I basically only dared to watch because of Wahaj - I think a lot of people did. Either him or Ayeza fans. So the disappointment is understandable. However this can be avoided if people don’t follow actors and instead look at who is directing /writing the drama. And the production house and what they have given us in the past. It gives you a good idea. Not all Pakistani dramas follow a format like Mein but yes a LOT do. You just learn to judge better with time which makers to trust and which not to.
For example Jannat se Aagay - a 7th sky production. You know you’ll see quality sets. Nothing like Big Bang. Writer Umera Ahmed. Who is outstanding. And director Haseeb Hassan who has done excellent work in the past. So even if the cast has new people or not the most popular actors, you expect to get your money and times worth at the end.
With Mein people just followed the show because of actors. Imagine this show with new unknown actors and trust me nobody would tolerate this story lol. It’s not well written or well made. It’s better to just go with dramas whose makers you can trust instead of following actors. Because good and bad quality stuff - both are getting made. Just have to pick and choose wisely. Green is a new channel that’s making a lot of good quality content but you wont necessarily see a popular actor on the drama covers. But they’re good
As for the touchy feely thing, I know wahaj has no reservations with that. I know Yumna does and Ayeza does too. TB was rare for Yumna but because she’s besties with Wahaj she was comfortable enough to push her boundaries in that. So I guess the reason in Mein is that maybe Azeekah was very comfortable with those hug scenes and romantic scenes so Badar made the most of it. And also there’s a comfort and tenderness in the Zaid Ayra dynamic. During their sweet times at least. So logically it makes sense for them to be touchy feely - especially in their post marriage honeymoon phase.
Having said that, Badar also did not direct the Zaid MJ scenes to their maximum potential. The blurred hands are proof. I don’t think Ayeza has any issues with holding hands at all. That’s on Badar
