I liked yesterday's episode.
For the first time liked Zaviyar's acting during the car scene. I found Hania a little OTT at certain places though.
Wahaj was really good as usual. He doesn't need dailogues to emote which is a really good thing for an actor.
Makers should have established Maheer and Saad's bond for the audience to feel bad for Saad. YT comment is filled with people feeling really bad for Saad but it has to do with Wahaj's portrayal I feel.
From the writing perspective, I didn't feel for Saad as much as I as a viewer should have. If only they had established how close Saad and Maheer are since childhood then Saad's heartbreak would have connected far more with me.
Anyway, story seems pretty clear - it's about infatuation vs true love. Makers want to project the clear difference between the two. While Maheer is infatuated with Areeb and perhaps same goes for Areeb too, she will realize that she truly loves Saad. This is the journey for Maheer is what I feel. So, Saad is gonna sacrifice more and more for Maheer 😆
I do hope he keeps his self respect above Maheer at some point in the story but it will majorly be about how Saad's love will be unconditional as he will keep making sacrifices for Maheer.
Cousin marriage is an alien concept for me as in my culture/religion cousins are considered siblings and it's incest. It's also said that cousin marriages lead to higher risk of genetic diseases. Anyway, I don't want to form a judgement on it. But I am seeing a lot of Pak dramas going for cousin marriage Troupe.
Keeping aside the cousin marriage angle, I am excited to see Saad and Maheer's journey and for Maheer to fall for Saad. It could be a beautiful love story if executed well.
