Precap is heart breaking guys. Coming to the episode. The problem is Arshad is trying to impress Zoya, while Adi is trying to impress Wasim. There is no point in trying to impress Wasim or Zoya. As Zoya clearly felt sad and offended when Wasim told Adi's gift should go to NGO. She didnt had any problem when Adi took Arshad gift and gave it to Noor. She was happy to keep Adi gift and in the precap she is really uncomfortable.
The only time Adi was himself was when he was in kitchen with Roshna. The way he spoke to her and told he wanted her reflection. One thing is that Adi and Roshna have formed a bond. Both Anjana and Sakshi calls Aditya Adi, but Roshna calls him beta. It is not that she doesnt like him around, she is afraid what if Wasim sees. Somewhere a fondness have crept in her mind for Adi. Maybe a mother's craving for a son. Afterall she only had daughters. Yash could never be a son and Arshad is formal. But Adi has that inner child that makes a motherly figure want to pamper him.
But Wasim doesnt want to see the goodness in Adi at all. Adi who has no interest in poetry studied poetry to impress Wasim. But due to tension, due to the need to prove himself he is faltering at the task he knows. Adi knows cooking, but Wasim's supervision, his piercing double edged words is really affecting him. In a way Wasim is indirectly boosting Arshad confidence and breaking Adi confidence. The sad part is in front of guests Zoya cannot go against her father, neither can any other woman of siddique family. Wasim is using that authority, that advantage completely.
Coming to Arshad, if Adi praised Roshna, Arshad completely negated Roshna and praised Zoya. We could clearly see she was uncomfortable with his closeness. But the interesting point was Noor. Arshad was in Zoya's room which was also Noor's. Arshad found the missing phone of Noor. Adi also gave Arshad gift in the hand of Noor and gave his gift to Zoya. For me the sign look omnious. Is Arnoor love story going to be the collateral damage of Adiya love story. Also Noor read Arshad perfectly. That he will use information to manipulate in a competition. He is not as perfect as he shows himself and he has human flaws. Arshad called Noor his saali today and told it is difficult to patafoy her and they were alone in that room. Surely something is gonna happen. Some big drama is in store for us.
One thing is sure neither Arshad can impress Zoya, nor Adi can melt Wasim the way they are playing. Something has to change for things to move forward.
PS: What was the news reader saying. Communal riots have erupted. If that is the case then that will be destiny's way of ensuring Aditya win this round.
