Ayeza and Wahaj deserve a better story . Their chemistry is one of the few positive things from this mess of a show.

They definitely deserve a good drama with decent storyline where story would be based on their characters

ARY asked for this 😂😂😂 Drag em. This is what happens when you’re making a mockery of your own shows 🤭

For me there’s 2 different ways of looking at this. There’s a rich/corrupt vs middle class struggle where Ayra comes out as the victim where the need to see the oppressors pay is a legitimate one. Even here though, everyone’s egos are at play including Ayra but she lacks the power and control and ends up losing and becoming a victim.

The other angle is Zaid/Ayra vs Zaid/MJ on who will become endgame. Here I feel that MJ has given up some of her ego for the sake of Zaid. She started off just trying to avoid a divorce but her feelings feel genuine because of her expressions when no one is watching. Now her ego did creep up when she stole the contract and got Ayra fired. Is that going to be a problem in their relationship going forward? With Ayra, from the beginning I have never noticed her valuing or appreciating him. He said I don’t think I can ever impress you. There was an emphasis showing that he was the one making the effort in the relationship. There were enough signs thrown in and it has be for a reason. I feel like she does whatever she wants but has high expectations of Zaid. I feel their relationship never started off with a strong foundation and is derailing. Meanwhile there has been growth in Zaid and Mubashira’s relationship.

I feel like we can root for Ayra’s justice while realizing she isn’t the right fit for Zaid. For me the only endings possible are Zaid and MJ or everyone going their own way. Zaid and Ayra were never meant to be in my opinion.

Oh she has been lol. And Ayra flipped the other way and became dumb and foolish for no reason 🤣 Poor writing is when you bring down one woman to prop up the other. Not the first time it’s happened but it’s always tiring to watch. It’s such a lazy tactic.

I think most people believe MJ is in love but yeah she still has to win over the audience’s full trust and respect - I think this Ayra track is an opportunity for that. For her full redemption. I think once she decides to leave Zaid herself is when her arc will be complete - doesn’t actually have to happen but her just deciding this would make her growth complete. It would be selfless and she would be thinking about a future outside of marriage. That would definitely sell her growth 👍

A lot about this love triangle isn’t palatable as it is 🤢 So I hope whatever happens it’s done tastefully and without trying to make characters ooc for no reason. I’m all for Ayra going down revenge lane but at some point I also want her to snap out of it and come back to her senses ✌️ Making her dumb enough to destroy her own marriage is ooc enough 😂 Just so MJ looks like the better option 🤦🏻‍♀️ I mean… c‘mon zanjabeel! Do better

Maybe we can disagree here but I don't think Ayra has done anything out of character or MJ has been tried to be whitewashed by downplaying Ayra.

This is what I feel. Ayra has always been this way. She was written like this from the start. Her circumstances have changed but her characteristics are consistent in my opinion.

I get the selfish bit and being the less giving person in the relationship. But she’s not a schemer. The writer tried to make her one and maybe that’s why the scheme was so dumb and foolish. Why did she do it? Can you think of a logical reason? What was the goal? There’s none - because as soon as zaid got back she and asif would have had to have this chat with him lol. So from a writing standpoint - completely illogical and stupid plot, which came at the cost of Ayra’s character becoming a schemer. She is someone who may not pick Zaid’s calls but she’s not an outright deceptive person or liar. And the writer has made her this just based on pettiness and nothing else. People don’t change overnight like this.

So no, I don’t think being a schemer was ever a characteristic of hers. That was an MJ characteristic which we have yet to see her outgrow from.

This isn’t some novel writing tactic being used. Ayra is just being dumbed down to prop up MJ as the rational option. And as the audience it’s kind of bizarre to see it happen. So many ways to break up Ayra and Zaid - you don’t need to butcher her character too. So it’s the stupidity of the last few episodes that are frustrating 🤷‍♀️

if you look at comments a lot of people feel the same way. That they are just turning Ayra irrational and illogical just to make her look bad so a Zaid MJ endgame would be acceptable. The writer is just making any character do anything at this point. There’s no logic

I saw many comments for ZaiRa actually.Not only here but even on YT or other platforms there are people rooting for Zaid and MJ.This when many of MJ's actions were questionable.Imagine if it wasn't so,everyone would have rooted for them.

