Ever since reviewers appreciated Wahaj's performance more than Yumna in Tere bin, yumna's fans are taking indirect dig at Wahaj Ali, saying his character was meant to be liked and none of his previous shows were a hit, any actor could have performed Murtasim and would still be likable but it's Yumna's performance which is the saving grace of Tere bin.
I disagree, although I'm a fan of Yumna Zaidi and she is the only actor which I likes in the industry currently, I feel that her performance of Meerab isn't her best one. I admired her performance in yeh Raha Dil (She was phenomenal in it) Dil Kya kare and ishq e laa, even in few snippets of bakhtawar I found her stellar, but something about her acting in this drama feels off. Like in pool scene, gajra fighting scene, and many other bantering of them she appeared very over to me. (Just a personal opinion).
I loved her in emotional scenes like when she cried at her parent's doorstep and also when she grabbed Murtasim's collar in latest episodes. But at the same time her Expressions in flirty scenes makes me cringed and uncomfortable to an extent that I almost skipped the coffee scene. I feel that Yumna Zaidi has a lot of innocence on her face, that it gets hard for her to get in the bold aura of Meerab, she is too cheeky and cute for twisted Meerab.
I just feels like the fans are taking everything too personally because it's clear that Wahaj's performance is more good as compared to her because he is living in the skin of the character. Murtasim wouldn't have been likable if wasn't played by Wahaj Ali, even in scenes where should feel angry at him, he brings the innocence and vulnerability to him, that we ends up feeling for him. It's downright discrediting his efforts in the drama. And I don't want to talk about his way of looking because I would end up writing an essay on it, it's just out of the world, never seen any other actor looking at the heroine the way he does.
At the same time I read absolutely different feedback for the characters and actors on Instagram and YouTube. Comments on Instagram and YouTube are pretty soft and likable as compared to Twitter.
