Or maybe because i already had a fixed image of how zashaf should be and they weren't anything like that?
For the first time i found a tv adaptation better than the book, and not because of the actors but because of the direction and execution. Like in the novel Zaroon actually slaps kashaf and i agree with the director that a woman like kashaf will never marry a man who had slapped her, so she changed it. In another scene i remember Zaroon calling kashaf and saying i am sending my parents over with a marriage proposal and the conversation that followed between them was more like a threat than anything about love which is so different, and in a good way in the show. Also, if i remember it correctly kashaf's sisters are total losers in the book unlike the show where they are so sensible.
I will admit if the show had followed the book closely i would never have loved zashaf or zgh the way i do today. So a big thank u to the director for putting in some fab changes and making them relevant to today's times and youth and adding a little positivity to the story rather than making the couple depend on sheer dumb luck alone.
I agree with you...infact i don't know how would it be like in original but the transcription made the story very dragging, infact the series is also a bit dragging at parts, but yeah for the first time did I like the adaptaion more than the real work...may be because I couldn't read the whole thing and in its original language...
I don't know whether I should base by regards about the book on the reviews that are available...but I can't help it as I can't read the book...
In one of the review the critic mentioned this traumatic episode between kashaaf and zaroon...something the series avoid is this that..
"Kashaaf like any other human being, has some likes and dislikes. What she wears is naturally one of them. However, Zaroon wants to change that. He wants her to live the way he wants her to live! And so what does he do? He tells her once, he tells her twice, he tells her thrice and then he loses it. Just because he does not like the colour of her sarri and she wants to wear it to a dinner, he actually psychologically assaults her! He expects her to listen, but when she doesn't, instead of understanding that she wants to dress the way she wants to dress, he imposes his will on her by physically dragging her to the sink, grabbing her sarri and, literally burning it in front of her eyes! He tells her to wear something else and get ready in 15 mins, otherwise the consequences will be dire. She tries to say something, but she gets told that he will cut her tongue out' if she says a word!"
Infact it is after this episode that apparently Kashaaf stopped communication with zaroon and stopped sharing her problems...I am glad that the series zaroon is just not like this and neither is kashaaf so weak...
But I hope some day I can read the whole novel and not half of it...and judge the book my self...
