Aankhon Mein Dhool Jhokna : Epi May 23

I have to give credit to the writers of QH for one thing- they have symbolically used a lot of Hindi idioms throughout the show. The one that stood out today was Tanveer throwing sand into Zoya's eyes- aankhon mein dhool johkna or in another words, deceiving someone.

This week has been all about Tanveer and her deceptive behavior. Right from the chandelier accident to the self inflicted burns; she has been on an overdrive of deceptive actions.

Even though she threw dhool into Zoya's eyes, the person who is actually being deceived the most is Asad. Time and again, Zoya has questioned the inconsistencies in her stories. Even today, she was baffled that Tanveer had not recognized Zoya's voice. Time to connect the dots Zoya. Perhaps, tomorrow's invasion during their private moment will finally have Zoya start clearing the dust particles in her eyes.

Asad on the other hand has buried his whole head under the sandbox. Any sensible guy would recognize when a best friend hits on them. Tanveer made it quite obvious today- agar Zoya nahin hoti tho? At least, he withdrew his hands right away but when Tanveer dismissed it as a joke, he started smiling again. What a duffer!!!! This was a clue bigger that the black hole in the universe. She made it so obvious but I doubt Asad mian will even bother to peep outside the sand box. Tanveer must have mixed opium in her homemade jam during their childhood.

Asad-Aapi conversation was the highlight of the episode. Looks like after all our ranting, the PH inserted a flash back of the Asad-Zoya scene where she clearly stated- mujhey aag se bahut darr lagta hai.

That scene was very well directed. Aapi pulled the chair towards Asad and made sure he had eye contact with her. In very polite ways, she confronted him and told him how hurt Zoya was. He started off with 'lekin,' but she didn't hesitate and asked "lekin kya Asad?" When Asad tried to defend himself, she questioned him : lekin Zoya ki baton ne tumhein upset kar diya hai na? Finally, as Asad tried to walk off in his typical fashion, she urged him to stay back and listen to her. Asad needs women like these around him. Aapi and Dilshaad who don't take any nonsense from him and make sure he has complete conversations with them. This is what Zoya needs to learn from these two women. Asad will listen but it's not an easy task. She needs to be assertive with Asad and whenever she has, he has listened.

The apology from Asad although heartfelt was not enough (for me) Zoya had once mentioned- aapka bas chale ho akele mein hi sorry bolkar chale jaayein.

Yes, he was embarrassed and too ashamed by his own behavior and couldn't face her this time. He knew that just saying a sorry wouldn't do it. He had touched a very sensitive and frightening chord from her life. The only way he can make up for this folly would be by his actions.

When Zoya questions Tanveer, will he stand by Zoya?

When Zoya makes an unintentional mistake, will he give her the benefit of the doubt?

Will he make sure he doesn't hurt her feelings with his bitter words ever again?

Well, only time will tell. The only positive I can see is another Mangalpur in the making. With the nikaah approaching, Tanveer cranking her evil plans, Zoya's fear of fire known to Tanveer, are we finally going to see Zoya trapped in a fire on the day of the nikaah?

Dilshaad coaching Asad is getting old now. Dilshaad was right- does Asad have to almost lose Zoya in order to confess his feelings? I think that's what's going to happen.

Precap:

I am intrigued by the date. Why the backyard? Why not a restaurant where no one can interrupt? How did Asad convince her to wear a sari and join him for the date? I guess we will find tomorrow.

It was good to hear Zoya's cute one liner in the precap: inke iraade tho nek lagte hain.

SYMBOLISMS:

1. As explained above- throwing sand in Zoya's eyes. Tanveer tried to deceive her but Zoya was able to clear out the sand eventually. Zoya will unravel her deception.

2. Asad's tear fell on Zoya's hand. She stirred a little but I doubt it melted her anger. This is just a glimpse of Asad's redemption track. In future, he will have to shed tons of tears for her and till they touch her heart, he won't be able to win her over (this is entirely my version and I am sure others have a different interpretation)

3. Nikhat's words: mohabbat apna raasta dhoondh hi legi. Applies to all the couples in love here.

4. Aapi-Asad relationship: This will be important as Asad now knows what Zoya even doesn't know.

5. Asad withdrawing his hand when Tanveer mentioned Zoya's name means even if he helps Tanu, he will never be able to give her Zoya's place in his life.
