This is my first post in this forum. i tend to be a silent reader. but todays episode just took my breath away. sure yesterdays was amazing, but todays was nothing else but a war that was going on inside of asad. hear me out. then do comment and share your views.
in order to understand what asad did in the last part of todays episode and for the precap you have to first get a good understanding of asad's character. his past. he has made himself to be the strongest and toughest person around. who has no space for any emotional weakness (he believes love to make a person weak. trust me.). You have to notice his behaviour when he first returned to him room from their trip. this was the key part of todays episode. It was the mind war going on in his head. He always thought and strongly believed that an emotion like love and never enter his life. and he would not allow it to either. but then mangalpur happened. It made him realize that his heart was already starting to like someone. his mind just wouldnt allow the message to get through. the debate going on, his realization of how and why he acted in such a manner just for zoya. why is the key question that is in his mind right now. now its just a war of his mind and heart. the heart is trying to disturb the strong one sided bias that his mind was in for several years.
now for the next big part, when they meet at the dinner table. zoya smiled. his eyes did widen, but he kept a hold on his emotions. imeediatly looked down and away. he is telling him self, mentally that nothing happened. whatever the heart is saying is not true. and i will not believe it. so not its just a matter of his mind denying everything.
zoya even asked, okay what about what happened. and the dosri cheez. his face at that time was depicting the war going inside of his mind.
asad's mind: no, its not true. nothing happened.
asad's heart: she knows i care. shes realized it. now its time for the mind to realize it and not deny it.
precap. i loved. reason is because asad is verbally speaking out what his mind is telling him. that nothing has changed. i said so. bas. i am still the same strong person who does not believe in love and i wont let anything change. he is trying to say it out loud so he can convince his mind.
so that is what i think. thats my analysis. so tell me what you think. hey, i may be wrong, i may be right. but all i know for sure. todays episode was very impactful. it showed the start of an amazing track ahead.
