Jale Par Namak'.Epi Feb 26
Finally, the day we have all been waiting for is here. Zoya expressed her fears and her story to Mr. Khan. The man, who she knows she can rely on. The man, who is her strength, when she is most vulnerable. The man, who has become her only friend in India. We were lucky to get a great AsYalacious episode. Asad started off really well. He listened to her shayari, gave thought to her mini-sermon (about overcoming sadness with smiles), observed her strange behavior, showed concern about her nightmare, made milky coffee for her, asked her to share her problems. Wow! That was a sixer in the world of friendship Mr. Khan!
Then came the avalanche, Asad had never expected nor was prepared for. Zoya opened out her heart for the first time. One could see the guilt and remorse in his expressions when he realized how ruthless and insensitive he had been towards her. He recalled the moments when he had shred the important piece of information about her Abbu in anger. He probably felt like a jerk #1. Zoya, who got carried away with her emotions, poured out all her feelings and fears, never once looking at him for his reaction. She trusted that if there is one person who could empathize with her, then it was Asad.
So, what does Mr. Akdu do then? Instead of giving her a shoulder to cry, he gets so overwhelmed by his own guilt, that he just walks away from her. He probably had no idea how to react to so many emotions, that too from a girl who he has always been judgmental about.
Zoya, who was already burning with her childhood memories and fears, felt slighted and humiliated when she saw he had just left without saying a word. If I were Zoya, I would feel the same way.
What does he do next morning? He pretends everything is still kosher. Still reeling from his own remorse, he erects barriers all around his heart and emotions- emotionally challenged or unavailable as Zoya would call him.
Loved the scene when he asked her to pass the salt. Perfect symbolism by CVS again- jale par namak chidkana tho koi Asad mian se seekhe.
Zoya, my queesn of expressions didn't hold back her anger. She unleashed out her disappointment and expressed her anger at being humiliated once again by the emotionally challenged, insensitive man.
What does he do? Instead of apologizing, he dismisses her behavior as 'childish'
Who needs to grow up here, Mr Khan? The one who is not afraid to open her heart out or the one who runs away from overflowing emotions?
Zoya has a big heart. In this short span in India, she has taken more in than expressed. The one time she has expressed, what does she get? A cold response from a man who doesn't know how to react to an emotional moment like this? Leave him alone, and he will cry his heart for you, but when confronted, will give you that 'why do I care' attitude.
Zoya, don't lose hope. You know Mr. Khan will come around. Give him time to process your 'dard.' He will probably surprise you by doing something totally unexpected because he really does care for you. He just doesn't know how to react to your sorrows. He feels like he has been a jerk and therefore is acting like one. But, let me assure you, he is not one'
