I try not to make more than one post in a day. Partly, because of time constraints and partly, I don't have much to say beyond what all the wonderful writers on this forum have said.
The TOI article has suddenly set our forum on fire once again. There is panic, curses and threats of quitting the show.
Let's think about logically.
1. This show is the livelihood for many people working for the PH, the actors, the channel and the creatives. We, are just the audience. So, who would be more invested in making sure this show is a success? Of course, the ones who depend on this show for their rozi-roti. So, why would they want to ruin their show and kick their own source of income? Let's have faith in the team. They want this show to continue for a long time, so twists and turns will happen. Not everyone will like all the twists and turns and I am sure they will monitor that closely.
2. We all know that AsYa is end game but we also realize that right now, AsYa are not capable of having a meaningful relationship with each other. Both have a lot of learning to do. So, why push them into a forced relationship where they will constantly bicker and argue with each other?
3. Today's episode, after Mangalpur has proved two things for me. Both Asad and Zoya lose their essence when they are apart from each other. Asad becomes a crazy, manic, roaring, wounded lion who doesn't care about anyone or care about himself. His goal is only ZOYA at that moment. Zoya, on the other hand becomes a lifeless, emotionless, expressionless doll. Of course, in Mangalpur, she was buried alive- literally a near death experience. Today, once she left the gates of the AAK mansion, her tears dried up and had a blank expression on her face. At the airport, she just went through the motions without thinking. Normally, very astute and intelligent, she even ignored the big hint DB dropped about his 'secret woman spy'
Fortunately, both these separations have been short lived and haven't given them much time to introspect. What will happen if there is a longer separation? I suspect, Asad will become an emotional wreck and Zoya, a lifeless robot.
The creatives are not going to let their lead pair live like this for a long time. So, guess what? Even if they are separated, it will be short lived because, hopefully, this time, they will have enough time to introspect and realize that they are incomplete without each other.
Let's calm down and enjoy this journey with Asad and Zoya. They both need to cross this bed of thorns so their life will be full of roses in the future.
