Why Did Kubra Khan Find the First 15 Minutes of ‘Noor Jahan’ Annoying?

In the opening, a wife believes her husband is planning her birthday, only to discover the celebration is actually for his mother. Khan found this scene “super annoying,” as it highlighted a common yet frustrating dynamic in many households.

“The way Musaddiq has shot the sequence where a wife thinks her husband is planning her birthday, but it turns out to be an event for his mom, was super annoying,” Khan said. She found the depiction of the controlling mother-in-law, played by Saba Hamid, particularly irksome. Despite her frustration, Khan acknowledged that this portrayal resonates with many viewers, reflecting real-life situations where mothers-in-law exert significant control over family affairs.
