The drama’s conclusion saw Maham, the first wife, tried to attempt suicide and suffer a mental breakdown following her divorce from Zaroon. Meanwhile, Zaroon and his second wife, Shafaq, become parents, leading to a seemingly ‘happy’ ending for them.
This stark contrast has drawn widespread criticism from the audience, who expressed profound sadness and anger over Maham’s suffering.
Many fans slammed Zaroon for abandoning Maham and causing her distress, with some calling him responsible for her mental state. The ending has fueled a strong social media conversation about second marriages in society, with several viewers stating they felt sad that the first wife was made to suffer while the husband moved on. Zaroon’s mother also faced heat for arranging the second marriage.
