I'm not surprised... This is going exactly how Ms. Khan's other show went.
My thoughts
Asad: abuser?
He probably doesn't even know it... But he's exhibiting the signs. Only having lived in Indis, no one told him it was unacceptable.
Red flags:
1. Bad temper
2. Tendency to break objects in frustration (phone incident)
3. Pushing and shoving. For example, an abuser may hold a victim against the wall and say, "You're going to listen to me."
4. Self centredness: An expectation of being the centre of attention, having his needs anticipated. May not support or listen to others.
5. Externalises responsibility for actions: blames it on other factors like stress, frustration, etc.
6. Tendency to say hurtful things with no regard for other's feelings
7. The need to control, be in charge
Zoya: low self esteem?
Not really. She doesn't exhibit the signs.
Behaviours of someone with low self esteem - found online...
1 ' Nasty sarcasm
2 ' Bullying
3 ' Not being direct in conversation, and at the same time having no tack
4 ' Indecisiveness
5 ' Thinking you know everything
6 ' Being a perfectionist
7 ' None or not much eye contact when talking to others
8 ' Being too loud and over talkative (jabbering on)
9 ' Sniping about other people all the time, behind their backs
10 ' Lack of inner-stability and calmness
11 ' Making weak-minded excuses
12 ' Getting a job for the sake of it- where power over others is needed
13 ' Self-medicating with spending (a sign of low self-worth)
14 ' Being generally jealous of others all the time.
15 ' Constant feeling of insecurity.
16 ' Feeling like being judged all the time and unable to cope with small problems.
17 ' Nit picking at others / destructive criticism towards other
18 ' Having an inferiority complex / always feeling small
20 ' Lack of self-liking / love
21 - Passive aggression
22 - sloughed "poor me" posture with forward head
Seems like Asad has some of these traits! Poor Asad... He's flawed.
But Zoya isn't. She's just a nice, optimistic positive girl who doesn't realise he's being emotionally and physically abusive towards her.
Awsoem Adeeti!đ...if only we did have you on the creative team...then we wouldn't be seeing this mass destruction today!
