People have been loving Ehd-e-Wafa ever since it aired, however, one scene, in particular, has been getting a lot of love!
This is the scene where Gulzar was introducing himself but couldn’t remember the word for a dehaaridar mazdoor, and after he was told to introduce himself in Urdu, he spoke with utter confidence! And this very scene had a girl named Rida in tears:
I was watching ehd e wafa and I was laughing when gulzar couldnt find a word for 'dhearidar' in eng. But watching him introduce himself with so much confidence for wtever he is made me cry.

This very scene hit close to home and gave her the courage to share her story, to introduce herself the way it should have been:
I never had a courage to share my story. Never.
I never told anyone I'm a daughter of a v normal electrician who runs a shop. He spent 6 years in Oman working under arabis where he was struggling with his health due to kidney problems and came back. My mother is a school teacher https://t.co/IYphngeYHw— Iron Woman (@ridarling_) October 27, 2019
She continued to share how proud she was to be the first doctor in the family and it was all because of her parents:
I have no shame in introducing myself that my parents struggled so much for me. I'm the first doctor of my entire gaun, my entire khandan. My mother used to look me in room when I lived in gaun just so I might not b among gaun k bchy to learn Punjabi and bad habits.

Rida then continued to share how proud she was to have a father who always encouraged her to study:
My father lost his thumb once while turning the tube well on back in village. I have seen him working with thumbless hands, winding electric motors at nights. I used to study he used to wind motors and motivate me. Krlogi tum Rida. Prho prho. Shabash.
— Iron Woman (@ridarling_) October 27, 2019
And how the incident of her father losing his thumb became her biggest motivation:
His hand without thumb has been the only true motivation to my life whenever I felt like dying or giving up. I can't stop sobbing at nighte whenever I recall once when I asked him 'mushkil ni hota? He smiled and told me, adat hogai hai'
— Iron Woman (@ridarling_) October 27, 2019
I always keep his pics working at nights and thumbless hand in my phone. When I feel like dead, I see those and get up again.
— Iron Woman (@ridarling_) October 27, 2019
She then revealed how this was the first time in 21 years that she had the guts to share this:
I don't know how m I even typing it right now. 21 years and I never had a courage to speak up. NEVER. But whatever I am today. I'm proud of it. Whenever I stand out of so many people winning, performing with so confidence. He is the man who hugs me like anything.

And how proud she was of her parents and the life they’ve lived:
MEIN EK MEHNTI BAAP KI BETI HONY PY BOHAT FAKHR KRTI HOON. MERI MAAN OR MERY BAAP KI ANTHAK MEHNAT NE MJE AJ WAHAN KHRA KIA HAI JAHAN SRF BARY BARY LOG KHRY HOTY THY. MERA YE SAFAID COAT MERY MAAN BAAP K NAAM RAHYEGA. TA QAYAMAT.
— Iron Woman (@ridarling_) October 27, 2019
And how her parents too were just as proud of her:
RIDA MJY ALLAH NE DO BETY ZROOR DIYE HAIN. TUM MERA WO BETA HO JO MENE MATOON SE BETI K ROUP MN MANGA HAI. ESA MARD BN K DKHANA K IS QAUM K MARD BETIOON P FAKHR KREIN.

They’re everything!
In tears❤ more power to you no doubt parents are the best gift of Allah
— wajeeha🥀 (@jia_younas) October 28, 2019
Absolutely!
There’s nothing to be ashamed of. I think it’s something to be proud of that how your parents did everything for you and made you come at this level. We cannot thank our parents much
— ingloriouskhan (@ingloriouskhan) October 28, 2019
It changed the perception of some:
OhMyGod ❤️ salute you yar, sach mai, I'm so proud of you, or this is me always less thankful, hmesha wo cheezain dekhna jo mery pas nhi hain, I'm ashamed of myself now, ❤️❤️ more power to you girl 💜 May you prosper more 💛

May Allah bless our parents:
Feeding children with rizaq-e-halal in today's world is not a normal, only heros can do it. Earning through sweat is the highest form of it. So always b proud of ur hero. Also, really happy to c a daughter cherishing her father trust & sacrifices. Majority of youth don't do it.
— Waqas Nawaz Khan (@__WNK) October 28, 2019
This is the impact that strong and supportive dramas can have on the society. More power to you Rida, you’ve made us all proud today!
