I appreciate what the writers are trying to achieve. It would be unrealistic to expect a person to change overnight. Mohsin too, is struggling to make sense of his own sudden, intense feelings for Aina, her apparent indifference to him, his own resentment at being ignored by Aina, and now Aina's sudden sadness. For a man who is used to living a self-centred life, and taking care of the material needs to his loved ones, this is a hard stretch to wade through. He has, clearly, fallen for Aina but his ego keeps him from confessing it to himself or her. He is also perplexed by Aina's attitude; she doesn't show any romantic (or any) interest in him and yet, was adamant to marry him. But, in spite of it all, I have to admit to being a bit disappointed by the writers. I had hoped for a full blown romantic facet to emerge in Mohsin, and wanted him to court Aina, and in so doing, make up for his past obnoxious behaviour. However, the writers have other things in mind. So, while I appreciate the show and its nuanced writing, my enthusiasm has started to wane a bit. The makers offer such tantalizing previews, especially after the Tuesday episodes, and I end up having all sorts of wild, romantic fantasies about these two, only to be disappointed (by the sheer absence of romance) in the episodes. Sigh!
