Tuesdays should be officially declared as Feroze Khan Day on Twitter as the feeds are bombarded with his pictures, screengrabs and dialogues following every new episode of Habs. The same happened last night when avid fans of the drama got to watch a new episode after two weeks’ break due to Eid ul Azha. Feroze was the most-tweeted Pakistani actor last night and started trending at number 1 spot on Twitter in seven countries including Pakistan, India, Oman amongst others.
Just logged in, and the very first thing I saw was his name at the top of trending list. He is trending at #1 in Pakistan ❤️. You deserve this adulation Feroze, for the magnificent performance as Basit.#FerozeKhan #Habs@ferozekhaan pic.twitter.com/X1RiSq4Lfz

A Twitter user mentioned that this has been a norm since the day episode 1 aired and the popularity is still going strong after 10 episodes.
Tuesday should officially be declared as #FerozeTrendDay as he’s been trending since the 1st episode aired & its 10th week of him making his mark & not just in Pakistan but in multiple countries.
I love this hype🙌🏻❤️ May Allah bless this popularity ❤️#FerozeKhan @ferozekhaan pic.twitter.com/M1jxl5RrGW— Anaya (@MaYaVids) July 19, 2022
Here’s why fans are hooked to it…
Habs, airing on ARY Digital, stars Ushna Shah and Feroze Khan as the lead couple. Ushna plays Ayesha, a young educated girl from a middle class family, who has to earn money to support her family. Feroze plays Basit who belongs to an affluent family but is from a broken home; his parents got divorced when he was a child and his mother left, leaving him with abandonment issues and a deep mistrust for women.
Basit doesn’t believe in the institution of marriage but in a twist of fate, his father puts a clause in his will that Basit won’t inherit anything unless he ties the knot. In order to avoid his mother’s involvement in his marriage, he proposes to his personal assistant, Ayesha. However, Ayesha’s mother strikes another deal with her rich son-in-law to accept his proposal. Episode 10 shows that Basit and Ayesha have started realizing from their wedding night that the marriage is a compromise. Basit also understood that he has made a few empty promises as the responsibility of a relationship is bigger than he had imagined.
Habs is a not a new story but is like a breather in fast-paced argument-laden dramas that we get to watch these days. The drama has its own pace; it is not rushing towards any high points or conflicts but is based on dynamics of two families that are dysfunctional in their own way. The fresh thing about Habs is that the characters are written in shades of grey. You will hate them one day but will relate to them or cry/smile with them in the next scene because they seem relatable and humane.
What’s more to like about Habs is Ushna Shah and Feroze Khan’s undeniable on-screen chemistry. While the two haven’t had any sweet or romantic moments as of yet, their simple interactions ignite sparks. Feroze has played Basit with subtlety and soft demeanor. He is suave and charismatic, has a nasty temperament but is also child-like, which is very different from the actor’s usual angry young hero roles.

Ushna, on the other hand, has also lifted the simple character by giving a beautifully nuanced performance. Ayesha is strong, empathetic and responsible, yet she has a voice of her own. Habs talks about filial responsibilities and the ever-changing dynamics of different relationships and we hope that the drama sticks to its wholesome core till the end.
Here’s what fans have to say about Habs
Feroz and Ushna chemistry is so Lethal. Loving 🤩#FerozeKhan #Habs #UshnaShah pic.twitter.com/5TT5mmkMF9

What I liked here was how both of their characters were balanced throughout the argument! Both were equally right & just in their points! Basit was right that she shouldn’t work there anymore, she doesn’t need to! But I could also get Ayesha’s POV!!#FerozeKhan #UshnaShah #Habs pic.twitter.com/Wn42h3VqFu

Feroze as Basit,nothing comes close. Portraying such a complex character so perfectly is not something everyones cup of tea. Expressions, dialogue delivery, body language. Everything was so flawless. He’s just very close to my heart😭#FerozeKhan pic.twitter.com/WwlreXkbuN
