Mann Mayal main Sallu had his independent track and relationships separate from Mannu. He went on his own personal journey, esp. becoming rich. Even with Jeena, Sallu had conversations that did not revolve around Mannu. Bilal gets no such consideration. He gets no personal journey, no arc. He is there waiting on the sidelines for Sadaf to complete her personal growth journey and listen to her dil. Mann Mayal also gave us in the first few episodes the set up of how Mannu and Sallu fell in love. And as much as Mann Mayal irritates, the writing and characterizations were far better than SMD.
Exactly the characterization was way more better..in mann mayal..unlike SMD jahan aadha time Sadaf ki samajh hi nahi aayi.
