Ok I am going to be honest - I was little bit dissatisfied with the romance - I felt they could have brought more “emotional” scenes, they went from “fun” to “hot” too soon.
but otherwise acting was superb
And storyline had many many holes but supremely entertaining
Mazaa aaya 🥳
That's true actually. Between episode 4 and 5, things became too serious. I too wish they'd slowed it down a bit..
But if you notice, neither has told the other they love them or anything. It's totally implied but still.
Also, idk if Asad meant it or he was acting or whatever. I analysed Zoya's reaction to him so that sort of reduced my dissatisfaction. Maybe you'll get a new perspective:
1. Zoya has grown up as a rich, pampered girl who loves her family. She's a little spoilt but in a good way - not the arrogant kind but the kind that gets a lot of things she wants so wants to strive for it.
2. So she feels entitled to a lot of help that Asad does to her. She is grateful but also expects it.
3. And, her profession here is TOTALLY apt for the character. She's a romance writer who believes in it. Which is why she feels annoyed by Goldie's funny proposal. And she totally wants someone romantic and intense for herself. The fact that she took inspiration from Asad for her next story (that Najma read) shows she takes her craft seriously. And she goes and does the lock shit for the true love thing.
4. And she believes in this sort of romance - like so completely her sense of reasoning is a little put off by it. The Phuphi was being unreasonable about colour. Definitely. But she was practical that you can't trust everybody. And she totally, absolutely trusted Asad coz he'd saved her life like a hero.
5. Ideally, anyone would totally have lots of gratitude. But along with gratitude, she starts feeling a sense of belongingness with AAK and she associates all his strength and willingness to help her as the tall, dark, hero who saves a damsel in distress (type-ish not fully). She's sort of living her writing fancies with him and that makes the whole whirlwind romance more adventurous.
6. I think her idea of romance sort of makes reality fuzzy for her. At some level, the reality of Asad saving her (which is great but at the end of the day, it helps. You can't marry someone out of gratitude), sort of gets blurred with the romantic notion she's got of strong, powerful men saving the heroines and winning their hearts. So I think at the moment, she's more in love with the IDEA of her romance with Asad than Asad himself.
7. And, she's SO floored by his romantic proposal, this is also sort of an indication of her inner romantic. See, I might call it foolishness but she's an out and out romance writer. So it's justified for her to feel that way. Plus she's probably been sheltered from harsher life truths about betrayal and selfishness etc. Didn't she kind of give you Geet vibes in the flight when she's drunk? XD
8. Also, she fights with her Phuphi for Asad coz she's taken in by him and she can't stand and listen to reason. See, the Phuphi also didn't properly convey her message. She brought in the nationality and distracted the conversation. The right thing would have been to ask Zoya to wait before deciding. And the rebel Zoya is, she couldn't stand the rejection of her the decision she HADN'T even taken (I totally get this. Even if I don't plan to do something but the other person totally rejects it even before I have decided, I'd go ahead and do it anyway), I think her decision got accelerated. So she immediately rushes to him and says yes. You can see it in how she kisses him too ☺️ (I probably watched it too many times to notice this but yeah). She takes over then coz she's cementing her spur of the moment decision motivated by her attraction to him and the belief in her idea of their romance. It's the decision of a pampered, romantic girl who believes romance is good and pure etc.
Idk if you got anything, but I loved how they have portrayed her character and over analysed it here. XD
