a lot of money, but this is a fight between my self-respect and your money. And your ego always wins. Alright, we'll eat in the canteen here... b

ut for God's sake get up... I can't take it anymore. You don't study, nor do you let me study. You're hungry all the time. Come on then get up. You're always hungry. The spinach nowadays is so bad. The leaves are so small. Asma! Yes? Listen to me... Yes... I've chopped up the spinach, keep it on the stove. Since it's your day today to work, then why don't you do it yourself? If she's not saying anything, then why are you objecting? It's alright mother, I'll take care of it. Asma... Come here, my

dear. Come here... sit with me. Why are you letting her get away with this? Two more girls will marry into this house, will you do their share of the work as well? It's alright mother, it doesn't make a difference. Since it's her day, then she should be the one to work. I wanted to talk to you about something. Sure, what is it? I wanted to visit my mother and father if you allow me to. Sure my dear... call Naseer, he'll take you there. I asked him... he said that if I wanted to go, I can go by

myself. He just wanted me to take permission from you. I'll put this on the stove.
