If Ayeza played Ayra, people would root for Ayra because of Ayeza's performance. On paper, whilst both characters have their plus and minus points, but it comes down to the performance.

Ayra's character too had her moments to shine and there were places where if portrayed correctly, the entire audience would root for her. But its Azekah's performance that's been below average throughout.

MJ’s character had a lot of margin to perform but so did Ayra’s. Agreed that Azekah’a performance was below the mark

Exactly.

Kashmala and Rayaan have had more life in them than Ayra did in the show

See that’s what I am trying to understand why is MJ the one to forgive Zaid? Why is Zaid the toxic one? I agree Zaid consented to marry her but he realised how he was manipulated into marrying her and he took it out on her and it’s not fair but he was honest about it. See what I am trying to say is that Zaid has always been honest in this relationship. He wasn’t happy about it and he showed that in his behaviour. MJ could have very well taken divorce but she didn’t because of her insecurities. MJ is the one who has been dishonest in this relationship and has lied to Zaid. She lied that she was ok with his 2nd marriage when she was not, actively schemed to keep Aira and Zaid separate, got Aira fired and lied to him again and is still lying by hiding Ryan’s truth. Zaid has always been honest that MJ should not expect love from him. So what should Zaid ask forgiveness for? First MJ should come clean with all her lies and schemes and then Zaid can decide to forgive her and give her a second chance.

Yes you are absolutely right here - one of the many issues in their relationship does arise from MJ not being completely honest with Zaid, using his guilt to gain sympathy and scheming to break him and Ayra up. That’s totally on her. But see… so far she’s failing and continues to fail in winning him over. Yes things improved somewhat in Turkey but he was pretty clear with her over there too.

“don’t expect love from me”

She was the one to make all the moves and tried to get closer and they reached some level of comfort but as soon as their relationship was challenged back home, it was back to square one. So MJ - despite trying - is always always shown to loose to Ayra. No matter what she does. Zaid always puts Ayra first and trusts her beyond everyone else.

So it’s a slap on MJ’s face already. She loses to Ayra every day no matter what she does

It’s just that she will ultimately realize the futility of her attempts and accept defeat. She will file for Khulla. It’s the writers way of showing that she has realized that games will not get you anywhere.

But you also at the same time have to realize Zaid’s immaturity in handling this relationship. I agree with you that he was being honest in his dislike of MJ and didn’t want anything to do with her but he could have talked to her about this civilly and nicely. He didn’t have to do this so rudely. But his pettiness and attitude were not the right way to go about it. He could have told MJ respectfully and he didn’t choose that way. That’s all MJ wanted from him - respect. If he wanted to separate from her and said it respectfully she might even have agreed. But his attitude was not right. He has to pay penance for that. He has to apologise for his threats and the disrespect he showed to her.

Which is why I think he will not sign the papers. Because he will feel guilty for the pain he’s caused her and how he never gave them a chance. So both MJ - by giving him the Khulla and accepting defeat of her schemes - and him refusing to sign it - will show their maturity

I actually found Ayeza’s performance pretty horrible and OTT in the first half of the drama. She only grew on me post second marriage. Otherwise MJ was a bit much and idk if it’s a direction fault or what but it was too extra. A lot of audience had issues with MJ in the beginning because of this acting choice.

Ayeza’s real strength is in nuances not the shouting and yelling. So.. I’ll have to say she was hard to take during the first half for sure.

Likewise, I feel Azeekah does better in the angst and pain scenes than the normal day to day. That woman can cry omg - and not look bad doing it. Maybe that’s why she was hired because Ayra does a lot of that lol. But yes voice modulation is needed. That drawl gets to you at times

I even felt Badar didn’t make the most of focusing on Zaid’s expressions so yes Wahaj performed but it left no impact on me. Because his scenes are not well shot. The only scene that comes to mind where I felt his impact as an actor was the one with Asif where Asif disowns him - that’s it. And that’s a big problem because we know Wahaj can act.

The only people who have given CONSISTENT good performances have been Asif, Ijaz Aslam as Ayras brother and her bhabhi. That’s it

MJ married Zaid thinking / assuming he wants to marry her too - she was genuinely looking forward for normal marriage and she had no clue about Aira when she married him and given her personality and why she was getting married again - what all happened since wedding day was wrong .

