If you guys are thinking that I am obsessed with the sibling bonds in this show, you're jolly well right! If Asad-Nikhat tugged my heart on Thursday, Asad-Ayaan brought a lump in my throat today. I see people rightly wondering about how these half-siblings are so close when their families have nothing to do with each other, yet when I see their close-knit relationship, I forget all the 'why's and 'how's as I am simply left awestruck by how much they can love each other and how they crave to be with each other. I admire and have admired a lot of sibling relationships in various shows but this is one of those rare times when their bonds have actually become THE SHOW for me (the only other being Stefan-Damon in The Vampire Diaries which I sadly don't follow any longer).
We were all disappointed that Ayaan didn't speak up on Friday but he more than made up for it today. I LOVED him today when he lashed out to Mamujaan and bashed Rashid left, right and centre. I could feel how his patience and endurance has snapped. And a detail not to be missed is that his outburst is because Mamujaan had threatened to destroy his brother, the person who was there for him when no one else was, the person who saved him before anyone else could even figure out that he is in trouble. I don't advocate talking to elders the way he did but truth is, he can never respect his parents and others the way he looks up to and idolises his brother because they never made him feel loved and wanted. He was always treated as this irresponsible, spoilt brat who is good-for-nothing. Asad adds meaning to his life (Rishab Sinha might not be the best actor around but today his performance was very heartfelt, his best yet).
And Asad isn't far behind, is he? He's probably never ever argued his Ammi so openly but his life depends on his siblings. If his heart is torn out of his chest, we can't expect him not to react. He loves and respects Dilshad a hell lot but he is literally being asked to stop breathing, how can he be okay with that? (On a side-note, Mamujaan has touched Dilshad's raw nerve. If she wasn't already earlier, she will now definitely oppose Asad's soft corner for his half-siblings).
The last intersection of scenes was hitting as Dilshad and Shirin ask their respective sons to choose one out of them or each other. How will they ever get out of this?😳
P.S. If these two agree to their parents, it can also be for Nikhat's sake. They can't care less for what anyone says about them but if I have deciphered them correctly, they will never do anything at the cost of their sister.
