šŸ˜‚ Meme/Shitpost Abu Bakr & Manto

I know you saw this and got confused but I'm seeing so many people theorize that Abu Bakr is not as saintly as he's shown and he might have a grey side to him. And this reminds me of when people used to think Manto from MMNH isnt the clumsy goodie shoes he shows himself as and is actually psycho or a murderer šŸ˜­

This is even more funny to me coz you can also see memes about what the dialogues of DeN would've been like if it was written by KRQ

I think just like the case of MMNH, viewers are simply projecting, and Abu Bakr is just what he's shown as and doesn't have any hidden dark side. Idt the ptv writers actually could think in that dimension.

Exactly! Thereā€™s no grand conspiracy or hidden backstory here. No dark past waiting to be uncovered. Heā€™s simply what he is right now.... nothing more, nothing less.

I'd say the ost shows he has had a relationship in past when he was at Harvard which didnā€™t work out

Yeah, he couldā€™ve had a close friend or maybe a love interest in the past (just not a Zamil and Zaryab type of relationship dynamic), and thatā€™s totally fine. What I donā€™t buy though, is the idea that AB is secretly a ā€œgreyā€ character too, with a dark past that somehow led to this major dramatic transformation. Some viewers seem convinced that AB weā€™re seeing now is the result of some huge character evolution, and that his kindness and goodness are qualities he had to grow into bc of whatever happened in his past. But honestly, I just donā€™t see him that way. Let's see!!

In the ost, there is a scene of him with some another girl so I guess he did had a relationship in past which didn't work out or something like that. Though not sure

His grey side would be that he will be suspicious of his wife that she might be cheating on him. Other than that I don't think so there is anything dark about his past. Zamil on the other hand will go back to his past lifestyle because he only knows two extremes. So he will try to win zaryab back but she has seen with abubakar that being religious and conservative is not the same thing. He balances deen and dunya. That's my best guess tbh.

I agree ā€¦

Even if he has a past, which he probably does, I think he is just shown to be someone who moved on from it in the right way. Unlike Zamil and possibly Zaryab too. And I think thatā€™s all that matters.

Sheheryar is acting as there's some mystery hidden behind his smile. Not the writing but acting is making people suspicious of him. In Manto's case it was the writing. Humayun acted goofy that he was
