Hey guys,
Just a bit of a rant session after watching today's episode..

Don't know why but today's episode just about managed to tick me off in all the wrong ways...

It was like a whole bunch of negative vibes... I'm not criticising the acting but rather I'm just too upset the direction in which the story is going...

It's like no matter what, Zara is the villian and she needs to be punished either by give her a talaq, or throw her out or conspire against her or better yet accuse her of something hideous.

Especially the scene where Shahbaz purposely calls his son to dine with them while at the same time declares the daughter in law will be sent to her room. (Too much of an outcast and a prisoner feel)

Kabir - I honestly don't know what can be done to make him realise he needs to grow a backbone and actually not support his father's wrongs!

What are your views? Would love to know!

P.S. : I don't intend to offend anybody but just wanted to share my view. Accept my apologies if anyone is offended

This is the first time I have visited this forum and I just had to reply to your post. It's so on point!

I don't know how Kabeer always does something to tick me off. I could never really forgive him for the way he divorced Zara but just as I had moved on from that, here comes the threat of a second talaq. And today established just why despite him being such a nice man otherwise I can never root for him.

She did what he asked, she gave up something so very dear to her - the Sharia Board membership - and he STILL wasn't satisfied. Basically, Zara should do everything he says nahi toh divorce. How convenient, especially after she literally bore her soul to him about how she feels for the talaq situation.

I am happy Zara chose her identity over a marriage which wants to take HER away from her. I get why she loves Kabeer so much but every person has things they can't (and shouldn't) give up and compromise on. He also has his and he made that very clear by divorcing her at the first sign of a disagreement. This man does nothing to fight for their marriage so why should Zara choose him? Kabeer had no right to ask her to make that choice, not when he first divorced her and not today.

Having said that, I don't think he lacks a spine when it comes to standing up against his father. It's just that Shahbaz has been very smart about pushing his buttons and cornering him off late. The only time I feel bad for the character is in such scenes. No one deserves such a pathetic excuse for a father!

Yes so right. Kabir keeps on pushing Zara literally blackmailing her with divorce. He simply feels jealous and insecure of her views an d stands.
The shift in his character seems to be done to justify Zara's effort for stopping exploitation of Muslim women and granting of their rights under Islam. In order to create sympathy for Zara since her equality views would be unpopular and invite wrath by a larger group hence Zara is being made completely submissive to Kabir when it comes to their marriage. Zara is ready to please Kabir and serve him as she seems to be scared of divorce by Kabir. Guess there will be 2nd talaq and after that Zara will change to become less submissive and later on Kabir will realise his folly. What I don't get is why is Kabir shown to be easily influenced by everyone be it Shahbaz, Miraj, Hashmi, Niloufer and more.

Hey there I'm new to this forum too :)

I started watching it from the time when she was unknowingly walking on the railway tracks and Kabir then gets sick.

But I did watch few of the earlier episodes here and there.

But for me the fact that even after he gave her the first talaq, asked her to come and stay with him and give him a chance to fulfill the responsibilities she accused him of not fulfilling really irritated me.

I mean just because he wants to have a clean slate in front of God's eyes by fulfilling all his farz doesn't really compensate for the wrongs he has done!

Zara even after having gone through all the shit still has it in her at the end of the day to be polite and loving while he goes off roaring and insulting.

I absolutely detested his behaviour.

And what sort of a person is he that he's still not made up his mind? After almost 30 days he still can't be stuck in middle. He must be atleast leaning towards one side - either talaq or not!

It's like he'll see the situation on the 30th day and if he is in good mood he may cancel the decision of giving talaq.

True and I don't think Zara should have tried justifying her stance of having chosen her morals and belief over Kabir because both are different and completely unrelated.

And if he gives her divorce then what will she be left with?

He's already taken away her future at the Sharia Board.

Shahbaz is like a whole new person who can be ranted off on another post but yes in short he's sick and pathetic.

I don't know how did he get such a sweet wife!

And that Khalid if he was resigning due to his ill health and handing over to Miraj - why does he still attend every session - yes Miraj is not on board but he doesn't need to be there does he?

In one of his interview relating to an upcoming segment where he takes care of Zara and they have some fun moments he actually tells us (as Kabir) that he wants to show the world what he feels for Zara and that he is fulfilling his responsibilities but what about the aspect of love, affection and respect towards each other?

I honestly don't feel like watching as all that's happening is injustice and now with the accusation of murder it's only going to get more Anti Zara.

