Adiya journey- A tribute

As the day progresses Zoya's and Aditya's path clash unexpectedly when Zoya is faced with the possibility that her husband Yash who died in the car accident might be having an affair with Pooja who is Aditya's wife. Zoya is shattered so is the world of her love. For Aditya as the secret of his wife's affair unfolds, each new truth shatters him.

If for Zoya the perfect world Yash build for her in the name of love, fulfilling her every want, not fighting with her, keeping her like a princess in every sense comes crashing down as she realizes the debt the husband has. The condition of his company and the truth that she was never a friend to him shatters her more. As if adding insult to injury the man who claimed to love her was going to be a father to the child his mistress was carrying.

As Zoya assimilites these truth, she finds solace in Aditya who with each truth is broken more. As he realizes from Pooja's diary his wife considered him an insensitive jerk and the reason for their unborn's child's abortion he breaks down. The image he thought his wife painted of him shatters him. The woman who called him, her best friend was writing all the bad things about him in the diary. That diary was the truth of her real opinion about him. Not what she claimed. And it hurts him more when her mother whom he has treated as his own shouts at him for being responsible for whatever her daughter did.

If the meaning of love breaks down for Zoya, once again trust on people's words and actions get broken for Aditya.

But in the mess they find each other. As Zoya walks with Aditya she learns the true meaning of love. Love didnt build castles for her, but made her stand up on her own. Love that didnt mollycoddle her, but made her walked on the hard path of thorns than in roses. Love that allowed injuries to her, but at the same time bandaged those injuries. Love that kept her in his heart when she was away. Love that questioned her, but didnt give her place in his heart to someone else. Love that was not only sweet words, but bitter words too, but love that came to her everytime when she was alone, when she was in danger. Aditya doesnt give Zoya the delusional love. Aditya doesnt make her feel everything is perfect. But he stands loyal to Zoya. He fights and argues. He irritates and questions. He hurts and bring tears to her eyes, still openly admits he cant live without her. There is no life in him without her. There cant be another woman in his life apart from her. He committs mistakes,but ask forgiveness, he never tries to be perfect. Finally with him Zoya experiences the truth of love that is beyond the fairy tales, but the love that teaches you to live.

If Zoya experiences love, Aditya learns to trust. Unlike Pooja who gave him a goody face in upfront and wrote all nonsense about him in the diary, Zoya speaks directly to him. If on one hand she cares for him, in the next second she doesnt hesitate to point out his flaw. If Zoya learned independance and self reliance in Aditya's love, Aditya becomes a matured individual in Zoya's friendship. She teaches him to be responsible. She brings out the best in him. She unites him with his estranged family. Even while she is away Aditya doesnt destroy himself in self pity. But he takes over the reins of his father's firm, looks after his mother. The most important thing, he learns to accept himself for what he is, he learns to seek sorry. He learns Zoya has never kept any secret between them, but to the best possible way she has always hidden his flaws from the world. She openly accuses him of not being Ram, but she never tells a third party not even to her mom what transpired between her and her husband. When he realizes she has been always truthful to him, he seeks the apology not because she was pure, but because she was truthful to tell him he is not God. She was truthful to tell him on his face he had questioned her self respect. She had not kept any secret diaries to bash him. And he wanted the truth of his life. The girl who can show his goodness to the world and point out his darkness to him, but hide from the world. The girl who will help him to evolve as a better human.

Yash told he loved Zoya, but real love was shown to Zoya by Aditya. Pooja claimed she was the best friend Aditya ever had, but Zoya with her actions showed what friendship means. Pooja told Aditya doesnt know to love, when Zoya hugs him in the end it was her silent approval that she had only bloomed in his love which had all the shades not just romance. Yash complained Zoya was not a good friend, but when Aditya made that long walk to apologize to Zoya it was a proof what kind of a friend she was.

Love is not the rain of romance Poosh had which destroyed lives. Love is what Adiya shared between them that made them better humans and brought happiness to people around them.

