Mumbai: Oops! Zoya-Asad lost second chance to marry, thanks to wily Tanveer! Such worn-out twists and turns are spoiling 'Qubool Hai', otherwise an entertaining show. But its writer-director-producer Gul Khan doesn't think so, as she has her finger on audiences' pulse and adds that real twist is yet to come.
First Tanveer's manipulation stopped Asad, played by Karan Singh Grover, from reaching the venue to marry Zoya (Surbhi Jyoti), and Zoya is so heartbroken that she runs away to Ajmer to nurse her wounds.
Guilty and concerned, Asad tracks her down and the two reunite in Ajmer.
To make an impact, the show's writer-director-producer Gul Khan took the pain of travelling to Jaipur, Ajmer and Pushkar to shoot at real locations, including the areas around Sufi shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti in Ajmer, in scorching heat with the lead actors, and it paid off well with TRPs soaring.
Now, when the two sorted out misunderstandings between them and agreed again to marry, Tanveer, played by Amrapali Gupta with aplomb, struck back with another devious plan and succeeded in stopping the wedding once more.
Why Asad, an astute businessman, remains nave towards his deceitful childhood friend Tanveer's tricks?
Pat came reply from Khan: "Because I want him to be like this."
Tell her that such melodramatic turn of events have become common on the small screen, and she dismisses it saying: "It's rating well. We are catering to masses who do not identify with high-class realism. They need to see high-voltage drama and emotions."
"If the ratings are not coming, you have to shut the show," she added matter-of-factly.
She revealed that soon Tanveer will be exposed and they will show reason behind her bad behaviour. She added that 'Qubool Hai', which has completed about 190 episodes, is essentially not about love.
"The real story will begin after 200 episodes. Right now we are just setting up. The real story is not about Asad-Zoya, it is about the clash between the two brothers - and we are soon going to show that," she said and added that the show will have a long run on the small screen and the real concept will open up soon.
Set in Bhopal, the show highlights two different sensibilities and schools of thought through two families.
If Asad's family is modern and educated, his dad Rashid (Vaquar Shaikh), who abandoned his mom Dilshad (Shalini Kapoor Sagar) many years ago, to marry Shireen (Shabnam Sayed), lives with his in-laws who are conservative and orthodox.
Khan, who produced 'Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon' and ongoing series 'Arjun' under the 4 Lions Films, is from Jabalpur, a small town in Madhya Pradesh, and lived in a joint family, therefore, she was keen to tell this kind of story.
"It is very natural for me to tell the story. I wanted to capture a family where 'sage-sautele hote hain'. Children are close to each other, but elders are bickerish."
She has brought her real life experiences through two families.
"In every family you have relatives who have studied abroad and have modern thinking and there are people who have lived in small town and are conservative," she said.
Khan says that the female lead Zoya is her own reflection.
"Actually she is completely me - a girl caught between traditional values and modernity and trying to find a balance," said Khan and added that as far as Asad's character is concerned, she had seen guys like Asad around her.
"I have met guys who are well-to-do, educated but at the same time when it comes to their women, they are conservative...," she added.

so here goes my clarification...
@bold: so tanveer is gonna be revealed and so one thorn is out and asya are free.. to romance or marry or what ever it is...
as tanveer is out no problem for asya to get united and that may be the special for 200 episodes...
@blue: she said that plot is not about asad and zoya it is between asad and ayaan.. so the reason cant be zoya.. if the reason is zoya then it is gonna be nothing other than a love triangle and which cant carry the essence of story...
the main concept of story is reuniting the ever hating families and zoya will be a crucial part of it as she is the connecting link exactly between asad and siddique...
if zoyaan happens then asad seperates from ayaan and nothing can happen so its asya always..
and before all this to happen she need to clear humeira track as that cant be like that before something big happening and then nikhat imran and important thing tanveer and imran.. so i guess we will get tanveer exposed on 200 episodes and wish to get asya nikaah too on that episode...
and guys GUL is not ekta who wil ruin her own creations.. she made the best jodis and the recent ZGA award for the best jodi might have made it clear to her that asya are loved by many and will only watch them.. so she is not mad to ruin her own superb jodi just for trp.. that is always a game played by ekta that is seperation and reunion of leads and the show trp's clearly show that people love something substantial drama and not just silly drama...
