@dooree

Aside from the zulm she had to bear, Durr e Shahwar was kind of a moron in her youth with a major “poor me” syndrome. When her sister and friend asked about “Mooon Dekhaee” she could’ve said that her husband gave her money- instead she said “SAU DEEAY” with a sad puppy eyed look as if she was the biggest victim in the world. that was pretty immature and !frankly insensitive her hubby prob couldn’t afford more and even if he could, it was rather classless of her to make him the laughing stock in front of her friends/family. Then the issue over food :s - like freakin CRYING while eating at susral and then making that puppy face in front of her parents and saying “ub adat nahi rahee” (regarding salad)- like WTF woman I am not gonna feel sorry for you just because the food is too spicy for you or you aren’t getting your flipping salad or had to eat parathas! her “Poor Me” syndrome is super irritating and totally sidelines her actual problems.

i think we should see that it is a story of past.actually our mothers’s young age.this type of marriages were common in those days.about 'money matter’i think durr e shahwar is clueless about all these sensitivities of life ,she had led a very easy and straight life so she don’t know how to handle.even now girls suffer from these attitudes.
