As much as I want to love the show , the issues never cease to exist n I can't love the show as I want to😆

U have written so much on ARZOO dear but the fact remains tht she has a steep learning curve ahead of her ...she needs to learn to handle situations maturely

I know the epis haven't been fantastic ESP the one yesterday but I hope things go up now

It's very unlikely of the PH to show all this ..I am quiet disappointed

Yes I hear you Ecrivain. 😭 one of the main reasons I didn't enjoy this week was exactly as you say, the pr

Yes I hear you Ecrivain. 😭 one of the main reasons I didn't enjoy this week was exactly as you say, the problems never cease to exist. I was very happy up to the point we had the Sahir 'sorry' scene. He had found out more about Arzoo. Arzoo too was happy, finally they were understanding each other and it was beautiful. But then she asked about his past, he lost it, she lost it and ever since then their misunderstandings, issues have created a massive chasm between them. I know people are looking forward to the nok jhok but Arzoo has been so full of poison this week and Sahir is feeling so guilty I can't see anytime soon where their problems will cease.
Also it is rare to show an imperfect FL, but I will keep my fingers crossed. I think the makers are trying to change direction to draw in the masses (they do need to make money after all) but also keep the intelligent audience (that's all of us 😳 ) also happy.

But they do need to close out the Rehman track now and sort out the stupid dvd thing. That's the final sword dangling over sahir's head and it kills me thinking about what will happen if Arzoo finds out.

And I want to see Arzoo take a chill pill...constantly throwing poison at Sahir ain't going to solve any problems. Acceptance is peace!!! 😆

Wow VD what a lovely post. I have been trying to get up-to-date with two weeks worth of episodes and was getting quite overwhelmed with the changes in Arzoo and Zaki. It felt like I could not get Arzoo at all. And that was saddening cause till date I had loved her character despite some inconsistencies.

As usual an amazing post VD 😊 Your analysis of the characters is always interesting and your posts make me think and reassess the characters, which makes them a bit more bearable for me.

Your post has rooted her character better for me - and for that - thank you 😊

Arzoo definitely has a lot of growing up to do. She is a very kind person but someone who judges everyone with one single yardstick. So empathy (be it for Sahir or Zara or Nausheen) is not her strong point... exception being Zaki.

As she loves, gets hurt and heals and grows, she (like all of us) will become more empathetic and less rigid about her own set of rules.

Anyways thank you for this post. I loved it.

Since past one week I have been feeling that Arzoo is completely out of depth when it comes to Sahir. Her reactions to the situations have been of a person who is immature, impulsive and at the best childish. She can't see things beyond herself and that is her biggest flaw for me. Her reaction to the betrayal is to fall into the arms of another man, is that how people deal with pain ? it also tells me that what she felt for sahir wasn't really love but an infatuation, she had never met a man like him in her life, he was way above her league and in the initial days he does remind her that she is simply a junior designer working in a company that he owns.

She is enamoured and intrigued by his blow hot blow cold attitude and wants to know more, its a fascination like that of a child who is drawn to the fire but does not that it can burn. N when the truth hits her, she instantly starts hating him without bothering to find out the reasons behind it. Any woman would wonder about her lover's wife, but she doesn't, its enough he is married and bus, its all over. She seeks solace in her friend who starts to woo her and again she can;t see where its going. Women are usally born with sixth sense but she doesn't seem to have any.

I know we all love SAAZ and their chemistry together is superb, but looking at Arzoo's characterization I am forced to think that she may not be the right person to heal him. He needs someone consistent, someone who will love him for what he is, not what she wants him to be. Someone who will not get upset and run at the first whiff of trouble but will stand up and fight to save his soul from the demons that continue to haunt him.

Can Arzoo do all that, does she have it in her, don't think so, she isn't really in love with him yet, and her faith is eroded, she can only give him pain and nothing else. I would love to see Arzoo, change, mature and then fall in love with Sahir again and accept him with all his flaws. its a tall order and i am not very optimistic. Sorry but thats how I feel.

She still needs to develop the right kind of love for Sahir...so far it has indeed been infatuation and awe...love is there, but she can't recognise/understand it yet...thats why she also said (and probably her single most sensible dialogue of the week) that even though my mind is telling me one thing...my heart is very clear and beats only for Sahir.

Loved your description and I hope we have some interesting scenes from here onwards
