I waited to write this post until I had watched today's episode.
First of all, for all of those who watched the episode and enjoyed it you have every right to your opinion as I have every right to my opinion.
I watch this show eagerly and loyally and have from the very first episode. Correction ... watched ... these days I can take it or leave it and even then I don't get the same sense of enjoyment that I used to. Over the course of the last year I fell in love with the love story of AsYa and have been greatly impressed by the talent of KaBhi. In fact, even when I wasn't totally happy with the story I still watched because of how much I appreciated the acting of Karan and Surbhi.
Was it a totally new and fresh concept? No. But it was definitely executed to perfection and always left me wanting more. I can watch old AsYa scenes over and over because they are that good and I can't say that about any other show that I watch.
Was it always logical? No. But I didn't have to make excuses for it either ... these days I have to make excuses for my own lack of intelligence for watching this nonsense. And no it is not all okay now just because they showed that the Zoya Ayaan marriage was a MU because it is still illogical! They both have cell phones and *wow* only use them to say "haan". What garbage. Ayaan could have stayed with Humera and called for help. Zoya should have called her fianc ... didn't she think of how worried he would be? Nooo logic to be found anywhere! And if they go on to legitimize things as some of the spoilers suggest ... ugh!
Was I going to give this story a chance ... just like the whole Billi fiasco? Yes. But OMG what a disappointment. This is beyond anything that I can justify. And I'm sorry but my optimism was all used up in the Billi track and I don't look for the silver lining, the symbolism, or give the writers the benefit of the doubt anymore. The success of this show to date has been the love story of AsYa and for the writers to switch gears now is just unacceptable to me. There is no turning back. In fact, ever since they decided to put the spot light on Tanveer and sidelined the potentially brilliant immigration officer track the show has not been the same for me. Only recently did we have some romantic AsYa scenes and even those were overshadowed by this upcoming track. And now I am left feeling like ... that was it???? That was all we'll get? Even if the end game is AsYa ... that's not good enough. An AsYa wedding on the last epi is not good enough. I would love to watch the AsYa relationship flourish and grow within marriage. There is so much potential there. The Guffar track takes on a whole new element if AsYa are married. Or is that just me?
I feel cheated as a viewer. I feel like an idiot for tuning in to a show that I lacks logic and sacrifices its winning formula (read AsYa) at the altar of the TRP's. My only hope now is that the TRP audience speaks loudly enough for the writers to understand that a tightly written script is more important than illogical twists and that it's not too late. For now, I'll watch when the mood strikes or not ...
