I think Shaira would have preferred going to jail over losing Azaan but Noor did not threaten her in this regard. Shaira tried telling Azaan and Razia but Noor told her that she can tell Razia and Azaan but they won't be around her 24/7 and she will commit suicide. Noor showed Shaira a box full of ways she was going to kill herself and there was a gun too, how much time does it take for one to kill herself with a gun?
Shaira didn't agree to Noor's demand because Noor threatened to commit suicide, even then Noor told Shaira that she knows Shaira won't give her Azaan then Noor asked Razia to fix her marriage with Khalid. In Shaira's eyes, Khalid is a man who tried to molest Noor, Noor told her that she will commit suicide after her marriage will Khalid, I went to this mindset where a molestor is getting a chance to finish what he could not complete because Shaira stopped him and it was a very disturbing picture for me. It was gives that Shaira will stop Noor's marriage and divorce Azaan.
She told Azaan the truth next day and she had to see Azaan and Noor nearing to a cliff ready to die, she was to lose Azaan in anyway, either he will die with Noor or live without Shaira.
I would have filed a case against Noor and got her arrested for attempting suicide and Shaira could have done something else but she is a young woman, it is not a daily occurrence in our life, we are not ready to deal with situations like these. She will grow old and think that she could have handled it differently
About Azaan marrying Noor, I still believe that the marriage did not take place as they didn't show the marriage scene properly.
Yeah, I understand what you're saying. But Noor was waiting for a reaction from Shaira - thats why all of her attempts were such BS attempts, because she wanted Shaira to give into her demands - that also means Shaira did have some time to tell Azaan before it got to the point of where it really did in the show. It honestly takes a split second to tell someone - she shares a room with the man, and Noor isn't privy to all of their conversations. Azaan's reaction is irrelevant to what Shaira should have done - because I think someone of her character, she should have spoke up. She shouldn't have kept anything hidden - Khalids 'molestation', Noor's 'attempted suicides', nothing.
Also, I just can't buy into the fact that threatening suicide is not a daily occurrence as an excuse for Shaira. I understand she's a young woman and its not a normal situation - but they've clearly established her character of being wise, logical, and just. That's why she's so different to Noor. The first thing someone should do when they see someone struggling is to get more help if they (Shaira in this case) can't help them. That's near common sense. AND, she grew up in London didn't she!??! That's such common subject that is discussed throughout school and life (mental health, suicide watch, helping those who look like they're struggling etc), it just doesn't make sense to me as to why she didn't speak up after the first time.
It's such a serious thing - to threaten suicide (I'm not defending Noor here) - that you would think that Shaira would secretly tell someone else in order to help Noor because she cares that much for Noor (which is something they also tried to establish). Not being ready for these things is the reason why Shaira shouldn't have handled it on her own to begin with and she should have told someone else. They could have done something - gotten professional help, put Noor in mental institution / psychiatric hold, house arrest, stick one of the many maids they have to keep 24/7 watch on her, etc.
It just doesn't add up and I blame it on bad writing. The only way it makes sense to me is that they've shown - which is something I consider a weakness in Shaira - that she likes to handle problems on her own. She handled the Khalid-Noor 'molestation' situation on her own, without consulting Azaan/Razia, and she initially tried to handle Noor on her own, again without consulting Azaan/Razia.
I don't hate her or anything, obviously, but Shaira isn't a perfect character. She didn't do what she should have done as a wife - share her problems with her husband so they could figure it out together. That's what he's there for. Her naivety and her need to fix everything on her own was her downfall in this situation. I facepalm mostly for Shaira's sake, because I still think if she had spoken up, at least the second marriage (whether fake or not) wouldn't have happened and she wouldn't have to be in the situation she's in right now. But then, we wouldn't have a story now would we?
