Trust and faith are often used as interchangeable words by all of us but there is a subtle difference.
Trust is based on history, on facts
Faith is based on hope, its usually unseen
For example, we all trust the doctor or police to take take care of health or law related issues but we all have faith in God. Trust can be broken easily but faith is hard to shake.
Today's episode reflected these two subtle emotions very effectively
AsYa: Asad has always had a hard time trusting Zoya. It's based on his impression of modern women, her history of lying (wig, cricket match etc). Even Zoya doesn't trust Asad's temper, his reactions - all based on her history with him (slap, angry words) but today she proved that she has tremendous faith in him. Their scene in his bedroom was very well portrayed. Loved Surbhi's acting today. She expressed that despite their differences and dislike for each other, she has tremendous faith in him, just like Najma and Ammi do. He finally acknowledged her silently.That silent exchange was very beautifully acted by both actors. Loving the way AsYa are progressing in their relationship. Soon they will have both trust and faith for each other.
Dilshaad: I know there is a lot of discussion regarding Dilshaad's recent change in attitude towards Rashid. I think this is a classic example of the trust vs faith conflict. Does Dilshaad trust Rashid? Probably not. How can she? He abandoned her for another family 17 years ago but she has faith in him. She knows that he would never try to kill her. That's why she is defending him. I don't think she is desperate to get back with him. Yes, she still loves him but I doubt she would ever want to break Shireen's home. Asad doesn't trust Rashid and Dilshaad has full faith in him- that's the reason for the conflict.
Razia-Siddiqui: I think in Siddiqui's case, he does trust Razia because of her history of manipulating situations to their benefit but today for the first time, I thought, he didn't have 100% faith in her abilities. Deep down, he knows that they are both wrong. A thief can never have faith is what he is doing. Only an honest person has 100% faith.
Ayaan: Ayaan is at crossroads right now. Should he trust Asad like he has always done? We all know he has faith in Asad and will always continue to have so but has Asad broken his trust for the first time in their lives? Let's see how the brothers overcome this hurdle.
