I don't agree with the notion that Sajal's character was sidelined. If she didn’t share scenes with Bilal's character, she was still given plenty of screen time with Shehryar's character.It's clear that both Sajal (one of the top actresses in the industry) and Bilal must have read the script and agreed to their respective roles, knowing what they were signing up for. I am sorry the fans of Biljal or whatever the ship name is didn't get never ending romantic scenes because the show had a lot of characters to cover but to insinuate that Shehryyar's wealth and so called "power" has anything to do it is just absurd.
Aaliya's character itself was compromised to give screentime to sheheryar. She was out of character when she had scenes with him and there were scenes that served no purpose to the plot while every other character's screentime weren't random.
Nobody said sajal or bilal's scenes were cut short. It's very much possible for the direct to add more scenes while shooting and other actors not being aware about it or have to do it. Nadeem baig is literally the other half of six sigma productions. He can add or decrease screentime if he wants to. Asfar and aaliya scenes didn't had the old school vibe that every other character interaction had. Also mohmmad ahmed in the iv admitted Nadeem baig made a lot of changes in the story right in front of him and never said anything about asfar while talking in length about Salman and aaliya and their equation. Tells a lot.
It's not my fault if you read too much into it. I generally said he is filthy rich and didn't say him being filthy rich is the reason. His connections is the reason. Him and Nadeem baig are close. Sheheryar started giving decent enough performances since like the last 2-3 yrs in a career spanning over a decade and even had the privilege to take long breaks. So he didn't survive this long due to sher talent. Its mostly his good looks and connections only.
