However, the episode ends without revealing who the medicines actually belong to, leaving the audience with several unanswered questions.

The mystery has become even more interesting after the show’s writer, Umera Ahmed, shared a poll on social media, asking viewers to guess who could be suffering from cancer among four characters — Abu Bakr, Zamil, Zaryab and Khushbakht.
