Tere bin is running SOLELY on Yumna and Wahaj's chemistry, the sparks onscreen are undeniable but I also feel, it is being overtly sensationalised on social media. Twitter fans care zilch about characters and watch the show for romance, so only that aspect of the show is highlighted.
I have noticed something about Aamna, she does not like Yumna a lot. She made sure to point out Yumna's huge forehead (when Yumna seems insecure about it already) while saying Hania looked exquisite in her wedding dress for MPHT. And I have watched enough of her reviews to say that. She is biased and it is a well known fact. And yes, she is far from being a feminist, which in itself is quite a convoluted term, almost not perfectly defined yet. I do see Wahaj and Yumna getting some side eyes from the industry that is anyways hypocritical. I hope their bond survives this.
I felt frustrated with Amna review of the wedding episode and meerub consenting to marriage episode. Amna missed the point that meerub didn’t pick her wedding dress or the make up, she is an unwilling bride so she is not supposed to look happy and pretty. The costumes are supposed to look big and cumbersome like as if wearing some else skin going to live a life of imprisonment. Also meerub in the dargah she is crying for days, her identity is destroyed, she is depressed ofcourse she will look washed out. Yumna is a character actress she will know meerub is not in the right state of mind so I don’t think she would have wanted herself to look like a princess, I trust yumna judgement. Yumna grounds meerub in realism and gives her the humanity that makes us sympathize with her plight.
Hania character is doing love marriage so ofcourse she looks fantastic.
