The entire molestation trope seems like an easy plot device. A lot of more things could have been done. I can prolly list a few and come up with more. With this molestation scene what happens is that Ayra has conveniently become a victim again. After the Fakhar group and fake wife stint she pulled, now no one will remember that because Rayaan all of a sudden told his classist attitude to go to hell and decided to do something like this.
When the show started, I could easily paint a picture of all four kids. All grey, none negative.
Mubashira: Hot headed, narcissistic, implusive, dominant. Even though Mohib was a gold digger, her behaviour wasn't always the best. Her character arc would be chaning herself for the positive and gradually get better mental health wise. I would have had her apologize to Jaffar for her nutsy behaviour and to Rayaan for being physically and verbally abusive (how tf could she say things like tumhe paida hote hi maar dena chahiye tha).
Zaid: Passive, silent, at times moody, but hardworking. I could see him either marrying Ayra first and then realising its a bad choice or do the entire second marraige thing and figure out things wouldn't work out between them. At the same time, he had to get over the bitterness he had from MJ rejecting him and learning to stand up for himself in front of his father.
Kashmala: Sweet, innocent, living in her own bubble. She's the kind of first who would say ye to anyone who would've pretended to be the prince of her dreams. Kashmala's arc would've been divorcing Rayaan (if they were to get married at some point) and leaving the country to become a strong independent woman, eventually finding love.
Rayaan: Suave, charming, silver-tongue. The entire molestation arc has taken away from the fact that he has commitment issues because of his parents and has been treated like the spare. His arc should have been focussed on him healing his relationship with his family, remaining single in the finale (because he wasn't fit to be a husband or father at this stage), taking some sort of center-stage in the family business and consciously working towards healing himself. Of course there should have been a scene where he would apologize to Kashmala.
All four could have had their own individual arc instead of this convenient trope being thrown at us.
