I know passions are running high in this thread but I just want to put my bit forth and declare that I am not that angry at Ayesha truth be told. In fact, I am not angry at either Ayesha or Basit. 1)They got married with barely any knowledge of each other. The very fact that they are still relative strangers allowed for this present crisis to enter their lives. Had they become more attached to each other, more in love, then this current doubt and suspicion, lies and subterfuge, would have been an insult to whatever love they had shown each other.
2)And Basit would have doubted Ayesha at some point.
3)Ayesha's refusal to tell him about Zoya too is valid from her point of view. It is easy to say that she should have told him, but this lie came from something that the Sadiq family had developed over the years. A family of only women would have had to be extra careful about their reputation. What Bano says at the end to Qudsia about her extreme worry over log kya kahenge, comes from pent-up frustration over this sword that has been hanging over their heads since the death of their father.
4)And Fahad...well, he is justified from his point of view. He was never Basit's sidekick. Neither is he some saintly figure.
5)Zoya is continuing the way she has always been. But I think she will realise the loss of her family's support soon. To make the son choose between parents and wife is never a good place to be. But hopefully, she will manage to have her way like she always has and make a place for herself in her new home.

Hey twerps.. yaar it's always good to hv other side of perspective too.. so that we can understand other side of story too ... but honestly cause of poor writing, forced misunderstanding and ayesha's foolishness, I am just unable to understand ayesha's side...
To make post easier for me to reply, I hv taken the liberty to highlight points I want to say something, deleting rest of reply 😳
1) love or no love they are very much a married couple... and I won't be wrong when I say this relationship is most sensitive and strongest at the same time.. one has to do lots of efforts to make this work.. i guess trust is the first and strongest piller in it.. for any relationship for that matter, not just couples ... an arranged couple can make their marriage work without love but they can never make it work without trust... I still tried to understand ayesha's majboori but when basit clearly told her he caught her lies nd he hates that.
I don't know what made her not to tell him everything.
2) this is my bigger problem... if basit doubted her without any reason, we could hv discussed how it's his past taking a toll on him.
But here the girl is blatantly lying ... his friend is lying too nd meeting his wife behind his back..
How can he suppose to take it all as normal?
What was ayesha expecting that basit will say, oh I just adore you for keeping secrets from me and confiding in my friend
That's why I am blaming the writing here... is there any head and tail of this foolishness...
3) the societal pressure made more sense if the person involved behaved according to one who is actually worried about society ... but when the person behaved exactly opposite of that then you can't even consider it a justification...
Coz the society pressure we are talking here, it is even worse when you hide things from your husbsnd, when your husband's best friend comes to meet you in his absence... you think same society will leave you for such actions.. or the person who is constant under pressure of society will even dare to do something like this ?
Ayesha was against zoya meeting her male friend.
Same ayesha didn't find it wrong to hide things from husband and confide in other man.
So here things hv been taken as per convenience.. that's what I feel ..
4) just because he is not some sidekick, doesn't give him the right to hide things from your friend and then call him mentally sick over his reaction/accusation..
I am more disappointed in fahad coz he has seen basit's every insecurity, his struggle with anxiety and still he thought basit will not think anything wrong about them..
The saying "ek to chori, uper se sinazori" aptly suits ayesha and fahad for their reaction to basit's accusations... the damage was done, least they could do was to say truth now.. don't meet nd plan to tell truth, making things more worse..
5) absolutely agree with what you said for zoya..
Specially she needs to tone down coz she hasn't done anything to be proud of.. her family is suffering coz of her and the ppl she is misbehaving with, she is staying in their house and her husband does nothing .. he is a vella aadmi ...
And the way his dad is always taunting him about it, time is not far when he'll tell him to work, earn and uthao his wife's nakhras...
