Asif:
He has some redeeming points in terms of parenting.
I have said this before. I really liked how he Supported Kash when she said she'll leave Rayaan if things didn't change .. he was very happy for her and never bothered about the business or Jafar then. He was glad his daughter found her self respect and he gave a good bhaashan on how nothing should come above self respect, definitely not love. 🤭
I feel his hatred for Ayra is not just his class mentality or she reminds him of his roots like someone suggested....he's looking out for Zaid here. His problem is not just that Ayra is from a different class, he keeps repeating to himself that middle class girls are gold diggers. And now he's seeing only that behaviour in Ayra though she has always kept her self respect high ...in fact she has kept it way above her love for Zaid - so in a way she's following Asif's advice to his daughter. 😄
When Asif looks at Ayra, he sees the girl who asked for 5 Cr in emotional blackmail (playing with Zaid's guilt), joined a rival against his business interests and behaves oversmart in front of his guests. He can't stand her also because he feels Zaid is blind to not see what he's seeing and he wishes someone would knock some sense into Zaid's head. He can't even stand MJ standing up or supporting Zaid when he's ticking him off regarding Ayra.
Other thing is, despite everything...Zaid seems to love his baba...he knows all his faults, but he genuinely loves him ...this is another reason he may not be punished even for Aamir's death. He didn't shoot Aamir. He didn't mean to kill the guy...rest all he did what he usually does to evict a building or get a deal done etc. Amir just succumbed to the circumstances he created.
