This is uncut version of latest Tere Bin review on Drama Kya Hai.
The host mentions talking to Bushra Ansari and Wahaj about Merub's character.
He said these people told him that in the script Merub had these mood fluctuations and was still so resistant because all throughout she was getting a lot of slaps (thappads) - that is why she would be more responsive to Murtasim in one episode and then act angry or withdrawn in the next, and was still so resistant 40 episodes later.
But Wahaj refused to perform any other thappads.
However, once the thappads were removed, they made no changes to the script and did not tone down Merub's responses.
That is why Merub's character had seemed so inconsistent and her continued resistance baffling for some viewers.
Honestly, I would rather take a bipolar Merub than a Merub whose reactions are justfied by a continuous barrage of thappads.
Any dreg of respect I had about Nooran after hearing this is gone. It also makes me wonder if NM was really writing a love story or has a very perverse view of romance/love.
