"razamandi ke bina ishq par haq jatana-" is simply something I DID NOT, DO NOT AND WOULD NEVER consider for the Murtasim we have known over the past 5 months to be capable of, not even in Nooran's world or any other world for the matter. We have known/witnessed/experienced such adversity, rather animosity happen time and again. It's reality in marital relations all across the globe, cultures and religion irrespective and thus, portrayable for authors and creators in the world of fiction. Whether we accept it or not, it's one of the strongest instruments of sensationalism which hooks audience to it - a reflection of the ugliest of realities that humans are very undeniably attracted to infliction of pain and torture on another. Proved again by the stance of the authorities with the promo. What happened with "Tere Bin" could have multiple and DID have multiple theories to it, as to 12 million possibilities of every why's, how's, if's and if not's. I am no exception and coming up with this one shot was my way of voicing out my theory while giving a form to the imaginations that PEMRA would receive a cerebral attack to even consider or read through. Wish you as happy a time reading and I had writing! <8 To Murtasim and Meerub, and their love that made seem all other portrayals of love overrated in my eye. You inspired. 🤍 P.S. I would, in all probability rewrite other iconic scenes of their's, and try coming up with some exclusive sequences for them as well.
