You are right but still I would have liked Aliya to talk her heat out to Salman not Asfar. It just didnt impress me.
Aaliya came to reject him only. So it was fine. She didn't want to be rude to a guy who was nice to her and whose father is still recovering. She told she didn't take time because she don't know how to speak up, she did because she never thought about any of that.
Aafar didn't act as a bridge. Salman and Aaliya were anyway sure about their love for each other and Salman was going to propose to her on his own.
Btw this Aliya is quite jumpy. Once she told she decorated Asfar's house on Sehrish's order and denied it afterwards. Now she denied that Sallu told her about meeting Asfar . Didnt get the part
