That's exactly what I feel. Azaad thinks by keeping Mahira away from him, he's keeping her away from any harm and pain that he could cause for her. He knows she's too innocent and just like a child while he sees himself as a beast. He wants to protect her from himself and it's not easy since he has fallen for her. Imagine loving someone badly yet you know if that person gets into a relationship with you, he is going to be harmed. I think any true lover would do the same thing Azaad did, which is sacrifice his/her love and feelings for the well being of their lover.
The only problem Azaad did was the way he chose to make her away from her. His words were extra harsh and painful. I don't think he needed to point out how she's not fit for his love and how she doesn't have beautiful looks and etc. That was too much to say to a girl who regardless of everything still smiles and shows full confidence in herself. He should have been more careful with the choice of his words. Like they say words are like bullets.
Another thing I didn't like was the way he pushed her. Please Azaad is not an abusive person and he's never been one. It was obvious since the first time he pushed Mahira accidently when she went after him to check his supposedly bleeding hand. His face was full of regret and you could tell he hated himself for pushing her like that. I hope Cvs don't ruin Azaad's character like they have done with other male characters in the past. The male lead doesn't have to be violent or abusive in order to express himself or prove a point when will Cvs understand this. 🥱
Other than that, I felt bad for both characters today. Azaad was in deep pain because he had to portray a bad image about himself and he also had to say the rudest things ever to the only girl he truly loved. While Mahira who entered the room thinking she was going to hear the sweetest words any girl would love to hear, came out with a broken heart and trailing tears.
My heart went out for both of them. The episode was so heart touching.
