Disclaimer: We, by no means, endorse cheating or marital infidelity

The last few episodes of Meray Pass Tum Ho have been emotionally charged and if there’s one thing we’ve established, it’s that Mehwish is a complete villain.

We, at Galaxy Lollywood, just got thinking about how Meray Pass Tum Ho might have been written if Ayeza’s character wasn’t so out and out negative. What if there had been some grey undertones to make Mehwish more complicated — and more real — than she is? How would the country’s hot favorite show turn out was it written from the cheating wife’s perspective?

A chance meeting

Before meeting Shahwar, Mehwish is shown to be happy with her little family. She loves her son and her husband but has always dreamed of a better life and is often exasperated by Danish’s lack of ambition.

All of this seems to us a rather sanitized depiction of what a typical middle-class husband would usually be like. In reality, a man like Danish would definitely have his share of negatives — which the writing in the drama conceals. There must be something which has gone awry between him and Mehwish, which would be reflected in his behavior towards her. A behavior that Mehwish, over time, would have resented.

At the wedding where she meets Shahwar, Mehwish is charmed by the smooth-talking devil. After the dinner at Shahwar’s place, she eyes his considerable wealth and an opportunity to give herself and her son, Roomi, a better life.

The job

Flirting with Shahwar and getting a job at his office cements Mehwish’s infidelity towards Danish. While she’s started her journey as a failed wife, her 1 lac salary gets Roomi into the school she has always desired.

As she gets closer to Shahwar, he offers her promotion after promotion until the Islamabad offer comes up. She sits in the hotel room and debates her options.

On one hand, is the man she once loved, who’s so at ease in his mediocrity that he has no plans to give Roomi more than an average future. On the other hand, a man who’s enamored with her, offers her abundant wealth, and the chance to earn a better life for herself and her child.

She knocks on the door.

The divorce

After coming back from Islamabad, she knows there’s no turning back. Her heart hurts for the betrayal Danish will feel but she’d rather let him hate her than live with the knowledge that everything she’s done is to give their child the life he never could.

After Danish and Shahwar meet, she’s eager to get out of the house which she’ll be leaving behind with so much heartache. As she puts Roomi to bed on that last night, she vows to take him out of that dingy flat and into a better home, a better life.

The fight for Roomi

After leaving behind her life with Danish, she cozies up to Shahwar, spending months traveling the world with him, getting closer to him. She even talks about going back to the office so she can start some personal savings in case Shahwar doesn’t marry her and things go south.

When she’s positive that she’s gained his trust, she tentatively brings up the topic of bringing Roomi to Shahwar’s house.

After a failed meeting with Danish and Shahwar’s warning to her to stay as his lover and not become divided into a mother, Mehwish tries something else.

She goes to Roomi’s school and has a fit, later getting Shahwar to threaten Danish with a lawsuit when she’s unable to see him.

Things come to a head

The wheels are set in motion and soon after, the all dramatic meeting between Danish and Shahwar takes place. Danish’s assault bruises Shahwar’s ego and gives Mehwish the perfect opportunity to sue for custody.

Now, she can finally start the fight to get her son back and give him the life she’s always dreamed of with Shahwar’s wrath and top-notch law team at her side. In doing so, she is also able to attain a better life — and better mental health — for herself too, with marriage being on the cards in the medium term.

Final word

This is all that has happened in the drama so far but as you can see, every single thing that’s happened so far in Meray Pass Tum Ho can be flipped around quite easily once perspective is changed.
