@bold Could not have said any better. I second this. That's why I again and again say actor playing the role is very important. I root for him bcz the way he plays is..

I have to remind and convince myself that he is villain, he will get punished 😂😂😂

The star of the show, hands down 👏

I’m looking forward to his remaining arc. As long as he ends up where he ought to lol. Shahzad Nawaz is gonna kill it

OMG even Something Haute reviewers did not catch the meaning of what Zaid said to MJ 😂😂😂

See! How can you blame the audience lol. If you make a scene that inconsequential this is what happens. They thought he might have meant Ayra too or his initial friendship with MJ in the beginning episodes 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

This is why I keep saying perspective, scenes, backstory flashbacks all this is needed to sell this point. Otherwise there’s no point to add it at this stage of the story. Fucshia didn’t even mention this detail in their review - it was completely overlooked. And now Hassan and Amina from SH also brushed past it in confusion

I had watched 2 other reviews: Noman Aleem and AK Buzz. Neither caught it or mentioned it.

I really feel they don't want Zaid to surface those feelings. It can't come up while he's devoted to Ayra. He confessed this now only because MJ asked him pointedly and Zaid believes as always he should be fair to her too. It's a very thin line they have written their hero on- he has wooed and won one and loved and admired the other and lost her once.

For me, as a viewer, if they don't do it very subtly, I'd say he's cheating on both. That's why I still don't think there was a place for FB till now.

There's always the question. If he loved her and moved on, why did he choose her again? It could have been any other girl, but her. That aspect of his character is very gray and the only way they can make us respect him is to keep us guessing, knowing the hero has locked it away and never means to open it.

They can make him say he has nothing for her now so it's a pure business deal to marry her...then he could have had that intense hatred track as well...and the second marriage and him assessing her again...then it's in a dangerous zone where he's checking her out while he's married to Ayra. We wouldn't feel the same purity in his feelings towards Ayra or MJ. Purity is not the word, perhaps...decency ...or... respect...and they wouldn't be able to develop it like him reading Mubashira like a second reading...may be his actions would have had more clarity, but it may not have looked respectable is what I feel.

Is this MJ edition 2 much different from the first edition? Not really. She has just mellowed her approach towards him...which actually she was trying even before she tried to force him to accept her. She had shown concern, tried to talk it out with him.and the last distress call to tell him whatever it is, they could talk it out before he took any extreme step ...it's the same MJ we are seeing now...just that the tenderness for him is her main trait now. She's able to take much more than she could before without keeping any tabs. She started giving, saw she enjoyed it more and she decided this is what she wanted.

What does this new revelation do to them now? Was it to clarify anything to the viewer as such? Not really. It was to clarify to her that even if she finds him reciprocating her feelings, there's always the permanence of what her rejection did to him. He's honestly telling her why he can't go beyond that and she can only hope this changes one day. That has to come from him...she can only do this much because he has clearly told her he will draw his limit at one point, no matter what his heart tells him.

This is a very important crossroads Mubashira is standing at. She can wait, hoping he accepts her whole heartedly or she can choose her path. Mubashira might not process the seriousness of what he said, right now...she's uneasy and sad about it, for sure. May be she will revisit this dialogue and examine how it translates to the future of their relationship. For me, this is the relevance of this dialogue at this point in the story...it was not to shock viewers into a revelation...though it served that as well...(even I was shocked she knew about it)

This is why I don't see much point in a backstory. What happened between them is not so relevant to me when I'm waiting to see what's going to happen to them.

@Bold - This actually is the truth, I just did not want to voice it, but I had to agree with you on this! Asif is a dominant parent - despite being an achiever and the able heir to their family legacy, Zaid is constantly subdued by his father. Asif is the head of the family and his word has to be followed. Yes, Zaid denies his father, rebels against him, expresses his displeasure– but you could see his character holds this suppressed reverence towards his father – it could be a mix of care, admiration and love, but it is there in his voice and body language when he interacts with his father and calls him 'baba' (even when he rebels!). Regardless of everything Asif did, I am not sure Zaid was angry with his father – displeasure and disappointment may be, but no fury - what he did with Ayra's family was nothing short of criminal, even Zaid acknowledged that, despite that he was only disappointed on him. With Zaid's moral compass, one would expect him to be furious, but he was not or he just could not. Even after his marriage with MJ, He was channelizing the rage he felt for his father's doings towards MJ, his inability to directly declare his father responsible for Ayra’s misery was obvious – actually, he credited all that to MJ saying that Asif is doing all that because of her (He is in denial that his father would have done exactly the same even without Mubashira in the picture!). I found this as very interesting. As the story unfolds and more points are being added to Asif's criminal record, I would want to see how Zaid will react. Honestly, I don't know whether I can believe that Zaid could be the one bringing Asif down - Zaid has a softer edge to him (definitely maternal inheritance!), I don't know whether he can plot to hurt his father.

On a lighter note, I really want to see the downfall of Asif, but Shazad Nawaz is making it really difficult - I actually really enjoy it when he wins . The actor's portrayal is just perfect - his body language, voice, diction, personality and styling; the sense of colonial sophistication he exudes through his character is just brilliant. He was such a perfect casting choice - while enjoying his victories, I had to pinch myself and remind that he is the main villain and should be punished - face palm

Asif is not going to put down Zaid and his love story ever again, all he's going to do is to whimper and pout... he's really a child and definitely occasionally Zaid needs to discipline him. This time around,I hope it's not as severe as cutting off from the whole family.

The actor is such a delight...even Azekah has chemistry with him in this childish track. 😂Asif always brings out the best in Ayra.

it’s seriously baffling to me the amount of time spent on Zaid/Ayra and also just Ayra when they’re not even endgame 🤦🏻‍♀️

They need at least 5-6 proper closure episodes to dissect Zaid MJ properly once Ayra is no longer in the picture for whatever reason. And keep the focus on them. Sell it to us, man!

Ayra will be on the picture till the very last episode, trust me.
