In one epi her mother said this

But perr sai ki beti hai toh usse karna padta hai

In short she is a caged princess

I still dont understand why her parents never cared about it before jab wo aise hi ghoomti rehti thi😆

guilt driven ppl aise paro run to nahi karta hai🤣

Wouldn’t you run if you hear bad news about someone who you know cares for you?He’s not a stranger. She knows the fool is here just for his one sided love. She wanted him to return home safely. She wouldn’t bat an eyelash if he was still in Lahore and she heard about his Demise.
As I said she didn’t give him any thought once she left Lahore. And made it very clear to Farhad not once but twice.

She’s knows he loves her, but she doesn’t love him back. Right now it’s just guilt. You can disagree. No worries.

Omg guys, a pigeon has predicted that Taimoor will probably die in front of Feedi, leading to Feedi’s deranged homeless state

It doesn’t make sense though because Feedi has already left and Taimoor will probably die Nazim Shah’s death

I thought she was too cold, not calculative though, yes she did feel drawn for a fleeting moment but she somehow managed to hold herself from melting in his presence at least, she did not even shed a tear in front of him. Also, as Farhad rightfully said it that yes she never told him anything about her feelings, but there is something called basic human instincts and affection.

That's what I am saying .. How can someone all of a sudden turn cold and not show/reflect any turmoil on the face thats brewing inside?? That's why I felt the disconnect. Iqra did show some subtle expressions which I noticed but I couldnt connect to Mahi here unfortunately.

I blame the director who has failed to establish her character well

I think at this point I personally understand Farhad more than I understand Mahi, he pleaded to meet because he clearly was in denial, denial of the fact that Mahi was happy with the wedding. In 10th episode he says that 'Main nahi maanta ke woh khush hai iss rishtey se', so he surely believed that Mahi was just doing it because that is what the most practical thing was at this point. Yes, I think in the first confrontation she called out his class and since then he did believe that class difference is a huge barrier but, today it was more like she wants a guy only with money and power, and then equating his love with money, that was the bottom line for the baddua, I think he himself answered the question when he said 'I always thought you to be different than rest of the world'. I agree with you Feroze was excellent, if anyone deserves the credit for this character being so talked about then it is him and the writer.

To me, him not accepting that she has agreed to the marriage is certainly disbelief.

@bold: I agree. I missed this slight connection that now finally he has come to realize that she doesnt want him because he doesnt have material things to give her compared to what taimoor can give her.

@italic: And hence that statement. Its like he had to eat his own words when he said 'bade log itne bure bhi nahi hote' dialogue in lahore. How naive & gullible 😳

Farhad made the decision of walking away, infact promised to walk away if Mahi could convince him that she is not in love with him, so there was no need of deciding again, wasn't it clear when Fakeera reminded him that 'he gave his word' and even Mahi told him that she kept his zidd so he shall keep his word, so I think the walking away was fine, I would not tolerate it had he stayed back.

And that was fine. It was a condition he had put forth - she held up her end of the condition and now it was his turn. But again, him agreeing to him disappearing .. felt like a scene was missing

I honestly don't have complaints against anything in the story because I am watching it as a standalone and not as a season of KAM

To me - Mahi was clearly conflicted - wanted to be with him, accept his love but couldnt. So I expected that conflict to have translated in her expressions in some form - maybe by turning her back to him and mouthing some of the dialogues. Then those wouldnt have appeared as cold. The entire scene felt like soeone had switched off the emotion out of her like turning off the switch

Somewhere, these guys are trying to cash in on Feroze's acting, his tragic hero wala history & obviously KAM name. One of those reviewit.pk article said very clearly - this season is commercialized more than prior 2 seasons. And I agree with that. In trying to make this a cash cow, they forgot to touch on finer things - Mahi's character development and the development of the relationship between the two leads.

Yaar did you guys see Mahi's reaction when she said, what can you give me and Feedi says my heart, she had so hard time holding herself together there, she was losing it. 🤪

Oh absofreakinlutely - She was taken aback!! And I absolutely loved that subtle expression of Iqra's

Originally posted by: SteFanSalvaTor

Yes, her subtle change of expressions from grief to kind of surprise like 'He actually left'? . It seemed more like she waited for him to leave but she did not know how to process the reality that he has actually left. Also, the fact that he kept his promise, it meant a lot to Mahi.

It was a fight between her mind & her heart .. Her mind wanted him to leave and her heart wanted him to stay!!

Did you guys see Feedi's breakdown though, after he finds her bead, that was some suffocating acting by Feroze, and how is he subtle and gorgeous when he is crying onscreen? I think it hurt him more because he realized that he delusional he was, till today he thought everything was real, today he realized that the reality is that nothing was ever his. He accepted the fact that his Mahi indeed wasn't his, she was just another example of a rich and egoistic woman. The performance was👏

Coming back to Mahi's breakdown, it was obvious that she was broken because she could feel his heartbreak, she just could not see him hit such a low state of emotions, it agitated her, she made him cry and it hurt her more than his baddua. Also, the moment Fakeera tells that he already left, as he had promised, he kept his promise, Mahi was losing herself, for a moment it felt like she thought that 'wish he would stay back'. Again, brilliant performance by Iqra.

👏👏

Same here, I am watching it as a standalone show, and I believe if it has been successful then it definitely deserved it. Feroze's name and KAM title both were very good decisions from the business POV, and it only worked in the show's favor I think. Yes, they did lack in making Mahi's character a more consistent one, but well, we all have been complaining and now I think we are used to it. However, from the past 2 episodes Mahi's character seems to have more depth and sense than she ever made, so yeah it is a progress😆

About her being cold and emotionless, I think that was the entire idea right? She had to be rigid and tough so that she convinces him that whatever he believes is just his delusion, had she not been emotionless, he would right away read through her.

Even Farhad is trending now .. LOL😆

Yes she did not do something very big, but the thing is she took him granted, took his feelings for granted too, and exploiting someone's naivety just for fun isn't cool. There are people who are sensitive and deeply root for validation, Feedi is one, and it has always been established that he seeks for validation because he has been a loser in general sense.

This is what I had referred in my earlier posts - she led him on and for given he is a simpleton who was never valued by his father, valued & respected for his work & that too by some rich people led him to believe in them & their feelings. Like you said seek validation - very normal for people who have never been appreciated for anything they do!

Feedi, at this point did not care anymore, koi aur situation hota tab may be he would be hurt that koi aamir zaadi ayegi and aise mazaak ke naam pe acchayi ka faida uthayegi, ye toh nahi hosakta na. But I think for him the only big issue was mazaak mei hi Mahi did fall for him, and he saw it in her and he practically showed it to her too, she is denying because she is scared, writer has emphasized it again and again.

I think the scenes were cut here to have made him feel that he saw feelings in her eyes in Lahore that she is now denying back home

I think scenes were cut in Lahore which created the entire debate, but well I think the Lahore prank is not important anymore because as it is clear that he saw feelings in her eyes, he felt she is scared of her family, she accepted by her own words that had she not been a royal things would be different, she broke him so that he does not develop any kind of hope for her. There shall be no debate about what Mahi feels now, it is clear that she considers him more than a friend, the denial was natural, but her change in expressions when she heard that he left, then bhabi telling her that 'you did what any girl would do at this situation' clearly indicates that Mahi was not happy to reject his love, she wanted to accept it but she just cannot.
