also I keep meaning to mention but forget to- so although I haven’t watched BI entirely I have seen bits of it and know the plot and whilst it was definitely something capable of catapulting its leads to stardom it was IMO a lot of crap, because Harshad’s character in it I thought was a Grade A manhandling misogynist and all the characters in it condoned and encouraged his brother’s bigamy despite his first wife not consenting to the second marriage. I hope he gets a show that gives him as much attention but definitely not this sort of character or story gosh
They told her (Ishita) a certain character graph and gave her a completely different one.
Edit 1:BI has a lot of problems specially the talak track but the redemption track was very good. And Zain's character grows from his mistakes and he was a chauvinist asshole during the divorce track but realised it when he lost the most important thing and that too because of his toxic masculinity and did his best to atone for it.
Edit 2: He actually accepts that he misused Shariat to fuel his anger and ego.
Plus Aaliya was not a doormat, which was refreshing. She gave as good as she got to him.
The Bigamy was a problem for me too but they highlighted the problems that came with it. Because muslim law requires that if you are marrying multiple wives you must treat them equally and there should not be any unfairness. And in the show it was clear that his brother loved one wife more than the other and the second marriage had happened due to the mother's pressure for want of a male heir. And the jealousy and anger both wives felt for each other depicted how this action poisoned the lives of three people.
