With pak shows too,I have rarely found a good female lead. Kashaf no wonder became an instant favourite. She was flawed,but had good principles and didn't go about her self-righteousness without having a valid reason.

I like flawed characters,but Farah is border-line obnoxious. I think people always get the wrong idea of Feminism. Degrading the male in order to upgrade female is absolutely wrong.

I think I like Lubna better. But all this whacked out ideas come from her mouth. So Idk what to think.

Arifa I like. Her character makes sense to me.

I would have liked Farah and Lubna and even their stupid plan if only they hadn't been so selfish. I guess they're just stupid though. Not really selfish.

I dunno why female characters are almost always badly written.

I don't know how I feel about Farah. I do like grey shaded characters but Farah seems just too selfish. And when in yesterday's episode she said "Kambakht ne nas puri tarah se kati hi nahi" I was like wth did she just say?😕 Mehtab could've died and she thinks it's cute when somebody slit their wrists for someone in the name of love.

When I said I liked Farah's character, I didn't mean her human character. I actually detest such people in real life. I meant the character as it was written, because it's very rare to see such characters as leads. This is not some evil plotting phuppi aur saas aur bhabhi out to get the masoom female lead. She is the female lead herself, and that too in a romantic drama. The fascinating thing about Farah's character is how she hooks you and how the whole plot of the drama depends on what she is about to do next. She controls so many lives. And you can never put her in one bracket of either white or black. She is a grey character, albeit a very dark shade of grey 😆

As soon as you are about to put her permanently in a villain bracket with the likes of Mogambo and Noori Nath, she shows you a flash of humanity. And she gives you hope that she is about to change. And you are hooked, waiting anxiously for that change. Whether that comes or not, I wouldn't say at this point 😉

Usually, in dramas or films, characters shown with a huge ego undergo a sudden change of heart, that may be ignited by an event or an emotional appeal from someone else. But Farah's character is very close to how people with such huge egos actually go about their business. They ruin other people's lives and most of all, they ruin their own. And it's a long, slow, frustrating process. And usually by the time they actually learn to control or give in to their egos, it's usually very late. That's why such people end up alone in later years in real lives, whether physically or emotionally. I loved how KRQ kept all this in mind while sketching out Farah.
