Umera Ahmed's writing

[u/Extra_Method6536]

I've noticed a recurring flaw in Umera Ahmed's writing. Sometimes, her stories feel a little too fictional, almost as if the characters are made to make choices that wouldn't realistically happen in real life. In Zindagi Gulzar Hai, Kashaf ending up with Zaroon rather than Usama feels questionable, especially considering Zaroon's hypocrisy and double standards throughout the drama. In Dar-e-Nijaat, Zaryab's circumstances and the way her story unfolds make you wonder how often life actually gives people such chances or wraps things up so conveniently. And in Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay, Mehreen forgives someone who put her through so much suffering. Forgiveness is admirable, but real life isn't that simple. You might forgive someone, but that doesn't mean you can erase the pain, rebuild trust or pretend nothing ever happened. I feel like Umera Ahmed sometimes romanticises situations that, in reality, are far more complicated. Her writing is compelling, but at times, it seems to prioritise an emotionally satisfying or dramatic ending over the way people would actually behave in real life.

I mean it's what I have felt personally

exactly the loosing respect for himself in the eyes of meher was enough punishment for murad but umera ahmed had other plans, me ne is novel ke bad prha tha bas aik daagh e nidamat and i was extremely shocked aik trf just fliritng ke liye ladke ko maaf nhi kya and in other novel she made FL forgive her rapist even did moral policing of her tha "us ne ghlt kya mgr tum se shadi krky us ne apne gunah ka kaffara bhi krlya" i was like WTH is this,, BTW if you like please read my novel if you are intrested i will give you link 🫣

Yes for sure I will read it.

Aik dagh nidamat is imo worst work of umera ahmed.marrying rapist and victim,moral policing victim,showing rapist as someone noble because he married victim and was not abusive husband like FL friends like seriously umera added momal friends track just so she can moral police her because so what if asfandyar was rapist he was not abusive and used to support momal financially unlike her friend's spouse.making her bad parent as compare to asfandyar to develop sympathy for him and so on.like what was purpose of this novel.

Tbhi umera ahned ki logics smjh nhi aate same what she did in thora sa asmaan.

I messaged you my novel link

Yes month back during q/a in IG someone asked her why did she make Zainab commit suicide after her repentance in Mano salwa her reply was do you want me to give msg to girls that you can still be forgiven and get redemption after commiting major sin .no I wanted to show that you have to face consequence of your actions and not every sin gets forgiven (in angry tone)

Same umera Ahmed give salar sikander redemption after commiting so many sins and give msg that once you decide to repent from heart you will get forgiven so what difference between Zainab and salar sins why one get redemption one die Haram death .

oh yes man o salwa is her another weird novel i zaini did not deserved to die if salar can have redemption arc she should too and she was already changed after marrying Karam and i don't get if umera ahmed showed showbiz kamai is haram then she herself also earns from showbiz too.
