hania frustrates me in the sense that she chooses interesting characters on their face but the dramas never really live up to the hype themselves and her characterization feels like it loses substance at some point, so i can never feel completely satisfied. like anaa and ishqiya are dramas that i overall did not enjoy watching at all (esp the latter.. even before the abuse reveal i really have never cared for feroze as an actor and found him to be uncomfortably aggressive in a lot of his roles) and they were way too long for my liking but i did think dania and rumi were somewhat interesting. dania choosing to get away completely from the abusive and reductive environment of the haveli to live with her father and pursue studies felt like a good conclusion, but at the same time the buildup to that conclusion wasn’t all that compelling (in all fairness though it’s hard to be compelling alongside shehzad as an actor 💀). and with rumi i do think leaving hamza is something that made sense, bc regardless of however remorseful he was now he had willingly kept from her how extensively he had terrorized hamna previously and how he had only married rumi to continue that reign of terror, even if the circumstances changed along the way. but the ending also felt so abrupt and sudden and never really gave much closure so i couldn’t be entirely satisfied with it either even if i did want rumi to be free
and that’s more or less where i’m at with mujhe pyaar hua tha. awful, awful drama that seems intent to repeatedly brutalize hania’s character for being a victim to other people’s forced choices on her person so audiences can villainize her for not being perfect or loving back the “good” guy. and i have a feeling given hania’s track record (well. with the exception of mere humsafar but that was a train wreck of colossal proportions) that she will end this drama ending up single as well and it will be the conclusion she deserves after all of the abuse. but it won’t feel well earned bc she’ll never really demonstrate a capacity to stand up for herself until only the very last moment. she has a lot of talent as an actress but she never seems to capitalize on it well it’s really a shame :/
Rumi was the one character of Hania that really got her mainstream wali success. it helped her as an actor as well because Rumi closely resembles to how Hania is irl. i mean the mannerisms and all. i don't think any other character of Hania has gotten such success? in terms of success, after Ishqiya it was Mere Humsafar that was a huge hit and Hala was anything but a character with any power or agency. Anaa is remembered more for the Izza Altamash story. and MPHT has fully been a Wahaj show from the start even though the drama has crashed and burned by now.
Hania is not a bad actor. ever since Janaan her potential and especially her strong screen presence has been very evident. but I really don't understand, based on the projects she has done, what is so unique about Hania except her conventionally pretty looks and that dimpled smile? i haven't seen her bring in anything extra to her characters that cannot be credited to her good looks?? and I am talking about projects where the writing isn't on her side aka something like Ishqiya. i always feel like Hania just keeps her personal philosophy of living her life completely locked while choosing a project despite benefiting from it when she's not in character. Hania Amir is the coolest chick on the block; fun, quirky, life of the party but also keeping it real, the most popular girl in high school! but none of the big projects she does has ever reflected that on screen in a positive way? like even Rumi had a very pathetic ending despite her being the ONLY GOOD PERSON In the show (my issues with Ishqiya will never end istg). for someone who advocates for many issues, she hasn't really used the power of the audience pull she has to do something about it through her work. am I making sense?
it's like Hania tried being herself onscreen and realized that doesn't work with the masses so she has now said, 'ya know? fuck it all. i'd rather cry and cower onscreen if it means my projects get the views and ratings and i'll defend my characters when asked about them. i need to pay them bills to live the life I actually want to live. the work i do onscreen is just a job and i need not take it home with me.' which ya know..good for her!
