Some thoughts about Asad and Zoya in Qubool hai 2.0

I have some thoughts about Qubool Hai 2.0…

I initially watched it once and loved it so much, so much nostalgia hit. I was witnessing Asad and Zoya once again, it was beautifully overwhelming. Enjoyed it so much and cannot wait for more.

Asad and Zoya’s chemistry was off the charts, Karan and Surbhi do a wonderful job performing Asad and Zoya but we have to remember the yare different and the same in different capacities to the OG Qubool Hai. That is why some of us may have though Oh that’s different, that’s the same, the whole situation and environment is different.

Before the show started I thought maybe both are agents, or maybe Zoya is however in this scenario its Asad and he’s been sent on a mission.

When I watched the show again, I realised the complications, the angst and endless possibilities of where the story will head. Qubool Hai fandom is not unknown to angst however this time I feel like it will be different ahead (hopefully, complications and love will go side by side) but we get 10episodes so hopefully things do not drag. But that’s for later.

Let’s talk about Zoya, first . She did not want to get married and has been asked by her father to come and visit. So that’s her motive to run away from the wedding. Sana being aware of this prompts this which leads to Zoya initiating the act of running. She is being used and tracked by Sana and Damini to get to the codes. Enter Asad , he very well knows he’s on a mission (which we find out after the first half of the season , my sister was not too happy about this she was like what’s real and what’s fake then?) That’s exactly the point Asad knew of the mission, and him having to be with Zoya however he didn’t actually know Zoya. They’ve been put into circumstances where he’s had to protect her andto some extent along the way in the different situations , I have a feeling the lines have been blurred. The lines have been blurred and that’s why it gets messy and complicated.

In this Zoya has been used , and I don’t think Asad thought about this and if he did then he has played with her emotions and that will probably playout in season 3. It is possible Asad has proposed for marriage because that way the codes can be successfully taken to India. But that could have been done without proposing and even he did say that to distract everyone it could have been avoided (that’s why this confuses me slightly and I’m like Asad , do you really want to marry her or is it related to the codes, does he want both the codes and Zoya even though he needs to tell her the truth. Too many questions).

Anyways I think regardless of the situation, Asad and Zoya have become infatuated with each and have developed an attraction. Asad probably has become protective over her and Zoya is still in the bubble that Asad has been her saviour without knowing the different agendas surrounding her. Once this bubble is lifted and the truth is revealed there will probably a shift in her emotions. They both are surrounded in an unusual circumstance, and thus that’s how their feelings have played out. Hence kiss 1 and kiss 2.

However realistically I think things played out too quickly, therefore once there will be uncovering of the truth there will be steps taken back. It will be time for angst , reflection and maybe development. But the truth first please. I think Asad does want to marry Zoya , because he gave her Dilshad’s ring but we will have to wait to see till the next season as to what his real intentions were.

What was his truth and what wasn’t? Where were the lines blurred? What else is at play...?

As for Zoya I think she likes the idea of love, she may not be in love but acknowledges her attraction towards Asad. Kiss 2 was explosive. AlsoI believe she said yes to the proposal because along the way she has developed feelings, and she probably does see the care he has towards her and sometimes that is enough and you build on that. Zoya probably wants to build on that. He listens to her,he banters with her, they’ve developed a connection. The situation is messy but a bond does exist for sure. However, I think going forward she will still have feelings for him but will take two steps back. The bond may develop more , who knows, deepening the feelings even more. Asad better be clear in his thoughts.

We will have to wait and see…

Another observation I made was killing Zoya’s father was part of the plan and Asad knew this. But he didn’t kill him , it was the undercover agent/doctor (who cleaned Asad’s wound in the airport) who poisoned him. Zoya’s father had consumed the water when he entered the room, hence getting poisoned but Asad also added something (powder) to the water before giving him the glass of water. What was that? Was that also poison? Was that an antidote which I would like to believe? Or was it poison by Asad and that’s why the glass of water fell? My head keeps going back to that. It’s a complicated situation especially if real feeling are involved, his thought did go back to Zoya when he was talking to Damini so he is thinking about her. But to what extent?

Anyways these were some of the thoughts I had , and I do have some conspiracy theories ahead but they probably will not be correct because my previous assumptions were not correct all.I just hope things are deal with more sensitively going ahead. The situation was this season, going ahead I want them to acknowledge that within this mission and out of it there’s feelings and the characters lives are involved. So where does that leave everyone?

Personally I was happy seeing Asad and Zoya , Tamatar and Dilshad my OG’s. The show was aesthetically beautiful. Also both Asad and Zoya are gorgeous, I would also be attracted to them if I was either one of them . Next season I’m expecting the truth, the angst but I would love to see Zoya’s interactions with Dilshad and Najma, they were all heart. Oh and also more about Zoya Farouqui being an absolute badass, Zoya with a gun was wow. More on Angel Simmons too. Oh, I could go on forever.

Asad and Zoya, welcome back. I missed you!

Sorry if this was all over the place, I just had a lot of thoughts running in my head. I used to be a big fan of OG Qubool hai.

Will reply in detail!

Loved your thoughts and yes storyline did have loopholes in them and kept me wondering too, especially the part when damini asks him are in the mission still khan he was hesitant and kept on thinking about zoya.i felt he was in two states of mind between mission and zoya.he still in a confused state on whether he loves zoya or not which i feel he has major attractions on zoya but doesnt love her yet.maybe nxt season like some members here said said we have a belgradepur to have asad realising his love for zoya 🤣so now we will have wait to see the truth nxt season

Now i just have a feeling damini must be double crossing him because in a scene she gets a call from her head department and she says im working on it.(i know she said national security but it could be something else too)so now im thinking could it be that head has something to do with asad,somekind of personal vengeance.just a thought.i may be wrong

Khan family was always a joy to watch.i love dillu and zoyas convos in first season,najma and zoya too.i hope nxt season we get to see a khan family reunion and also that dialogue ammi woh bechari nahi hai🤣 i miss that🤣🤣

Wonderful post! I agree with you on most of these points.

I loved the first half of the series. It was 90% close to the OG Qubool Hai. Asad and Zoya carried the same chemistry and same character essence both together and individually. Its a no brainer that I didn't take any time to fall in love with them.

Now coming to the second half. I wish things would have been a lot different. The most important, I wish Asad wasn't assigned the Zoya part of the mission because like you said it makes one wonder if Asad's emotions and proposal are true. Maybe it would have been more interesting if Asad was assigned the task of getting the code from General Farooqui, happened to meet and fall in love with Zoya and then found she was General's daughter. Cliches yes, but still something I would have prefered. Second, they shouldn't have revealed that Asad is actually an agent in the trailer. It would have been a good twist but now we were just waiting for the reveal. Few things happened too quick, didn't look very convincing.

I wasn't too convinced of Zoya's love either. It was very clear that she was attracted to him but did she really love him?

But all said and done, it was a good watch. I felt like the 16 year old again who was so crazy of Asad and Zoya, smiling like an idiot everytime they came on screen together.
