I think he made the whole show watchable when writing was shit after episode 12 or so....
wahaj just was too good n so we could not connect with areena mohabbat or majors crying for the broken wedding
Yoi make a fair point, I must admit I stopped watching the show in the beginning.
What I am trying to say is just like someone can overplay toxic to the point of us eye rolling, one can overplay nice to the point of boring. After all, actors can only do with what they have. Wahaj’s character had a single tone and that is “Mujhe pyaar hua thaa”
Balance is very very important while writing a character or there must be a character arc. I think we are getting to see an arc for Maheer but Saad needs to get on an arc otherwise for me, he comes across as boring.
Have you watched the movie Voh Saat Din - Naseeruddin Shah plays the nice man, but he is never boring. In fact, I think the director gave him a daughter so that we get to see another layer of the character. There is a Tamil movie Mouna Ragam where the husband is a nice man, but never boring, because the director gave him several layers as a manager of an office, of being able to stand up for his principles.
I do hope that these layers were given to Saad in the previous episodes which maybe made him an interesting man. There is a beautiful telefilm called Hindola where Faruq sheik plays the nice husband, and where the wife actually says “Voh boring hue tou kya hua? He is a solid man”. In fact in the telefilm the husband wife relationship is so lovely and Faruq Sheikh plays the boring but nice husband so so so well you can’t help but fall in love with him.
