Ishq Aur Mushq: Apr 29

Ishq Aur Mushq…Epi Apr 29 Sorry about the delay today. really bust at work.

There is an old saying in Urdu: Ishq aur mushq, chupaaye nahin chupte

In other words, it's hard to hide true love or the fragrance of something from the rest of the world. Sooner or later, people will sense that there is ishq in the air, just like there is fragrance from a flower/aroma.

Such is the case with our kabhie haan, kabhie na couple. By now, even the walls and windows of the Khan household know that these two idiots are crazy about each other and deeply in love. Razia, who spotted them at the Valima for a few minutes sensed that their 'mohabbat is sachchi, so why wouldn't a mother who has raised her son for the past 27 years not sense it?

We had always wondered if Najma and Dilshaad had not sensed the growing proximity between Asad and Zoya over the past few months. My best guess is that they probably had but were looking for the right moment to address it or validate it. Dilshaad has never been a pushy parent and that's one aspect of her I really appreciate. Indian parents tend to be overbearing at times, but she has always given her kids a lot of space and not interfered in their lives unless necessary. Perhaps, Asad's gesture of running to the airport and placing the engagement ring was the validation Dilshaad was looking for.

Today, we saw a very different Dilshaad. Stung by the humiliation at the Valima, she was seething with anger. Asad tried his best to calm her down but she was adamant about her pledge to get him married within 10 days. Yes, today, she did push him but not without reason. She has sensed what Asad feels about Zoya and that's why acted the way she did today. She knows her son better than anyone; she knows he hides his feelings very well. He avoided all eye contact with her but she can't forget how mesmerized he was when Zoya walked into the Valima function. She saw him dash to airport like a mad man. Wish she knew about Mangalpur and the bhang night. I bet if she did, she would have called the Qazi a while back. She can read his silence better than anyone else.

Dilshaad was again top notch today. The ideal mom, who knows that if there is one time to push her son, then it was today. Yes, her ego is at stake but more than that I feel she cares about both Asad and Zoya. That's why she insisted he speak up in front of Zoya.

Why do I have a feeling that she DID NOT appreciate Tanveer's interference today? Dilshaad was quite unhappy when Tanveer tried to convince them that Asad is just a 'hamdard' and doesn't love Zoya. If Tanveer was the sensitive and 'tehzeeb-waali'woman, that Asad and Dilshaad think she is, she wouldn't have humiliated Zoya this way. Even if Asad didn't love Zoya, any sensible and 'tehzeeb-waali'would remain silent and address this issue in private. I hope both Zoya and Dilshaad ponder about this point carefully.

Thanks to SBS, we all know what the answer will be tomorrow. Otherwise, we would all be in tenterhooks tonight.

Observations:

1. Tanu tried to topple the vases to distract everyone's attention. In other words, she tried to 'rearrange' things in the Khan household but fortunately, the vases just toppled, never broke. That means, she might create a minor hurdle- maybe hurt Zoya- but she will not be able to break her or Asad and Zoya's 'arrangement.'
2. Finally, finally- Rashid spoke up and reprimanded Shireen who has now been completely brainwashed by Razia. I am not sure if Shireen is going to learn a lesson that soon. Shireen is like a young teenager who has been brainwashed by a terrorist gang and the only way out for them is suicide or self-destruction.

1. Finally got a scene where both Asad and Zoya are introspecting. I am so glad that neither Asad nor Zoya took Tanu's observation at face value. They both know what they mean to each other and what they feel for each other. They spelt it out clearly to themselves: He thinks I am a misfit, but why? I can't let her out of my sight, but can't get too close to her either.

1. Tanu is appearing desperate now. In desperation, the best of villains make a mistake. So, is her end is around the corner?

Just to end with a sher I found on the net:

Har kitaab par uska naam likh kar chor diya tha humne,,,
Gharwaalon se itna baraa jhoot bol diya tha humne,,,
Socha tha ki Ishq chup jaayega humaara kisi kitaab ke panne mein daba kar,
Magar kya pata tha ki kabaariwaala wo kitaab wapas de jaayega humaare ghar aakar.

Omg Yaay I'm first! I love your analysis, I love it when members show a different perspective of the story. I feel a confession is around the corner because tannu will attack ASAP! And asad will go bonkers
Or
Zoya (I really wish) confronts him after he goes crazy at her almost death caused by tannu and asks why he acts so hot and cold. What's the reason for this and just keep badgering him about till he spits out his fears and zoya cups his face and tells him you were raised by the most awesome strongest women you aren't your father nor will you be. There's always that fear that you will hurt the one you love because well you love them. So should we live a lifetime alone because of something that may or may not happen.
So yeah I think a confession is on the way else why was asad holding her hand like that- caressing it and stroking it.
Zaara out! 😉 Black5Bold

ahhh..the much awaited post!!!!

Agree with everything you've written. I don't have much to add. I too think Dilshaad didn't like Tanveer's interference.. but was too polite to say it out loud..( Times when you miss Razia😆) I have a feeling that Tanveer's truth will come up in front of Dilshaad first..

Dilshaad is doing the right thing IMO.. Asad will never be able express his feelings in this lifetime.. Somebody has to speak for him...

Lovely post! Loved the sher at the end 😊

I think everyone was pretty annoyed with Tanveer today for butting in. The way Asad looked at her when she started giving her views on Asad and Zoe, especially the part when she made the "hamdardi" comment regarding Zoe, I felt he would have strangled her if she wasn't his so called childhood friend 😆

Really felt bad for Asad today, he looked so traumatised and then Dilshad repeatedly questioning him was making it all the more difficult for him at a time when Zoe was standing behind. You could see his restlessness and how hard he was trying to suppress his emotions. But Dilshad wasn't at fault either, considering the kind of humiliation she had to go through at the Walima. Also, like you said she knows that until pushed, her son will not verbalise how he feels. Since she has clearly sensed the changed equation between the love birds, she is in a way doing it for them.

Also, I loved both their monologues today. Asad we've seen a few but I wanted to see something from Zoe's end. It was so heartfelt. Asad's monologue reflected how deep-rooted his fears are of turning like his father and the turmoil he is going through about not wanting to let her go yet not wanting her to come closer to him. And Zoe's monologue that reflected she understands him and has an idea about how he feels, "jo sach aapki aankhon mein maine dekha hai vo aapki zubaan pe kyu nahi aata," and she is left wondering about what is stopping him to convey to her how he feels. Thank God! She didn't choose to go by Tanveer's words and acknowledged somewhat how she feels for him.

beautiful analysis di nd gr8 symbolism!!!!

i felt like giving a tight slap to BCA after that humdardi crap...she is making it too obvious now...hope

dilshaad has really got her intentions!!!!

i was just waiting for your post now i can sleep peacefully😆
