Hey Rogie🤗.
Better late than never😆.
I hardly watch serials n when I saw Zoya wearing jeans I said to myself that I have to watch this one coz after seeing so many serials off and on I've come to a conclusion that salwar kameezes = rona dhona😆.
Jokes aside I thot Qubool Hai was a story of a 'progressive Muslim family' which we probably saw in the beginning. Zoya coming to Bhopal fm NY and having a mind of her own, standing up for her rights and speaks against injustice on women (Najma's college epi where she saves her fm goons), is brave and fights with goons to save Dilshie, puts Asad in his place when he acts like a jerk (mini skirt epi), takes her own decisions etc.
N then you have the old fashioned Asad who is egoistic, narrow minded, has his set of beliefs which he will not give up for anything in the world and is a complete jackass to Zoya. But his character showed a fantastic growth and the CVs showed it well and in a logical manner. I've yet to see character growth in Zoya and Ayaan.
Now I feel this progressive Muslim family thingy in the synopsis was a COMPLETE EYEWASH. What is the serial reduced to? All that so called 'progressive thinking' that they showed in Zoya's character seems to have vanished in thin air.
Zoya is being loaned. Is that progressive thinking? It is highly regressive n not acceptable to me as a woman with self-respect. What's worse is that Zoya's mouth was zipped all this while and suddenly this zip broke after the entire drama. So where was this progressive Zoya all this while?
The character growth in Asad has come crashing down after he decided to loan Zoya to his kid bro. His character is butchered and so is Zoya's. I din't think very highly abt Ayaan's character earlier and I hate him even more today.
As someone rightly said that a whole lot of women watch these daily soaps and can probably 'identify' with 'atrocities' on women and hence contribute to TRPs. Hence glorifying the woman and 'degrading' the man is appreciated coz in some households the men harrass their women n not just the saas or nanad.
I don't think Badi bi has contributed anything to the story till now except for taking Zoya to Ayaan's room a cpl of days ago 😆n that too is negligible and hasn't added to the story at all. The Razia, Badi bi immature fights cd've been totally avoided. Badi bi was not reqd in QH AT ALL.
I have ABSOLUTELY no sympathy for Ghafoor n Rashid for the sins of their past n there is no way I'll have any even if they are redeemed.
I've always hated Zoyaan rite fm the synopsis (being old school) and started watching QH coz the synopsis mentioned:
1) social drama 2) rom com and 3) progressive Muslim family.
Only 1) is left and 2) and 3) have been thrown out of the window.
And the social drama now is based on Zoyaan which is shown in the most distateful and illogical manner which makes me hate it even more. I don't think I can accept Asya after this.
I don't watch QH with the same passion I used to watch it earlier. It's jus that I watch it out of habit, indifferently and with no feelings for any of the characters.
I'm curious to know how this mess is gonna be solved.
Btw great post👏
