Meri Zindagi Hai Tu Episodes 9-10 show that you can have a star cast but if your storyline and script aren’t good, acting alone can’t save your project.
We spend two episodes watching how Kamyar (Bilal Abbas) has become this really great guy, going to work, getting the company set, in the right even though he’s arguing with his father, taking on gundas, and you're left wondering what can this guy not do. And what a good slap from a girl you ‘loves at first sight’ does. He’s completely changed into the perfect guy from the car burning guy and its obviously so so hard to believe.
Ayra (Hania Aamir) has changed too and become very tedious and boring. From the firecracker we saw in the first few episodes, this Ayra in episode 10, starts daydreaming about the guy she slapped, and then misses half of the most important exam of the year. She’s been studying this whole time and now, at the time of the exam, day dreams so long that she doesn’t have time to complete half of it.
She cries and her father says he’ll help figure out a way to get it fixed (like what)? What happened to the cool, independent, fearless girl who is now giving up on her big doctor dreams to think about some guy she rejected herself. It’s just plain disturbing.
It’s one of those dramas now that make you just plain angry. Even Ayra’s sister now thinks that Kamyar is a great catch for Ayra, just because he got her back with her fiance, something Kamyar messed up in the first place and the fiance had no spine to fix himself.
Even Episode 11’s teaser isn’t helping since it's clear that Kamiyar will be telling Faria (Vardah Aziz) that he doesn't like her and just bumping into Ayra, looking away, locking eyes and saying nothing.
Meanwhile, this rebel boy is apparently the best businessman, worried about his workers mental health and kicking out the bad guys to secure international deals.
It’s. Just. Too. Much.
For the next two episodes, similar to this one, we’ll be doomscrolling with the TV on in the background, scoffing at what these actors were thinking when they decided to be in Meri Zindagi Hai Tu.
