In the interview, Hira Soomro kind of said that for Maa Begum, Murtasim was her priority. And Murtasim and Mariyam never had that kind of bond. She also mentioned that they did not have many scenes. She has always been in search of the love which she missed from her family.
Maybe she is just trying to justify her character ….we never saw that in the show . I can’t imagine someone like Murtasum wouldn’t have a good bond with his sister …I wil believe only what’s shown to me . Ma begum is like my mom…stern, believes in family values and traditions …maybe that’s why I can relate with her . I have absolutely no problem with the values and traditions we were taught to follow at home hence no problem with ma begum either . Yes she has done a few undesirable things but she did those as a mother …that way Meerab has done things that were not desired either
