Hey Jyoti excellent post...
I was a bit conflicted after watching the episode today, and it took me some time to formulate an opinion, and your post did help!
- Sahir's anger, again, seems to be directed inwards. He is mad at himself for being fooled once more. He is broken that he trusted the wrong person again
- I think Sahir still took a giant leap of faith when he went to talk to Zaki about it. He wanted to wait for a confirmation before he judged her, and I thought that was quite matured of him.
- I had the same conclusion about 'what would have happened if she spoke up'. Granted, at least Sahir and Alvira would have trusted her. But she would have to tell them the whole truth, and not just say "no I am not pregnant and that's it". because Sahir would still have questions about the hospital visit and KA wouldn't have stopped with her venom-spitting accusations.
- After reading your post, I watched the last part of the episode again. and I saw 2 things that I didn't see earlier
a) When KA asked Sahir if he wouldnt save Arzoo's reputation today, he was just going to say something when he saw Zaki. and when he saw Zaki, he retracted. Because, in his mind, she wasn't his to protect any more. She was, just maybe, was Zaki's
b) Arzoo seemed heartbroken and sad when she was being accused. But the timing of Sahir's entry coincided (brilliantly) with her seeing Zaki too. and at that moment, I think her expression changed from the 'accused' to the 'decision-maker'. There was no reason for her to stop Zaki, other than the deal. According to her earlier lines to Zaki, Sahir should (and would) find out. So why not tell him. But the rational mind of hers thought it wasn't the right time. Not unless everything was confirmed.
The ONLY thing I am still not happy about is that Arzoo, the woman who's father had betrayed her mother, and someone who shouldn't tolerate a man's playboy behaviour was too quick to believe Zaki's version of the events. She was too quick to believe that Samaira was a lying woman. Samaira could be the worst person in the world, but Arzoo has no basis to come to that conclusion, especially when she has been witness to Zaki's flings.
There... I am done 😆
Shwetha - excellent pics again!
