Dreams & Nightmares: Epi May 1
There is a saying in Hindi: Ghee seedhi ungli se na nikle, to ungli tedi karni padti hai
In other words, if you can't accomplish a task the correct way, you might have to use devious ways.
Dilshaad and Badi B were the star performers today. Both managed to accomplish their dreams, albeit in a less than straight forward way.
DILSHAAD: She has been on a mission to get Asad married since she has returned from the Valima. In reality, I think the moment he walked into the door with Zoya with the engagement ring a week ago, she had started weaving this dream. Of course the showdown at the Valima gave that urgency to her dream. While yesterday, she gave her decision some thought, today, she acted defiant and theatrical to make sure her dream of getting Asad and Zoya married would come true. She was adorable, back in her teenage tantrum queen avatar. She refused to give Asad a chance to put forward his point. Dilshaad locked herself in her room like a teenager does when a parent tries to reason with them. When Asad and Zoya walked into her room to reason with her, she ignored their plea and instead clicked their photograph for her wall paper! Talk about a 50+ year old 15 year old! I loved it though. Her fake fainting attack was the icing on the cake. Saas bahu could one day enter a nautanki competition. They will be quite a team. Raabert and Mona don't stand a chance when saas bahu will be in action one day.
So, was the engagement a dream, reality or someone's nightmare?
I think it was a dream come true for Dilshaad. Yes, the editing was unprofessional but it might be a channel issue rather than PH issue. The PH is usually professional and handles important scenes very carefully, so I would like to blame it on Zee.
BADI B: Badi B was in her element today. I really enjoyed her playfulness and games she played with Razia today. Razia woke up from her dreams (nap) and came face to face with a nightmare. I am curious to see how she looks with her 'baab cut' tomorrow. Frankly, these women have too much time on their hands. They need to get a job or have little grand children at home to take care of. Even charity work could keep them busy. Khaali dimaag shaitaan ka ghar.
ASAD & ZOYA: They were back to their usual selves but with a difference. Asad patiently listened to her shayaris, held her pizza in his palms, pondered (although briefly) over her A+ plans of avoiding the nikaah. I think Asad mian is just finding reasons to hang out with her, poke her and try to catch her off guard in the hope she would say: Yes, I want to marry you Mr. Khan. He was not happy when she said 'nakli nikaah kar lete hain." He really wants her to say she wants a real marriage.
Zoya, our resilient heroine was back in her element too. I think Dilshaad should get the credit for this. Yesterday, Dilshaad mentioned that Asad likes this girl and even though he doesn't express it, she can read it in his eyes. Zoya has always sensed this was the case, but a validation from her dear phoophi has calmed her nerves. I think more than Asad, she was anxious to say 'qubool hai.' From her body language and expressions, she does desire this relationship. Even during the engagement ceremony, she asked him,"soch leejiye Mr.Khan, yeh ab nakli sagai nahin hai."
I think that's why she even suggested , "nikaah kar lete hain' when they were running out of ideas, or rather she didn't want to think of any alternatives. Of course she back pedaled and said,"mera matlab hai nakli nikaah." We all know, she would never settle for a nakli nikaah,and neither would Asad. She dragged her feet when Asad wanted to reason with ammi. Zoya, my darling, looks like you are ready to become the bahu of the Khan khaandaan. If only Asad would say it loud and clear.
TANVEER: She had another nightmare today. Asad and Zoya did get engaged formally. Tanveer even acknowledged that why does Zoya keep coming back into Asad's life despite all her efforts? Tanveer is ready to strike big. Let's hope Dilshaad's dream comes true and Tanveer continues to experience one nightmare after another.
In other words, the sagai was NOT a dream. It's reality and will be the biggest reason Asad and Zoya will never ever commit to anyone else in their lives. The can fake their feelings but not the ceremony or its significance.
