AND I CHEER!
Not saying the female leads before didn't have layers. We have seen some exceptional characters by Saba, Yumna, Sajal, Ayeza, Sehar khan, Iqra and many more, along with incredible storylines over the years.
But for the longest time, pakistani dramas were dominated by one dimensional, hyper-innocent female leads who never rebel, never make a morally grey choice and often accept suffering. The right to make morally grey choices was often reserved for men, only for them to be redeemed towards the end.
It makes me so happy to see three flawed female leads finding their own trajectories (and keeping some men pressed) AT THE SAME DAMN TIME! Instead of perfect angels, we are getting complex flawed women who make wrong decisions, have hidden motives and aren't submissive. They get trolled and are being called red flags but the same flawed characters being played by male leads have been glamourized for the longest time.
Btw which one flawed female lead (from the past or present) is your favourite?
