It's All About Expectations- Epi 2/27

It's All About Expectations- Epi Feb 27

Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed."
? Alexander Pope

We have all heard that if one lowers one's expectations, one would never be disappointed in life. Unfortunately, all human beings have expectations from themselves and from others. Most of our expectations are a result of our attachments. Only a spiritually supreme person can stay detached and have no expectations.

Today's episode, for me, was all about human beings and their expectations.

Zoya: Is still feeling the pinch from Asad's cold behavior. I would too, if I were in her place. The simple reason is expectation. Zoya is much attached to Asad, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Because of this bond with him, she has certain expectations from him. She expects him to care for her, listen to her and help her whenever she has a problem. That's why she poured her heart out to him, something she has never done before. It was very hard for her to open up her inner most feelings to anyone. She was probably not expecting a hug from Asad, but empathy and a shoulder to cry on. Instead, he walked away and ever since has been acting aloof and detached (typical Asad style) Even today, when his intention to help her was genuine, she was disappointed because he didn't live up to her expectations. Perhaps, she expected him to apologize or acknowledge her pain. Instead, he appeared arrogant and matter-of-fact. She just wanted him to say' Zoya…I care about you…don't worry….I will help you." Unfortunately, he didn't say any of this. That's how we all are. When someone doesn't say what we expect them to, we get disappointed and so was Zoya. In her disappointment, she threw her typical tantrum at him, which didn't go down too well with Mr.Akdu. Even his mild suggestion to change into traditional clothes became a big issue for her. If he had met her expectations, I am sure, she would have complied. After all, he knows Bhopal crowd better than she does. She did that in Mangalpur, right?

Asad: If there is one expectation Asad has always had, that's Ayan's unconditional devotion to him. Since their argument two days ago, Asad has been restless to reach Ayaan. Why? Because he can't see Ayaan upset with him. Ayaan has always placed Asad on a pedestal and the one time, Ayaan has an opinion of his own, Asad is trying his best to appease his brother. He even gave the all-important task of finding Zoya's father to Ayaan. Ayaan, the irresponsible boy, who couldn't buy gifts for his sister's engagement, has been entrusted to help Zoya in her near impossible venture. Asad, what were you thinking? You know your brother better. Besides pleading to Asad, Ayaan hasn't done anything to get his father out of jail. I am disappointed at Asad's judgment today. I am sure he is going to regret or get an ear full from Zoya (hope she does.)

The women at the function: These so called traditional women, who have preconceived ideas about tehzeeb and culture, were totally out of line in expecting Dilshaad's guest to conform to their way of dressing. Its expectations like these that create issues in society. Loved Dilshaad in the way she defended 'meri Zoya.'

Razia: She expects the whole world to revolve around her games. That's why, an overconfident Razia, walked into Dilshaad's house- someone she despises to the core. She expects that she will win every evil game she plays. She even abused a little girl! Thank God, she couldn't get the doll today. Hope these expectations of emerging victorious every time will be the downfall of this cunning character.

Dilshaad: I have always expected Dilshaad to do the right thing. Perhaps, that's why I was disappointed by the last scene. She has put Zoya in a precarious situation. Just because Zoya is indebted to her, does that mean, she can force her to lie? Does she not know Asad's temper? Hasn't she seen how ruthless he can be with Zoya? Why does she want Zoya to lie? I guess love is blind and so is Dilshaad. In her efforts to save Rashid, she has crossed the threshold of honesty and truth. Poor Zoya, she is in a bind now. Caught between her phoophi, who has always defended her, and the wrath of Asad, who can give her both physical and emotional pain. Which one will she choose? Knowing Zoya, she will never hurt her phoophi, especially after Dilshaad stood up for her at the function.

No one is perfect….and all characters showed their vulnerabilities today. That's how we humans are.

Superb post one again👏.Loved this line

''Caught between her phoophi, who has always defended her, and the wrath of Asad''

Zoya is caught between a rock and a hard place.Here she has the sweet,loving,caring Phoopi who is like the mother she never had and whom she trusts.Then there is Asad the guy who she depends on and a guys whose wrath she wouldnt want to be on the receiving end again.

Asad and Dilshad are both being emotional but Dilshad heard that Gudiya's recording and her faith in Rashid may have been shattered once but it never died.

Asad believes what he saw is the complete truth.He should know by now that there is more than meet the eyes.He is taking drastic steps which could leave him regretting and disappointed at himself in the future.

Frankly, I think Zoya should let mom and son figure this one out. If Asad can be insensitive about her sorrows, she can leave them to battle it out. If she is asked to testify, she can just speak the truth from her perspective. That's what I would do but Zoya is Zoya...she wants to help everyone and that's why gets into so many problems

Zoya is the kind of woman who may be independent,strong and courageous but that doesnt mean that she isnt a weak,vulnerable girl who is begging for answers to all of her questions.She wants to bring closure to a chapter of her life that brings her immense pain and sufferings.She depends and expects Asad to understand her pain.Asad does but he doesnt know how to react to her.His reactions to her revelations are very important to her.This shows how much importance Mr Six packs has on her life.😆

Yes, her existence in India pretty much revolves around him. Actually, I would be happy to see her 'detach' herself from him- temporarily at least. Let him come after her for a change.

Asad doesnt know how to show his true feelings to her because he did cause her pain also.His reluctance and withdrawal show that he is still in denial and the effect of her opening up has cause his too much pain too.He feels if she sees him in that state then she would look at him differently.

Yes, he is afraid to show his true emotions.One time he did show his true emotions for her- she was unconscious (mangalpur)

The power of his emotions can make him behave in certain ways that would make anyone wonder who he really is.Asad has also disappointed me by signing such an important task to an immature guy like Ayaan who is doing it because he gets to meet the girl.How pathetic and how irritating can he get.His father is in jail but he worries about a girl🤢 🤢🤢.Shows he doesnt know what his priorities are.

Ayaan disappointed me big time today. He should be going to lawyers to help his dad, not looking forward to meeting a girl

Precap once again Asad confronts Zoya like she is the only one who will keep the Documents from him.I guess she is the only one he can draw so close without it being so awkward.

I guess serial waalas need this staple scene of grab,pin,pull...

No thoughts on Razia...hate her guts too much😡 😡 😡 😡

You have given a new perspective to the episode and emotions of every one,
As you said, Zoya expects a lot from Asad now. But that shows how much their relationship has changed. Knowingly or unknowingly you expect things from people very close to your heart and from people whom you feel deep down that you have a right to expect things. So Zoya now even if subconsciously feels she has a right to expect things from Asad , get angry with him when her expectation is not met.

They are just like a married couple now😆

Ayan- Asad-did Asad really give that task to Ayaan to bring Ayaan closer? if so that is really very stupid indeed.

That was very callous of Asad IMO

i am also a bit disappointed with Dilshad today and i hope it does not continue.But i am waiting to see what happens tomorrow. If Asad understands the position Zoya is in and realizes that she did not mean it to happen then it's well and good.😛

Yeah, Dilshaad is getting carried away by emotions and going about the wrong way...she knows Asad and Zoya's relationship is volatile, why do this for her own selfish reason?
