Very nice post, Sangeeta!
Kismat kaun banaata hai? Aadmi ya oopar waala?
Do we decide our destiny or does God decide for us?
I think God decides but leaves the decision to us mortals to act or not act on it.
Najma: Even if Imran is her destiny, she had decided to severe ties with him three years ago. That was her decision and so far, we think, she was comfortable with that decision. Why then, is her decision being challenged three years later? Is it destiny or her weakness? Only time will tell. Najma is lucky to have a family like hers. Her brother, ammi and Zoya all love her more than anyone else in the world. They all want what's best for her.
The CVs need to get the timing right. Najma's age is the one age that cannot be disputed on the show. They have repeatedly said she was 1yr old when Rashid left them 17yrs ago. She is 18 yrs old now! This disparity is annoying the heck out of me. How in the world is her classmate Faizu a Civil Engineer and also has a job? Minimum age for an engg graduate in India is 21yrs not 18yrs. I can't get over this loophole!! Yes, I should overlook it. Grrr!
Yes, she has a very loving and supporting family. Wish the test of this love wasn't wasted on Imran.
Asad raised a great question today- jab sagai toot gayi, tab usey tumhari yaad aayi?
Very valid question! Asad, who has recently realized what being in love means, hit the nail on the head with that question. Will Najma ponder upon this question or get swayed by her emotions? Asad will of course do what's best for his sister. He is caught in a dilemma because Nikhat is as dear to him as Najma. I am glad the writers didn't keep anything hidden and everything is out on the table. At least, Asad knows where Nikhat-Imran-Najma's equation stands at the moment. Hopefully, he will help guide his sister in the right direction- help her find her destiny, whatever it might be- Imran or perhaps, NOT Imran.
I slightly differ with you here. I took Asad's statement as, 3 yrs ago he left you, got engaged to someone else, now wants to get you back? How can Nikhat be as close to Asad as Najma? Ayaan maybe. But Nikhat and Noozat, I don't think so. He loves them but Najma will always be more special. It's just not the blood relationship, but the fact that he has been her father figure, a proxy father if you may. She is his baby sister. The only one of his siblings who has always been with him. The only one that he has a special nickname for - Tamatar!! I think he'll stand by and let her decide. He just re-united with the love of his life. Life is currently rosy. I doubt he'll try to break his favorite sister's dreams. Wish he did. I don't want Hasina to become Najma's MIL. 🤢
Nikhat: Since her engagement to Imran, Nikhat has assumed that Imran is her destiny, her true love and her life partner. She has ignored his shortcomings and even has faith in his ability to stand up for their love. As they say, love is blind and there is no perfect example of this than Nikhat. Despite seeing his spineless act, Nikhat defended Imran's actions today as she is unfortunately in love with the illusion of Imran rather than the real person, Imran. Ayaan, her brother, who loves her a lot, after seeing her plight, reassured her that if Imran is indeed her destiny then she would definitely unite with him. Perhaps, Ayaan can relate to destiny better than ever before. Humeira's case has definitely made him realize what happens when one ignores the knock of destiny on their door.
Agreed. Nikhat did wonder that Imran is capable of standing up to his beliefs and principles ( huh?? 😕 ), then why he didn't do it for her! Duh!! Wake up and smell the coffee, Honey!
Hopefully, he will help guide his sister in the right direction- help her find her destiny, whatever it might be- Imran or perhaps, NOT Imran.
After Imran, will the 2 fight over Farhan?!
Imran: I cannot have sympathy for this man. I don't know what's in his destiny but as of now, I hope neither Nikhat nor Najma are his destiny. This man needs to grovel, redeem, develop a spine and stand up for himself before he can stand up for love or someone else.
I really want to see him getting hitched with Tanveer! Hasina Bi can get her gori bahu. Woh itni gori hai, ke uski ek aankh bhi bilkul gori hai!
Precap: Ya Allah! Finally, Asad and Zoya have ventured out of their teen years and are in their twenties. What a passionate hug! Yes, nikaah kar lee jiye na jaldi- ASAP!!!!!
You are very generous. Teen? I thought it was more like tween! 😆 Awesome hug. I must have watched it like 10 times. Pathetic! Look who is behaving like a teen now!
Favorite scenes:
1. Asad and Zoya's eye communication was at it's best today. Just like a hubby and wife.
Exactly. What understanding. Brilliant acting without words! For me it was the highlight of the show!
2. A proud Zoya when she saw Asad's sensitivity towards Najma
3. Zoya consoling Najma. Najma is indeed a baby and will definitely need a lot of support in the coming weeks. Thank God for Zoya.
I actually liked the way she referred to Najma as baby. That's what I call my child!! 😆 I still call my 21 yr old nephew Honey!! 😆 Zoya has taken over the mantle of the bahu already! I loved how she tried to play mediator and grabbed Asad's arm when he rushed towards Najma.
P.S: So, there is indeed a Farhan bhai on his way ! Destiny or a red herring? Time will tell.
