Don't see how Mahabharata is a Rom-Com. Because as far as I know the genre QH is self-proclaimedly operating in is Rom-Com. By no stretch of imagination does the Mahabharata fit into this genre unless one reduces the Mahabharata to a love story between Draupadi and Arjun.
But then again if Gul can change horses mid-stream from rom-com to epic, who's to say she won't do it again, back from (perhaps teensy-weensy) epic to rom-com again.
Gul and her team have so far built their reputations on running a tight ship in terms of story-line. Now aspiring for an epic that tightness of script will be the first casualty (the signs are already evident), then will follow the viewers, and then as Gul so flexibly asserts, if it gets low trps, she'll shut the show.
So what was this interview? A warning to the classes to exit, or to the interviewer to contain their scepticism, or to the audience at large that Gul's fed up of the story so far and the moment AsYa marry she's quitting Rom-Com, or just generally to hit back at irate viewers who called her characters names, or because Ajmer failed to live up to its media blitz and Gul now wants to stir things up again??!?

That interview just reminded me that we are watching a Zee show, then a Gul Khan show, and then a daily soap, and finally maybe, just maybe a story...I watch for the story, and it's probably not on the top priority, but TRPs are. I guess we will apply dekhna hai to dekho at some point. The addiction will wear off. Viewers will find a new story to watch.

Aswini...I am not sure what will happen but I just want all of us to be ready for any eventuality

Basically, expect a story with lots of positives and negatives, lots of saazish and lots of little battles just like the mahabharat...

Nice post Sangeeta..
I don't mind QH not being about AsYa.. But I hope she doesn't ruin the characters further more just to keep high drama..

@QH being modern mahabharat.. Do you think Gul is capable of pulling it off?.. Judging by her goals, i don't think so.. Her aim is not to deliver a good story, but to gain TRPs...

Thanks Nishita. I don't mean the Mahabharata in literal sense but in the sense of a family saga with two warring brothers, clashes, evil vs good etc...yes, TRPs will of course guide Gul but I think she will keep her main storyline the same. It's working for her and will continue to work for her as long as the narrative is gripping

Mahabharata is all about actions and consequences (What we call Karma)..Nobody can escape their karma.. But the problem with today's TV (including Gul's shows) is you don't see appropriate consequences for the evil actions. What do you think is going to happen to Tanveer or Razia after their truth is revealed..? I'll tell you.. nothing.. they'll be thrown out the house...max to max they'll be in jail for 2 days and manage to get out... (Because you need them to create high drama you see) The good people are expected to be too good to the extent of forgiving the evil..(Just because they are good) If that had happened in mahabharata, there would be no kurukshetra war... 😆

A story teller should focus on telling telling her story (karma), not on ratings (fruits) 😆

I am sure the evil will face their karma. Tanveer is soon to be thrown out and Razia has already lost her daughter to a stranger at home...these litlle battles shall continue throughout the serial. We shouldn't expect a goody goody track for too long..it will all be mixed in

That's what Gul wants to show.


and also recognize for your love (apni chaahat ko pehchaan ne ki himmat)...basically recognize your true relationships and accept what you can't change

@red wat😭😕..btw sorry to butt in


The big twist might be ayaan-zoya nikaah rather than asad-zoya nikaah. Again, my guess based on Gul's interview and her original premise...i am not saying it will happen but we should be prepared

Everyone caters to the masses...Gul has no reason to be different..there is a lot of crap on TV that caters to the masses too but fails to garner TRPs...AsYa may be separated, may not be separated...ZoYaan may happen, may not happen...but she is right..Qubool Hai is predominantly not a love story...neither is it predominantly a love triangle...there are a lot of things that can cause a clash between brothers...Rashid's imprisonment brought that out...Tanveer's exposure resulting in Nikhat's marriage breaking could put Asad in a spot...Ayaan may love his brother unconditionally but he does not have to agree with everything he says...he has an opinion too...Asad and Zoya are soulmates and will remain so...but their journey is not going to be easy...we have no option but to wait and see how it plays out...QH has not even begun to talk about the real story...and after reading Gul's interview, I am really excited...she has got everyone talking again about QH😆...purpose is served