Sorry for the late unres I read it right away when u posted it but wanted to leave a detailed comment. You have summed up the essence of Bepannaah in this one post so beautifully, like u always do 😊 I could never have imagined a more perfect start to this heartbreakingly beautiful journey with AdiJa and ZoSh. How both Adi and Zoya are blissfully happy and blissfully unaware of their respective spouses imminent death and worse the truth that will shatter that illusion and in turn their lives forever. What attracted me to this show was not just the crackling chemistry JenShad had in the very first promo but the stark contrast between the faith both the characters had. Both the characters had been madly in love with their spouses n when their death leaves behind a million dollar question which is more of a conundrum, Adi is quick to believe his wife betrayed him while Zoya is firm that her trust in Yash can never be broken. This is what compelled me to watch this show.

Coming to PooSh, the major issue with both of them was communication gap. But given how their story unfolded, I will still say that Pooja was better than Yash. At least she did make an attempt, bleak or not, that everything is not perfect in her marriage unlike Yash who allowed Zoya to believe in her fairytale fantasy. Pooja knew even if she left Adi, Adi would be broken but he would not let this betrayal stop him from living his life whereas Yash knew how naive n innocent Zoya was. Never for once did he spare a thought that this girl had gone against her family to be with him. If he left her, the entire world would mock her for placing her life in his hands. Whereas the society would still empathize with Adi. His parents would always support him without mocking him for trusting Pooja unlike in Zoya's case where she would be taunted day in n out by her father for not heeding his advice n marrying Yash. PooSh betrayal did not only break them but it was also instrumental in helping them evolve as a person. Zoya lived in a sheltered cocoon where she was unaware of the harsh reality called life n since she had lived a comfortable life with her parents n her husband too gave her the same luxury she never felt the need to be responsible where family matters were concerned. Esp the financial aspect of it. Her decision to move in with Aroras may not have been the best but it helped her become strong. Where she once blindly trusted people n let them manipulate her, I was really happy when she gave Mahi the cold shoulder during paak PooSh track. Zoya came across as a stronger person coz she had the ability to forgive. Because if u can't forgive, u cannot move on n u will only let that bitterness break u further. Adi on the other hand broke down n somewhere this was needed. Because he had to come out of his B&W world since he himself as a person was not perfect. Of course he is not guilty of the many horrible things he was accused of by the woman he loved as a mother but he had to realise that people around him were humans and to err, is human as opposed to being a perfectionist n seeking perfection n believing everything was perfect in his life. Adi's scars ran deeper unlike Zoya's n though he realized his follies it would be a long time before he overcame them.

I loved the differences u have highlighted between the way Zoya and Pooja handled their marriage with Aditya. Zoya gave Adi something which Pooja could never give despite being his best friend and that was honesty. As far as relationships are concerned, I personally feel friendship is something where u can be honest without being afraid of being judged. Most often we are scared of what our parents think of us and where a romantic relationship is concerned, I guess the priority is to always keep ur partner happy. Its very rare that I have seen children have an open relationship with their parents or partners being open about themselves with their better halves. Pooja claimed there was nothing but friendship in their marriage but if that was truly the case, her marriage would have been successful. If Adi showered Zoya with unconditional love, Zoya trusted Adi as a friend. Their relation was a perfect amalgamation of trust and love. Though I am not happy with the way AdiYa's last phase was explored (coz even I feel this had the potential to be the best track), Adi's insecurity had to be addressed. It was not done the way it should have been but we more or less got an essence of it. I wish Adi was shown to repent n we had got to see the journey of Adi truly overcoming his trust issues n proving himself worthy of Zoya's love but if channel decides to shut shop then there is nothing one can do about it. Nevertheless we got some beautiful AdiYa moments that will remain with me forever n always thankful to Ani sir for sharing this story with us.

A big thank u for bringing out the essence of this story. TBH there were many instances which even JenShad mentioned they had not taken it seriously but ur analysis brought out those nuances beautifully ❤️

I don't know if we are ever getting a show, a pair and characters like this ever again.

@kiru I can say till the last episode Ani sir made me feel Adiya. It might have been rushed, but even then when I rewatch the last scene I do get an inner peace.

you penned down about adiya journey very well.

U justified everything so nicely.

Though our show couldn't find the closure perfectly yet it left us with such a beautiful evolution of the characters.

I mean how come they even think about making waseem a softie after a heart attack( totally kidding)

But,frankly huge round of applauses for the makers.
