Kudos to the CVS for showing Zoya's Shades of Grey

I know many/most of you are super annoyed at Zoya's insensitive behavior towards Nikhat, and so am I! But who I'm not annoyed with is the CVs- in fact, I'm really glad they're doing this, because I find in other serials the CVs have a habit of making everything their heroines do completely justified and mahaan and like there is nothing they can do wrong- every decision they make, no matter how twisted the justification, somehow turns out to be the right one.

Not so with Zoya Farooqui. This girl, though she's been through a lot in her life, has also been a sheltered only child who has always been loved and handled like a princess and has never had to deal with the complexities of a joint family. What's hers is hers and the people who are her own are her own and everything else is unimportant, from her perspective.

Moreover, she's from the US and speaks her mind openly and frankly and being the exuberant, outspoken, and mouthy girl that she is, takes things at face value and doesn't dig deeper into the subtleties of human interaction- so the subtle pain of someone like Nikhat, who masks her grief with poise and dignity, is beyond her comprehension.

Perhaps Zoya's insensitivity and emotional obtuseness seems like a recent development, but it really isn't anything new. The difference is that in the past, we thought she was in the right- and this time, we know she is clearly in the wrong. And the CVs are not above showing that she can be wrong, and that's what I love about what they're doing.

Zoya's fun and wonderful and loving- but she's also human, and all humans have shades of grey. The CVs aren't trying to convince us that she's perfect or in the right- they're clearly showing her immaturity, Najma's immaturity, and how close-mindedly and foolishly she is approaching the situation.

And though it makes me hate her just a little bit for being so purposefully blind to Nikhat's pain, especially given her recent encounter with heartbreak, I definitely think it's necessary to show the ways in which Zoya herself needs to mature before she's ready to marry Asad. Asad has changed SO MUCH from the beginning, but Zoya's still the same. His changes were part of the first act. Her changes will be part of the second act. And I can't wait to see her grow up.

Until then, I appreciate that the CVs aren't trying to show that she's perfect- because nobody is!

Very good poit! I also agree with you! Im happy they showed zoe isnt perfect because tv shows tnd to alwas show leads as these perfect people who correct others mistakes and are always sacrificing and this and that.. But agree that showing not o ly zoe but imperfections jn asad and aayan as we and i. All the characters really is COMENDABLE.

thanks for sharing a different Point Of View..it was actually great to read...i m thinking alike why she should even care of them..Zoya even never interracted with nikhat for for that matter with entire family leaving ayaan..so for zoya mostly it matters is Najma's happiness...thats how it is in real...
where for asad he knows his step siblings well...for him being worriing is different.

i agree with u, they are clearly showing us that zoya is wrong

Omg, you just said exactly what I've been trying to articulate for ages.
I agree with you so much, its not even funny.
I'd just like to point out, that she can't be expected to understand the complexities of even a joint family. She has never been in the situation herself, and the CVS are keeping in with her character when they show how she is attempting to meddle in the scenario which she really shouldn't meddle in.
It just made Qubool Hai, in my opinion, much more appealing to me as a show.

It's not shades of gery ...total trust of love...zoya is an orphan and has no siblings she found one in najma and is looking the best for najma...in her perspective she saw only Imraan love but not character, if see comes ot know about Imran and tannu pregnancy she will be the first to make najma walk out..she is true for heart and love. She has to know more of relationships when it comes and I think cvs wills how that when zoya past is out.

I agree.

qubool hai is totally different,yahape hero and heroine hi galtiye karte hai, ajtak sab asad ko bash karte the now zoyas turn

Not only Zoya but all of them are grey and not perfect..And believe me this is the best thing about QH and I loved it.. Seriously, I dnt like characters who act like god and sacrifices and all that shit.. So I can actually accept all these characters with their flwas like we do with ppl in our life because noone in real is perfect.. But many times looking at forum's outburst I doubt, if audience can accept flawed leads in the show..
