Yeh Arzoo nahi, ASOO hai

Well THANK GOD no unnecessary attempt to kill us with not-so-funny "humorous" scenes...
Because my head couldn't take another bump anymore. šŸ˜‰

One thing I really want to clear up is I am in a conflict with loving and hating Arzoo, Zaki and Sahir.

Seriously but yet I just can't hate them. Honestly I understand what Arzoo seems to see from her POV is that this man who came like a stranger to her life yet seems to be so
close, so familiar. Arzoo loves Sahir, wants to be with him yet stays so far.
But is being in love justified for being trampled on like a mat? Isn't that
what we women want the society to know . . . we are not the welcome doormat of
the house? Then why is Arzoo being like this? The problem with her is her
dignity and self-respect . . . it is lost at least in my eyes.

I will be blunt and cut you guys some slack. I am disappointed with her character development. If you compare to her counterpart Kashaf (those who are avid fans of Zindagi Gulzar Hai will be familiar with her). She too had a misogynistic man as her father who thinks women are child-bearing machines so he got married to another woman just for a son. No one bothered to explain that his chromosomes are responsible for the child's gender but alas not that he
will listen or even understand Biology.šŸ˜†

But that is where the similarity ends, unfortunately I suppose. Arzoo although unlike Kashaf is
bright, positive and happy person who finds beauty and joy in simple pleasures
while Kashaf was full of negativity and hatred towards men and life. I
absolutely loved this quality about Arzoo. Arzoo too wants to be independent
and take care of her mother, grandmother and sister. It was a beautiful
depiction both in the promo and in the beginning . . . but then everything went
all down the drain.

Suddenly Arzoo is not so strong anymore. The story is supposed to be about her being tough; level-headed person who turns into the woman of the house. The inspirational role-model for
her sisters - although I wouldn't blame her since every time she did try to be
strong, her pathetic hapless mother ruins everything. I don't understand which
part of her mother's brain is dead. I understand you still love your husband
but HELLO HE LEFT YOU AND INSULTS YOU. I guess she doesn't mind feeling humiliated but Arzoo does and even after explaining so much she still bothers to call and pick up
Sarfaraz's phone-call. Uggh. Although glad the mother is not shown so
often.

Isn't Arzoo doing the same mistake? šŸ˜•šŸ˜•

What type of love is this that makes Arzoo so weak, so helpless - and so dumb and idiotic? hehehe sorry had to add that... What about her dreams? Scratch that . . . what type of
smartness is in sacrificing where Sahir is not being able to see her point? Its
notmahantait isidiocyI tell you.

I think the main problem is that they three aren't talking to each other directly. FACE TO FACE? 🤢

Zaki should directly ask Arzoo if she loves him too.

Sahir should directly ask Arzoo if she loves Zaki?

Arzoo should directly tell Sahir about the plan.

Zaki and Arzoo should directly tell Sahir about how stupid they are...no they shouldn't then we would lose smartness ruins their brains...(Blood samples thing?)

Now I understand Arzoo's only retaliation is Asoo hence the title . . . but does she deserve to be
played on just because she couldn't explain her point to Sahir . . . Sahir
hates her I get it but whatever is he doing? I will love the drama though but
if she has any ounce of self-respect left she will leave him immediately or at
least from Niyamat house and become purely professional live in the outhouse
and pay rent or even better rent another small house and pay rent. I understand
her character is being butchered because of low TRP and pressure from stupid
Sony.

Normally if a guy whom I love accuses me of being a gold-digger and stuff I don't think I will just
cry and leave but Asoo-I meant Arzoo was hurt overwhelmingly so she just
couldn't express herself.šŸ˜›

And Arzoo being too friendly with Zaki, no matter how much of a jerk Zaki is to the whole women
clan (that's why I hate him sometimes) it is always Zaki who made her smile
when she is busy Asooing all the time 😭😭😭, he is respecting her and not pushing her
around (I guess they want to show Arzoo changes him too the way she effects
Sahir I can't even comment) They could have shown the love triangle in a better
way where you feel bad for the other guy. . . but I can't
even seem to understand anyone hahaha.šŸ˜†šŸ˜†šŸ˜†


Sahir will obviously think Arzoo is double timing, he understood Arzoo is always so close to him, no other woman has been so comfortable with him like duh . . . so suddenly Arzoo
ignores him takes over his younger brother's girlfriend's fake preggy new as
her own and is helping Zaki like a girlfriend its obvious he is angry. How
could she just leave him? How could she just ignore him? Why is Zaki so closer
to her suddenly? Why now? Why when he pushed her away she so easily swayed
towards his bro? OMG the way he was explaining Zaki as he wanted to convince
himself...and those mesmerizing eyes...

And now began a bet and the game of testosterones. I just hope Zaki doesn't become negative please
enough of negative characters.

And . . . need . . . more . . . . . dose . . . . of comedy!!! Can't . . . .breathe!!!

EXCITED FOR TOMORROW!!!šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘


RATING ā­ļø ā­ļø ā­ļø ā­ļø Of course for Sahir but Arzoo was nice too!!! 😃

I agree about Aarzoo's characterization.She should be afraid to love any man in the first place coz of her jerk father like Dadi and Nausheen told Alvira,but Aarzoo isn't afraid to love Sahir,instead she's started taking his abuses and accusations silently.This is sadly the butchery of an otherwise fabulous character.
And yes I want some nice comic scenes plz...enough of all this Rona dhona,preferably between Saaz ;)

She is slowly starting to turn into another Nausheen! I wonder if that is what the CVs had in mind all along. It must be why we never saw any growth in Nausheen's character because her daughters will also end up like her.

