They are supposed to live in karachi which i guess is one of the biggest cities in indian subcontinent but he behaves like koi pind se aaya haiπ. The funniest was how he was lecturing kim about how wrong she is to think her pov was the right one when he and his grandfather have the sameπ. But the drama does have the old school charm and i like its simplicity. Even when characters do absurd thinks it don't look ott.
I don't find Aaliya or kim absurd or stupid. Kim is stubborn but she is good to people who are good to her and dont try to impose anything on her. She don't like people forcing their ideologies on her. She is a single child brought up by a rich father so she will be spoiled in some sense and she is blunt but she isn't stupid. Ignorant maybe.
Aaliya is not even spoiled or blunt. She is right now the most relatable female lead out there. Gets emotional with people close to her heart but have a brave face on for others. That's pretty much how most people are. She also isn't very self righteous. She bends her ethics to run her household. A lot of people do that in real life.