Yeah, as long as we savor this story with all the masalas it offers, we will enjoy it but if we only expect dessert, we will be disappointed

That's why I compared it to mahabharata. I didn't mean it in literal sense but in the narrative sense...a saga with all human emotions mixed in

since asad and zoya met i hoped for romantic track...aft their nok-jhoks i thought it will come...but it did not...after mangalpur i thought it will come..but it did not...after BNHH i though now pakka it will come...but again it did not...after getting engaged i thought now pakka they will show it..but again they betrayed us...during their courtship ..i thought its high time they will show some romance...but they did not...when girl said she loves him.she was broken and .they got separated ...when boy said he loves her..she left him ...when she came back to hik..i thought now pakka some romance...but no...now when tanveer's exposure news came so i thought now AsYa will be in peace..and we can witness some romance...but here gul slaps me again for dreaming about it😆...

till now i have been surviving on 5second. eye locks,catch and fall scenes...random miwas..and buckets of tears i. a hope that one day i will get some romance...but what did i get,tannu jammy prem kahani,negativity,murder spree...etc..and now what ZOYAAN...and in very last episode we will get AsYa milan...😕
and most important now will be getting less KaBhi interviews since zoe will move to paagalkhana😆


Sujata...umeed par hi duniya kaayam hai but I feel the story will still be gripping enough for most of us to stay glued. AsYa will still interact but in a more mature way and eventually be together once they have faced all the ups and downs of this story..

Again, I might be completely wrong but I just want all of us to be prepared

Just read the article! If the story is not about AsYa but about the clash between the 2 brothers, why categorize it as RomCom?!


RK, in her initial interview, Gul did say this is a family saga. If I recall, she has never called it a rom com


Agreed, a proper drama has elements of everything, not just love! But dont make it gross! If by clash, Gul is referring to Zoya being the bone of contention, then I am terribly disappointed! If they showed ZoYaan at the start and then AsYa, it would have been fine! After gradually building AsYa relationship, if they show Zoya marrying Ayaan first, it's really gross. All the dialogues by Zoya about how marriage is important to her, the heartfelt duas, Ajmer etc., are all meaningless.

In fact, the ta umr dialogue by Zoya on the day before her nikaah struck me as foreshadowing the track with Ayaan. Even though she might not love Ayaan, she will want to nibhao the nikaah with him and when Ayaan calls off the nikaah that will anger her a lot...it's an irony but that's certainly possible

Why can't they show some other kind of clash? Ayaan is as close to Nikhat as Asad is to Najma. If Nikhat is heartbroken due to Tanveer Imraan fiasco, will Ayaan blame Asad? I doubt it. Rashid-Shireen? Probably not. Say partial truth is out about gudiya factory and only the victim's identity is revealed. Will Asad trying to get justice for Zoya and her Mom and pursue Rashid again? Sigh, weak. Only major thing that will bring the two brothers apart is Zoya: considering Asad loves her tremendously.

certainly possible...this story has a lot of potential but I am just going by the original permise and dargah scene...all the initial dialogues pointed to this clash. I would love to see other reasons for the clash, but I don't think it's our choice..it's Gul's story

If Ayaan had to fall for Zoya, why show the Rajni track?! Gul's not playing fair and keeping all options open!

That's the irony again...Zoya might be an initial infatuation but later he will realize his love for Humeira

Well, I am ready for Mahabharata. We already had the Vastraharan, albeit instead of Draupadi, it ended up being Arjun aka Asad! 😆 But, please no panchali and brothers sharing the same wife, even though Arjun wins Draupadi and is her favorite. Groan!

Mahabharat to date is the most interesting saga...it has all the masala. No character is black or white. That's why we all still love it...

I'd rather see a physical separation, Zoya move into Siddiqui home and fight for her rights. Sisters bond, Razia continues to play her games etc. but, AsYa still maintain emotional bonding. Perhaps he will break his rule and visit her in THAT house, maybe chupke chupke, through the window, like Ayaan/Zoya style!

that would be great and adorable😳...but it's Gul's story😃

I guess we have to watch whatever is shown. For me the essence of this show was RomCom with some drama. If that is lost, including Zoya's chulbul personality and crazy shayaris, then I guess I'll have to use my remote control differently!
