I’m sorry but I don’t think Wahaj is performing well here, the way most people are saying everyone is acting bad and he’s carrying the show, I feel he’s equally bad. He himself chose the show, knowing how limited his scope is, and it looks like he didn’t care about character arc, just did the show because he thought it’ll be another Tere bin.

I don’t think Wahaj in anyway just thought this would be another Tere Bin. The chances of that is very low firstly and I’m sure he’s aware of that and secondly this is missing a lot of the elements that were there for Tere Bin and I’m sure he’s aware of that too. Obviously he was probably hoping for success…who wouldn’t wish that for their own project. So I think he did put work into it and didn’t just automatically assume TB fame. It’s rare enough to have one of those hits in your career so the likelihood of that happening again is low. His performance works for me and my biggest gripe is about him being MIA. That being said, I understand opinions on performances can be differing.

His performance is inconsistent . He is good in some scenes while bad in others.

Rating a performance is definitely subjective and people will have differing opinions. I honestly don’t even think Usama is bad even though I am just done with his scenes especially with Dania. I feel even he has done well in areas. I just feel he’s a bit lacklustre so it’s hard to watch him in really dragged out scenes. That’s more on direction because he’s not necessarily bad but just not worthy of the screen time in my opinion. The unnecessary stretching weakens the overall performance.

I agree, his performance is great, he emotes and expresses in each scenes too well. IMO, he has really put his hardwork in it. Problem is the too slow pace of drama due to which some will be tired seeing some expressions for long time and name it bad, but technically holding of expressions for a long time is more challenging but such pace destroys viewing experience. Also maybe some viewers doesn't like the drama format and the way its shot which matters a lot. Drama with such sad vibes with a lot of focus on side characters, almost like null lead couple scenes cannot be like tere bin, such sad dramas will not have viewership like TB, on top of that its such weak plot of one sided love. As most scenes are just like shots taken without dialogues and nothing new it makes some feel such. And also since plot is so weak and people doing mimicry also affect the viewing experience. and apart from Wahaj other IMO maybe doing an ok job but the point is that ok job also is hugely affected due to the same reasons.

I do feel bad that he is in such loose scripted drama. As you said he is the one performing well. Everyone including makers knows that well. So from that point of view I don’t feel it’s a dent. Most of such high level actors have done such crap shows and it doesn’t affect one’s fame but still I feel bad for him than others as he isn’t just a famous actor but also a critically rated actor and yet landed in such project. Hope he gets and opts good script.

It’s not only about being a crap show there are many flop shows,even Mein was bad but it was still not this derogatory. SMD is very regressive and abusive to women. We are in 2025 and still the project is stuck in 1985.

The main female character Sadaf is being cheated on, abused and character assassinated for no fault of her own and meanwhile her mother is telling her to stick to the marriage. Is this the message to be shown to the young girls in the world we are in right now??

Didn’t Wahaj, Maya etc read the script and dialogues? The actors need as much blame as the writer and director.

Ok Ammar character is now of some mediocre society man who cheats and in reverse doubt on their wife and does their character assasination. What matters more is if that is being done by the lead or negative person like Ammar. So viewers need to first get that. so its not a message and her mother advice reflects some mediocre thinking woman who want their daughter to try their best to save marriage. So before concluding viewers need to wait on conclusion. I don't think its being encouraged here. Thats the reason with a dialogue sadaf told reality of a person like a Ammar (a dog kind). which matters as its a lead character, which is giving a message such men does such assasination on woman by themselves being cheater and it doesn't work no matter how much efforts the wife will do, they will doubt them. I do believe they will show sadaf Ammar relationship end and later Ammar will mostly regret as he was wrong which mostly will convey message that nothing will be benefited from putting efforts in relationship with such partner. Why are some people so offended, its the cheater man who is saying not a lead. What matters is if Bilal also will say such things to sadaf. Also it does give message too to not blindly believe the person like Ammar ignoring the red flags and marry just seeing their mad love as in most cases thats temporary and some women at early age does such wrong decisions. Problem with drama is its dragging technique and slow pace which is only in hands of director, channel and writer. Overall script is read by director, character at max will read their own character dialogues and also not like entire script is offered before signing. And after signing no option one would need to do their work. so as a result the overall responsibility is on creative team. But still as I said its not message here.

See I agree what you are saying and trust me,we all criticized the dialogues said by mother to save the marriage even when husband is abusive...but its still very much relevant in the society..no matter whatever husband does,wives are always expected to tolerate it..but my point is they have not romanticized or showed all the regressive tracks in positive light..they all are shown in a negative light..

Yes. reviewers are so busy in reviewing it in such harsh way that, they are conveying more wrong messages I see. If a cheater character is blaming the wife in return then thats expected a negative mind person will do such. Its not the message. Its not being encouraged from anywhere. Actually at last it will be like mother was wrong in her advice as this relationship will be shown as not being worked. Sadaf dialogues convey the relaity of such cheater men. She at start also replied to her mother as why to fight with a third woman for a cheater husband like Ammar. Its different dynamics of old thinking of mother which is wrong and new thinking of sadaf which is the right thing.

Do you think women are not abused in 2025? Oh how I wish that was reality. Sadly it happens. It isn’t being glorified or normalized in anyway. The narrative is very clear that it’s wrong and it isn’t being done by the main lead (in which case, these things usually get forgiven). The mother’s advice is plain bad and hopefully she will understand that in time because everything else in the story is clear that this is problematic behaviour. It isn’t being romanticized or normalized at all.

Ofcourse there are cases of abuse even now but the difference is that decades ago maybe women would take it quietly due to lack of support. What is shocking is Here today it is shown that Sadaf is taking all the cheating, abuse and name calling and still staying with her husband. Sadaf has a job, her brother’s health is taken care of, there is no reason for her to stick by. This is what is weird in 2025.

What is a main lead? The person with the highest screen time with the heroine? Then Amar is the main lead along with Sadaf. Wahaj has a special appearance kind of screen time, I wonder why they even put him on the poster when he is hardly present. Main track is Amar - Sadaf and then Amar - Dania.

Sadaf married whom she wanted even though her mom suggested against it and now is taking her moms advice?

Agreed about the lead thing…especially the last 7-8 episodes. There’s barely been any Wahaj.
