Myraa Sareen as Zainab Shaikh<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leading the story in Riwaj is Zainab Shaikh, played by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/global\/celebs\/myraa-sareen\/filmography\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Myraa Sareen<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Zainab is a kind, loving young woman. She is a dutiful daughter who gets married due to familial pressure and then suffers oppression. She endures all the taunts, household burdens, and humiliation silently until one day, when she just cannot. Then her husband leaves her with a mere Triple Talaq letter, which becomes the last straw. Zainab decides to fight for her rights and stands tall against all societal and political pressure as she tries to get Triple Talaq abolished. Fans of Myraa Sareen will surely love her in this film.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Mithun_Chakraborty_as_Ramzan_Qadir\"><\/span><b>2. Mithun Chakraborty as Ramzan Qadir<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If Zainab is leading the storyline, her biggest pillar of strength in this journey is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/global\/celebs\/mithun-chakraborty\/filmography\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ramzan Qadir<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the Supreme Court lawyer, played brilliantly by Mithun Chakraborty. Ramzan, who once left practice due to a tragedy, enters the courtroom once again to help Zainab in her battle against injustice with his legal expertise. If you\u2019re a fan of Mithun Chakraborty movies, you should definitely add <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/global\/movies\/details\/riwaj\/0-0-1z5711935\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Riwaj<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to your weekend watchlist.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Aftab_Shivdasanias_Hanif_Qureshi\"><\/span><b>3. Aftab Shivdasanias Hanif Qureshi<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, let\u2019s talk about Zainab\u2019s manipulative and controlling husband, Hanif Qureshi. Played exceptionally by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/global\/celebs\/aftab-shivadasani\/filmography\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aftab Shivdasani<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Hanif embodies everything that\u2019s wrong with the society\u2019s patriarchal mindset. Initially, he\u2019s extremely sweet to Zainab, but after Nikah, he stands with his family and fuels her oppression. Later, when she retaliates, he attempts to coerce Zainab into Halaala, fearing legal trouble. However, luckily, Zainab exposes his deception publicly and vows to end this unjust practice of Triple Talaq. His performance as Hanif would make you want to watch more Aftab Shivdasani movies like this one.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Anita_Raj_as_AmmiHanifs_Mother\"><\/span><b>4. Anita Raj as Ammi(Hanif&#8217;s Mother)<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When people said, \u201cWomen are their own worst enemies\u201d, women like Hanif\u2019s mother is who they meant. Instead of supporting or uplifting her daughter-in-law, Ammi, who is a staunch believer in rigid traditions, enforces cruel norms on Zainab. She even forced an unbelievable amount of household labor on her and orchestrated her secret abortions. With a stellar portrayal by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/global\/celebs\/anita-raj\/filmography\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anita Raj<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Hanif\u2019s Ammi symbolizes the older generation that upholds oppressive customs without questioning their impact. If you weren\u2019t already a fan of Anita Raj movies, you\u2019ll become one after watching this.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Zakir_Hussain_as_Hidayat_Khan\"><\/span><b>5. Zakir Hussain as Hidayat Khan<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next on the list is Hidayat Khan, a Supreme Court lawyer who opposes Zainab and Ramzan in their legal battle. Played brilliantly by Zakir Hussain, this character represents the community\u2019s resistance against change. He speaks in support of the Triple Talaq law, which showcases how the legal system and communities are biased regarding religious laws. If you enjoyed watching <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/global\/celebs\/zakir-hussain\/filmography\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zakir Hussain movies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and web series like Murshid, you\u2019ll definitely appreciate his performance in this one.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Advik_Mahajan_as_Arbaaz_Khan\"><\/span><b>6. Advik Mahajan as Arbaaz Khan<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next interesting character in this film is Arbaaz Khan, played by Teri Meri Ikk Jindri fame <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/global\/celebs\/advik-mahajan\/filmography\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advik Mahajan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. While Hanif was an aggressive, extremely patriarchal man, Arbaaz was the complete opposite. He was a sweet and loving guy who had genuine feelings for Zainab. Despite being rejected by her, Arbaaz never wishes ill upon her.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Jaya_Prada_as_Zubaida_Khan\"><\/span><b>7. Jaya Prada as Zubaida Khan<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next in line is Zubaida Khan, played beautifully by the veteran Indian actress <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/global\/celebs\/jaya-prada\/filmography\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jaya Prada<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Zaubaida supports Zainab in her journey and becomes another pillar of strength for her. Jaya\u2019s powerful performance is something you need to watch out for when you <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/global\/movies\/details\/riwaj\/0-0-1z5711935\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">watch Riwaj movie online<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Naresh_Puri_as_Supreme_Court_Judge\"><\/span><b>8. <\/b><b>Naresh Puri as Supreme Court Judge<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another important character in this story is the Supreme Court Judge who rules over this historic case. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/global\/celebs\/naresh-puri\/filmography\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naresh Puri<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> essays this role with utmost sensitivity as he tries to understand a case that could change the course of women\u2019s rights in the country. His ruling marks a turning point in the battle against Triple Talaq in India.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Kum_Kum_Das_as_Sabiya_Shaikh\"><\/span><b>9. <\/b><b>Kum Kum Das as Sabiya Shaikh<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An underrated character in this storyline is Zainab\u2019s loving and supporting Mother, Sabiya Shaikh, played by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/global\/celebs\/kum-kum-das\/filmography\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kum Kum Das<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
