Definitely not alone.. Its a patten of writing
Basically the story line is like the hero does something bad in the first 6-7 episodes.... And then he spends 30 episodes saying sorry /supporting the heroine unconditionally.
... So as an audience you forget why he is a awful person, you just remember his romantic gestures and get frustrated with the heroine for being stubborn... Like even in "khaani", the hero killed the heroine's brother but by the end sab heroine ko hi gaaliyan de rahe theyy that she doesn't deserve him.
The heroine on the other hand, is a doormat (achchi ladki) to everyone except the hero who betrayed her... So the audience gets even more angry like - girl you still care about everyone who humiliates you everyday but you can't forgive the hero who is the only one who loves you
This pattern /illogical writing is the hallmark of alot of itv and ptv shows
First of all, I do agree that in past dramas writing pattern used to be like that and audience then used to start liking ml.
But just to clarify, I am not among those audience who can like someone like mir hadi because of his romantic gestures. Nah never, he was a criminal, I did not get it how they glorified him. My main issue with ptv dramas is whitewashing of such characters.
To clarify further, the cases I mentioned in which I liked Male lead more than female lead are like Shehram and mahnoor one. When mahnoor got engaged with taimoor, she started behaving rudely with shehram and their I liked Shehram more than mahnoor.
