Let me just say that I loved the last episode and I do agree that the moment was absolutely beautiful. But here's the thing, Zoya has become a mute spectator in her own life now.
Yash cheated on Zoya, Aditya helped her cope. Then Aditya realised his love for her and tried to tell her. Waseem chose Arshad for her, again because she was mad at Aditya, she decided to marry Arshad(so dumb)... then now, IF Arshad is going to be the one to back out and be mahaan, I'm goING TO BE SO MAD!

Where is Zoya's role?! Where is Zoya choosing to not be married because she has a successful career?! If not that, where is Zoya taking her own decisions and not some weak broken abla naari? Where is Zoya actually giving it back to Waseek for constantly insulting Aditya even if she considers him a friend?! Who lets their parents talk to their friends like that?! Where is Zoya owning up to her love and actually standing up for it?!

Girl, I get it. You got cheated on and it was very hard for you, obviously. But now it's been a year. You've gotten to a place where you can be called an independent woman. There are scars, sure. But I want you to stand up and fight through those scars... not hide behind them and act like a freakin statue.

Zoya only cries and remains tongue tied these days... how am I supposed to admire or look up to a female protagnist like that?! I'm REALLY hoping that I can eat my words and Zoya stands up against the world for Aditya in the next episode.

Zoya... I NEED YOU TO TALK! PLEASE!

Fingers crossed, we finally see a stronger Zoya who can actually stnad up for what is right and the person she loves.

Zoya just whispers, "Abbu" like a chui mui... hopefully she'll say SOMETHING in the episode. Precaps can be misleading.

This is not me bashing, this is me hoping that we see a stronger side of her character.

When I read the title I knew I'm gonna enjoy reading LOL
Jokes apart, I agree akshita. The last week was surprisingly beautiful with some good content filled episodes. But... as you say, what came across undigestible for me was Zoya listening to what others say & not voicing out her opinion. Tbh this week Zoya hardly had 10-15 dialogues isn't it? Aditya should be thanked for saving Zoya from almost commiting suicide, stopping her from grieving over her loss by trying to leave everything & going back to Massourie, from facing the harsh truth in life tthat no matter how hard anyone tries, what's not meant to happen will never happen & what not??
Waseem choosing Arshad as a prospective groom for Zoya was solely because he wanted to get rid of Aditya & the Hooda family. If I say it's because he wanted the best for Zoya & make her life beautiful, that's sh**. A good father doesn't force his daughter to do something she doesn't want to do, after Zoya's refusal still he made her meet Arshad, made Zoya go out with that stranger guy during midnight. Had he thought what might happen to a girl in such a situation? It's just her luck that Arshad is a good human (yeah, dumb af but a nice guy 😆)




Where is Zoya's role?! Where is Zoya choosing to not be married because she has a successful career?! If not that, where is Zoya taking her own decisions and not some weak broken abla naari? Where is Zoya actually giving it back to Waseek for constantly insulting Aditya even if she considers him a friend?! Who lets their parents talk to their friends like that?! Where is Zoya owning up to her love and actually standing up for it?!




Zoya, who was anyway planning to back-off from the forced relationship after 2 weeks agreed to get married only due to the sudden confession of love by her 'AZEEZ DOST' Aditya. I felt quite pissed when she was talking about how Adi cheated on her? Excuse me, cheated? Yeah right! Geez she behaved so immature. The independent Zoya had now become a katputli in the correct manner by shaking her head to what others (elders) decide upon her, it's hell weird. Abla naari 🤪 I totally felt what you're saying. She's talking about how Aditya cheated on her being a best friend of hers but when it comes to her besties reputation, she's bl**** numb? Not even a word? She's coming across as a super weak woman, I'm sorry to say too She's says something else & she does nothing for her friend. She just let others speak ill against him.




Girl, I get it. You got cheated on and it was very hard for you, obviously. But now it's been a year. You've gotten to a place where you can be called an independent woman. There are scars, sure. But I want you to stand up and fight through those scars... not hide behind them and act like a freakin statue.




Ykw? What you've said here? It just reminded me of one thing & I've said it for another post too. The day Aditya & Zoya both bid good bye to Poosh & went back their ways, we saw Zoya acting so different, fresh & lively. Unlike the Zoya who was all gloomy, depressed, hopeless & scared. She became freaking independent, carried on with business, won an award but her mind was always pre-occupied with Aditya. Whatever he has doen for her, being supportive to her was what went on her mind & she didn't even realize that her feelings were not that of friendship solely. It was beautiful tbh. But frankly speaking, Aditya is the one who had really moved on.
I really don't think Yash needs to come in a dream or like how Pooja appreared before Adi & tell Zoya that Aditya is her true love, never ever leave him, I wasn't the correct partner for you blah blah.. She still has the scars, I agree. But getting married to someone who you just like for the sake of humanity & not love, even knowing yourself that you won't be able to love him is utter crap. She for gods sake even told Arshad that he can count on her for commitment, seriously?????




