We all use the word hate everyday without really meaning it. I do too. But when it comes to describing characters and plot, I feel there should be some more thought instead of exaggeration and hyperbole.
I saw some BTS or interview with Preetika where she described the wedding drama and how Zain comes back to get his phone. She kept saying how Zain and Aliya hate each other right now.
No, they don't. They never did from the start, nor do they now. The characters may have used the word "hate" as we all do in our real lives. But in terms of the narrative, they never hated each other, and especially not at the time Zain came back to get his phone.
Aliya lashed out at him saying she hated him, yes. And even if you take that into account, it still doesn't mean that "they hate each other" as Preetika had said. It was only on Aliya's part (and that too, it was her lashing out).
Zain still doesn't hate her. He feels betrayed, angry, helpless, resentment, etc. But hate? Hate is strong, hate consumes you, it festers in your heart. So far, there is still no hate from Zain. Though it is very much possible that all those feelings and emotions he has now may soon mold and become hate. But as of right now, there is no hate on either side. And there never has been.
I am glad this is not a typical hate marriage. Or a hate relationship. I love that Zain is not some jackass (so far). Don't diminish the nuance of the story and characterizations by describing the Zain-Aliya relationship as "hate."
