Re: the Mahir ke reasons for the proposal - yes I understand many factors pushed him towards doing that but baat wohi hai ki itni baar pyar ke jhoote daave karne se thoda disconnect ho hi jaata hai....it makes everything look very calculated even if his feelings evolved later. But is point pe hi itni baar jhoote daave kar diye pyar ke....lol and Mehru ka initial reaction sahi tha to the proposal but still later on she put that aside simply cuz she liked him even if she didn't trust him.....lol so ajeeb se hi reason ke liye shaadi ho gayi ki trust toh hai nahin and he keeps lying to her about how much he loves her but it's all baked in for her and she's fine with it because she is approaching the shaadi practically just to get his companionship.
Mahir ka character shuru se grey tha but his neeyat felt more clear when he first met Mehru and the initial friendship phase....but the moment he made this choice to USE Mehru to achieve his motive of getting back at all the people who have insulted and hurt him for so long....toh phir kaafi taint hi hogaya uska character. Uske baad se toh I find it hard to believe any claim he makes....lol there are very few moments where his real self peeks through when you can tell he wasn't putting on an act simply to manipulate Mehru and gain her favor. LOL he thinks he was being oh so smart in how he orchestrated Mehru asking him to go manage the office.....but then jhatka lag gaya when he overheard Mehru saying she doesn't trust him and he can only misuse her trust as much as she allows it....lol EGO pe le li bhaisaab ne baat and vowed to gain her absolute trust and then misuse it
Beech beech mein kuch scenes genuine lage like when he got her the glass bangles and once again unknowingly fulfilled her long held wish. In that moment again woh feel aaya that his simple wishes were always meant to find and compliment Mehru's wishes....just that he himself was so trapped in the world of people making him feel small for not being rich while Mehru was trapped in the rich world where wanting simple things was frowned upon.
Phir woh ek bakery mein tha scene I think right after they went shopping for that suit for him and the shop waale presumed he was her son....lol toh he asked her if people ever presumed her to be Hidayat ki daughter and she was like bahut baar hua yeh
.....that way I like that they point out the double standards of men not being judged as much for marrying much younger women but in the case of a woman doing it, then people judge more. But these are the moments where Mahir comes across as genuine when he fights back on her behalf against people judging their marriage.....haan woh irony hai that people calling him a clever gold digger are not far off the mark since that was one of the reasons he married her but simultaneously he seems genuinely offended by anyone disrespecting their relationship so him pushing back at that seems genuine.
It's quite a strange setup in some ways....lol he is indeed being manipulative in this marriage and she KNOWS he's using her for her money but she's ok going along with it....but on the other hand he's offended that she doesn't blindly trust him - not clear if he's offended cuz he needs her trust in order to get the business transferred to his name or its cuz he feels she owes him trust after all the efforts he's put in to charm her....lol arre nahi he has no intrest in taking over her wealth no .. you are misunderstanding him he actually was never shown to be greedy he genuinly did love her and was happy with her and he tried harder to prove it that he has actually no regrets and he is fine with the age gap.. they brushed that he whole paisa angle aside aise hi and I see why you think wahan kuch zyafa hoga but he has been genuine bas pyaar ho gaya main itna hi dikhaya inho ne ke to fight back and prove sab galat he is trying extra hard to make it work woh rebel pan zyada hai ke ab toh karke hi dikhaoonga yeh shaadi success he isi liye woh genuineness aati hai and all the people who genuinly are well wishers approve of him as the right guy... maahir actually haven't ever given the whole I will manipulate her to give me something a thought isi liye he was like affan ko bhejo office mehru and asram se sab chodh bhi dega Caz it is mehru ka trust he wants and her faith in him. He was genuinly hurt at how can mehru suspect him over the whole accusation thing too.. itnis more like dunya ka perspective is badi Umar ki ladki se he married Caz on surface it looks like for monetary benefits and to.uplift his status which to an extent at one point did push him to make the choice ke chalo bhai kar hi lo use jab jholi main giri opportunity but then that is mostly the push factor towards acceptance for himself ke haan kar sakte hain koi harj nahi hai badi ladki se shaadi karne main woh to ease out the ajeeb hai factor ke everyone thinks that and so later when he says to babar in anger and his dad hears him out and misunderstand and then wants to protect mehru from him And fixes his software with a slap lol.. but then all those mehru se pyar and him not seeing he lacks something is genuine hi despite the world being oh ab jawan ladke ne bhi baaki sabki Tarah matlab ke liye hi kiya hoga..but he never misuses the responsibility or breaks her trust in terms of her business and all Caz he loves mehru woh end main behak gaya for a little while and itna hurt kar Dia mehru ko over emotional manipulation from his stupid mother but he never would cheat her in terms of using her finances ya kuch
