Where Aik Mohabbat Aur has served novelty when it comes to gender-based issues, the drama serial has moved to the classic trope of ‘marriage of convenience’ as Haroon (Ahad Raza Mir) proposes to Khushbakht (Maya Ali). Haroon, solely out of love, comes forward with a clear proposal, which is met with a yes; however, Khushbakht tells how she has no attachment.
Distressed by Haseeb’s (Sachal Afzal) feelings towards her, Khushbakht has made an abrupt decision to marry Haroon, but she has been precise in ensuring that Haroon understands that she has no feelings for him and would not accept the proposal if any of the set of parents disapprove of it. While she has built familiarity with Haroon over work and honest interest in her, she remains reluctant due to her traumatic past.
Despite the classic trope, Aik Mohabbat Aur has shown the couple to be clear with each other regarding their feelings and expectations for the relationship. Two ambitious individuals with flourishing careers are to come together, one out of convenience and one out of love. Invested in their upcoming romance, viewers appreciate how the characters are etched together. Applauding the to-the-point conversation between Haroon and Khushbakht, an X user posted:

Regardless of the convenience angle, netizens have picked on the woman for making the choice without any secondary influence or pressure. A netizen took to X and posted:
We are getting a marriage of convenience but it’s by choice of the leads. They are consciously choosing for themselves. There’s no external pressure, no third person forcing them, no sacrifice.#aikmohabbataurpic.twitter.com/vCsb2E7sFy

as much as their characters are beautifully penned down they are much more beautifully portrayed by the actors and it showed wonderfully on my screen. Like what a scene every dialogue every word hit right to the core. #aikmohabbataur pic.twitter.com/gE4LxkLNSY
