Mein – Zaid VS his father (Asif). Asif is proving to be brutal and lethal in his single-minded drive to break Zaid and his demands. It is no longer about trying to save Mubashira’s marriage with Zaid. It is now about how Zaid dare challenge him and rise against him for Ayra whom he believes to be a nobody.
A Game Of Virtual Chess
Thank God, Zaid’s friend suggested to seek out his father’s enemies rather than sitting at home and thinking he cannot do anything. It was refreshing to see the drama taking this angle, otherwise it would have become very boring and too depressing to keep seeing Zaid unable to do anything. Now Zaid will fight back and it might actually become interesting to watch.
While we miss Mubashira’s active involvement in this power game between Zaid and his dad, we also look forward to some serious and intriguing plot twists as Zaid approaches his dad’s rivals to seek employment. After all, Asif really left him no option, do you agree? The real-life game of virtual chess might throw Asif off guard for a moment, but we’re sure he has a move up his sleeve. May the better, and more upright man, win – there is no question who that’s going to be. We hope you all agree!
Ayra Standing Strong
It is also good to see Ayra standing up, trying to move on and not let the situation destroy her. Her efforts to not give in is making her story more watchable.
The Cliched Narrative
The response and reactions from Ayra’s Neighbours were disappointing and so cliched. We wish our dramas would opt for better and more believable ways to show how life can be hard instead of blatantly using neighborhood toxicity to drive the story forward. In this case, how can the Neighbours be so cruel and heartless and disregard how the family has been with them all these past years. Why do we have to portray that humanity is becoming extinct.
Mubashira Needs To Get Back In the Game, But How?
Mubashira now seems to be a side character in the entire narrative of Mein – someone who just comes onscreen to vent and rant, unhinged. Sadly, as audiences we are now becoming immune to her perpetual outbursts. A character who could have driven the critical narrative of mental health and toxic fatherhood is now reduced to a mere mentally disbalanced puppet.
What did Zaid mean when he told Ayra: “I have told my father that if he doesn’t listen to me, I will divorce Mubashira.” Was he talking about the police case against his father or marrying Ayra? How can Ayra agree to marry him with Mubashira still being in his life?
And …. Ahem, Zaid, zara sochiye … do you think Mubashira will happily agree to you marrying Ayra while still being your wife?
