So I'm a little taken aback to see what an issue Asad's clothes have created😆.😆
From what I have gathered in all the character sketches given to us by various sources, Asad is suppose to be like this. He was always supposed to be this conservative, orthodox kind of guy who has his morals and values in place .
No, I am in no way implying that we open-minded people don't have morals and values but they're different from the ones he has. He looks at the world from a different angle. He thinks women should be protected and that women themselves should take their own precautions.
Zoya, on the other hand, is like most of us here. She's independent, a feminist who doesn't take the male-dominance in a patriarchal society kindly. She wants women to have the freedom to do what they want, go where they like, when they like and wear what they want. She feels that 'society' is no one to tell the fairer sex what to do and how to live. She lives life on her own terms, not the others'.
Regardless of whose outlook we relate to more, I think we all will agree that they're two extremes. Asad needs to understand that women are no longer the ones who look down and walk but walk shoulder-to-shoulder with men. Zoya, on the other hand, is totally right when she says that women should be given the right to make their own decisions but she, too, needs to realise that those decisions will have consequences and the choices should be intelligent and in sync with what is happening around.
Hence, comes the reason why I'm developing a liking for AsYa as a couple already. They will balance each other out. Zoya will make Asad more open-minded while Asad will put some restraint on her considering she is no longer in New York. I think this transition will be a lovely watch. Who marries who is a bridge I'd like to cross when it comes but ultimately, I expect to see how Zoya will help Asad become less rigid and how Asad will mold Zoya into living in a society.
P.S. Oh I just had to add this. I know Asad and Najma are suppose to be siblings but that dining table conversation totally reminded me of when I'm trying to convince my father about letting me go out partying at night😛
