It seemed like more of a challenge than wish

The feeling I got after watching today's episode was Zeenat was almost doubting Saahir's capability of becoming a competent business man. She basically told him your an artiste and you should stick to that. It seemed like Saahir wanted to prove himself to be a competent business man in front of her more than fulfill her wish in order to make her happy.

Thoughts?...

I felt the same too. He seemed like a poet and artist before. He was forced to be a businessman by this challenge...and I am sure he is not enjoying this role of his...that's why that contempt in him, when he says that since 7 yrs he is living this challenge..
Artists are free birds who like to express themselves, probably he feels suffocated in the current situation of his.
Regarding the similarity between him and Arzoo is that both are expressive people. Arzoo likes being poetic too...she is very similar to him ..what he was 7 yrs ago. Loving caring and sensitive...

Exactly , mere muh ki baat cheen li

It goes to show Saahir is a bit vain too. A lot like Arzoo. This explains the attraction even more so he sees a replica of himself in her. Also it explains why he is so unhappy as well he is not content with his personal or professional life as he is not doing what makes him happy but what would make him look good in front of Zeenat.

I posted the same thing on another thread

"May be the whole thing about the promise is actually an ideological challenge. The way Zeenat says that he cannot do business, and him promising that he will be one of the richest men in India. At that point he looks like he is completly in love with her.

But coming back to the present, he actually says "Mera vaada pore hone ko hai Zeenat,lekhin ise dekhne ke liye tumhe vaapas aana hoga" , there is an intensity in that dialogue, amounting to hatred (or so I think). All she wanted was money and now he has it. Its like his victory over her."

yes it gives lots of hints that their marriage was not as rosey as it comes across! maybe she craved money at one point which he didnt have and went to some other place to find it. Lots of hints given.

Yes @ red even I felt sahir wanted to prove that he can be a successful businessman. I feel she tried to taunt him.
