I thought they did go through all the sacrifices, pain and sufferance during the Ajmer track...this track was not necessary. They could have proceeded with the father story once Asya were married...that would have had the greatest impact. Zoya doesn't really have to be in SM to find out about her dad?
I am afraid that Asad would ever prioritize Zoya or regret...Ajmer should have changed him for good. I am really interested to see how Gul justifies Asya after a man literally traded a woman. There cannot be an Asya after that...definitely not in a civilized society where woman has self respect and here Zoya is portrayed as an independent American. I am an American and I find it extremely offensive to see such a display.
Yes, Priyanka..they could have gone ahead with the abbu story...if they were planning to finish up the story in teh next 3 months...but they want longevity...so what do they do?
Create a totally fictitious situation which would take Zoya away from Asad, at Asad's insistence...him asking her to trust him blindly.
What did Ajmer prove?
That Asad's persistence and prayers brought him Zoya, whom he had to give up for his sense of duty- the baby.
And love triumphs over evil, because the lovers were reunited by divine intervention.
What is Zoyaan about?
Again, it is the DEMAND that society and religion made on them...all 3 of them...in the form of the qasi and Haseena Bee...with them all getting blackmailed and manipulated with Nikhat's depressive episode...
Here Asad did not choose between love and duty...HE CHOSE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH...One person was dying, and the only answer seemed to be ALL THREE OF THEM GIVING UP A PART OF THEIR LIVES for her...and it seems to have paid off..But had he imagined it would be at such a great cost to him... and Zoya, most of all?
Zoya is an independent American woman. Do all independent American women come down to India and put their lives at risk to save a girl who was blatantly being married off to her rapist with the blessings of her family? Obviously, Zoya is not a typical American woman or Indian woman!😉
