I expected Meerab's character to be strong from the teasers released before the show started airing. I am a bit disappointed now. I feel that Meerab's character is sacrificed a lot to highlight Murtasim's character.
Slap
I was watching SH's review for this episode they told that a girl who was fighting for the rights of their domestic help did not even take a strong stand against the slap. I agree with them. It was so disappointing. She was shown to be a strong girl. She should have taken a strong stand for herself regarding the slap. There is not even a mention of the slap after the incident. It was shown from Murtasim's perspective. That slap was the first step for Murtasim to fall for her.
Accident
Wasn't Murtasim driving when the accident happened? Wasn't he responsible for putting their lives in danger? At the end he emerged as a hero who put his life in danger to protect Meerab. I was reading the comment about Murtasim being responsible for the accident. I was also thinking that it was true that he was responsible.
Jealousy
I don't like to see Female Leads getting jealous. And here a girl who wants to become a lawyer is getting jealous of Haya. Now Meerab's character is just confined to get jealous of Haya. I am happy about Rohail's entry, at least now she will think about her studies.
Meerab before and after the parentage truth was out are two different people. She has her basic traits intact, but the very ground on which she fought for her ideals was shaken the moment she knew Waqas and Anila were not her parents and the family she despised was her real family.
There are multiple dialogues that she says after she knows of her father that she feels humiliated and snatched off her dignity to hold her own and fight after knowing she was abandoned by her real family.
I remember one that she says to Murtasim 'ab toh har koi aata jaata kuch bhi karega mere saath'. This itself explains that she lost the will to fight for herself. The contract was the only brave step she took after that. Otherwise she didn't fight anything else. The Meerab before would have never agreed to the marriage in the first place.
