The most obvious things is that the leads are cousins which hasn't been shown in other Muslim shows.
They are actually showing the real intricacies of getting married within the family such as the Maami ( Zain's Mom ) being mean to Aaliya before and after the wedding ( I have 2 who are super mean, the other 2 are alright LOL ) . some cultures think it's safer to wed their girls within the family, but trust me, it leads to more problems. Hopefully they will tap into them, but I think the things Suraiya will do are quite predictable..They should have maintained some suspense about her intentions. Like they did in Humsafar and like they do in most Paki shows...
Suraiya not wanting Usman to get close to his family ( typical of Indian wives, no offense, I know everyone isn't like that b/c I won't be that sorta wife but just in general).
They are showing how difficult things can get for Muslim women when they get close to their guy cousins even in a friendly or familial way. In this case, it was intended flirting and all by Zain, but sometimes, people do talk when when we just chill with guy cousins our age frequently. They brought that out well, which was the most realistic part of the show for me.
Although it is a hate marriage, the premises on which it is based is so different from other love-hate stories. Alia-Zain are well balanced people...Zain is not an extreme anti-hero with arrogance and a bad temper. He can be fun too . Aaliya is not a too cultured girl who always talks about what is right and wrong. She is more youthful and doesn't act like typical leads who look way older than what they are because of giving too many lectures and over acting. This last paragraph is just my opinion, but the above 3 paragraphs are the truth lol.