Arzoo was never level headed ... she was always impulsive, arrogant and insecure ... her arrogance/anger in fact stem from her insecurities i think ... you know when u r insecure u at times become aggressive, thinking offence is the best form of defence ... There is a difference between a strong woman and a full of herself woman ... now she is in love and many people say her love is making her do all this ... but from day one at Sayarra the way she has been behaving, no confident, level headed woman would behave that way! Only problem with arzoo is her impulsive behaviour is shown as the right behaviour and that is why many of us cant connect to her! If they had shown these things as behaviour that needs to improve ... she would be just as relatable as Sahir ... but even yesterday she was thinking about herself only and how she has been wronged ... she has not once thought about how she is wrong ... let alone office issues but even this pregnancy thing ... her heart might be at the right place while doing this but does she not understand what does it mean to say you are pregnant? And even her "Read my eyes" is immaturity ... I mean why it is said that even after years of marriage communication is the key ... you close all channels of communication and then expect other to read your eyes? Here they are not even in any relationship yet! Also she does a lot of self pity, another thing strong ones don't do ... she is always thinking about all he did for him (though i don't know what she did except get that deal back which was lost due to her carelessness to being with) you don't do that in love, specially when love is new, may be after years of having had a strained relationship you start thinking oh mey ney uss ke liey itna kia uss ney merey sath kia kiya šŸ˜† I think the need to always show FL as right and poor undoes them ... not just in this show I think on tube all around!

zaki even i don't want him to turn negative but he too can't see anything beyond himself ... when he was living a life of casanova then too he didn't think beyond himself and even now when he is in love he is thinking about himself only ... sumaira won't be here if she hadnt been sleeping around with her, would she be? Yes Sumaira lying is bad real bad but how does that absolve Zaki of any responsibility? The very fact that he is scared it could be his child ... is proof that he is partly responsible for Sumaira cashing in on it! And i don't know if its me but love hasn't softened him ... it has hardened him! Its' like i want what i want at whatever cost! And this again proves why reading eyes thing doesn't hold ... zaki read what he wanted to read in her eyes, he read love for him when there never was any! Sahir was right eyes can deceive ... because sometimes we see in them what we want to see!

And no Sahir isn't right either ... but what he is doing in the context of his character makes sense ... that is why he becomes the character you most enjoy watching! Because he makes you think and want to know what he will do next!

Actually I am surprised that Arzoo is so ready to believe and forgive Zaki especially after he said he wants to run away to Dubai and also said he js scared because what if the child turns out to be his!!
For a person who hates philandering men she should have been alerted to the fact that this guy could just be refusing to face up to his past...at least by these statements and his behaviour since Samaira has come!
And his friendliness to her shouldn't come in the way of her feeling sick at his behaviour!

That baffles me...she keeps feeling sorry for herself because she did so much and was mistaken! The way she went about it was wrong IMHO...and not explaining because you know you are right doesn't cut it...not when you have involved yourself in this kind of mess!

And actually she doesn't seem to think much about anything she does wrong...be it office or home...that's because she hasn't paid for her mistakes...in office she still behaves like it's her fiefdom...rude and unprofessional...!

She should have been shown as reflecting on her mistakes as well to be more relatable...that way there would be more connect to her..

And yes...she is not able to read either Zakis or Sahirs eyes ...to guAge their feelings so her expectation that Sahir should understand her and appreciate her for whatever she is doing seems misplaced

Yes i agree with Pri if we are to see arzoo in context of Sarfraz scenario then her supporting zaki and totally thinking of Sumaira as a villain is another inconsistency in her character ... yes he is her friend and its possible she believes him ... but the way she is treating Sumaira ... she is not even thinking that something must have happened for Sumaira to fall for zaki ... and may be her desperation led to her lying? I am not saying she shouldn't help zaki but given her own past shouldn't she be at least a little considerate of Sumaira too? At least till she didn't know about blood sample change?

And ur back with a bang of a post n the fun n humor makes it a must read ā­ļø

ALLRIGHT here is wht I genuinely feel ...

Sahir needs a break n a holiday away from the mad house šŸ˜‰

Zaki needs therapy n he can probably take ARZOO along too tht will be fun ...cos then we can be spared of the over dramatic n lame attempts at humorous stuff šŸ˜›

Well actually ARZOO can do with some communicating classes too. 😃

Sam needs to see the multipurpose doc ..tht will make sure she never faints in tht FAKE way ever AGN 😲

Rehman must already be celebrating in a PUB ...so I will let him pass

Now now where are KA Anam n Alvira ...is it a kitty' party but wait isn't KA too classless for tht ???šŸ˜†

I liked the Arzoo in Lucknow this showed how strong and emotionally independent she was . . . I think she took too many things for granted a real self-respected woman like her would hardly take help from anyone without giving anything in return...
I get it she lives in the outhouse but normally you at least ask to pay rent at least ASK?
Her family without any self-respect just come away and expected to stay here until they find to do something about their homelessness. And then they suddenly bomb Arzoo with such responsibilities . . . . of omg we have no home . . . omg!

BTW . . . .isn't Myra still in college or school? Didn't she get admitted anywhere? Sorry i HAVE NO IDEA!!!

And I agree with Soaps1 she was always full of herself and always hides herself in self-pity I still expected a slap from her to Sahir and Zaki both but honestly I am liking the evil planning of Sahir hehehehe so sue me if I am heartless because this is not love this is as I said before its known as idiocy!!!! 😔

I hope after all this bet drama she will come to her senses puh-lease!😭