Zoya only cries and remains tongue tied these days... how am I supposed to admire or look up to a female protagnist like that?! I'm REALLY hoping that I can eat my words and Zoya stands up against the world for Aditya in the next episode.

Zoya... I NEED YOU TO TALK! PLEASE!




It's just that her character has always been like this. Quite immature & unknown from the reality of the world. But now it seems as if she has never changed! Just like how you say, her remaining tongue tied is a quality which makes me get irritated with her characterization. As a female protagonist, she had become strong but only to come back to the state where she was. Last night precap, where they showed Zoya looking devasted & hopeful towards Adi just proved my point that Zoya has ultimately become numb to her own feelings & will not speak for herself & for her love 😕 Ugh, Arshad being mahaan? Couldn't they make the one who has fallen in love speak for herself?? It just feels as if she'll sit there, get herself married to Arshad if Arshad himself won't stand up against the marriage. Isn't this quote lame? It really seems like Zoya is dumb 🥱




Fingers crossed, we finally see a stronger Zoya who can actually stnad up for what is right and the person she loves.

Just like the promos, this could be misleading but yeah keeping hopes for now is a 50% fine option LOL 😆

My replies in pink 😊
Neither do I wanna bash but Zoya being shown as a lead who doesn't choose what her heart wishes & what she wants in her life, just letting her mind choose everthing over what matters to her heart & not standing up for her friend are just minus points in her character. Zoya's role is innocent & sweet but her being like what I've mentioned about are irritating. Just that..

just because she has a successfull career doesnt mean she shouldnt marry..she decided to marry arshad not because she was angry with aditya..she was shocked by adityas confession..and her fear of falling in love made her want to run away frm aditya..best option..marry a man whom she doesnt love..
yes..she is a silent women..but never weak..that was clearly shown when she rushed to hosp without even convincing wasseem..she is being shown weak to accept her feelings..hopefully by next week..that ordeal of hers will end..
and about yash issue..its not the years that matter..not the success in ones career..zoya believed in yash with all her being..and her trust was broken so pathetically..she was about to kill herself because she hated herself for ever loving yash..for that women..no matter how much she feels for aditya..to name it as love will take great courage..the struggle she is facing is very hard..its not because she is weak as a women..or as a human..it could have been even aditya..but i guess..aditya was never too muvh in love with pooja in the first place..it was more abt friendhsip for him in that relationship..and he easily accepted that she cheated..whereas with all the evidence zoya still fought for yash believing him..
zoya will definitely speak to wasseem after arshad backsoff..once she accepts her love..she will have the courage she possess as a women to stand against the world if needed...like aditya once said..even she doesnt know how strong she is..

Trust me we all are mad at Zoya. But, for once give her a benefit of doubt till the next episode is aired.
Zoya herself is preceding towards the nikaah. Even if after that she doesn't say qubool hai and Arshad backs out trust me it won't make Arshad any Mahaan because she by not saying the two words Qubool Hai has rejected him and Abbu's choice. Sometimes long lectures are not required.

As far as defending Aditya is concerned he by in his Majnu Avtar has ruined that scope for himself and Zoya let Aditya hold her hand and come down with the guests shows her respect for him as a friend and that it doesn't matter who says what. Trust me I think the some dialogues are kept in store for Zoya to be said in the nikaah.

I'm sure Zoya will make the choice on the wedding day and defend it too. Telling everybody to back off and it's her life and her choice, nobody gets to dictate her. Zoya may not confess her love but she will propose marriage to Aditya and that's very clear.

In all this I'm feeling bad for Aditya, as he might have left when Zoya reaches the boiling point and miss all the tamasha. He might not know Zoya loves him too. He might marry Zoya because Wasim disowns her. A man like Aditya who has so graciously accepted defeat doesn't deserve to live with a woman who he thinks doesn't love him.

I agree...Zoya is just too confusing. This marriage is of her own choosing, so then why does she look at Adi like Adi is forcing her to the marriage mandap? AND SHE CRIES AND CRIES AND CRIES! Even Waseem has asked her several times if she is happy and she says yes. Yes, Waseem is a dick..but ultimately whatever is happening is by Zoya's consent. No one is forcing her to do anything! And I am so tired of reading theories as to why she is marrying this guy...I don't want to hear theories. I want to know FROM Zoya why she is going into this marriage. Is it for her dad? Is it because she is defying Adi? Or she feels it's to late to back out? What's going on with that woman? She will quietly sit and get married until Arshad backs off at which point shel agree she loves Adi? Adi deserves better than that. He will forever wonder if Zoya would have married Arshad if not for him backing off.
This character is beyond me. I don't like Zoya one bit, sorry to say. And I love Adi just as much.
