Shabad: Did Mihir Ahuja's Ghippi stay footballer or turn Ragi singer? Beautiful and wholesome ending explained

Shabad - Reet Aur Riwaaz is a title that tells half the tale but narrates a whole life story of the recently released Zee5 series (available for streaming on OTTplay Premium). It is about choices and decisions within an Indian family that worships Waheguru. The story revolves around Ghippi, who is seen as a soccer player but is expected to be a Ragi singer to take the family tradition forward. He is the only son within the family and thus, is 'naturally' expected to carry the legacy forward. Did that happen though?

Shabad ending explained: Did Ghippi stay a soccer player or turn a Ragi singer?

With the decision of being a Ragi singer forced onto him, Ghippi, who stutters when put under stress, took a bold decision. In his last attempt to seek forgiveness for his act, Ghuppi announces that he would fulfill his duties as a son, but not alone. Bending the rules for someone more deserving of the title of Ragi singer - his sister - he offers a duet. She hesitantly agrees to the same, but they create beautiful harmony. With the one move, Ghuppi opens doors to viewing women as equal in places of worship, while also helping his father keep a promise.

In turn, the father, proud of his son for the first time, decided to let Ghippi pursue his passion in football. Harminder (Suvinder Singh) drove Ghippi to the match that was important for his son. There, Ghippi performed and won the match for his team. Just as the filmy moment came to a wholesome end, a message flashed. It was 'Waheguruji da khalsa, Waheguruji di fateh (Devote yourself to Waheguru and watch how you win in life).' In the literal sense, both the father and son won in life after all the struggles they went through and finally found their voice in their own unique ways.
