Zoya had a historical dialogue in Qubool
Hai which she said to Asad when he
questioned her. She said "Yeh mere
kapde hain, mera character nahi hai!",
following that, an entire monologue of
hers focuses on her need to be an
independent woman. From her clothes to
her thinking, modernism had engulfed her
in a positive way but she still held true to
her traditions. Despite her need to have
her voice heard, she was not afraid to
face any situation at hand but still
preferred to consult her husband.
