Hi! So I'm new to this whole thing, but if you don't mind, I wanted to throw my two cents to this idea (which by the way, you have penned brilliantly). I'd like to add that this show is also about learning to love yourself. Adi and Zoya had their whole lives revolve around loving their respective partners (Zoya especially), and when they realize their betrayal, AdiYa are forced to learn to put themselves first. Adi may seem like he's learning to do that from his exterior, but he still punishes himself by drinking excessively and when he's not doing that, he's projecting his feelings onto Zoya, calling her his source of entertainment, when in reality he just distracts himself from... well - him. Zoya's path is a little more easier to see where after she figures out what Yash had done to her, she goes on a path of self-loathing, with having Mahi as an excuse to survive. This brings me to the current track that they're going on. Yes it's a little foolish, and is definitely ott to catch some ratings, but, if the cvs know what they're doing (which I really hope that they do because LOOK AT ALL THE POTENTIAL), this track is simply leading to AdiYa realizing how dependent they are on others for their own happiness, and how with each others support, they can find a confidant in one another, but still learn the ropes to leading lives as individuals who can find happiness for themselves. I know thora zyada ho gaya, but I've been genuinely interested in an Indian TV show after a really long time, so I hope that it lives up to expectations and doesn't become the saas-bahu kitchen politics nonsense that seems to be the general format for these shows over the past years
Welcome, Jasleen! Although you're new to this whole thing, your two cents have been well worth it! I totally agree with you and can definitely add 'learning to love yourself' to the list because truly Adi and Zoya need to be kinder to themselves.
We have to remember that there are so many secrets still hidden and we may not know where their actions are heading because we don't know what's ahead. There's still too many unknowns especially with Mr. Hooda and Mr. Siddiqui who hint at being instrumental in the demise of Pooja and Yash. Again, another mystery to unfold.
As for me, I only started watching Indian serials a year ago. I'm Canadian and speak only English. Don't know Hindi at all, although, since watching these shows, I've learned a lot! I really enjoy them because they're different than the North American soap; first of all, it's a different culture, with all the hand gestures, it becomes very animated during conversations and my favourite - the mysterious eye-lock that brings on the wind even inside a house! That's true love!
Anyway, I'm enjoying it π
