Dramatic Slap Scene in Parwarish Episode 19 Goes Viral, Wins Praise for Powerful Acting
Aina Asif and Mother's Performances Win Hearts
A powerful scene from the latest episode of ARY Digital’s drama Parwarish, which revolves around the struggles of teenagers and the challenges faced by parents, has gone viral on social media.
The clip features a dramatic moment where the father slaps his daughter Maya, played by Aina Asif, sparking intense reactions from viewers.
In episode 19, the emotional turning point unfolds when Aina Asif’s father, believing a false narrative spun by her fiancé, slaps her upon her return home.
The story depicts how Aina’s character is forced into an engagement within the family against her will. Her fiancé not only intimidates and physically abuses her but also misleads her future father-in-law with lies, making Aina appear to be at fault.
The moment her father strikes her, Aina’s on-screen mother steps in fiercely, confronting her husband and defending their daughter. She makes it clear that she will not tolerate violence against their daughter, nor will she accept baseless accusations based on lies told by an outsider.
As the truth is revealed—that Aina’s fiancé is the abuser and manipulator—the father experiences regret and remorse for his actions. This emotional confrontation and the family’s breakdown struck a chord with audiences.
The scene, particularly the performances by Aina Asif and the actress playing her mother, drew widespread praise online.
The scene of Shaheer slapping Maya and Sadia finally standing up for her daughter was the most impactful scene so far. So many can relate – a controlling father, a silent mother who finally finds her voice, and a daughter who's been silenced and unheard for too long.#Parwarish pic.twitter.com/1872zZZ165
