That being said, I completely agree that Yumna and Humayun had no compatibility, and the show took a bizarre turn when it failed to explain why the self-righteous female lead would fall for a gunda. I’ve criticized this aspect multiple times here and in the show’s thread. Frankly, the ratings it received are far more than it deserved. Many viewers, including myself, dropped the show midway because it simply didn’t resonate.
Using the GM to justify SMD’s failure doesn’t change the reality—it’s a terrible show. Everything, from the writing and direction to the acting, fell short. Even Wahaj, despite the hype surrounding him, delivered a mediocre performance in this script. The clips shared everywhere else and in the forum clearly highlight some underwhelming moments from him. No one expected much from the rest of the cast, especially Maya, since it’s widely known that her acting isn’t strong.
Reviewers are primarily calling out Wahaj because he was the only one people had high hopes for in this project. Everyone feel bad for him because they care.Criticizing Yumna, mocking her appearance, or undermining her previous work won’t change the fate of SMD.
