hello everyone! new to the forum! all caught up with the 10 episodes of the show and I have quite a few things to say(actually, a lot😆), mostly about the latest episodes!

the whole hate to love trope has been done to death across all fiction templates: books, movies or tv shows, yet somehow it manages to bring in audience every single time. (if done well, obviously)! Tere Bin is no different, but still quite unfitting to be put into a classic hate-to-love romance. The teasers and posters had me intrigued! Meerab and Murtasim, individually and together did manage to create quite some sparks. What remains to be seen is whether these sparks will create an intensely burning, all-consuming love between these two heirs of a feudal family, who are helplessly bound into marriage! yes, helplessly! 🥺

Beginning with Meerab, she hates the family she's born into, which is legitimate. Because, come on, the way they dropped the truth on her, when she’s already trying to runaway from an engagement, it was terribly insensitive and unfair. A father who deserted her at birth, and never in her infantile years tried to get her back👎🏼. A head of the family, who enforces patriarchy just as equally as the freedom she grew up with😵. And lastly, the jaanasheen of the family, Murtasim who is just as conservative as his Maa, who wouldn’t hold back his hands at the slightest rebellion from her😡 and also, her possible groom. Her meagre expectations lied in her foster parents, but when that door didn’t open (that was cruel, Waqas and Anila! Bacchi ko andar toh bulaa lete!), she was truly forsaken. That is the moment where she made up her mind about getting married, because no way, she could live in that house as a girl who was once abandoned and now accepted. Also, as immature as she appeared in the last episode, I found her really smart too with this whole contract marriage thing😆. There is no way murtasim would have accepted ‘HER’ terms and conditions, unless he was cornered and left in a weak spot infront of the khandaan! This marriage is nothing but a way of getting through life for her because she’s left with nothing else to do. Murtasim right now is nothing but a channel for her to direct her suppressed resentment, agitation and all sorts of negative emotions she has for the family but the only reason she’s able to do so is because Murtasim TAKES it from her and is right now, the only person she’s somewhere close to. What’s interesting is that Murtasim clearly has a LIMIT upto which he can tolerate meerab’s unpredictability and her volatile behaviour. From Yumna’s IV, it is clear that Meerab is going to screwup and that is where Murtasim will back off! I hope they fall in love by then because, angst toh banta hai! 😈

Coming to Murtasim, can I say, Wahaj is ACING it! The moustache, the persona, hotness personified! as a character, Murtasim is both confusing and paradoxical to his standing in the family. The man has such a great personality but gives in way too easily, contradicting his ruff-n-tuff image. Even Haya has some level of hold over him (hate to admit ,but yeah 😭). Meerab, one day, will rule his heart for sure, because the guy is already out of the dislike phase. For a guy as closed off as him, its impossible that he gave into the marriage without having a liking for meerab or without considering the fact that she’s his EQUAL in every possible manner. The contract marriage is bound to get him spiralling because in his personal, most intimate space, he likes to keep things under his control, which won’t happen now. Poor guy! But I am certain about him charming his woman all the way, given that Meerab does not repel him further and does not push his boundaries. He is near to GONE for her, already! But anger management issues toh hai, upar se biwi bhi pin karne wali! 🤣

Haya baaji takes away murtasim’s classiness notches lower and I hope she serves nothing more than an unintended cupid between him and his wife. I won’t accept anything more than that. Maa-Begum should give up on the desperation to see the khandaan expanding because clearly her beta-bahu have miles to cover before they find each other. Anwer, at this point, should do nothing more than being a silent support to his daughter, whatever bratty things she does, the girl deserves some spoiling from the father atleast. Waqas and Anila are spineless anyways, so they can crawl on the ground, for all I care! 🤪

Overall, the show isn’t that well-written and the execution gets shoddy in parts but I am ready to overlook it all, solely because of what yumna and wahaj have managed to bring to the table!

Phew! Done! 😆

Welcome to the Forum...😊

I guess the last line says it for all of us...😆

hello and thank you!

about the last line, it's so damn true. The show would have been regular if it wasn't for wahaj and yumna tbh! here's hoping they have some romance in store for us, for the chemistry to shine through! because potential toh hai

Reality check before I go back to discussing the show on a superficial level.

I wish this show was not as misogynistic as it is. We (me included) are condoning a domestic abuser. The men who regularly abuse or even kill their wives start with a ‘just’ slap or a punch to the wall or intimidating threats about andar ka janwar or wanting to kill her like Murtasim has done. Sure, not every man who slaps his wife or a woman will be a domestic abuser but this is where it starts for those who go on to become chronic abusers.

Can you imagine being married to such a guy no matter now handsome he is or how much he loves you?

And he explains it by saying tum meri baat nahi maan rahi thi?

So Meerab will forever have to give in to her husband or avoid angering him because otherwise she risks getting slapped or thrown about?

🤮

Lmao, not meerab calling haya bewakoof 🤣

I am so looking forward to meerab's jealousy and her reaction to murtasim's chahat and the fact that he has an obsessed lover constantly hovering over them 😆

If the mayoon scene is anything to go by, that stern 'hone wali biwi' was just a teaser. Meerab can eat haya alive, once she's all ready to claim her husband! Until then, murtasim will have to wait 😆

Also, what is up with Yumna's styling? She is so pretty, but her wardrobe, makeup and hair so far have been very mediocre. The only exception was the mayoon scene where she looked really fragile and beautiful with the soft makeup look!

Also I feel even more strongly now that Murtasim has always loved Meerab from childhood/adolescence. Meerab probably also knows he used to like her in the past.

Meerab said “tumhari dil ki murad puri ho hi jati hai”

Other supporting points:

- at bday party, “ise tum batati ho ya mein bataoo? TumHari wajah se chup hoon”

- calling her and asking her “kaha ho tum” when he was going to pick her up on her bday

- “meri sari fikre tum se judi hain”

- he tells ma begum his only reason for refusing the marriage is that Meerab is not happy

- repeatedly says Meerab is rude blah blah, not part of this family. This must be a defense mechanism

- he probably put a lid on his feelings because he knew she’d be a bad match given his position as a feudal family’s head until the situation turned out to be how it did

- finally Murtasim was happy and relieved when Meerab said yes. Like he was fulfilled despite the non intimacy cause. That has to stem from old love

We are going to get a lame explanation for that “meri chahat thi woh” episode. Maybe Murtasim told family members there’s a girl he likes but she’s not from a feudal family and they nipped it in the bud back then before even asking who it was. They probably told him he had responsibilities towards the family and ma begum, unaware that it was Meerab herself, was eyeing Meerab for Murtasim to keep the property within the family.

🤮

I cannot disagree with your opinion! As much we are drawn towards the show, the lines of misogyny cannot be blurred, atleast here! It isn't subtle by any means and we are consistently witnessing it through Maa begum making sure the women in her family stay repressed and Murtasim, by his frail control over his anger, which he directed towards Meerab in her most vulnerable state! A dent to his otherwise enrapturing persona. The next week is going to be even more harsh with the damning slap because the girl danced on her walima! Oh wait, we have more with murtasim's inner 'jaanwar' awakening and pining her to the wall. I don't know if they ever will try to redeem him for this or whether his actions are redeemable. If they do, it will make me feel a little less guilty for watching the show.
