This post is bang on. I totally get what you are trying to say.
I have a problem with the complete 180 Kabeer's character has taken.
I'm not married so don't know the reality but from what i have heard,stuff like this does happen in real life. Reality isn't a fairytale. I even appreciate the CV's for showing something which i doubt has been ever shown on TV.
But the point in all this is that Kabeer doesn't seem consistent. If Kabeer is so hell bent on his usool's and if he firmly believes the marriage and everything related to it is a "farz" then why even show all that crying in the Kashmir track. Obviously he would try and find her when she was kidnapped but if he had no romantic feelings for her and didn't feel for her on a deeper level then why show all the crying with her clothes scenes? WHY? I can't come in terms with that.
Had they shown him to be this rigid since the beginning it would have not been a problem(i would still have hated Kabeer, still feel bad for Zara) but his character would have been CONSISTENT.
I don't know... but i find them to be two different Kabeer's and that's why i find it difficult to conncect to the show aajkal.
Lets see where this is heading... I don't watch the episodes anyways, WU padhna hi kaphi hai. Maybe Miraj's entry and the Ramdan track are interesting...? Though i doubt it.
Right now,I just want to see a separation track where Zara is least bothered by him or his advances... He will get a dose of his medicine then.
