While at first, it seemed Sinf-e-Aahan might have too many characters to focus on character development, it has not disappointed thus far. In the most recent episode, we see Syra Yousuf’s ‘Arzoo’ realize her worth.
While typical storylines push for reconciliation between couples, Sinf-e-Aahan pushed for a progressive outcome as our young military woman finally takes charge of her life too.
The now viral scene featured Syra Yousuf as Arzoo, Asad Siddiqui as Arzoo’s ex-fiancé, and Sheheryar Munawar as Major Usama.
We see Nouraiz harassing his ex-fiancée Lieutenant Captain (LC) Arzoo again, but this time, Major Usama, who is an instructor at Pakistan Military Academy (PMA) intervened.
Many showered praised on LC Arzoo for finally breaking free.
So this is Arzu Daniel’s journey in #SinfeAahan
One of the most beautiful development of a character has been of this girl, who was meek, exploited by her toxic ex and poor. In this thread I am going to enclose all the vids I can find of her. How she acquires confidence

Aarzoo from #SinfeAahan, played by #SyraYousuf is such an emotionally satisfying character; to observe the journey of a woman realizing her self-worth and shedding a toxic relationship as allys support her growth — this is sort of women oriented content Pakistan’s media needs!

There was also love for Major Usama and PMA.
In absolute awe of @ItsSheheryar’s performance in this week’s episode of #SinfeAahan — there could’ve been no better choice that him to play such a compassionate yet soft hearted character 🕊

While it does seem like our LC is a damsel being rescued by another man, some are just happy the plotline isn’t as regressive as the usual Pakistani drama serial.
Perhaps Arzoo should have approached the cyber-crime wing with the issue instead of being blackmailed by the toxic ex. As an educated woman, she ought to know better.
Nothing against Armed forces but it seems unreal Army solving LC Arzoo's personal problem…
I wanna say it was on an individual level…
But writer has done a good job by displaying a positive image of army…
Nice…#sinfeaahan— حسام (@hissam011) April 2, 2022
Some even stated that the scene portrays harassment as trivial. Adding how it’s stupid that in this day and age, where there are legal procedures, and professional measures to deal with this crime an LC at PMA is being harassed and someone else is rescuing her.
I absolutely loved the beginning of #sinfeaahan bcz I thought the show was going to be focusing on females from different backgrounds coming together and becoming stronger (yes, with an army touch). But all this show has become is a never-ending advertisement for PMA & Pak Army

Mixed views on this one yeah #SinfEAahan has several stories but the problem isn't that. It's more about how they have tried(& failed) to interlink the stories.
Hollywood tells multiple stories in the same show yet their stories don't feel aim less.— PageNo70 (@PageNo70) March 29, 2022
Many felt the scene was unreasonable and out of the context.
“If you are suffering from Parental issues, BF issues, Ego issues, Marriage issues and want to fix them. Join PMA.”

Sinf-e-Aahan follows the story of several girls who join the Army via the short course. Aside from the usual patriotism, romanticism, and passion we see in military dramas, this drama serial worked a lot of character development. With a femme-centric storyline, we see so many progressive representations on screen.
Just a correction LC stands for lady cadet just like GC stands for gentleman cadet and not for leuitenant captain
