Jodi separation still earns high TRPS no matter how much it frustrates the viewer. So it is not surprising that Indian style dramas often rush to have their leads fall in love all in an effort to separate them, only to spend the bulk of the show figuring out how to bring them back together again. Take one current and top rated show that will remain nameless, a popular jodi (I personally never really cared for them as they did not do it for me) have been separated to the point that now it looks like they are unlikely to get back together again, Apparently the female lead is now "in love" with another man, despite the viewers constant venting of their frustrations on Indian-forum.
Separating a jodi typically happens AFTER a couple declare their love for each other. However, with QH, while there was a declaration of attraction, no love was confessed and whatever was disclosed was while the characters were intoxicated.
The separation track started with the arrival of Tanveer. While she is a bother for many viewers, it is not her arrival per se that irks the viewer but the dark shadow of misery that is slowly creeping up and that is the possibility that the Zoya-Ayaan jodi might actually happen. Many of us have tried to pretend that that this track was was a typo on the zeetv website or placed on the shelf by the CVs after leaning our distate for it, but each day the foreboding nightmare of this track comes closer the more we know Tanveer is here to stay.
We so anticipate this Zoya-Ayaan jodi as we do a root canal without anesthesia. More so, we do not know how far the writers want to go with this story line or for how long. We do not know which of the following scenarios they will chose - a) Ayaan just having a crush on Zoya and Zoya seeing only as a friend, b) Ayaan and Zoya both liking each other romantically, c) Ayaan and Zoya getting married - Ayaan in favor, Zoya reluctant, d)both getting married because they are in love with each other (that is in keeping with the Zee Synopsis that has yet to be changed), and e) the one we dread the most - both getting married and consummating the marriage🤢.
I think we could all handle the separation between Zoya and Asad and even the torment meted out to Zoya by Asad and Tanveer, but NOT with the idea that the she, Zoya, could end up with Ayaan even for a temporary period of time. Some viewers can handle him liking her and Asad mistaking it for love and sacrificing Zoya for him. However, I still feel that is a pretty cruel decision of Asad's as it shows his favor towards his brother and once again ignoring Zoya's love for him. How many times is this poor girl going to be made to suffer by Asad?
What do you think? Do you think the track is harder for you because of the risk of her ending with Ayaan? Please share if your angst really lies there more than anywhere else...
