I mean she is in love with a guy that u think does not deserve any love and respect!
I agree to some points that you just said, Nkapoor3. Whatever Asad is, Zoya is not less responsible here. Asad has always been portrayed as a typical patriarchal male family head, who considers "his" women as his "property". Zoya, the supposedly progressive, has never questioned that in this show. If she is accepting all the crap that is being dished out now, it is because she wants it so and she accepts him as her guardian or whatever.. she is not standing up against any accepted male patronizing here, imo.
However, that does not make the whole show and its characters any less "regressive".