- Aira gate crashing

- Zaid walking behind Aira and then not turning up for ruksati

- All honeymoon nuisance

Everything he did with her was wrong especially when he knows she had no clue abt aira and why she married him in first place .

Next off , all that second marriage, if any this was Zaid and Aira second worst decision , one thy never fought for there love and then when they get second chance they choose to get entangled again with MJ like a simple divorce and second marriage would have been best but Aira had weird demand - she not only demands money but wants to go stay in same house as man who killed her brother and tormented her family and buzzinga wants to someone’s second wife , for once she didn’t even bother to think how will all this impact MJ and top of it Zaid agreed to this - double whopper .
As to why audiences are sympathetic to MJ and ignore her crimes (blackmail , getting aira fired) this two instances they saw women trying to save her marriage or retaliate to insult/ humiliation she was made to go thru - Aira demanding bedroom, Aira insisting MJ host walima and all - the whole wave turned in MJ favour then .

Next her hiding RJ truth - yes could have been her moment of shining but the story would have turned totally one sided had MJ been one who brings truth out , that Agar from Zaid was so strange especially when aira told him abt RJ advances earlier too ,but they couldn’t show Zaid -MJ as team in bringing justice to aira so they have kept both Zaid and MJ grey , people don’t change overnight it’s slow process so suddenly Zaid going aggressive or MJ putting her own happiness aside and thinking of Aira won’t happen, they might sound heroic but too sudden . If not Zaid and MJ have been consistent in growth.
It’s not like MJ after all schemes gets zaid ,makes her winner - she has always felt entitled which is not bad per se given her elite upbringing . If Aira - Zaid don’t end up together it’s not like they are bad people but they are not right for each other - they never fight for each other , aira does things per her convenience and Zaid does things which he thinks is correct which might not always be right and if MJ - Zaid end up together won’t make them good it’s like two people growing up , giving chance to become better .

I am in complete agreement with all that u've said

Multiple possibilities

1 Ayra will refuse to go with Zaid, Zaid will move out and get a different home maybe that bar is in his new home with Ayra where MJ will come with divorce papers. He will be living with Ayra but missing MJ so Ayra will see it and go to Asif to free Zaid and that 5cr thing would play out

2 Ayra tells Zaid that his father ruined him in his mein and in turn Zaid will berate her for not picking up phone calls and not meeting him and losing him in her Mein and triple talaq her, after losing him, she'll go to Asif and that 5cr scene will come up. She'll shoot Asif and go to jail because she has lost everything else anyway. What's the point of letting her brother's killer live

In the first one, Zaid missing MJ? I think that's really impossible. That too after watching this week's episodes. Never. Ideally this should have been the end what you said minus Ayra asking for 5 crores but moving on peacefully. But I can't imagine any possible ending now.

I do believe there is a possibility of Zaid and Ayra moving in a different house bcz she said she can't live in that house. She didn't say she can't live with him. But that house looked like Asif's house bcz from where will Zaid have a house that too with a bar. Also MJ looked like she is in house clothes when she asks for divorce..

Must just be a different bar at Asif house. And Zaid looks sad and depressed here.

I definitely think this is after Ayra tells him they can’t be together. After he comes back from her place.

I think just logically this sequence makes sense. Him punishing Rayyan and giving everyone a piece of his mind —> goes to Ayras place to apologise and inform her that he punished her wrong doer, and wants her to come back to him —> she refuses to go back to that house and decides it better to part ways because his family will always bring her trauma —-> he accepts her decision —-> Goes back home and the bar scene all sad and depressed —-> MJ comes and drops this other bomb on him about the Khulla —-> he realizes how much he’s wronged her too —-> asks for a second chance from her which she accepts

The end. Lol

there will be the kashmala asif scenes in there too in the middle somewhere and scenes of MJ deciding about the Khulla and convincing her dad it’s the right thing to do.

Yes this can definitely happen. I just meant, Zaid missing MJ and Ayra seeing it, I don't think that's a possibility at all. Ideally it would be really good if there was no SA angle but due to other reasons Zaid moved out with Ayra. Then because he had a development with MJ when he was in that house, he is missing her now and loves her. Ayra realises this and even Zaid (If Zaid & MJ are endgame, this would be more apt than this guilt ridden actions)
