Richa is close to him as they have worked together before. Also, I think it’s intentionally being done that way because if she had focused on seher, her pain or her character more, audience would’ve felt more for her and hated Mahid for being an adult and groomer if not a pedo. They wouldn’t have accepted this romance between them and would’ve demanded that she be with someone else which is what Richa and channel don’t want as they want this ship to sail. So best way is to focus on his character, so the audience roots more for Mahid and don’t really mind what crap is being served
Though the original version itself was problematic, but at least there the focus was always on the mom and daughter fighting for their rights and freedom. Their love interests were side stories. In Turkish one, they didn't show touchy touchy romance, unlike the Indian one.
It was the brilliant acting of the Turkish Mahid one that got him more screen time in the later half, but even then they didn't like discard the mom and daughter’s characters like that! Unlike the Indian one where Mahid gets more screen time cause he is the PH’s fav. No doubt Parth is good actor too but his terrible attitude and controversies overshadow his work
I think if Mahid character was played by some other actor this much favouritism won't have been there.
Imagine writing out like 80% characters including
replacing your FL, and write out the other FL whose the mom just cause your fav ML had a fight with the FL, and just keep the fav ML who was the secondary character in the original
