Shazia Wajahat turned to social media to share immense pride in her son, actor Aashir Wajahat, after a powerful scene from his drama serial Kafeel captivated viewers and took the internet by storm.
"I gave birth to you... but today, you gave the whole nation something to feel," she wrote.
"You have made me proud every single day since you were born, but watching you move hearts and bring tears to so many through your performance... not only I, but the whole nation cried with Subuk. Not just my son, but an artist who touched an entire nation. So incredibly proud of you."
The scene shows Daneen's father sitting down with Subuk, the character Aashir plays and telling him that his daughter, despite being surrounded by wealthier suitors, chose him.
The father tells Subuk that Daneen could change his fortune, and that their family is prepared to wait for him for as long as it takes. "Humare dil ko tou Subuk bhaa gaya hai," he tells him.
Subuk sits through it all, listening, with tears running down his face and that was enough to break the internet.
This scene drew a massive flood of reactions.
"Wow. We don't find these kinds of parents and boys who are so genuinely honest and true to themselves. Brilliantly portrayed," one person wrote."I've been replaying that scene over and over again. What an incredibly moving performance by Subuk," another remarked.
"The way that conversation unfolds is just breathtaking. I'm honestly speechless," a third added."This scene just destroyed me. I'm crying, a young man in love but willing to sacrifice his happiness to give his girl a better life. And Daneen's father? He deserves a trophy. He sees nothing beyond happiness for this couple," one viewer wrote.
