I started watching this show only for Yumna Zaidi. It is a fact that many people did not know or were not interested in Wahaj at all. Yumna was the one who was coming into TB after Pyar Kay Sadqay and Bakhtawar's success. So the initial pull was always Yumna Zaidi and kept on watchign the show for her only.
I have always been a Meerab fan and have always supported Meerab. So saying that Murtasim is the crowning glory is false especially when you are supposedly giving a review. There is a difference between reviewing something and providing your opinion. Reviewing needs critical well rounded analysis, encompassing the 360 view of everything. A review needs to take into consideration opposing views and then be synthesised into cohesive argument. You can't say ohh it is my opinion and then call yourself a reviewer. No then it means you are just a drama watcher like you and me giving our opinions online.
There is a huge segment of TB audience that is watching the show for Meerab and Yumna Zaidi. Go online and check on other social media platforms how people are bashing Murtasim. People bashed Meerab, now they are supporting and loving her. It was Yumna Zaidi who made Meerab relatable to people despite the script being completely pro Murtasim.
A character that got all the leverage of the script, all the marketing, cast and crew's word of mouth and then became famous does not merit givign all the credit to that actor only I think.
Yes, a character that did not get any support from the script, or marketing from the PH or the channel or any crew member, yet people root for her, support her, relate to her then I think the actor able to pull that off deserves all the praise and glory.
So yes for me Yumna Zaidi is the crowning glory of TB, not anyone else. I do genuinely think that Murtasim could have been played by many other so called handsome actors given all the support Murtasim's character got but playing Meerab effectively could not have been done by many. Only a few maybe but then the admiration that people have for Yumna Zaidi that helped propel Meerab's character's relevancy would not have been there.
