I don't care much about the lineage thing. Someone doesn't necessarily turn out bad just because his mother/father was bad. By this logic, given that Nehmat was a criminal's daughter, she should have turned out the same. Personal opinion ; Nehmat was a sorry excuse for a heroine. If anything Harleen was better but makers drastically ruined her character too. I don't really blame her. Don't get me started on Ekam. 😒
. After trp hit low, they needed a strong negative lead to bring back their original trps. They couldn't make Naaz a strong vamp because Harleen would get sidlined, which they did not want to happen. So the simple method is to make Harleen a strong villain disregarding her moral compass that she has built throughout her life. Still it did not work because of Harleen's sudden change of personality and Ekleen's fanbase. That's why they shut down S2 in a hurry to start the story fresh with new leads. Now that they learned a lesson, they introduced Alia as a rebellious girl from the beginning and Aasma as a virtuous girl to redeem Jasmine's family.
. Let's say she believes what Alia claims, but the message that Armaan recieved from Banto clearly gives away the idea that he is indeed seeing someone. The reason as to why she doesn't question him or she cannot understand that simple message is beyond my understanding.
Both are proving they are truly sisters.
