So.
Today's episode was disgusting.
What was even more disgusting was the pre-cap.
But.
There are a few MAJOR points that need to be brought out…
1. How can you leave the groom alone on his wedding day? Isn't it tradition for the groom to be accompanied by atleast a family member? Last time I checked, Tanveer was only a childhood friend, not family.
2. How can Mr.Asad Ahmed Khan run behind Tannu, without informing anyone whatsoever? Isn't he the one who talks about 'tameez' and 'tehzeeb'?
Nothing, absolutely nothing, can justify leaving your bride stranded at the altar, with absolutely no idea about why you're delayed, or where you are.
3. How can the same sharp, smart Asad Ahmed Khan buy that his nikaah to Zoya has actually taken place (and let Tannu make him shirtless) when he actually knows he ran behind his best friend Tanveer, instead of going to his own nikaah?
Plot hole, I call it.
Forget and forgive all that.
And, let's say the whole staged-consummation thing is plausible.
Then.
This is how I see it…
There are a few possibilities.
1. Zoya trusts him despite this, as she sees through Tannu's plot.
a. Asad believes himself innocent too. Happy ending. Tannu out-of-picture. AsYa happy. Viewers happy.
b. Asad also believes himself innocent. Marries Zoya. But. Tannu comes back later saying that she had Asad's kid. And, all the hullabaloo that follows.
c. Asad believes himself guilty, but doesn't marry Tannu right away. Zoya might work on proving his innocence. (Why should she though??) Possible happy ending, in distant future.
d. Asad believes himself guilty marries Tannu. The End of QH, for me
(atleast till someone comes and proves that nothing happened to Asad, and he gives Tannu a slap, and Talaq. Then what??)
2. Zoya doesn't trust him, see's it as his betrayal.
a. Asad proves he is innocent. Zoya buys it. Happy married life.
b. Asad thinks he's innocent, convinces her. But Tannu says she's preggers with his kid. Then what?
c. Asad believes himself guilty. Tannu takes FULL advantage. The End of QH, again.
Only two are completely safe possibilities too.
Not much hope.
But then again...
Only 2 out of 7 are completely hopeless possibilities.
Impasse. I'd say.
But.
At the end of the day, the outcome depends only on Asad and Zoya. And their trust on each other, their understanding of each other.
I'm still hoping that the precap is falsified. Just as last night's was.
By the way.
Gul… The whole falsified precap thing probably got the TRPs you were looking for, but that was uncalled for.
The story was awesome, some of us choose to see hope even in such a scenario, but not all will.
Lots of people would have stopped watching, or given up on the show, without considering the possibilities as a few of us are. They can't be blamed.
I myself am gonna watch which line the story is gonna take, and then decide if this is a ship worth sinking with or not.
I watched Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon through till it's end. The fact that I'm gonna watch Qubool Hai for a little longer will have to be credited to the fact that you had me hook, line and sinker into IPKKND, even through the downright depressing portions (except at the end) and I think you will weave the story around this, or weave this into the story… I'm fervently hoping so.
