So true what you say about the power dynamic between Ayet. And that rich man's daughter thing that Ayesha said, was so moving. In fact, I feel it was also because of her experience at the wedding. I think Ayesha at the wedding must have been noting the difference in the way the bride was interacting with everyone, the way Fahad, his mom and his friends were behaving with the bride and the ambience at her own wedding. She must have deeply felt that difference her status had made in the way this upper-class society had received her and the way it was receiving this bride who I assume is one of their own. This realisation must have made her even more aware of the difference that lay between Basit and her and how Basit's behaviour might have been different had she too had a rich dad.
You are soo right about Basit's flirtatious manner at the wedding with Soha. I think this is the first time we have seen him so openly show his attraction to her. It could have been a way for him to try and make the whole conflict/crisis that lay between them go away. After all, it must be his dearest wish to have the whole problem just disappear by itself without him having to do anything. And he keeps saying this. Like every time Ayesha opens her mouth and actually says something, this illusion that he is building in his head collapses. So he says at one moment it feels like there is nothing wrong in our relationship and the very next moment it seems as if your complaints will never end. And what was this statement? Is he kidding her or himself when he accuses her of complaining needlessly? This is a crisis that could quite possibly end their marriage. Partly his behaviour might have been because Basit wanted to put up this front before everyone there that things were absolutely fine between him and his wife. But also that moment when he said could we not just go home together? So nonchalantly asked but it seemed as if it was really him trying to put up a brave front even as he could feel things slipping out of his grasp. When she says, you can't come to my house to take me home. You can only grab my hand and throw me out of your house, why did he grab her hand that way? Was he trying to tell her or tell himself that I can hold her hand? That she is my wife. But when Ayesha tells him that she needs to be treated with more respect, I think for the first time it crashes down on his head that he had always acted high-handedly with her. When Soha speaks to him, he can barely comprehend what she is saying because Ayesha's words have come as a total shock for him. He had till then thought this thing would solve itself by Ayesha returning to him on her own. He had never really considered the fact that she too could be hurt emotionally. But now suddenly he realises that Ayesha needs to be treated better by him.
This thought preys upon him. He comes to her house precisely because of this. There he sees a little more of the extent of Ayesha's insecurity. Later when he talks to Soha, he says something that Qudsia had never said, which is that her mother thinks I am not taking good enough care of Ayesha. Is it because he is considering his own behaviour towards Ayesha?
Twerps! Very very beautifully analysed 🤗
I was speaking to my friend today and told her the exact same thing about how the wedding must’ve flamed Ayesha’s insecurities. She would have inadvertently compared her own wedding, the behaviour of Basit, even his mother. (who initially showed a modicum of coldness towards Ayesha) his friends, and everyone from his circle to that of Fahad’s wedding. The fact that Fahad also had an arranged marriage but how different was this compared to her own must have hurt her more. Even Basit went the extra mile to make the bride and groom feel special by being all smiles, clicking selfies. He was understandably stiff and standoffish at his own wedding.
You are so right about Basit hoping that the crisis would be averted on its own and therefore acting nonchalant at the wedding for the same reason. I think it was only towards the end when Ayesha was leaving and he suggested about going home together when she replied that she deserves to be taken back with respect, did it dawn on him that he needs to take some action in order to set things right.
I think when Basit held Ayesha’s hand, he was making a gesture that he can and will hold her hand in front of everyone to keep her next to him and then take her to rightful place which is their home. That handhold seemed so intimate. ☺️ I think in that moment he just wanted to take her home, that is how smitten he looked. However, Soha ruined the entire sequence. Not only this time but I feel every time Soha starts a conversation with Basit, he seems lost in thoughts of Ayesha and their relationship. It’s like Soha can’t take a hint that the man is taken and not interested.
Astute observation with glitches in editing. Qudsia never said that Basit doesn’t take good care of Ayesha. Also if you observe Basit was worried about what Qudsia told Ayesha regarding their talk. He seemed regretful that he mentioned the word divorce to her mother. He’s angry that Qudsia sabotaged his chances with Ayesha. He may just develop a lifelong enmity with her (abhi toh he doesn’t know about Qudsia’s plans to get Ayesha remarried to Yawar). 😂
However, you are right Qudsia never did say that Basit doesn’t take good care of Ayesha, that was all Basit. I think the reason Basit said this was because deep down he has some guilt that he’s in fact never taken proper care of Ayesha which is one of the reasons that she’s unwilling to return. What do you think about this? Do you reckon Basit will start taking proper care of Ayesha now as his wife? Where do you think he will start?
