When ‘Khaas’ initially began, the audience thought that it captured marital relations like any other Pakistani drama serial. Though, as the story progressed, people started noticing that the script wasn’t just about the usual adjustments that a couple makes, or the normal differences that they have, but it touched all the flaws of patriarchy without exaggeration. The story revolves around Ammar and Saba, played by Ali Rehman Khan and Sanam Baloch. They belong to respectable families and get tied in an arrange marriage. Ammar’s character is skilfully played by Ali Rehman Khan who manages to strike an amazing balance between a well-educated person, a cunning husband, and an obedient boy who is the apple of the entire family’s eye. His narcissistic behaviour didn’t get unnoticed as he joked about his wife’s hands on the night of their wedding. Ammar’s self-obsession crossed limits as he cheated on her with his ex. A selfish man who couldn’t get enough of himself, Ammar pretended to be an affectionate husband in front of the world, making Saba look like an ungrateful spouse. Ali Rehman Khan nailed the role with his convincing acting and killer expressions. When one watches Ammar emotionally abusing Saba and scheming against her to the fullest, you can’t help but loathe him. Ali Rehman Khan has done a brilliant job in portraying this complicated character – someone who appears good in front of everyone but shows his true colours to his wife. His family supports his bad habits, which has always made him feel like he isn’t doing anything wrong.
