Ana- the paragon of trust issues is all of a sudden not thinking/ able to see through Nawab's intentions and Shahmir is a nasamajh 'sher ka baccha'
I donāt take such audience comments seriously because Nauroz is most definitely NOT a hero. Theyāre acting like those common folk who think he was their savrior. When heās also exploiting the common folk just to get to power. He has no issues lying to them and deceiving them like heās done with the Qasais. Promising them Shahmirās head when he was actually trying to find him.
These are the people who will find a hundred excuses to prop Nauroz as a hero despite all the wrongs he has done - with Furqan and his daughter for example - and is currently even manipulating and lying to his own son, while on the other hand theyāll malign a female character like Ana who is rightfully acting to avenge her mother JUST because sheās thinking about her past more than her 4 din ki mohabbat. Even though just in the last episode she even tried to save the new brideās life. But just because she is betraying Shahmir she is proving that she is āNawab ki betiā - female characters get no leeway or benefit of the doubt because theyāre expected to be doormats to the male lead. And mohabbat is above all other emotions
So thereās obvious lack of character understanding. Sure the show is a LOT about the game of power and who is cunning enough to come out on top BUT ultimately itās a story about how Duniyapur gets SAVED. And in that light Nawab and Nauroz are clear as day villains. Ana and Shahmir are NOT. But many in the audience forget this detail in the games Nawab and Nauroz play with each other. Because thatās interesting too.
But cmon hero and Nauroz? This alone tells you that many audience members are just watching for thrill element and not keeping the entire story in perspective. Which is about how this chaotic city will finally find peace.
