Pri's post prompted all my pent up emotions, lol. So I thought I will copy paste what I wrote there in a fresh post itself.
Here's the link to her original post for those who missed it. I doubt anyone misses her posts, but well:
And, here's my response.
There is a very thick, not fine, line between being happy go lucky and being immature. I know that the CVs showed that Zoya can have fun even with a bitter past in contrast to Asad who is kind of stuck in his past. But, to show what she did today - just to make him have fun was stupid. And, ofcourse She did not find the earring either!!!
What are we trying to say? Asad should love Zoya as she is? Doesn't he already? He does not want to change her... He just cant be in mess. Didn't he already tell her how he accepts her as she is, after the skirt episode when he gifted her that suit, and also with her burns, not in the privacy of the room only, but also publicly? Didn't he, already show how much he values her *difference* during the mehndi episode? Then, may be being the five year old she is, Zoya has a selective memory?
And, most importantly - when he was drenched in love... and obsessed with the passionate feeling of fulfilling her desire of eating pizza in bed... did he even care about his own OCD? No. All he cared was to make sure he made the pizza for her.
These scenes were cute - in the beginning. But now they are repetitive. Asad has done a lot for Zoya - (in this regard, as in changing for her). I know many would argue about the *trade* but, at this time, I am only speaking about how much they have changed for each other. From accepting her in jeans, to recognizing her strengths, he has done everything he can to show that he values her just as is. He even slept on floor when he saw her sleep on the floor in the Madrasa.
What has Zoya changed for Asad? She is down right insensitive. Even as a guest, in the earlier episodes, to being a rebel on many public occasions where she cared zilch for Khan family's izzat, to now ... what is the one change that Zoya has brought in herself for Asad, the man she claims to love? She did more to respect the wishes and personalities of people in SM, when she was mute, docile and submissive, than for Asad, IMO.
This couple and actors have so much potential. They were brilliant trying to hunt down Dilshaad's shooter. Their different personalities complemented each other. They were brilliant in how they connected to each other's pain during the finding abbu track. Asad was out of this world when he expresses their first meeting to DB. Why can't we take their relationship up a notch. Fine, you want to delay their nikaah? Go for it. You want them to have fun, go for it. But please, do something to to show how really two people with stark differences in their personalities would adjust to each other. Show some real conflict? Dont know why the CVS are hell bent on going downward in this graph... like plummeting as if there's no tomorrow. I am fed up of these juvenile tracks. But who cares? And, who is stupid? Me of course for expecting more from the writers who could think of the cool armour suit for Tanu and chicken blood. Well, may be I should learn my lesson? Because the CVs for sure wont. :)
PS: Long rant. Might as well make a lost out of it.I knew you would share my sentiments. There is a very thick, not fine, line between being happy go lucky and being immature. I know that the CVs showed that Zoya can have fun even with a bitter past in contrast to Asad who is kind of stuck in his past. But, to show what she did today - just to make him have fun was stupid.

Dont know why the CVS are hell bent on going downward in this graph... like plummeting as if there's no tomorrow. I am fed up of these juvenile tracks. There' was a subtle message there - Asad did not break toys because he did not have the luxury of many or excess. I wish Zoya took a clue. He does not have a personality problem. There is a reason why he is the way he is, and with time he can loosen up a little, while Zoya begins to tighten up her act too. Why are wonderful tracks like this (or the earring, or Rashid and Asad's birthday gift exchange) treated so immaturely by this PH? But who cares? And, who is stupid? Me of course for expecting more from the writers who could think of the cool armour suit for Tanu and chicken blood. Well, may be I should learn my lesson? Because the CVs for sure wont. :)
And, yes, Zoya, may be you don't but we know why Mr. Khan treats you like a kid.
PS: Karan Singh Grover was bang on with his *disgusted* expressions. If you are OCD, you sure know what I mean :)
