Ain’t that the truth lol

She wanted a Murtasim to stand up for her and got a Zaid instead 😂

I’m not disagreeing with a lot of this. Ayra did seek blood money that is justified. Even if she went in for revenge, I would have thought it was justified. This narrative that whatever Ayra did was just because she loved Zaid isn’t sitting right with me. She didn’t have to move into that house. Asif is pure evil and Zaid’s first wife, who Ayra is insecure of lives there and will be a part of his life. She didn’t want her near him and MJ wanted Ayra out too. Obviously they don’t want each other in Zaid’s life. MJ is conspiring to steal the contract from Ayra and getting her fired. Ayra moves in, demands MJ’s room, sends invitations out in MJ’s name and invites her dad. One may be more corrupt than the other but the motivations are the same. They’re trying to demean each other and one wants the other one out of Zaid’s life.

Everyone else’s flaws are being highlighted. MJ for not telling the truth and showing empathy. Zaid has owned up to everything and then some. Just because Ayra hasn’t committed crimes means that we paint her as someone completely different? Even you’re saying that many things she did was a reaction to trauma but Ayra isn’t owning up to any of it. It’s like it didn’t happen. Innocent Ayra married just out of love and has no accountability on getting herself in any of this mess.

Many of Ayra’s claims are just theoretical. She said even if she was sat quiet in a corner, this would have happened to her. If she worked for their business, she would have no importance there. She never tried these things. I still think the worse that would have happened to her during this Turkey trip is that Asif would ignore and dismiss her. He didn’t conspire to organize this trip just for the sake of torturing Ayra. What happened to her was terrible and Asif and Rayyan need to pay. This is a different situation but Ayra needs to admit her shortcomings in this marriage too…even if it was trauma induced (I still think a lot of it is just her personality).

I agree that Ayra isn’t a docile girl, so why are they trying to portray that way all of a sudden. Zaid can’t go on a business trip because she can’t take care of herself? She wasn’t imprisoned before he left. She could have left. She wasn’t that vulnerable. Zaid screwed up with the Rayyan thing and this is one area where I agree that he needs to take responsibility.

She did admit it. That she was fighting against these people when it was never possible for her to win. She’s accepted defeat. I don’t understand what more is wanted from a character who had odds stacked against her before even going to that place. What is the actual expectation here? She lost the project she worked so hard for, she lost her job. She could not get Zaid to do anything about Rayaan. She talked about her job with Asif herself and tried to convince him politely. And she never wanted MJ out of the house, she wanted to leave in a moment of weakness. But overcame it and apologized. When did Ayra ever say that she wants MJ out of the house? Never. It was MJ who said that she is going to drive Ayra away.

Because of the power imbalance and lack of scheming no matter what Ayra does it’s not going to compare to what Asif and MJ are capable of. The one thing she tried failed miserably which was just pure foolishness. Maybe the problem here is that Ayra is a victim sure but she’s not just gonna sit there and take it - she retaliates , fights for her place and respect and maybe that’s not the usual “victim behavior” we usually see and people take it as something negative- I actually like that she’s not the typical victim. Her reactions are very human

If we’re on the topic of not admitting mistakes, has MJ come clean about anything? Has Zaid apologized to MJ? Their crimes are far greater in my opinion because Zaid’s behavior is basically emotional abuse and MJ went for blackmail and fraud. So like… I don’t understand why Ayra has to meet some standard here. She has a reason at least to react the way she does 🤷‍♀️ And like I said Zaid’s support for her is passive and he thinks that’s good enough but for someone in her situation who’s still healing and reacting after trauma, she needed a stronger husband to stand by her no matter what. And zaid is not that person. He’s not assertive and holds no real power there. Which is why she had to use her own independence and rely mostly on herself.

