Before Gul Khan made Qubool Hai -1 (with Asad and Zoya), she had a story in mind of a boy and girl who falls in love but then destiny makes the girl marry his brother. GUL LOVED THIS STORY LINE..😛😛😛

In QH1, she managed to get ZOya marry Ayaan,😡 and she wanted to move the story forward in the same direction. But given the massive fan following of Asad- ZOya (including me 😳), and the fact that fans were throwing rotten eggs (TRP sd it all) on Cv's, Gul didn't have a choice but to unite the main leads again.
Now moving on QH2. GUL is still obsessed with the girl marrying her lover's brother, because she loves that story. BUT GUL LEARNT HER LESSON. Don't experiment with the lead pair. Keep the leads together, experiment whatever you like with the second leads, at least the show will go on. Good decision GUL👏👏👏.. ELSE you would have to make QH3😃😃

I always thought that, Qh is the story telling us about Talak in Muslim comunity. I mean the divorced man get back his ex-wife only after consumated her marriage with another man. But, after reading your post, I think about it once again..yes you are right. Finally, I got the original synopsis. It is the story of destiny. The girl fall in love with a man but will end up marry his younger brother. In QH1 they showed Zoyaan marriage happend in an accidental way. But, in real story Ayaan fall in love with Zoya and Asad sacrificing his love. OMG..! Gul changed her original story just for us.! Thank you Gul Khan..!
Mil jaate hai log
Chalte hue
Jeevan ki raahein
Badalte hue
Kaise bane ye
Bandan dil jodtha hai chala
Sab raaste pyaar ke
Ye kholta he chala
Rab ne bana diya jo
Yahi rirhta coolhai
Pooche koi pyar se kehana
Haan qubool hai.

Just look at this QH title song, you are right. It was the orginal synopsis..

I disagree. I believe that Gul had always meant for AsYa to be the end game. ZoYaan was gonna be temporary from the beginning, though they screwed up real bad. Anyways the original idea had always been to get Asad Zoya back together. And Gul made it very clear from the second episode. it would be highly appreciated if people stopped blaming Gul for every bad thing happening in her shows.

Ya end game it was always Asya, but who has the patience till then, not us. We made the TRP fall, made her change the decision and made asad come and take zoya. Gul wanted to continue with ZOyaan for longer time and give us more twist and turn and give us ASYA back. But we didn't want to wait. Same thing in QH2, I am sure it would be RAHAT and HAYA at the end.. but here we will wait and see how she moves the story and how she gives us what she wants.

I said she screwed up. Zoyaan wasn't supposed to happen like it happened. It was totally crap. I am sure if ZoYaan had happened earlier, logically and got nullified. .. people won't have complained or the TRPs won't have fallen so badly. High TRPs made the show stick to Tanveer and delay zoyaan and ultimately trps fell. Had the story been told like it was planned to be...without caring about trps...it won't have been bad.

In way, it is true that Ms. Gul Khan shows us what she wants to show us...TRPs be damned.
She has many other projects in the pipeline and if the audience doesn't like what she is showing she can simply scrap it and put funding toward something else.
After Geet and IPK, she knows she can depict leads in love rather well and there is a huge fan-following for all her lead casting choices, so she is not worried. Also, as a veteran now, she knows her funding sources and likely has channel contacts built up.
Its called politics, and she is learning the game fast.

If the fate of shows were decided entirely on TRPs, many of Ms. Ekta Kapoor's shows would have been axed years ago.

I believe she got attached to QH because it was a show that had a backdrop of her personal religious community.
As she clearly stated, it was not a love-story, rather a family drama.
I think it was based on a premise of showing how multiple marriages for a man in that community brings nothing but heartache, grief, and anguish to all parties concerned... a way of depicting the injustice of it all...especially, regarding women.
She made it a point of having Zoya be modern, educated, self-sufficient, wearing jeans, etc., and having every other episode about her piety or conformation to religious dogma coming from her heart not based on her clothes or independence.
This was the real story.
The murder and cover-up and secrets of the factory were all soap-opera staples, added as spice to the broth.

In terms of the love-story, I also think that while Mr.K and Zoya were the end game, she still wanted to show the woman in turmoil of having fallen for two guys and/or the brothers having fallen for her... and perhaps the incongruity of the archaic customs surrounding the rituals around it all.
Unfortunately, casting didn't go right for her.
The actor cast as the younger brother simply did not have the acting chops, nor the looks, nor the ability to depict maturity that would have at least made him a character for whom Zoya - herself not a teenager but a sensible adult - might fall.

By the time they changed the actor the damage was done, and the new villain, Tunveer, was proving to be the reigning queen of the episodes and ultimately the show.

Many a time, the story gets twisted between concept and execution.
I think that is what happened in QH1.

I also believe that after the KSG replacement fiasco, Ms. Gul Khan finally woke up to the fact that QH1 was a runaway train and the only way to get it under control was to change tracks.
So, leap and QH2.

Now it is going as per her wishes, but I can tell she has lost her interest in the show. No longer is it a depiction of all the customs of the community with which she does not agree; instead, it is completely focused on soap-opera closure...secrets revealed, murderers caught, swindlers punished, long-lost family re-united, HEAs being set up for all, etc., all with a little dose of the daily soap-staples of romance, drama, and suspense.
At least QH2 synopsis states it is about ARI and S, and not about the family drama, so the focus has been on them.
But comparing where QH1 was at 4 months and QH2 is currently, she is heading toward a finale.