That’s not my point. My point is that there shouldn’t even be any Zaid and Ayra support because this drama was supposed to focus on Zaid and MJ. But instead the more angst and romance has been focused on Zaid and Ayra. It’s only fairly recently that zaid and MJ have gotten some nice scenes, otherwise before it was torture and nothing sweet between them. Any love and romantic gesture zaid has shown (barring the last episode) it’s been related to Ayra. On TOP of that ITS WAHAJ AND AYEZA ! It shouldn’t even be unpopular ! Why are people not picking them and the other pairing of Zaid and Ayra? Isn’t that unbelievable ?

The fact is no matter the end game , the drama as a whole did not do justice to this pairing and instead divided the audience - did you even think this would be a thing before starting the show? When you saw the ost ? Nope. We all thought Ayra would just phase out and the story will be Zaid and MJ only. But this drama has revolved around Ayra and her dilemmas and Zaid catering to her and marrying her and then romancing her for the most part. No wonder the audience is divided. I agree that the Zaid MJ support is there but so is the Zaid Ayra one lol. But that shouldn’t have been the case. It wasn’t Zaid and Ayra’s story.

Get what I mean? That’s why I said ARY with its captions is just mocking its own self because they’ve focused on everything else except the Zaid MJ part and instead condensed all the good scenes in one episode to pacify the audience. It’s ridiculous 🤦🏻‍♀️

She was annoyed when he called her - he was basically wasting her time. However did she value his time? If this isn’t ego, I don’t know what else it is. Even the fake wife scheme was an extension of her trying to assert her power over Asif - I feel she is delusional sometimes that she thinks she can do this. It started off with her crashing Asif’s meeting and then sitting on his seat at the head of the table. Then she wanted to show Asif that she could set him up like her set her up. She was so high on power that she couldn’t even keep the scheme a secret to herself, she gave herself away. She only picked up Zaid’s phone to tell him about the fake wife - she had been ignoring him before that. Classic Ayra that only pays attention to Zaid when she wants to and will dismiss him otherwise.

This is not to say everyone else is innocent but they’re kind of the established rich, powerful and corrupt types. They’re more self aware of what they are doing. It’s like they know it’s bad but don’t care but Ayra does things and then acts innocent. She doesn’t realize or doesn’t want to realize what she has done.

Na this is like saying if MJ can scheme, blackmail and commit fraud maybe murder can be an extension to that mindset.

Ayra has always been driven and career focused and was rejecting her rishtas herself by telling them she wanted to do a job before thinking about marriage. Why is that so bad? Even her Bhai told his wife to back off and that she’s not ready for marriage but bhabhi wouldn’t listen 🤷‍♀️ It’s not a negative trait to focus on your career instead of marriage first.
also the contract. If she was so into mind games why didn’t she try to use working at the rivals to mess up Asif some other way too? Why was she shown to be the only one working hard and being honest about her job there? MJ was ordering clothes , zaid was putting the contract into the hands of his team. Ayra is shown to be honest in her work. She got the contract fair and square. She didn’t use any scheme or silly tactic to win the contract , she did it through fair means. How is this person suddenly pulling up a fake wife stunt ? Sitting on the head table ? Please. It’s completely bizarre and ooc. And she’s not the only one the writer has made ooc to serve her plot. Asif’s shock at the wife thing and getting embarrassed was also ooc. Zaid not doing anything about the Rayaan situation is also ooc - because it serves the plot going forward.

It’s just crappy storytelling when you can have just any character do anything. If you see any critic reviews they’re all in agreement that the plot twists are bizarre and characters can be made to do anything, pretty much. The rating for the writing in Mein has consistently been poor no matter which review you watch 🤷‍♀️ and for once the critics and audience agree on this.