And Shahbaz and Hashmi will conspire in some way to ensure that Zara is permanently out of the picture along with her father for them to get the position of Sheher Qazi!

Knowing the trend of these daily soaps I don't think that even after 2nd talaq will Kabir realise his mistakes. Zara may try her hardest but somehow she'll still be targeted.

He is influenced by everyone except his wife!

Kashan's secret is yet to be revealed as to what's the connection between him and Miraj.

And Miraj for once and for all needs to be eliminated too just like his brother.

Then probably see where is Rukhsar as Zeenat too wasn't able to contact her and neither could Nilofar meet her.

Plus don't understand from where and by which right is Zeenat accusing Zara?

I mean she never really cared for Nilofar so why so much hype and drama and care when it comes to accusing Zara? Of Nilofar's death?

If they don't really start solving some of Zara's problems I'm planning on stopping watching altogether.

I agree. I was vexed by the Ahmed men since the episode of 21st August. Especially the way Kabeer asked Zara to resign from the Sharia Board. Had his reasons been valid or justifiable, I would have understood. But he asked her to give up something dear to her because he was swayed (read: Brainwashed) by his father. "Men should control their wives." ARE YOU FOR REAL?! FFS!
The episode of 22nd was to balm to my agitated mind either. First of all, in my humble opinion, Zara did nothing wrong. She did not bring any kind of shame or bad name to the family. It was solely the media that did that, which by the way is the media's job. And honestly, if the Ahmed family is that easily influenced by bad media light then I'll pray the All Mighty grant you better senses.

And then to have the audacity to deny her from having dinner with the family?! Excuse you, but she is family. How dare Shahbaz call her 'Bahu' and not give her her rights? She is a bahu not a puppet!

So done with Shahbaz!

At this point in the show, Miraj is a much better person. Because at least we know where he stands. He is honest about himself. He is evil and he shows it, unlike Shahbaz, who only claims to be honorable.

I really want Qazi Irfaan to take Zara away from Ahmed House.

Agree!

I honestly don't understand what's wrong with the media too? Agree with what you said - it's their job to do so - But then I'm sure there are 1000 other articles floating but they're ever ready to go and create a ruckus outside the Ahmed house only?

It's like media knows how much the Ahmeds care for their opinion hence turn up.

Media should have turned up when she was refused to sit with the family for dinner.

"Next morning headlines - Sharia Board member Zara Kabir Ahmed denied dinner with family by Shahbaz"

Wonder what Shahbaz would think of this

But what's more hilarious is the fact that how much Shahbaz and Kabir care about what people think!

They refuse to think how much it'll hurt their own family but rather go and worship the media.

But this Miraj track seriously needs to end - I mean it's like literally in a battle the opposition has all their ammunition, military and everything else prepared while on this it's so far only 2-3 people.

It's like no matter what there's never going to be any good and no matter how hard you try justice will never be delivered.

Now somewhere I'm really praying that second talaq does happen because Kabir is just not realising what he has.

I'm sure that probably even after the talaq he may never realise what he lost but atleast Zara will be free from the clutches.

@Chillchick: The first talaq would infuriate you even more if you see the show before that. They went through so much together in those few months, you really wouldn't believe the relationship was so weak that Kabeer had to divorce her. And in his head, he had ENDED it there because he didn't remember that instant talaq was explicitly banned from their nikkah nama.
And you're so on point about the second talaq as well! Zara is so unsettled and restless with not knowing, it really upsets me. Kabeer and his whims, uff! Zara is a strong girl but she needs a break, quite literally. I know this is a TV show so she will find her way back to Kabeer but I need her to get away from him for a while!

Shahbaz and Khalid are a waste of my time honestly. I prefer watching Miraj over them.

The first thing I did was read the plot as my maasi was the one who got me into this. I wasn't so sure as I had already experienced with another serial Qubool Hai - another Zee TV muslim background - started out beautifully and promising but ended up showing bullshit like a person suddenly transforms into a rat and what not... I stopped long back before they started this nonsense but I was wary of watching another hindi daily soap.

When I read the part where he had given her talaq it infuriated me to no end!

I cant believe after all that they had gone through he could so easily give her a divorce just by being influenced.

He had no trust and no confidence in her. And I hope they rehash this as he needs to know how he messed up.

And spoilt her life.

I don't mind Zara getting back with Kabir as I want to watch because of them and their romance but only if Kabir ever learns from his mistakes and rectifies them
