Hurmat Episodes 7 and 8: Fans Turn Against Hurmat
Hurmat episodes 7 and 8 changed how many viewers see the drama's lead, with a large part of the audience now describing Hurmat as the story's real villain. The HUM TV serial is also one of the biggest dramas of the moment, ranking #2 among Pakistani dramas this week with 33.7M views in seven days.
Why viewers have turned on Hurmat
The most liked comments on both episodes focus on how Hurmat is treating her fiancé Tabish. Viewers say she is pulling away from him after learning about his difficult childhood, and many feel she wanted a shoulder to cry on herself but turned cold when Tabish needed the same from her.
Several fans think she only accepted Tabish as a way out of her father's strict house, which is why the Urdu saying "mil jaye to mitti, kho jaye to sona" (worthless while you have it, gold once it is lost) keeps appearing in the comments. Others believe the sudden freedom after a sheltered life is what changed her, and some admit they misjudged her friends, who now look far kinder than Hurmat herself.
Kainat and Tabish win the audience over
Hurmat's friend Kainat has become a fan favourite, with thousands of likes on comments calling her mature and sensible and saying the actress deserves a leading role of her own. Tabish and his mother are also getting warm praise for how they look after Hurmat and her mother, which makes Hurmat's behaviour sting even more for viewers.
Shahveer Jafry is earning credit as well, since viewers who once doubted him in a serious role now say he is doing a great job, and the actor playing Akram has drawn compliments too.
How Hurmat is doing in the rankings
Hurmat gained 33.7M views on YouTube over the last seven days, which works out to about 12.1M views for each of its two weekly episodes and puts it at #2 among Pakistani dramas for both the week and the month. Episode 7 has reached 14.1M views so far while Episode 8 has 11.8M, so the audience is holding steady from one episode to the next.
What viewers are saying
