Advocating for Asads Actions

Im a bit of a silent reader when it comes to this forum but today I decided to make a post as I was a little confused. I'm deeming it hard to understand why is everyone so against Asad in this forum.
I have been watching qubool hai from the very first epi and since its my fav show I practically remember all the details of the show. It is hard to understand why Asad is not just confessing his love for Zoya but we also know that Asad is a bit of a puzzle, there are so many layers to his feelings that we should not just accept everything for face value

I think that to say Asad is in denial or is hurting Zoya is an unfair accusation
He has accepted that he loves Zoya. He knows that from all his past actions.
Coming back from Mangalpur he was in denial but after Tanveers entrance you can practically see him giving into his feelings (through the smiles). He is not in denial but not responding to these feelings for 4 reasons:

  1. He is scared that he will end up hurting the woman he loves the most like his father did (if u watched Qubool hai from the beginning you would know thats the primary reason he was against marriage. Discussions about marriage with his mum.
  2. He is wounded by his past and feels he has nothing to offer Zoya apart from pain. He doesnt want to give Zoya any high expectation from him as he knows he would never live up to it. To hide this reason he uses the cover up reason of Zoya being too modern for his liking.
  3. Him and Zoya are too different. He loves Zoya but he might not be able to see a happy future together due to the differing opinions they have about tameez and traditions, values and principles. They might not be able to live in an amicable manner in the future together and might not want Zoya to change for him, or he change for her.
  4. He doesnt think Zoya feels that strongly for him yet he cant let her go completely. Makes sense as he has shown time and time again his care for Zoya. Not just mangalpur but he has also verbalised that if something happened to her he would go crazy. He put himself out there and told her indirectly that he wished for her not to go but cant say it to her face. His tears hearing about her past, his support for her and so on have all been a display of his affection Apart from Zoyas petty jealousy Asad has never really seen her love for him. She has never said anything to him but expects him to make the first move. Zoya knows Asad loves her but Asad is still unsure. Understandable in my opinion as Zoya acts indifferent to him as well sometimes.
About Ayaan and Zoya and being sacrificed. If it does come to that I dont think it will be in a way in which everyone expects it to be. Asad loves little brother so sacrifice Zoya for him.
It wont work like that for sure. Asad would do anything for his brother but not against someones wishes. If he knows for 100% that Zoya loves him and him only than the sacrificing track will not come into the equation first place.
However, sacrficing for Zoyas happiness is a different matter. It would follow the concept that true love is able to see their love with another for the sake for her happiness. If he sees Ayaan and Zoya happy and jovial together than Asad would back away. He would not push Zoya into Ayaans arms nor try to separate them but be indifferent. For this to happen there will be alot of misapprehensions, confusion and misunderstandings between the two (so nothing new there). As they say, sometimes true love will forces us to put a person that we truly loves own well being before our own.

True love is in giving, not in getting; in losing; not in gaining; in realizing, not in possessing. 😃

Awesome points and aptly put. But hey, nobody is against Asad as such. Fandoms just fear that Asad's fears could ruin his and Zoe's lives.Or rather fans are frustrated because Asad is holding back his feelings.

They love Asad. They really do. Its just that he is so difficult that its not as easy to love him as it is to love someone like Zoe.

In short, this forum is Zoya Farooqui. Always calling Asad emotionally challenged but always loving him.

Thanks for vocalizing what you think. :-)