Maybe you think Ayra had no place in Turkey but Zaid should have at least thought about the implications of leaving her alone with Asif and Rayyan who she had told him was a threat. He took it all so casually because he himself was over the ugly history of Asif and Ayra. He just wanted everything to be normal without understanding Ayra’s position. She had literally just gotten fired and was miserable. He could have taken her had he been more assertive - after all he wanted to protect her right ? Did he not know his dad ? - or he could have responsibly had a talk with Ayra and left her at her Bhabhi’s place. Something from his side to show “concern” but he left without any such concern for Ayra.

I think it all comes down to how you view Zaid’s support for Ayra. Some say he went the extra mile for her and always put her first. But I don’t think that’s the case. I think for a girl like Ayra and her situation far more support was needed and Zaid failed at that. You’re right about one thing that they should never have come back to the house but lived on their own. But they made that fatal mistake and lost all power. And Ayra’s issues mostly stem from grappling with that lack of power

This is a different situation. There are 2 wives that technically should have the same rights. He really didn’t ask for 2 wives. That’s the point though, Zaid isn’t as strong as Murtasim and is a little too go with the flow type. This is his struggle that he’s getting out of I suppose. The concept of polygamy is uncomfortable so I don’t think we are supposed to feel good about it.

yep. His “go with the flow” wasn’t good enough for Ayra. Was easy for him to forget everything but she couldn’t forget. She needed a stronger man after what she had been through. Especially given who she was surrounded by. Zaid is not strong enough for someone like Ayra anyway (who’s just a stronger more self reliant person than both zaid and MJ ) but he’s enough for someone like MJ. For a trophy husband he’s fine.

anyway now is Ayra’s chance. Maybe she’ll find a man better than zaid haha

I think the problem with Bhabi's dialogues to Zaid was that she painted Ayra as a doodh Ki dhuli Hui ladki who married Zaid because she loves him and nothing else which is not the truth.She absolved her of all her mistakes in the entire fiasco.Obviously,she hasn't committed any crime and is far better than MJ and Asif.She is the victim in all of this as well and has suffered a lot.Ayra married Zaid because she wanted Asif to bend which she told her bhabi "Izzat se leke jaana" and all alongside her loving him.If loving him was the only reason,she wouldn't have put forward the condition of family acceptance and would have wanted him to divorce MJ.She did accept that she would never have been able to fight them and win over them in the 2nd last episode but not any other thing.Zaid has accepted his share of mistakes in the Rayyan matter infront of MJ.MJ is yet to accept any of her wrongdoings(I hope atleast this happens) Zaid is yet to accept how he wronged MJ.Let's see what happens in the last episode.

In the era of Animal and Kabir Singh , heroes far worse than Zaid have got the heroine. At least he isn’t slapping his wives around and never forced himself on anyone like many other typical Pakistani male leads.

Exactly. If everything is brushed under the rug , why is there an exception for Ayra somehow ? Lol

I don’t understand the double standard especially since she always always faces some kind of consequence of her actions anyway. The rest don’t. People want her to admit the fake wife fiasco but girl already got punished for it - she was locked as a result and nearly assaulted. If anyone has paid for the crime, she has. And her crime wasn’t even that huge to begin with 🤷‍♀️

ugh gross. Haven’t seen these two movies and never will.

Zaid is pretty problematic too. He’s a walking talking red flag. I know a lot of people enjoyed his reactions to MJ post marriage and how “she has met her match” and took it to be an indication of Zaid’s strong personality but it was actually the OPPOSITE of a strong personality. His reaction was a weak man’s reaction to something out of his control. He showed zero maturity and responsibility in his behavior and that is the problem. Even that early on it was obvious that Zaid was not a strong person, but a weak man.

He might have some element of a moral compass and he isn’t a criminal, but he’s still a red flag. Which makes sense because the show is called Mein and it’s about flawed people. You can’t have a Saad or Murtasim in this show lol. They would have never treated MJ that way after consenting to the marriage.

Poor Ayra just fell for the wrong version lol. This one is perfect for MJ but Ayra needs someone stronger, because her expectations are a lottttt more than MJ’s and Zaid continues to disappoint
