Bheegi stated everything I wanted to about the hand holding part. It was my favorite part in today's episode. When he raises his hand, and the flashbacks start showing. And every step Asad was taking with holding Zoya's hand, my heart was crumbling. The flashbacks, and the song, it was all done so perfectly. Those certain scenes in the flashbacks were shown for a reason. He held her hand from his house to when he got into the SM and placed her next to Ayaan. When Zoya placed her hand on his arm, he showed weakness for a moment, I saw it on his face, but then he looked at her as if begging her Zoya don't do this to me'. But still held on to her hand tightly throughout.
Humaira, she didn't have to say anything, but her face had all her emotions. She looked helpless, as if she was relying on Asad to put an end to it. He was her only hope. She couldn't say anything because she also knows the gravity of the situation. She can't be selfish in place of Nikhat's life.
I loved the way they zoomed in on each of their faces, Ayaan, Humaira, Zoya, and Asad. I think this was very significant. Especially when they zoomed out and froze on all four of them, with Humaira standing in the back above them. What role will she play in all this, after all she was in the promo too.
Rashid felt for his son today. When he looked at Asad, he understood what sacrifice his son was making for his family. Rashid had made the same sacrifice once too. Rashid knows the extent to which Asad loves Zoya, he has seen the man break down in front of him.
One thing really stood out to me about both families. Siddiqui house has always been about what others thing, and what people will say about them. Image has always been important to these people, but the opposite is at the Khan house. When Najma spoke to her mother she said something which made me realize it all the more. "Aur log kya sochein kya kehein, is ki humein bilkul fikar nahi karne chahiye. Humare liye bhaijaan zyada important hain, log nahin." These are people who have never cared what society has thought about them, they have heard more than enough and put up with more than enough insults. How will they handle the situation?
There are still a few things that confused me though, Asad told Zoya to trust his love, but then when he took Zoya to Ayaan and said she was next to her husband, it made me a little suspicious. Other's have talked about this as well, and I can't help but think if there's more to it because like I said, every line the character has, and everything he/she does is for a reason. One more thing, after thinking about Asad's character a lot, I'm beginning to wonder if this isn't just a show for him but a reality? What if he really in actuality accepts them both and doesn't expect Zoya to come back to him. Asad has always been a man of principles and maturity, yeah he lets his emotions get the best of him, but would he really play a woman like that? Would his principles allow him to do this, give his bride to his brother and take her back when they're done with her? He doesn't even see her as his bride anymore, hence the 'Ms. Farooqi' I stated earlier. Which also makes me think why he really has accepted it all. I really can't imagine him doing that (maybe because I want to believe he can't).
I can't even be angry at anyone right now in the show. I have tried, but then I go in my head, every character was shown to be helpless today. I can understand each character, (I may not agree with them and how they're going about it) but I can definitely see all sides which I already posted yesterday about.
I just want to add what I'm really looking forward to for Monday: Humaira breakdown, the girl has potential to portray really emotional scenes and I would love to see her take on it all. Also I want Zoya to stop Asad from walking away. I know she'll run, but I want to see more drama lol. (Sorry guys I love these kinda scenes). I also thought about something, How will Nikhat react when she finds out about this?
