Before I begin, let me say I love this chemistry also but this is not what I
prefer to see. I need that simmering tension which
always existed between the two before the leap! Now, they behave like chaddi buddies which just makes no sense whatsoever😕 This heightened sense of comfort level between the two is not what I want to see!
I really, really love this new enterprising Zoe who's not beholden to the likes of her ex and his family due to her misplaced sense of responsibility and guilt. The chirpier(?) Zoya we see right now was the exact same we saw in the first episode before the fateful night, only now she's subconsciously imbibed the traits of Adi (something one tends to do when one fancies someone, take that from a neuroscience student😆), but you don't revert to your previous self after going through an ordeal of this magnitude which is why Aditya not going back to his previous sassy, goofy self makes so much narrative sense. The pre-Paak Rishta Zoya used to read Adi like an open book but the current one has still not gauged the state of mind Adi is in and that's also jarring.
