Meerab got a loving, rich and caring husband. True. But it does not compensate the loss she had. She lost a loving family and she got to know the truth that she was Anwar's daughter who gave her away when she was a baby. The things which she lost are much more than the love she got from Murtasim. And like someone mentioned the way the truth was revealed was insensitive. They had the option of revealing the truth in a calmer environment after taking her to Karachi. Not only the truth but also the way the truth was revealed was so hurtful to Meerab.
Meerab has always considered Rohail as a good friend. So may be if she has not married Murtasim and if Rohail proposed to her there is a possibility of her rejecting him. May be she would have gotten married to someone who has a progressive thinking. And her life would have been free from Maa Begum's continuous taunts and Haya's constant obsession of Murtasim. May be she had a peaceful life. Murtasim fell in love with Meerab so he is putting so many efforts to win her heart. What if he had not fallen in love with her and was only considering this marriage as a responsibility. Meerab's life would have been very difficult.
Meerab lied because she wanted this marriage for her to have a safe place from where she will not get thrown out. If she had said that she hated him he might not have agreed to marry her. Meerab is a grey character and her thinking about herself is not unexpected. I feel that her rude behaviour is because she considers him responsible because he had not said no when he had the chance. As audience we know about his refusal but Meerab does not know. In her mind, she has this thinking that he has the power so if he had said no to the marriage then the elders would not have proceeded with the marriage. And then she would have gone back and lived her life happily with her adoptive parents.
