Hey Sangeeta,
Was wondering what you were going write today. Lol. Both Asad and Zoya have deep rooted daddy issues. Asad so desperately needs love and approval from his father but at the same time hates him for being a weak man who has never stood up for anyone or anything. The grief, the pain, the need was wonderfully portrayed by both actors. I was able to set aside my personal feelings towards Asad's behaviour to weep for him. Then when Ayaan comes to hug his father it felt like that hug actually was for Asad. You see the longing in is eyes but he still rejects him.
I get what you are saying...he is a broken man. As long as he is able to control his environment, his OCD, he is able to control himself and keep it all together. As soon as anything or anyone goes out of line he cannot handle it and loses it. This kind of explains why Dilshad and Najma walk on eggshells around him and make sure his things are always the way he needs them.
Zoya has completely shaken up everything and everyone around him. In MP he lost control of everything including himself. MP incident has made him realize how much she affects him and that in fact he now has feelings for her. He was in the process of gaining control over himself and his home and environment when again she shakes it up by almost killing the most important person in the world to him. Of course he loses control and lashes out physically to get her out of his way...she is a threat to everything he is and everyone he loves.
I can understand how women see a broken man and want to fix him. But 9 out 10 times you can't. In real life unless a man like this gets serious help and therapy they don't get better. Left to themselves they try more and more to control the woman as part of the environment they are controlling. And the violence escalates. My roti is burned - slap. My shirt is not ironed - jab. My house is not clean - kick.
Only in dramas, movies, fiction do we see the beast becoming a prince.
But then I guess that is why we love these type of flawed men because as girls (women too) we fantasize about kissing a frog into a prince or believe that our love will change a rouge.
Zoya ... Well Zoya is desperately seeking love and approval of all around her...maybe I will psychoanalyze her another day.
