Iām going to repost my post from DT2 when I was the only one clamoring about how Meerab mustāve been Murtasimās childhood love. I figure theyāre lots of new viewers since then and this would be a fun discussion to have rather than wondering about separation etc. here are my supportive points for the theory not in order of events
āI feel even more strongly now that Murtasim has always loved Meerab from childhood/adolescence.
The way he checks her out through the mirror during the tea scene. Seemed like he had the hots for her already. He sighs loudlyāseems like a sigh laden with longing.
is fixated on Meerab during cake cutting. Has an intense stare (although at one point he does look at his watch as if itās getting late)
after the accident and in the hospital, Murtasim is too concerned about Meerabās hand
Murtasim is always in a bad mood when Meerab visits. She ruffles his feathers in multiple ways. He cannot be indifferent.
on their wedding night, Meerab says ātumhari dil ki murad puri ho hi jati haiā
duting chain scene he says ātum bhi to mere heat agayi hoā
at bday party, āise tum batati ho ya mein bataoo? TumHari wajah se chup hoonā then dragging her away like a jealous boyfriend
calling her and asking her ākaha ho tumā when he was going to pick her up on her bday. Too much Haq for baba ke dost ki beti
āmeri sari fikre tum se judi hainā on terrace
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 sheād be a bad match given his position as a feudal familyās head until the situation turned out to be how it did.
finally Murtasim was happy and relieved when Meerab said yes at the Nikah. Like he was fulfilled despite the non intimacy cause. That has to stem
