This was such an amazing but also terrifying episode!!Felt like i was watching a crime show...or something on another level...not a daily soap.
HOWEVER...I'm really angry that they showed asad leave with those people after seeing Zoya, 1)unconcious 2)among dirty men 3) among bunch of dirty men with guns 4) looked like they were digging...he could see that when he was leaving.
Asad knew the kind of men they were...they could have raped her, shot her...whatever else god knows but he KNEW they would kill her - yet still he kept walking 😡
On top of that he went into the goddamn car! I was disgusted. 😡
At first i thought he was only walking because he was pretending to go with the men and was looking for a chance to break free...but NO.
Why the hell did it take asad to find out that mariam was raped in order to go back and save Zoya???
If Mariam hadn't been raped or he hadn't found out, would Asad have left Zoya to be buried alive!!??
I really need some answers from the makers because just for the sake of creating drama they (and other shows) pass the limits of sense and decency.
They could have shown Asad struggling to go back to Zoya and save her...and then after hearing about Mariyam's rape getting even more aggressive about escaping and saving Zoya.
This was really wrongly portrayed by cvs. Very wrong.

I like people's responses.It's nice to hear different viewpoints.
I understand that a lot of you have said it probably took him some time to realise what was happening and then process it...then formulate a practical plan to save Zoya as like you say he can't run with her when she is unconcious. Good point.
Nor do I think it would have been realistic to show him fight all the goons who have guns.
But ... there is a subtelty of reaction that was missing...they could have shown him looking horrified and confused and shown a bit of a struggle...struggle.. i say...not FIGHT. Then perhaps his uncle would have slapped him..dragged him away...i don't know.
And nor do I feel disappointed by his behaviour because I think he is the hero and should save the heroine no matter what. that didn't cross my mind.
I think what upset me was as a show promoting modernism and struggle against traditional culture etc
I felt Asad didn't need to be in love to save a girl. It doesn't matter that she annoyed him and put him in trouble, she doesn't deserve death for it, he should do it for the sake of humanity. (Although they have already shared some emotional moments so there is a connection there anyway).
Even if she was a stranger whether Asad is a guy or girl I'd expect them to show some feeling and try and rescue the victim...especially when the victim is going to be buried alive.
Personally I don't think the time lapse they showed was anything to do with Asad's character and how he behaves - I think it was to create drama...increase tension..a conscious decision by CVs... but it didn't sit well with me
