Basically the entire interview is faysal defending haider, n idk if it’s intentional or not. Probably not but he kinda shifts the blame onto everyone but haider. For example he says dil nasheen got slapped because of the scene with Quran par hath rakhna scene. If she tells the truth, the slap doesn’t happen. Another is if dil nasheen told haider on first day of marriage everything would be fine. He also says often times that haider is the bichara here, not directly say it but in indirectly. He didn’t think haider did much wrong with regards to those scenes in the middle of the drama with mehmal. He said, he told her, he won’t be romantically involved with her. So he is basically in the clear. However imo his actions show a different story. Haider having mehmal in the hotel as mrs haider n spending late nights talking to her. Not really doing anything proper to stop mehmal despite constant complaints from dil nasheen. He did defend those by saying it’s cause mehmal is his cousin n he promised mehmal’s dad to take care of her.
as far as haider’s overall behavior, with regards to how a guy can do whatever he wants n girl can’t is because haider grew up Pakistan n not in uk or elsewhere.
He also said when dil nasheen stopped haider from hitting her in the last episode, it was because of Hamza. She finally has somebody watching her back so she isn’t afraid anymore.
some other tidbits from shooting were that. The entire marriage scene between dil nasheen n haider was shot at night. The car accident scene was shot at 4am. Everyone was half asleep n just wanted to go home.
another one was before the scene where haider punches Hamza. Faysal was trying to get serious for the scene n get in the mood. Then he hears a song playing n his flow breaks. He looks, for who is playing the song n it’s wahaj. Wahaj is just in his own zone n listening to music was helping him get in the mood. Wahaj is apparently very focused in his work. He doesn’t get side tracked by conversations n all.
I don’t watch rabia’s reviews of the drama so idk this for sure but I felt she was team Hamza. So she did try to poke to see an explanation for why haider is portrayed as the good guy. Although she didn’t do it too much cause I assume she wants faysal to come back for an interview again😆 although she told him drama script feels pro haider, to which faysal agreed.
Apart from this, faysal tlked abt how the industry should hire people who can actually act n not just look at face or skin color.
