Asad & The Baby Trap : July 18
How in the world do you manage to come up with such apt titles!! 👏
In this world there are two types of people:
Shareef and the ones who take advantage of the shareef.
This dialogue reminds me of AB in Bunty Aur Bubli!! How filmy of you!! 😆
Our debonair and very shareef, Mr. Asad Ahmed Khan, a well-respected man in Bhopal has unfortunately befriended someone who has no qualms taking advantage of his sharafat.
It's his sharafat, that has prompted him to break his, Zoya's, Ammi's and Najma's heart just so he can give his name to Tanveer's unborn child.
Sharafat and Bewakoofi, if you ask me!
It's his sharafat that made him believe what Tanveer told him the other day.
It's his sharafat that he hasn't asked for a proof or report of a positive pregnancy test from Tanveer. What if she was bluffing about the pregnancy itself? Being shareef, once he was married to Tanveer, he wouldn't even divorce her.
It's his sharafat that even in his prayers he is asking Allah to support him in his decision.
It's his sharafat that he feels unworthy of Zoya.
Sharafat and low self esteem, thanks to the stunt pulled by Papa Rashid 17-18 years ago!
It's his sharafat that he feels so guilty that while announcing his nikaah to Tanveer, he couldn't even meet anyone in the eye.
It's his sharafat that even when he finds out Tanveer's intentions of hurting Zoya, he wouldn't change his decision of marrying her because of the baby.
Now that would be total bewakoofi! Which sane person will harbor a murderer in their house: pregnant with his child or not?
In the real world, in this day and age, are people still this shareef?
Nope! Everyone has a streak of selfishness.
If yes, is it worth it? There are more vultures like Tanveer (maybe not that extent) than people as gullible as Asad.
Once Tanveer's pregnancy farce is busted, how will it affect this man?
Hopefully, he will become more worldly wise and realize that one can never trust anyone on face value.
He will be initially shocked and crushed, then guilty for not believing Zoya and then hopefully ecstatic as he reunites with the love of his life. 😉 I told you I am a hopeless romantic. Yes, he should become more worldly wise but not lose the sharafat that makes him special.
Maybe, he will become just a tad bit less shareef. I would love to see a shareef badmaash avatar of AAK especially after he is married to Zoya J
I'd love to see a shareef, intelligent (and pigs will fly!!), naughty Asad. But only for Zoya. He can continue to be shareef for the rest!
He is not a coward but just too shareef for a world where people like Tanveer reside.
Never a coward. It was more difficult to sacrifice his love, as evident in his prayers today.
Tanveer, on the other hand, has no sharafat whatsoever.
I have choice bad words for her, but my sharafat is holding me back! 😉
She has no guilt, no sharam, no fear of Allah, no affection for anyone and no empathy for her best friend's plight.
Quite a piece of sh.., uh I mean work. Quite a piece of work!
Does she even care for her baby?
I highly doubt it. Never saw a scene with her talking to the baby or caressing her tummy. No bonding whatsoever! Don't get me started on her crazy stunts: running like Milkha Singh, falling on her tummy, etc. etc.
(BTW: ripe papaya is Ok in pregnancy, it's the unripe papaya that can cause uterine contractions that can result in miscarriage or preterm labor)
Yup, I ate ripe papaya a couple of times and nothing untoward happened, except being emotionally blackmailed by my Mom! My bro's wife could not stop eating papaya. I actually asked by ObGyn and GP about it. Both being American men, knew nothing about it. In fact my Ob scoffed at the idea. Ignorance! But it's a prevalent notion in India, especially raw papaya. But as sometimes even ripe papaya (not the super ripe ones) has some unripe portion, preggers are asked to play it safe and stay away from the fruit
As the holy month of Ramzaan has just started, it's just the beginning of the war of the shareef vs non shareef, good vs the evil, innocent vs the cunning and selfish vs the selfless.
Will this baby deliver the final justice to Asad? The innocent baby in Tanveer's womb has not committed any sin; children are closer to Allah than anyone else; so while all these wars continue to take place during Ramzaan, I feel it's the baby that is going to help Asad out of this baby trap.
Justice shall either come in the form of a sick baby/miscarriage/Tanveer's hospitalization as she won't take care of herself/identify of the real father is somehow revealed. I am not sure how it will play out but I strongly feel that the trap itself is going to help set Asad free before it's too late'..
Miscarriage is fine, but no sick baby please. Innocent baby should not suffer. 😭 I feel justice will be served if Tanveer gets married to Imraan. Hasina ( who the heck named her that 🤣 ) Bi would be a purrrfffeecctt MIL for Billi!
My favorite scenes of the day:
- Zoya and Dilshaad scene. Aww. Dilshaad is by far the best mom and MIL! How poignant was that scene? Zoya oblivious in her grief, unaware that Dilshaad was sitting on her bed. Until her tears fall on Z's hand. Double Aww! Was that a symbolism: Dilshaad asking Zoya never to leave them?
- Zoya' prayers! Yay! She did choose love over Abbu. That's why she said give me the strength to fight for my love. After Ajmer and all these duas and prayers, they have to unite!
- Asad's prayers! KSG gets very little dialogues but man! Does he pack a punch! His voice modulation and the way it was cracking when he asked for strength and hoped not to weaken when he looked into Zoya's eyes!! It broke him to break his marriage with Zoya. We are going to see more waterworks tomorrow while he gazes longingly at her earring.
BTW, Zoya's behavior is still baffling. Did she think she had time or is she quiet in deference to the holy month? Now that he announces the marriage and she'll probably find out about the pregnancy tomorrow, will she get her act together? Why is she forgetting that Tanveer has made so many attempts on her life and cannot be trusted? I want the waterworks to stop already. Please Gul, bring on some light moments, some nok zokh, some romance, some comedy (no slap stick please). End this Billo Rani track already!! (What in the world is the story behind that name?!)
