naaz uThaana: to bear wtih airs

Description of naaz uThaana: Naaz uThaana is an Urdu idiom meaning to pamper, indulge, or spoil someone by tolerating their whims, airs, or tantrums with excessive tenderness. Unlike mere affection, it implies over-indulgence that fosters entitlement or bad temper. Differs from laad karna, as it specifically evokes bearing coquettish demands rather than general spoiling. In Urdu poetry, it portrays lovers enduring the beloved's nazaak , as in Ghalib's verses on romantic devotion.
