Great post as usual!!
I liked today's epi too. I loved Asad's plate spoon analogy and Zoya's witty one liners. That scene was hilarious. 😆Zoya is on the right track and today she very smartly managed to get that parcel out from Tanveer's bathroom. I think initially her plans will backfire. As per the SBS spoilers we know that Tanveer will turn the tables on Zoya regarding the burn marks. But I think after that incident, Zoya's doubts will get stronger and she'll be more vigilant regarding Tanveer."I have two theories on that. One, she wants unconditional acceptance like we all want. She knows that unless he trusts and respects her, his words won't mean much to her. Or, second- she is still hesitant to completely open up to anyone. Her fear of rejection makes her jump two step backwards when she sees Asad getting too close. Only time will tell what's going on in Zoya's mind."
I loved how you put this across. I feel the same. We all know Asad is complicated but IMO Zoya is no less. She is equally complicated. I also get confused at times regarding her behaviour. On one hand, she questions him repeatedly to see his reaction if all the ceremonies are real or fake for him but like you said whenever he tries to get close, she steps back. She hasn't even admitted to herself yet that she loves him while all her actions clearly point that she is in love.
