Grrr!
Asad is such a spoilsport and so bedard! Ek akeli, jawaan,khoobsoorat , New York ki citizenship waali ladki ko uss gaaon mein akelaa chhodke Miyaa khud Nikaah mein daawat khaane ja rahe the?đĄđ...Is Asad for real or is he over-confident on Zoe's brains? How did he expect her to find her way back to Bhopal? Wo bhi akal se aisi paidal ladkee jo tractor mein Asad ko wholesale market mein sell karke so rahi thi?đ¤Ł...
And Zoe toh bas Zoe hai! Na jaan na pehchaan, Begum saahiba pahonch gayi Nikaah mein guest banke. Asad was so embarrassed and conscious because he didn't know what to say who his 'gori mem' was? On top of that the whole family checking out Zoe and her Western get up. Asad was more than desperate to pack Zoe back to Bhopal.
But, how can Zoe go back without destiny writing another chapter for Asad and her. As messengers of fate, Mallika and Mehnaz ( cousins of Asad) stop Zoe and tell her that she can be a part of the wedding and her Jahaanpanah Six Packs will not even know,So, here goes Zoe madam in the mouth of death that is waiting just around the corner. Zoe sees a saviour and security cover in Asad and you saw it when she tagged along like a child with him , not even wanting to try and find her way back to Bhopal. She trusts Asad with her life.
What i liked towards the end is how a woman's lack of choice and individuality was highlighted through Zoe and Maryam. It was hard for Zoe to believe that Maryam didn't even know the man she was going to marry. Its like, we live in two worlds on the same planet - the archaic and the liberal one.
Razia seems like a desperate mother at this point , who is even willing to stake Humaira's honour as a woman in order to marry her off to Ayaan. Justified? NO. Understandable.Yes and NO.
P.S- Its darkly funny that how Zoe keeps joking that Asad will bury her alive someday.And in the latest promo, we see that she is indeed being buried alive in front of her Jahanpanaah and at least at that point of time, there is nothing he can do.
