The 'OTT naeka (Bengali for coy and affected)' award
Zoya Farooqui/ Qubool Hai (Zee TV)
Zoya (Surbhi Jyoti) makes us want to sit her down and smack all the silly out of her. Of all the Hindi serial heroines in love, this one is the most 'naeka' (ask a Bengali what it means)! She giggles and bubbles, chirps and preaches. She calls her loverboy (look right) "Mr Khan". A few weeks ago, she sneaked into his room (through the window) with a plateful of cookies. When he snapped at her, she pretended to be upset. "Yeh aapne theek nahi kiya, Mr Khan," she pouted. When we started watching Qubool Hai, we liked this good-looking, modern girl with a mind of her own. But then she started simpering at the man and at us!
The 'wooden chest impersonation' award
Asad Ahmed Khan/ Qubool Hai (Zee TV)
He's a model! Asad (Karan Singh Grover) is tall and broad, with a beautiful face and a sculpted body. We think he's trying to be all alpha male, simmering and brooding with his pretty 'girlfriend' (Zoya), but hey, you've got to act too. He's got daddy issues, his half-brother was in love with his lady friend but gave her up – there's just so much scope to the character! Only if Mr Khan would decide to move even one muscle in his face! But no, his face is a locked wooden chest. It's almost tragic!
