Don't Cry For Me Zoya
I have no words to describe today's episode. I would like to dedicate today's episode to one character- ZOYA. Zoya, the girl full of life, always willing to help others, the sunshine in everyone's life came face to face with the harshest reality of her life today. All her life, she has clung to a glimmer of hope- that one day she will find her father, and that thread of hope snapped when Asad took her to the shamshaan ghat. What a cruel joke by her enemies, Tanveer and Razia. No one deserves to be mocked like this. The two women will hopefully pay for this insensitive trick they have played today. They even roped in the photo frame shopkeeper.
The only silver lining in the cloud was Asad's rock solid support for Zoya. I am so glad that it was Asad and noone else who was there to provide unconditional support to her.
We got to witness various facets of Zoya's character today. The way she complimented Asad for being sensitive to her feelings was very cute. She doesn't hold her emotions and is lavish with both her praises and criticism. I think that's what Asad likes about her because he doesn't know how to praise, criticise, yes! Her shayari, willingness to listen, help Ayaan with Humeira's feelings were all so Zoya, but what stood out today was her reaction to when Asad mentioned he knew where her Abbu was.
That Zoya has yearned to be with her Abbu for so long was evident by the fact that she actually changed into a salwaar suit today. So far, she has never bothered to change out of her jeans for anyone but her Abbu says a lot about her feelings for her father. Her innocent eagerness to meet her father displayed in the car was really heartfelt and Surbhi did a fantastic job.
The scene at the cemetary has to go down as one of the best scenes of QH. Surbhi once again exceeded expectations as she broke down after finding out that her Abbu was no more.
Asad, a bit uncomfortable in the car, never once flinched or averted his gaze when she cried at the cemetary. He knew she needed him at that moment. When she broke down into his arms, he hugged and pacified her, just the kind of support she needed at that moment. It was an irony, that her real dad was actually in the background attending someone else's funeral at the same moement.
I can't imagine how bad Asad would feel when he finds out the truth.
Asad will always be there for her, while her Abbu will stay in the background. Asad is Zoya's main destination, not her Abbu.
I cried with Zoya today, but Zoya doesn't deserve these tears. The girl who spreads happiness everywhere deserves a little happiness for herself too.
My fear is that once she does find out the truth about her Abbu, will she really be happy? Moving into the Siddiqui household with Razia in charge might just make her life even more miserable. Right now, she is independent and can take her own decisions, but if she were to move in with Ghaffoor, she would lose that freedom too.
Precap: Another wonderful scene coming up tomorrow. As soon as she metioned that she wants to go back to the US, a heartbroken Asad withdrew his hand. Poor guy, is so afraid of abandonment. He has come so far with Zoya, even cheeres her up with a cheesecake, but will have a hard time with the realization that Zoya has to leave him one day. I hope he doesn't withdraw before Zoya leaves.
Once again, hats off to Surbhi for displaying such an array of emotions today. She is one talented actress and I am glad she is a part of a complex story like QH
Edited: The reason for my title..
Does Ghafoor really deserve a daughter like Zoya or does Zoya really deserve a father like Ghafoor? Zoya has shed so many tears for her Abbu, but Ghafoor doesn't deserve even a drop of those tears. He is the biggest loser here. He has lived a life of facade and is responsible for the death of Zoya's mother and also abandoned his first born child. Zoya, please don't shed tears for this man. He really needs to redeem himself big time before he can deserve to be your Abbu or be worthy of your tears.
