Ep.1 How does it feel when you catch up with an old friend after ages? 

 Feels as if they never left your side!  

The same happened to Kalimat’s host- Shaharbano, in this episode.  Talking to her friend - 

Shaharbano went on discussing their school memories, the advancements in Saudi Arabia, and talking about how they witnessed the history being made.  Wondering who’s Shaharbano’s friend? 

It's Sitara Khan, Shaharbano’s childhood friend. 

In this episode, Shaharbano let her friend talk about her life hurdles, how she (belonging to a conservative family) convinced her family to let her move out to another city in Germany for higher studies and not only that but Sitara also told that she got full support by her family. 

 Sitara Khan also quoted that “We, women are born fighters!”  

Anyhow, the conversation continued as Sitara shared the challenges that came with immigrating to Germany from Saudi Arabia. Sitara’s mother was the only parent she had at that time, dealing with the loss of her husband (Sitara’s father) but guess what? Sitara proudly mentioned that even such circumstances didn't stop her. Her mother, despite hard times, made efforts to create a future for her children, which Sitara truly admires.  

And then, the conversation transitioned to Sitara’s life in Germany. A new life with tons of difficulties such as feeling unseen by people around her. It was difficult to survive but Sitara didn't lose the courage. She lived each day with pride!  

The episode went quite interesting ahead as Shaharbano and Sitara continued talking about inspiration in life, the definition of a successful life, good habits, true love, what is that one thing Sitara should have learned earlier in life, and then the conversation ended with positive vibes!
