"Mein" (ARY Digital) - Ayeza Khan, Wahaj Ali #2 - Page 49

This is a commercial drama and the main purpose of it is to get TRPs. The reason why they marketed it as a Romance drama was because Wahaj got huge popularity because of chemistry at that time and by marketing it as a romance drama they could get some of the viewership of his previous show. And also they might have known that when they market a drama as a romance drama, audience will wait for the romance to start and start watching the drama and at least for 10-12 episodes they watch it in hope of getting the romance. When they start realizing it as a non romance drama they still watch it for few more episodes thinking that romance might start. At last, when they realize it completely that there will be no romance by that time they are already half way through the drama and also considering the fact that it is a limited series, they continue to watch it ultimately giving the drama TRPs.

I hear ya. Mub getting a divorce and moving abroad wouldve been the most practical thing to do. She wouldve done this had she been a strong character.From the very onset,she was depicted as a character with inherent weaknesses, its so evident in her tendency to constantly yell--a trait that doesnt mask but rather exposes her vulnerability.

And Zaid is similarly fragile in his own right, he struggles to confront his father and he just cant assert himself openly. His internal conflicts/covert actions underscore his own vulnerabilities.

I dont think any of us ever saw these 2 characters as 2 strong individuals--their character arc so far doesnt reveal so! These 2 are ladened with vulnerabilites, coupled with narcissistic n self-victimizing tendencies. Their impulsive actions n ego clashes has led them to this current state. Their lives were sailing smoothly up until that night (Mub-Mohib anniversary) and that one act has disrupted their equilibrium.

The end of episode 18 feels like the "INTERVAL" for me. At this juncture, both these characters have achieved what they wanted - Z getting married to Ayra; Mub staying married --n they are all for all the wrong reasons!! So probably what unfolds next will be the true evolution of these characters n culmination of their individual journeys.

I had initially thought that Mub agreed to this Z-Ay marriage to get rid of Ayra once n for all but I dont know anymore :). I think Ayra has turned morally grey for sure n I dont blame her for it.

I still think MJ’s motivation was to eventually get rid of Ayra but I think Ayra will be more of a challenge than MJ had anticipated. I’m honestly curious to see how Zaid is going to handle this situation. Both women are surprising him so far, lol.

Also is MJ currently staying in Zaid’s room? There’s no intimacy between them right? It’s just strange to think they shared a bed when Zaid has been so cold with her. Pakistani dramas don’t always explain that and then the woman just ends up pregnant.

I agree. Also when MJ brings Asif for marriage, Zaid's expression was of surprise when he looked at MJ. Also when she congratulated him, he was looking at her weirdly. In promo when Ayra says she will stay with Zaid in his room, Zaid was kind of shocked. Idk why I feel that Zaid will soften now for MJ. May be will start liking her.

@bold totally agree. I know 2nd mrg is allowed but they make that so casual and a joke where kisi se kabhi bhi kitni bhi shadian karlo.. maintain the sanctity of mrg man. Hadd hai.

I think he’s already softening towards Mubashira. The looks they exchanged with each other felt special. I don’t know. From the promo though, I think his shocked expression was about something else. When she talks about staying in his bedroom, she sits on the chair beside Asif but when they show Zaid’s shocked face, Asif is behind him. One thing is for sure, Ayra is going in full force in dominating behaviour.

Yes. That look was special though. Let's see how he handles things.

Also yes, obviously Ayra ne inke naak me dumm karna hai ab. Unfortunately I would have liked that if I liked Ayra. But I can't

Also Zaid and Mubashira shared room and bed before he left. But I don't think so that they consummated obviously

Yes. I agree. His ego and guilt. Also the look he gave Mubashira was different. Even Mubashira has tender expressions when it comes to Zaid. May be because of her vulnerable situation. Their few interactions or eye contacts are lot more interesting that all of Zaid and Ayra scenes. I want to see how he handles both of them now bcz as far as I saw, he can't handle shit in his life 😂

He can just do Zid..

For first time we have observed softness in their eyes for each other. It would be the turning point for zaid mj's life.

It is so hard to understand Ayra . Even if None of this happened, still she would have put Zaid at a distance, as she did today . She doesn’t like herself to belong to someone, and wants to control her life. With this behavior Zaid would have always felt like an outside, wear as MB would always want to take care of each and everything.

Ayra is the most weird character, due to hr weirdness we are unable to feel for her and her family.

Even I dint connect but the end if u remind ur self this is Pakistan where culturally marriage is essential then things kind of make sense

According to some news divorce rate is increasing in Pakistan. Girls are coming out of toxic marriages.

Script is actually flawed. A girl like mj, went so far to save her marriage. Why she needs a stamp of marriage, why can't a girl can live happy without marriage

She can get a divorce but the pressure to marry again will always be there in a country like Pakistan... Also she needs a companion I feel .. She is kind of lonely with nobreal friends and is making moves... She knows zaid from childhood... So she knows what she is getting into... And it is working zaid now is acknowledging her
