There is basically no black and white character here. They all have grey shades to them. Even the problems that occurred in the story, it wasn't bc one main (villian) character was plotting things and creating problems, all things were happening due to wrong choices and destiny. Be it Ayna deciding to marry Imran in secret or Mohsin and Ayna ending up together.</font><font size="3" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">I don't see any characters really wrong here if we look at things from each character's point of view.</font><font size="3" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Ayna deciding to marry Imran was something that she didn't see wrong at that time bc she thought he was the right person for her. The person her heart chose and she was sure that she was going to be happy with him. As we know when people are in love, they tend to only see the good side of things and hope for the better. Ayna probably didn't see that her mom was going to die bc of this one decision that she took and she didn't see how this one mistake was going to affect her life to this point as well as the life of the people around her and her relationships. She probably thought that in the end Imran's parents will have to accept her and if they didn't, her and Imran can still lead their life because it's the life that they chose. Had both Ayna and Imran expected the worse, I'm sure they wouldn't have taken the step of getting married secretly.</font><font size="3" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Imran: Someone who was born with a silver spoon. He is the only son in the family and he was obviously aware that everything his father owned was going to be his in the end. So he didn't ever imagine that there would come a day where he would be hungry and without food or a time where he would be roaming streets trying to find a job.</font><font size="3" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">This is why when he got put into such a situation, he started to panic.</font><font size="3" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">To make it worse he didn't see Ayna's problems. He thought that he was the only one suffering here,while Ayna was still living with her family and not having to go through what he was going through. Ayna was definitely not in a better situation than him, but Imran couldn't see that. She was having to lie to her family and having to pretend she's going to Uni while she's going to meet him in secret. I'm sure she was feeling very guilty and unhappy with herself that's why she kept telling her mother if she would always love her or forgive her. She was having to live in fear of what would happen when her family found out about her marriage. Another problem was her family preparing to get her married to Noman while she's actually married. I'm sure Ayna was probably unable to sleep thinking about all these problems, but Imran wasn't seeing all of this. He just saw that Ayna is still living with her family while he on the other hand left his parents and is struggling to survive.</font><font size="3" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">So no one really is at fault here bc each person only saw their conflict and this is just part of being human. We as humans usually see our conflicts/problems and become blind to the problems of the other person.</font><font size="3" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">I do think though Imran really loved Ayna but his love wasn't enough to stand against his family and be able to endure all the hardships that were coming his way.</font><font size="3" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Sajal: What can I say about her. At first I kind of understood why she was behaving so rudely with Ayna. She had just lost her mother and Ayna was to be blamed. Putting myself in her place if this would have happened with me (God forbid) I don't think I would be able to look in my sister's face and I would probably be just as mean as Sajal or even worse. But then I felt that Sajal wasn't behaving this way just because of her mother's death. She was actually becoming selfish and she began to feel that Ayna was a burden on her and Faraz and she wanted to get rid of her.</font><font size="3" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">When she had a miscarriage the problem became worse because now she was starting to feel insecure and thinking that she might actually lose Faraz. The only solution she saw at that time was Maaz. She thought that if she took Maaz and brought him up as their child, Faraz might stop thinking about a second marriage to fulfill his wish of having a child of his own. So she doesn't hesitate in separating a mother (Ayna) from her son (Maaz). She didn't see what she was doing was wrong, she only saw it as a way of protecting/saving her marriage with Faraz.</font><font size="3" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Faraz: One of the most characters that I liked in the show and thought he was the most understanding and sane one. He actually stood by Ayna a lot and reprimanded his wife Sajal every time she was rude with her, but he was beginning to feel that Ayna is actually a burden especially when Sajal gets sick and he starts to think that his family should come first and if leaving the country is the only way that would benefit his family he was going to do that. He was also having a hard time keeping his aunt's promise. That's why he starts to think that getting her married to Mohsin would be the best solution. He wanted the best for him and his family, even if it meant that someone was going to get hurt by this decision.</font><font size="3" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Annie: In the beginning I always thought this girl has no self respect going after a guy that loves someone else. But then I started to see why she was behaving the way she was. She was a rich spoiled girl who always got what she wanted. Here for the first time maybe she was not getting what she wanted, that being Imran and his love. She probably also couldn't digest the fact that a normal girl like Ayna has won Imran. So she was going to do anything and everything to separate her from him. Like she told Imran before, everything is fair in love and war. She really believed that what she was doing wasn't wrong. She didn't see how Imran wasn't an expensive car that she finally got. She did get married to Imran, but she wasn't able to make a place in his heart and unfortunately when she found that out, it was already too late.</font><font size="3" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">But I actually feel bad for her and I think Imran is torturing her too much. She already got her punishment by getting married to him and not being able to win his heart. I think Imran is behaving this way with her and blaming her for everything that happened to stop his guilty conscience. He knows that he was also responsible for ruining Ayna's life, but I guess it makes him feel better to put most of the blame on Annie.</font><font size="3" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">That's it for now. Man I don't remember when was the last time I was this much into a show😆</font>
Absolutely loved your character pieces! I especially loved the Imran one. In so many of these dramas, characters like Imran and their love for the "poor girl" seem very shallow, but the writers fleshed out Imran very well. You could tell he loved Aina and yes he left her, but there was a giant scheme orchestrated for him to do so. That's why I'm not opposed to an ImNa ending--though MoNa is the OTP of OTPs-- because you could tell he always cared for her, and going by his last conversation with Aina, he always will.
