OK, so i mentioned this in a couple of threads but i was extremely curious to know the perspective of others, so thought it fit to create a new topic..Why are so many members livid at Asad? I understood the outrage when Asad slapped Zoya and taunted her about her mom..But here, i really don see why the guy is inviting so much criticism..I feel the 'misfit' comment has been misconstrued by a majority of the members.I was defo hurt by that comment and the one about Zoya not having parents but can you really hold it against him? For once the guy was honest and extremely forthcoming about his innermost feelings..It would have been extremely unrealistic to see Asad gushing about Zoya and heaping praises on her at this stage..When a person is intoxicated, his subconscious feelings come to the fore and thats precisely what they showed..Asad loves Zoya despite everything he believes in and stands for..His ideologies are still the same but his heart compels him to make an exception for Zoya..The dialogues yesterday reflected this struggle brilliantly..He is damaged, psychologically scarred due his traumatic childhood, has trust issues, is regressive due to his preconceived notions and is stuck up..Yet the progress in his character as far as Zoya is concerned is for all to see..Isn't it a lil unfair to expect him to change overnight?
Now coming to today's epi, i for one found Asad's reaction to be very mellow..Asad trusted Zoya, went out of his way to help her, bore all her tantrums and then finds out he was conned all along.. The guy had every reason to be angry..Given how short-tempered and emotionally volatile he is, you'd expect him to explode..But he actually surprises you with his behavior..He was annoyed but din manhandle Zoya or say nasty things to her like he usually does..Now isn't this progress?Am surprised people din notice this change and actually feel he doesn't deserve Zoya..Regarding the hug, yes i hated it but i feel its wrong to judge Asad based on this..We don really know the bond the two of them shared and to top it he had no clue Zoya was around..Infact, in the precap, he offers an explanation, apologises to her and even lets her know that he was worried..This is defo not something Asad would normally do and yet he makes another exception for Zoya..Instead of being appreciated, why is the guy drawing so much flak?😕
About the title, is it just me or does anyone else find a similarity btw Darcy and Asad's confession? Darcy confessed to Lizzy about how he struggled for long to repress his feelings for her, expressed his disgust about the inferiority of her connections and economic condition, lack of propriety displayed by her family etc. and yet how his love overpowered every other feeling..It was not really the most endearing proposal but what was refreshing was that it was brutally honest..I know Asad is not there yet and its unfair to compare an epic character like Darcy with anyone but i did find some similarity..Asad indirectly confessed to his inner struggles and how he couldn't stop himself from liking her despite the fact that she was the anti-thesis of his definition of perfection..Now the only difference is Elizebeth lashed out and taught Darcy a lesson for his life but Zoya was too intoxicated to react😆
So guys, am really curious to know why Asad is being criticised so much..I for one see tremendous character growth which needs to be appreciated..Opposing POVs are most welcome😊
