And the blame mostly goes to shanno's mother and shanno

Shanno was fine with her as long as mehru wasnt in the picture. He was attracted towards mehru and was thinking about her way before the accident. If he gets attracted to a random girl he met twice then it shows how much he was into Amal.

Her mother seems to be a little sensible and more human than the rest. She defended mehru when the father said she ruined the engagement and also called out zain for his bad habits and personality.

Hope Amal don't get forced to marry zain. Zain seems to have a thing for her. I would rather choose her to end with Fahad than zain.

Who is Fahad? Are you referring to Rafay?

I too think this

He already seems to be a devoted SIL and I can't wait to see shanno and muskan bonding because I have the feelings that it will be cute

But he's the one who had sent Dawood to threaten her 🫣

Thanks; I really appreciate that they show Mehru having tons of doubts and these concerns are 100% practical. This isn't a love marriage on her side even though she is attracted to him. It is still a mix of arranged marriage where he has proposed formally and she has decided that given her circumstances, he is the best bet. Yet, she has concerns and she has to figure out how to navigate them.

So I liked that rather than Mehru giving doe eyed looks, she is approaching this still very much like arranged and speaking out about her deal breakers right from the start -- she will not compromise on her principles. I like that she is still cautious and even eye rolls at Shaw's declarations. She is not in love, not yet.

The difference between Rafay and Shaw is that Rafay assumed Mehru loved him and was disappointed that she didn't show him affection the way he wanted. He didn't understand that while it was love marriage on his end, it was arranged on hers. So that mismatch of expectations and reality caused conflict between the two.

He expected her to weep, beg and turn to him when he gave a threat to dump her. Instead, she turned it around and said, "fine". Amal is also similar to Rafay in that it is love marriage at her end but Shaw has never returned those feelings. So just like Rafay, she too is in for a rude shock when she realizes that it was arranged and since no longer convenient, Shaw will break the engagement without a second thought.

Amal unlike rafey wasn't throwing stones in the dark. Shanno has verbally said he loves her and has been taking her out on dates and gifting her stuff and flirts with her. Mehru never did anything like that with rafey. Also unlike mehru and rafey who directly got engaged as soon as rafey confessed, Amal and shanno have been dating for a while. Not just shanno even his mother has been giving her hopes since forever. What shanno is doing to amal is 100% cheating without any ifs or buts. Shanno basically treated Amal like a doormat. He cannot handle Amal disagreeing with him but will stand with a 440volt ki batisi while mehru roasts him till her heart's will. Shanno thought he would never fall in love and just needed a trophy wife who is used to his lifestyle and mindset. As soon as he got attracted to another girl, Amal became irrelevant for him.

I hope mehru will sympathize with Amal and tell her to move on as shanno is not worth it. I hope they don't make Amal any more dumber than she already is and go after shanno after all this.

Rafey kind of deserves it. He has been lied to for a long time and instead of talking with mehru he kept it all in and busted out all at once and used words that cannot be taken back. Shanno even with anger issues and arrogance and attitude never questioned mehru's character. He does like the fact that she is an alpha. Rafey cannot handle someone as strong and independent and open minded person like mehru.

Shanno ka bas khaali baate hi hai. He could have just threatened the mother to harm her daughters and he would have gotten the maafinama. He isn't exactly as scary as he wants to be.

Mehru's boss and shanno's friend.

Rafey totally deserves urooj and her dramatic a**. He anyway loves to believe her lies.

Agree with you but I see Shawn's situation as what some people refer to as "arranged dating" -- basically sanctioned by parents but not quite committed. Yes, they were dating and going on dates but Amal has always been aware that Shaw is not feeling the same level of feelings like her. She has always had to use her parents and Saman to get him to do stuff. He wasn't as interested in her but they all dismissed his lack of interest and indifference as "that is his personality". So they were not in love together. It was actually very much one sided.

So yes, Shaw took her out, flirted etc but it was very much surface level and going through the emotions. It is why Amal could quickly sense that there is another girl in his mind because he was distracted. Now he and Saman are essentially going behind the back and doing all sorts of underhanded tactics and actually hurting two families and two women.

Keeping that aside, what I am trying to say is that not all those who date are actually in love. Sometimes, it is just attraction or infatuation or social pressure. Then when it comes to marriage, they call it off saying they are not in love. People wonder how on earth that happened but what we have to realize that not all those who date have some sort of deep love or affection for each other. Sometimes, it is just flakey which is how one person walks out very easily and then says they are in love with someone else.. So just looking at the psychology of humans rather than the ethics here.

This is what happens when you are in a relationship that is lopsided and there are mismatches in expectations. I have mentioned other points in my post above but to add to them, it also shows the wisdom of being cautious in committing. Till the wedding happens especially in arranged setting, it might be unwise to get so emotionally involved. Also, you shouldn't make someone the centre of your life to the point that you have no identity beyond them. Sometimes, it can be just life or storms or whatever but all our relationships ultimately are fleeting. Everything should be in moderation. Our happiness should not be so dependent one thing, person, status or situation. Life can change at any point.

Couldn't agree more 💯
