"Mein" (ARY Digital) - Ayeza Khan, Wahaj Ali #2 - Page 92

I feel like this drama is kind of all over the place and the way it’s handling some important themes is dangerous if not handled responsibly at the end.

I might be one of the few folks who are okay with him ending up with either Ayra or MJ under the right circumstances but man do the themes need to be done justice !

There’s the whole love versus social class commentary going on with Asif - his classist and criminal behavior should not go unpunished. He has been the most horrible parent to Zaid and also ruined a family. I don’t care if Ayra and Zaid don’t end up but Asif needs to be proven wrong in his mentality and get what he deserves. He can’t be proven “right” in his opinion that class matters more than feelings. So if they turn Ayra evil (which I don’t think they will, whatever she will do will be justified), and prove asif right then that’s bad story telling.

The theme of marriage equating success. I swear if the writer pulls some regressive shit at the end, I’ll riot lol. At SOME point Mubashira HAS to realise her self worth. I’m sorry but her obsession with marriage as some kind of label is super regressive and that thinking should not win. She has to decide to leave zaid at some point, whether they’re endgame or not. That amount of self insight and change is required for her character. She can’t get zaid as a trophy husband, she has to actually love him and be selfless in this love instead of scheming to guilt him and get her on her side.

Watta Satta and how it ruins two families. If anyone doesn’t know what that means it means how Kashmala and Zaid were traded into the same family and how Mubashira kind of still controls Kashmala and Rayyans relationship. First through threats and now through taking rayyans shares. Our society is filled with this menace that destroys homes all the time. So some acknowledgment at the end of how terrible this idea was to begin with.

The way Jaffer as a father is to MJ - a constant enabler. And it’s made her into the narcissistic person she is, thinking only of herself and how she can control everything because “she’s Mubashira Jaffer” - and how he’s always favored her over his son. This drama’s theme of how parenting can go really bad is another theme. I’ve seen people be supportive of Asif and Jaffer as parents and it baffles me every single time. They have as much growth to do as their kids lol. Jaffer is an enabler and asif is just a toxic control freak.

Lastly. The vague theme of mental health and how the threat of divorce and societal pressures can make it worse. Mubashira has to be shown to conquer this at the end. She’s in hibernation now and thinks her change is temporary but she needs to adapt and change for the better permanently- without any agendas. And actually FEEL the freedom and peace that comes with letting go of control and just loving yourself. This fear of divorce is crippling her to the extent that she picked her husband marrying another woman to getting a divorce ! Totally illogical. So she needs to be free of this fear and save her mental health.

I need these themes to be dealt with responsibly more than who ends up with who at the end. You can’t have their wrong decisions and toxicity be swept under the rug like they never happened.
And this is my biggest concern with the end - if the writer is capable of sorting out the messy themes she’s created. And to a satisfactory extent. Otherwise not hard to imagine the end lol. Zaid and Ayra are either gonna sort out their issues and priorities and be endgame with MJ realising her self worth and walking out at the end OR Zaid and MJ will be endgame with Ayra either dying/or parting ways with Zaid. I don’t think Zaid will end up alone (although he totally deserves to be lol). So my concern is mainly how that ending reflects on THEMES

Is Love ( between two people- Romance) theme of show ? Felt this show highlights how self love ( Not self obsession ) is important.

Mub craves for validation from everyone around her , she feels if everyone around her praises her she has won , biggest example is Zaid - Aira reception she was so happy and elated with social media comments and at being show stealer but she almost forgot the occasion, it was official Aira is zaid’s wife now !

Zaid , we are yet to see his POV or his vulnerability but it’s clear he has always been subdued by Asif , he always has to prove himself to be worthy yet he is never made it to top, all his efforts are appreciated but never actually make the difference he expects . Asif is so vocal and proud about Kashmala and even MJ but when it comes to Zaid he is always first to show his disappointment. Zaid probably craves tht acceptance from his dad .

Why would Zaid need appreciation from dad? He's way better than Asif in his outlook and morals...he can't crave for acceptance from a guy he filed a complaint against- wanting to respect him and feel loved as a son is a different thing. He was the blue eyed golden boy till Ayra came up and ever since has fallen from grace. He might crave reconciliation, I don't feel he needs appreciation. Or may be a little bit from both the partners, not just his father.

Mub is in the process of growing up ...she reflected on how tough it was to go through this and the elation was fake, to irritate Ayra.

The theme is Mein. To what extent is a sense of Mein good...when does it end up being self destructive....

I am watching live epi on the website. So as expected Ayra joined the rivals. But just now in precap she is crying Infront of Zaid & saying Rayyan misbehaved with her. Why would Rayan do it? May be it's the same scene we see in promos & if it's not true then it looks like she will turn neg. But seriously what a doormat Zaid is. He is ok with Ayra working for rival as well???

That Rayan's promo wala scene hua nai. Beforehand Ayra complained about him. So aage kya hoga?

I thought because she gave it back to him, she wouldn't say anything. Later on he would try something. Then she would complaint. But ye toh abhi hogaya..where r they taking it. Looks like Kashmala & Rayan would also separate 😂

How and why the hell is zaid letting her do whatever she wants??

He used to say mj is dominating and controlling isn't aira behaving the same now?

I think Rayyan might do something with aira in coming episodes that clip of Rayyan trying to control will air in coming episodes I guess...

There wasn't much of mj today, I really wanted to see her and zaids scenes in the office

@bold I was going to say the same. They promoted the show using Wahaj & Ayeza. But you hardly see them. Ayra has more screenspace and nonsense. Even her bhabhi's flashback scenes? Why the hell??? Also Zaid was having MJ ke saat ka flashback. Lol

Idk what Zaid wants. He is letting her work in a rival company. I would have understood Ayra if she was doing it for revenge but it's not even that. She just doesn't want to work under MJ. She is highly jealous. I mean wasn't she the one who wanted Zaid's fam to except?

I like how Asif handled Ayra today. When she says she is also a fam member, he was bang on in saying fam doesn't do this. I have no sympathy for Ayra. Because she willingly married into a family who she thinks is responsible for her bro's death. Her motive was never revenge. Also, she had choice to leave. People tell she has self respect, but does that self respect only appear when she wants to do a job. Warna 5 crore lene me no self respect, bring a home wrecker, becoming second wife & then throwing tantrums me kahan gayi self respect. Atleast others don't act to be good. She was same with her brother and bhabhi.

What Rayan said was also very true. She is a home wrecker & 2nd wife. Has no standing.

Idk why Rayan flirted with Ayra. In my opinion, yes, he is a playboy. Very egoistic. But looked like he was provoking and insulting her deliberately. He wouldn't have done anything I guess but she gave it back so ego hurt hogaya baby Rayan ka. Now Idk what he is going to do. I hope doesn't do something low.

Arya is more stubborn than MJ. Honestly, I don't understand Aryas character. But both girls should leave Zaid.

I just hope they don't turn Rayaan negative.

He was having flashback of this scene as well. They should have shown something like MJ & him were getting closer or something. Kuch relationship bangaya type implication.

Bcz it does look like now Zaid is annoyed with Ayra & is being distant....
