Abu Bakar is marrying zaryab knowing she already love someone else and hasn't move on. Having past is normal but atleast you should move on from that if you are marrying someone . I can't blame zaryab as she didn't even get time to move on and heal. Her family is also so eager to get her married and get rid of her. Many girls in the comment section are praising and saying they want a man like him but he is so helpless , he can't even choose the person to marry. He is literally forced to marry. If gender were reversed a girl marrying a boy still madly in love with another girl, everyone will call her stupid

So as everyone’s currently drooling over how much of a green flag Abu Bakar is for noticing Zaryaab’s mismatch shoes. It honestly doesn’t make sense. And they clearly showed a scene where when Zaryaab enters the room Abu Bakar intentionally look at her shoes. Aesa bhi nahi hy k he was subtle about it. The man doesn’t even want to marry her. He is just marrying her out of majboori because of his mom. Tou phir aesa banda kiun itni cheezein notice karay ga? Is he some undercover spy? Normal ppl dont pay attention to such things or little details. Chahay kitna bhi green flag banda ho. If one’s heart isn’t fully invested in the other person tou they won‘t notice them in such detail. It just doesn’t make sense to me.

I've come across some posts, trying to decide the actual villan, here is my POV

Zaryaab will discover what is actually a green flag (forest) guy and a healthy relationship is, her heart will slowly heal and ..... so on.

I think blaming Abu Bakar's mom for being someone who wants to return favour sacrificing Abu Bakar is wrong because

Kishwar khala technically helped Kushbakht when she needed help to raise Abu Bakar (a big benefactor of both son and mom)

I think Zaryaab is equally bad as Zamil because she got married to Abu Bakar to make Zamil jealous (although at the end she confessed so we can't blame her), but the right thing would have been to focus on career instead of this random out of nowhere shaadi so Zaryaab and her family is to be blamed for not making this choice but again the family understood they can't get any better proposal for Zaryaab other than Abu Bakar so that was somewhere justified.

If you’re in this sub, you probably know about the whole thing around Usman Javed. The guy who played Torsam in Zanjeerein drama. Idk if its all true or just a rumor to spoil his name because I saw just a few posts and didn’t go to the bottom of it. I really don’t care that much about celebrity gossip. Guy is a really good actor. But I am truly disappointed. Mtlb when will this ever stop? I am not really in the favor of ppl prying into the personal and private lives of our celebs but jab aesi baat saamnay aati tou I feel its not as wrong. Every other day there is some male actor or male cricketer getting dragged over the same thing. And kuch ki tou itni serious hoti hy that their wives have filed reports against them in courts.

Honestly, there should be some proper back check of ppl in fields that have to potential to become limelight. Ap aik random teacher ya accountant ya doctor ki job k liay shortlist hotay ho tou wahan bhi the organization does a background check on you. Then why not the entertainment industry? Why do they hire actors who have shady personal lives? Ya an ounce of shadiness in their lives. Aik abusive ya toxic husband hona is a serious thing when the guy is an actor. When the guy gets some level of fame ya plays a character that the audience loves, there are ppl who will want to follow him, know more about him, get inspired by him and yes that includes the toxicity and abusive factor too.

70s 80s 90s k majority parents and society ny boht toxic tarbiyat ki hy mardon ki and we can see the affects of it with every other case nowadays. Gen Z and late millennials do not tolerate any kind of bullshit and even if they do, it’s not for long. And aaj k time mein koi baat chupi nae hy. Its high time for men to stop being a disappointment and learn to treat women in their lives with decency. Wrna look at actors like Feroze Khan, no matter what good character they play, no matter unka drama super hit ho, many ppl will avoid watching those dramas just because they do not want to see faces that are associated with abuse and toxicity.

I wrote this post with immense disappointment in my heart because honestly, Usman Javed has the face and talent to play really strong characters and I really really hope all of it is just rumors and nothing else. Wrna it’ll be a major failure on the industry’s part for not doing proper background checks on the actors they hire to play in such big budget dramas.

I am so exhausted by the illogical writings in our dramas, especially when it comes to handling heartbreak. Take Zaryab’s storyline. Her parents are supposedly educated and progressive, yet their solution to her toxic, possessive obsession with Zamil is to marry her off to Abu Bakr. It makes zero sense. A deep childhood heartbreak takes time to heal, and a family like theirs should have taken her to therapy instead of completely ignoring mental healthcare for a lazy marriage plot. To make it worse, Zaryab is openly disrespectful, so how do they logically expect her to suddenly adjust with Abu Bakr and his mother?

Speaking of which, the "positive" framing of Dadi and Abu Bakr’s mother is exhausting; their matchmaking was nothing but toxic emotional blackmail. Abu Bakr isn't a sacrificial lamb who owes his entire marital happiness to repay his mother’s past debts, and he easily could have respectfully said no. It is incredibly frustrating that writers consistently waste prime opportunities to normalize breakups and therapy, choosing instead to enforce the regressive PTV trope that a nikkah magically cures psychological trauma.
