Sanam is a practical girl, who doesn't think romantic love stories will ever happen to her. Because she is so used to seeing the practical side of everything; rent to be paid, business to run with salaries to be paid, hospital treatments to be arranged etc.
Even when she was stood up at the altar, or rather humiliated, she was extremely hurt, but valiantly put aside her hurt and thought out ways to get them back on their feet. She wasn't marrying Anwar for love, but rather to secure her family together as one unit. But she got doublecrossed so badly by the rat.
She is not perfect or infallible but she values her self respect. She admits she has a horrible temper, and she can't control what she says when she is angry. But she readily admits her mistakes and isn't reluctant to apologize. That's the part of Asad in her that I find most endearing. Strong minded independent girls like her need men just as strong in the mind. Rehan would've just done whatever she wanted.
But she is a girl, a normal girl who finds men attractive. She fought with Aahil, found him Immovable in his Ziddi. But she found him admirable when his mother came into picture. And he looked good in a sherwani, that she stopped to stare...😆...
She was touched when he looked after her after Kabristan, his fairness about someone he 'hated'. Also after the human washing machine, she was very grateful, but each time he pushes her away, confusing her.
Sanam loves differently. Hers isn't a 'dhak dhak time-stand-still-bouncing-in-the-clouds' kind of love. Hers began as a realization that Aahil is a very good and genuine person, with an outer mask of hardness and arrogance. She is very grateful for his help in her life, and wants to show her gratitude by caring for him.
She finds him very attractive, but doesn't feel worthy or even deserving of a rich man like him. Even now, if he didn't say he loved her, she would be heartbroken but she wouldn't blame him at all. She would have left him with no hard feelings.
He has to tell her fast... ! Or he's going lose the love of his life ...🥺
