What Changed? And What cant be changed?? EVER!!

I personally feel that realistically Rehan's character is not misplaced. (if you take out the sudden move, etc)

No matter the circumstances of Zaya divorce or who was behind it the fact of the matter as it seems is that it happened. Now, despite of Alliya still being in love with Zain and vice versa i think marrying Rehan or being with him isn't completely wrong. For one love has a lot of different shades. Just because she loves Zain doesn't mean she can't love Rehan. It'll just be a different kind of love. Besides, isn't marriage about having a partner who trusts you and respects you above all. I can see Rehan doing that. Love can come out of respect and friendship too. It doesn't necessarily have to be fire inducing passionate as Zaya's. Also it isn't wrong for Rehan to fall in love with her. It's actually quite normal to fall for someone who has qualities that you admire. He saw what Zain was doing to her and how much she went through because of him. Although he realised the circumstances were not really Zain's fault, he may have felt that Aaliya needed him more and to follow her would be the best path because she literally had left it all behind.

Now coming to the kids and this is coming from personal experience. Having someone who loves you, is there for you constantly, care for you and guides you binds you to them in a way which is unexplainable. For kids who hardly remember what a mothers love was, have been living with men alone all these year, find someone like Aaliya who gives them the feeling of love and protection it is actually very natural to think of her in a motherly way. Just because she isn't married to their father, isn't really their mother doesn't mean that she can't be their mother.

( The woman i call my mom, actually refers to my father as "Brother". She was my neighbour who became a part of my life as a teacher and eventually became the mother i had lost as a child)

Now of course this is realistic and in the show we all love Zaya. However despite of that i wouldn't mind realism in the show. For me its more attractive because i think indi shows lack a lot of realism in them when it comes to little things and details. They may have a point in the border aspect but most CVs tend to forget the actual purpose of their show as time progresses.
