You know what Soup it's not that I don't try to look at things from Asad's perspective.
You wouldn't believe but just before reading your post I was introspecting that whether am being too harsh on Asad. Whether it is justified to judge a person completely on one wrong decision s/he took?
No, it's not at all right to do so.
But then as soon as I give thought to what Asad did, my heart gloriously fails to have any sympathy for him. Maybe it's because Gul has woven her story so that our sympathies to a very large extent rest only with Zoya.
As a girl it's very difficult to take this out of your head that how Zoya was coerced into this fake nikaah. Yes, Asad must not have thought about how worse the situation will get. He must not have thought that Nikhat would attempt suicide for the second time. Yes, he must have gone out to reason with Zoya and take her back home with him after the matter has sorted out.
Yes, it's not at all right to expect a person to take a rational decision in an instance of time when his sister is hell bent on taking her life. Asad too did not take a rational decision. He did what he thought was the best thing to do to save his sister's life.
But in all his tension and desperation to save Nikhat's life he forgot to bring into his cognizance that it's absolutely WRONG to coerce your fiance into a marriage. It's wrong to not to take into consideration that what she wants to do. It's wrong to give her the treatment of a commodity.
Galti ho gayi keh dene se kya galti, galti nahin reh jaati.
Kya aane waale kal mein Zoya iss bharose k saath jee payegi ki chaahe jo ho jaaye Asad mera saath nahin chodenge?
If Asad had some responsibility towards Nikhat, what about his responsibility towards Zoya, who unlike Nikhat did not have an entire family to support her?
In a moment which demanded rational decisiveness Asad stumbled and took the wrong side of the road.
After they were out of that situation Asad did not find it necessary to discuss it with Zoya that for how long would she have to stay in SM. Asad only discussed it with Ayaan(for the second time Zoya's opinion, was not taken into consideration)
This was not the wrong side of road on which they stumbled upon because of the circumstances. This was insensitive and something which Zoya is def going to give her Mr Khan a very hard time for!
Coming to the points of regressiveness.
You have absolutely nailed it!
Most of my friends and also my mom have stopped watching QH simply because they are unable to accept the fact that Zoya got 'married' to Ayaan. They are still living under the false perception that a ceremony determines who a person is wedded to and then love and loyalty do not come into picture once two people have performed the wedding rituals.(Ofcourse, Ayaan and Zoya haven't but so rigid are their thoughts about marriage that they do not want to take a deeper look into the emotions of characters and have simply resigned to the fact that Zoya is married to Asad's brother and hence the show has gone down the drains)
Thank God for writers like you, Rosh and Sangeeta Di in their(Friends and Mumma) company I do not have a similar outlook.
The insightful writers of our forum have completely changed my opinion.
Naa toh aisa dikhta hai, naa hi aisa lagta ya mehsoos hota hai ki Ayaan aur Zoya ka nikaah hua hai.
The nikaah farce is a drama within this drama!
Kudos to you for writing this really lengthy but still very meaningful post👍🏼
