What. A. Brilliant. Episode.
👏
Why? Oh PUH-LEASE. We got a ZaYa overload today. *does the moonwalk*
Okay. Now getting to the actual stuff.
Harshad Arora
Isn't the word "perfection" too small or less a word for him? The way he is pulling it off. Oh my. I swear, even actors with years of experience and knowleege haven't impressed me this much.
The way he does it. It's like, even I can act. Okay jokes apart. Harshad is just too bloody FANTASTIC.
Zain Abdullah
I'm so freaking happy to see this magnificent transition in his character. From a Zain who swore to never let Aaliya be a part of his life, to a Zain who wants that very same Aaliya to be with him all the time, every day, every hour, every second.
His impatience, his restlessness, his anger. They were so pure, and right from the heart. Zain has finally realised, that Aaliya always did, always has, and always will be THE most important part of his life.
There's absolutely no doubt. Zain WILL be the first one to fall.
Stereotyping has hopefully come to an end.
Zain/Harshad stole the show completely today.
Now coming to the ZaYa scenes. Each and every one was beautiful in its own way.
Neither too much, nor too less. Just perfect.
When Zain was angry with his darling wife for keeping him waiting like that. Showed how much he respected her and wanted her, or rather needed her.
When Aaliya's eyes welled up with tears when he refused to forgive her. She wasn't capable of bearing his anger. She didn't want that at all.
When Zain adored her as she tried on the "old-fashioned" earings. Basically, even the smallest of things about her have started to please him.
When Aaliya entered the room like a celestial being and sweeped her husband off his feet. He has finally begun to appreciate and admire her ethereal beauty.
When Zain tried hard to avoid her tying his tie. But alas, he just had to.
And in each of these scenes, I was moved by the way Zain's gleaming eyes were always on her and a smile cropped up on his face, for no actual reason.
Agar ye pyaar nahi hai, toh ya kya hai janaab? 😆
No matter who the villain is going to be, ZaYa will come out strong, will come out TOGETHER.
And today's episode was more than enough to tell us, that Zain will always be there for her, till death do them apart.
Keep calm, and drown in ZaYa.
