So I watched the Haute bites, it is rare that Hassan and Aamna is on the same page on Farhad. First of all I am amazed that they did a whole episode on Farhad, seems like talking about the character has another kind of audience altogether. And how come this promo has riled up so much attention, the makers will be shocked too, aisa gazab layega kisko pata tha . Hashim Nadim's interview is needed ASAP😆
I think the way Hassan said that Zaroon, Asher were NOT heroes, he fails to see one thing, that Asher and Zaroon were characters borne into a female centric plays, they were part of love stories where the story was elaborated from the woman's perspective, so they could not be the heroes because their own POV was not at the pedestal, they were flawed in fact problematic too (especially Zaroon), but they were heroes to many, Asher was definitely a morally and ethically strong man, he had trust issues but does he repent, yes, does he intend to make Khirad happy, yes, so there goes the explanation, you cannot judge heroism just based on how the character makes mistakes, if you think a hero is someone who can never make mistake and just saves a damsel in distress then Hassan has to understand that he is highly mistaken the entire concept. And sometimes a protagonist is not a hero too, Aamna has to understand that too, but in this case where they talked about Zaroon, Asher and Farhad, their graph and audience is different and they are rightfully morally good and innately honorable human beings, flawed but good, so they definitely are heroes when they are interpreted.
Coming back to what they said about Hamza and Mir Hadi, first of all can these two make it look like that what Hamza got at the end was deserving? Hamza was punished for his and Humna's mistakes, he had a REDEMTION ARC, how come these two never understand the fact that this remorse and redemption means something? We are talking about characters that are human beings for gods sake, how can a hero have no redeeming arc if he has to be remembered? Mir Hadi had a redemption arc, heck he was a lesson, for many who thought criminal minded hot male leads can be glorified, but he was not, infact Hadi himself confesses that if he is punished it will be a lesson for every criminal on earth who thinks he is above God. Someone please tell Hassan that he does not have the understanding what a gray hero is, for him hero is someone who can save the day, and as Aamna said it is not the modern interpretation. Othello killed his wife out of jealousy and betrayal, he was still the hero and glorified indeed, Lago was not the hero even though Lago had no such crimes on his name, just because Othello was morally a man with honor and Lago wasn't, same goes for Macbeth, same applies for Hamlet, these are heroes whom we have grown up reading, watching assuming to be the men if our fantasy land, and none of them have saved anyone in their stories.
Coming back to Farhad, Hassan was agreeing with Aamna, kya jaadu tha bhai, on monday he was all blind and hating on Farhad and today he had to end up with Amna's conclusion that 'Farhad is a silly boy who made mistakes in love and he will repent', did these two read our thread by any chance that they took our theories out😆🤪.
So it seems, like as I had been saying all these time, Farhad is an immature and silly boy, he does not realize the consequences of his words now, he has never acted on his own mind, I have repeatedly said that Farhad is someone who is impulsive and only reacts to his surroundings, his plea to meet Mahi again was a reaction to Fakeera's adamancy that Mahi does not see him that way, it was more like a repulsive way to therapize him, again he is the same man who rejected a woman who was in his bedroom out of honor, it is not inside him to curse or wish poor for anyone, the constant disrespect and subsequent demeaning of his emotions and reducing his worth to money clouded his mind, disgusted him, made him hit rock bottom and hence the baddua, it was highly wrong of him to even word that out but people have to understand that his humane nature had to burst out some day and it did in the worst possible way. And as both Hassan and Aamna said, it is his journey, he is not claiming himself to be a hero, let the journey end and then we can debate that does he deserve the popularity or the affection he is getting.
Also, one more thing, both Hassan and Aamna asked the question that why cannot Farhad see that Mahis is too rich to be his, well this answer has been answered by Farhad himself multiple times. In Lahore, he was made into a beta by Nisar uncle and bhai by Rida, now jiska khudka baap keeps demeaning for being academically poor, he saw someone rich and honorable like Nisar literally call him a diamond, Rida accepting him as a brother, and then him concluding that 'Aamir log bure nahi hote', that line had a lot of gravity, for him it was human vs human, not rich vs poor at all, yes call him stupid but that was his entire ideology. He believed Mahi is 'muktalif', because Mahi was one of that lot too, for Mahi he was that friend she confided for her 'carefree' time, so when the same Mahi calls his class out and shows him his aukaat, the volcano was bound to erupt. Hassan and Aamna, next time please watch everything before analyzing a character, everything Farhad did till now has been explained by the writer, you can call it illogical or deny it but the explanation has been there.
. Also how difficult is it to acknowledge that the actor is just stellar in every frame, who could bring out Farhad's jahiliyat and his masoomiyat simultaneously onscreen?
