sorry no one except maybe hiba (ily mwah) is going to care about this but one of the most popular dramas on right now (mujhe pyaar hua tha) is driving me utterly mad with the fan response it's like people's collective horniness for wahaj ali has banished all critical thought or sympathy for women who are thrust into situations like maheer's (the female mc). i simply cannot grasp how anyone can call a girl bratty bc she dared to fall in love with someone other than her cousin and then when that person's family humiliated her she decided to marry her cousin without complaint bc it was what her family mandated for her and then when her ex-fiance began harassing her somehow she got accused for being an adulterer even though she had accepted her new relationship with her cousin despite it making her miserable. like a girl has been thrust into an impossible situation in which everyone feels entitled to tell her what to do rather than leaving her to ever make her own choices and somehow her being depressed and anxious because of all of this makes her bratty and inconsiderate of others. the most ironic thing of all is that everyone lauds saad (the male mc) for being an absolute angel bc he's patient and doesn't impose on her and is ready to leave her if she wants him to but somehow that adoration of him doesn't actually translate to holding similar sentiments for maheer? like if you like saad so much maybe you should do the same as him and support maheer rather than acting like she's the brattiest scum of the earth. i hate pakistani drama audiences so much it's unreal
#mujhe pyaar hua tha#also the funny thing is everyone says hania chooses weak bratty characters consistently and that couldn't be farther from the truth lmfao#admittedly i do think mere humsafar was a terrible horrible regressive drama but anyone with a brain can tell that hania's#inclination is towards naive characters who are MISUNDERSTOOD and ABUSED but remain confident and independent in the face of it#either that or they gain confidence the way hala did in mere humsafar#the ending was absolutely corny and hamza's mom didn't deserve any forgiveness but prior to that maheer took a stand for herself against#EVERYONE. and somehow her managing to do that only after years upon years of physical and psychological abuse made her a weakling#there's such an omnipresent sentiment in pakistani society that women who refuse to withstand abuse are weak and incosiderate of others#and i HATE it. what maheer is going through in this drama is nothing short of emotional abuse she's literally being toyed with by#everyone except saad and no one cares how depressed it's all making her except for him#we have so little sympathy for our female heroines it's unreal like i read these youtube comments and i feel murderous i swear
