As much as I dislike Mahira, I always feel all she wanted from Asim was to be with her. But since she was with Paras and hated Sid it was not possible.
See even after he tore her letter, but said sorry, he was like u forgive me? She nodded in an instant. She didn't nominate him for jail, didn't give him 0 tag or nominate him yday which she could have with good reason.
Kala dil she gave bcoz it was him or Vishal.
So i feel Mahira defo. Had a soft corner for him always.
