So I totally skipped most of the PV stuff, maybe that's why I actually liked the episode. Razia actually was the star of the show for me. Haseena bi is just pure evil but Razia tries to convince us that there's an ulterior motive to her seemingly evil intentions. Although the secret is still not evident and I'm not fully convinced its worth doing what she did to her daughter, more than anything she generated curiosity which is what a great storyline should do!

I think people thought there were more of Ayaan-Humaira this time because they don't show them enough normally or when they do, it's usually pretty pointless things so we tend to overlook it.

Zoya's not telling the truth because Asad's not listening to her. She could forcefully tell him but considering that there are people out there to murder them and Asad's not really going to want to listen to her, she probably thinks her defence will fall to deaf ears. I guess you reach a certain point when defending your point becomes a fruitless effort.

And coming to the restroom issue. Haha! I didn't think of that and um'that would be a little awkward to show in a conservative Muslim show? They hadn't been together for the whole day though? I can hold my bladder for 6-8 hours on a school day. I hate using public washrooms because they're so filthy so let's just assume that Asad, who probably has undiagnosed OCD, can't tolerate them either! Plus even if one of them had to go, how embarrassing would it be to tell the other? Yeah'

Coming to Mariyam. I think if she got into Zoya's car, she'll get to Dilshad by the next day and hopefully tell Dilshad about what's going on so they can be saved.

I don't exactly know who was chasing them but it seems as if Asad's uncle and the boy's side were out to slaughter them.

What I really didn't like thought was the Yash and Aarti dancing at the end and them just sitting there. What was that?! Usually if a couple's having a private time, I'd like to move away from them, giving them their privacy and in their case, maybe figuring out how to break their handcuffs with something else.


Thank you for your response and your appreciation of the Razia scenes - she is indeed an amazing actress and her character is becoming even more interesting with time.

We can only assume why Zoya did not tell the truth but I believe this is a big fault of the writers and if they do not redeem themselves with her revealing the truth or him learning, it will be a big fault of the writers.

As for the bladder issue - one writer came up with a brilliant idea and all they had to do was mention it that if they drank too much they would be in serious trouble. And if one them had to go...that would have been hilarious to written and watched.

I am wondering where Marilyam ended up! If the town is only a few hours away then Mariyam should have been at Dilshaad's by now unless the car broke down on the way. She probably has the iPad and Zoya's clothes.

And none of us are clear in who is doing the chasing.

Yes, I agree...watching Yash and Aarti should have been the least of their concerns. Instead, they should have been breaking the handcuffs. However, Indian audiences thrive on this stuff and so they had to do it. I think they could have done it and had them try to break them at the same time.

For a change, I completely disagree with you.


Asad and Zoe tied together and its aftermath was as natural as possible in the given situation. They were completely in character and their interactions were as their equation is. The last scene was enacted to perfection by Karan and Surbhi and i don't think anyone missed their emotion and how well they expressed Asad-Zoe's hesitance and predicament. The song, the look exchange , every emotion was nailed to perfection.

The ME was not something Oscar winning but it was definitely not a let down.

The take that Hollywood takes and the take we take for the typical Indian audience are drastically different.

Just my POV like you stated yours.


I responded to your post earlier...and then i read it again...are you saying that you work in production? If so, do you work on this show? Are you friends with the writer, director? Part of the creative team? And when you make this comment...how does your take differ from that of Hollywood? Are you saying you are sloppier and less cognizant about your quality of work from a production perspective? cause that is exactly how I am reading this post.

If you're not a member of a production team, then why are you writing as though you are? I am curious.

Well folks - let us hope today brings with it a better episode. If not, I will be writing another post expressing my disappointment. Knowing who the creative head is, I am hoping she will not disappoint 😉
