I am super uncomfortable with the Siddique's promoting Arshad as love interest for Zoya.

She does deserve a second chance, but what these have been doing...is it believable that a women who had been cheated can fall in and out of relationships so easily?? Especially when Zoya is so much more clear about her thoughts and feelings.
Sadly Siddique's haven't really felt herloss if they did they would have never taken a decision for her. Instead would have left it to her to decide the best.

@Bold exactly my thoughts. Waseem seems to be blind to love, people of the older/arranged marriage generation often forfeit things like love when they want their kids to be married off ASAP.

It baffles me how a father, who is supposed to love and protect his daughter more than anyone else in the world, literally is asking his daughter to give her life away to another man in order to satisfy his whim of keeping her away from Aditya. Wth is wrong with the Siddiquis?

What surprises me as well is how they don't take Zoya's thought processes into considerations at all. It's like they're punishing her for her mistake of marrying Yash.

It baffles me too. Just because Zoya chose s wrong guy as her husband that doesn't mean she will choose a wrong guy as her best friend too. Looks like Waseem still thinks his daughter is dumb and innocent or his patriarchal nature wants him to govern Zoya's life or he is scared Zoya will once again choose someone else over him and leave him.

He needs to understand Zoya's feelings too.

I agree with ur every word. No matter what intention Waseem has, but he doesn't get a right to fix Zoya's alliance against her wish. His protectiveness or hatred for Adi or anything else...nothing can justify this!

N about thinking about Zoya's past, well that has been my complaint with the story since Adi's realisation episodes. There are just not bothered to link the present with their past. AdiYa accepted their mistakes, apologised to their late spouses, immersed their pic in the lake n bid them aakhri alvida n that was it!!! It looks as if they have taken some oath that they won't even take PooSh's name! But this is not how a person moves on in a moment. It is a continuous process, isn't it? I m glad that they are over them in their routine life, but this is unbelievable that their past doesn't haunt them even in the situations like love n marriage etc. I still have my hopes that one day we will get an elaborate intensely emotional scene on this where they connect their past, present and future, have their respective insecurities n help each other deal with them, feel the differences n emerge stronger. That's when the "move on" stage will be completed according to me.

N Roshana being the mother of Zoya, I hope she understands the emotional turmoil this alliance brings in her daughter's life n she has a word of wisdom with her rather that being a spineless wife to Waseem.


I'm glad you brought that up. I don't expect Zoya to remember Yash but it's kind of weird that PooSh, the basis of the story, were just left alone like that. I liked how Namita shot that scene with Pooja telling Adi to choose his love, his future. I want Zoya to remember the failures of her marriage and how it's so different with Aditya. This whole show is about second chances. I really think Zoya comparing her friendship with Adi to her relation with Yash could serve as a catalyst to make her realize that Adi is the love she deserves, not Yash.

The real questions raised kind of get lost in the comments. Isn't it high time in Dramas to show that a woman can have a say. Why in Indian dramas a daughter can only show her love or respect for family by following each and every order of family. Isn't a person has more right upon their own life? Can't she object the decisions thrown her way without discussions or getting her side of the story? If she did then how she is disrespecting her father or family? I NEVER get this logic. To agree for marriage just because your father said so.. for whatever reason it may be.. sounds sical and illogical and impractical . Almost all the dramas are based on this logic, either she gets married due to some so called "majburi" or family ijjat against her wishes. What message are we trying to convey here??

But yeah if you keep all logic aside and see it as just some timepass (though shows highly impact audiences) then yeah whatever is going.. let we also go with flow.


BP is super progressive but it's like progressive shows don't garner TRPs. First, the interreligious relation between AdiYa, then the topic of love after a failed marriage is also shown (which always fails to garner TRPs).

I remember this show Badtameez Dil was about a divorced couple eventually falling back in love and realizing why their marriage didn't work the first time around due to their egos, however it did AWFUL in TRPs.
But shows like Punar Vivah which was about second marriages as well thrived because of the saas bahu drama, the arranged marriage and the meek female lead.

No matter how 'progressive' we want a show to be, it always falls prey to the TRP audience.
Also the thing with Zoya is, she's loud and clear about her decision to not marry Arshad but her parents are still hounding her with pressure to marry him. What else can the poor girl do?

actually it feels quite realistic. indian parents of a different generation just think getting settled will solve everything. they don't think like the modern generation and their needs were very different. for them, put two people together and if families get along together, fantastic. for them, all the other stuff will just naturally come together anyway... if a person is broken hearted, get them married. broken heart problem solved! if a person is alcoholic, get him married - responsibility will make him grow up!... thats not how reality works but that is how that generation believes...

and in the case of divorce/re-marriage, sometimes, the parents are trying to show off that their child is still good. so the need to marry them off again (whether or not they are ready) is about trying to protect their child's reputation...

in the promo for today's ep, we see zoya telling how she is not ready. so we see the clash between the two generations. it really is about a generation gap as expectations for marriage, individuality are so different and have changed...