Found someone who understands both the characters so well. and yes I totally agree. I honestly do not understand why everyone keeps pitying Zoya and blaming Asad. Zoya is an extremely smart, mature and head strong girl, she does not require pity and Asad is a mature, yet disciplined man who does not deserve to be judged at everything he does. We all knew both of theirs nature, but Asad's was and is extremely in the face. His character may have layers to it but by now none are hidden. Where as Zoya may seem like a simple individual she has as many layers to her which are rather hidden from the viewer. As you said Asad's feelings are clear to him and he also knows Zoya has begun to feel for him, but he does not want to give her high hopes because he can't offer anything. He is someone whose trust on love has been wounded and even inspite of his fear to love he has fallen in love and he very well knows what that can do to him and to the person he loves, hence keeps away and tries to bury his emotions. I don't mean to say Zoya does not have a past and a pain of her own, and that she deserves to be pushed away by Asad, but its not like she has understood her feelings yet either. Even for Asad's character he has many a times not been able to control the upsurge of emotions, like in Mangalpur, the other day at the airport. But when he loses his control over his heart he tries to lid it even harder, because he becomes entirely transparent. And its surprising how a normally smart Zoya cannot gauge these obvious hints of love. BUT I love her as much as I love Asad and her own confusions and insecurities are very well justified and for a reason. She has all the rights to sit back, ponder over the changes in her life and take decisions. But since both are hesitant to take a step for their own reasons, none can really be blamed . Not Zoya and neither Asad.
Its obvious for a man like him to get some sorta nod from the girl he loves, if not he would fear a no, which means rejection and that would push him back into the hell hole he has managed to surface from.

Precisely. Very accurately put.😉


@ topic maker. I love your post and I agree that Asad not being able to say what he wants can be infuriating but he has his reasons. Also to add I also think that not just hurting Zoya but he is also afraid of getting hurt as well. He doesnt want to welcome any pain so its better to remain closed up. He would rather have a life partner that has all the qualities to me a good daughter-in-law and a supporting wife rather than be with someone who can truly hurt him. He doesnt want to give into his love completely, especially when chances of rejection is very likely since Zoya has never given him a clear indication of what she wants as well. He opened his heart to fatherly love but was left alone to care and provide for his family. A wound that has never really healed. A scar like that again would destroy him.If circumstances take Zoya away from him than he would become completely unresponsive. Its better to block the gate that could bring tons of happiness and love but also a chance of pain as well. Overall a nice post and I do agree with some of your points.

Spoken like a true Asad advocate 👍🏼
Very liable statements. Effective line of reasoning. Well placed facts.

Have nothing against Zoya. Love her just like Asad but her being a modern girl, I would like to see her do some chasing as well. Its unfair for Asad to do all the work. She should give into her feelings and then expect same from Asad, If Asad agrees to real engagement, has she asked herself if she wants that or not? Its high time both of them fight for their love rather than leave the load on the other.
Asad needs Zoya to help him lose this fear of hurting her and giving her pain.
Zoya needs Asad to help her understand the extent of her feelings for him and give in rather than question.

very well described???...
actually both are at faults... though she calls him Emotionally Challenged infront of him, deep inside her conscience, she knows y he is like that (ref. the conversation between ayaan and zoya in ayaan's engagement)...they know that they love each other or they have an attraction b/w them which will lead to love utimately...they are still playing "Pehle Aap"-"no Pehle Aap" game very well...as they are taking each other for granted...
Also both of them have a fear of rejection...as i said earlier in bheeghi's post... unless something (divine forces) or until someone (dilshad) force them to confess or get married, nothing could happen in b/w these two...
As viewers are not emotionally challenged or emotionally ignorant like asad and zoya respectively...they are very much worried for them and drowned in AsYa's thoughts as if they are their friends in real life. Asad friends supports him, zoya's friends supports her and also some are neutral. basically viewers simply don't want them to ruin their life themselves. that is it...

You have really nailed it. He is nt emotionally challenged. He has shown far many times, and deeply that he cares for her. Ye Zoya ka bachpana hi hai (in his eyes) that she can't just read those signs and give it time to grow. :)

Well, lets see. One of these days may be we will get an outburst from Asad that turns tables on Zoya that she is the one who is running from truth, and not admitting anything, so she is emotionally challenged.

For now, I loved your post! You put thoughts so well laid out!

Great post and I could not agree with you more. I share your opinions too. When it comes to confessing how they feel, neither Zoya or Asad are right or wrong. Infact their actions are quite similar.
