Absolutely!! That is the beauty of the show I feel where the behaviour of every single character is contextualised. So even if you don't like the way someone is behaving, you understand why he or she is behaving that way. And Basit has no reason to like any of Ayesha's family members. He doesn't understand that Bobby phupo must have really dug deep into her savings in order to arrange for the meal after the nikkah. He only sees them take things...take his money, make this marriage into a business deal. So for him, they are simpy greedy people.

But I think while Ayesha's mother is really setting high standards when it comes to the depiction of maternal selfishness, Ayesha's family is more than that. There is love there as well. Zoya for instance is covetous, and annoying in her selfishness, but she also understands her family. This drama creates gray characters so well, like you know Zoya is up to no good, but yet at certain moments like during dinner when she points out that she hadn't moved because cooking oil cannot burn a person or when she joins her older sisters for that group hug, it points out something very essential about what a family is. We can't choose our family members but we love them. We might be nasty to them at times, but we still love them. This is why I think when Ayesha's family comes to see her room, they are not jealous of her. Rather they are happy for her. Zoya's touching things comes from a place where she is exploring her sister's room...that sense of "haq" over something that belongs to your sister.

Bobby phuppo is ok , she is not sour , she didn't hold a grudge against her bhabhi , I like that about her ..ayeshas mom did the same with Bobby, what she did with bano..didn't let her get engaged coz she wanted a source of income .... Bobby phuppo is also genuinely happy for ayesha and she was also with bano and talal. She supports Zoya too..actually she supports everyone 😆

Zoya , well she is exactly like her mom..she only cares for herself ..kisi ka kitna bhi nuksan ho, if she benefits from it she will do it . She is perfect for ayeshas mom.. they will keep betraying one another..

I agree with the family part but not haq ..how do they have haq on anything that is ayeshas ? She is newly married , it's not ok to haq jatao on what's legit hers . Before marriage yes ..sisters share everything but it's not the same after marriage . Her make up, wardrobe , jewellery , room, house , everything has been given to her by basit and her mil. Passing on things like this without telling them is not ok ..if she gives something to her family willingly pyar se after telling basit then that's OK ..or if she is earning the money and passing on to her family then it's fine.. ..

Why did Ayesha go to the office the next day ? Bec she doesn't want to take basits money to support her family right ? Then how did she let Zoya take the dress from the wardrobe, abhi toh she doesn't consider it apna haq on the room and this stuff which she got as basits wife. Woh kaafi odd laga mujhe .

Yes they r def not jealous of ayesha , but they r also thinking that it's a window that's now opened to them so thy r enjoying it ..ayeshas mom can blackmail basit for money anytime , she would also expect that he will support them lifelong , get her daughters married. Probably they r also thinking that what's ayeshas is collectively theirs. Ayesha needs to draw a line here.

I see what you are saying and you are right that the family should not be crossing these limits... but Ayesha giving that dress away to me gave this sense of her not feeling attached to any of these things that she has got from this marriage. Had it been like five or six dresses in that wardrobe then perhaps she would have hesitated, but it was like a shop in there. She wouldn't know if a dress was missing from there because there was no attachment to any of those things. And the fact that she tells Zoya to pick whatever she wants also shows that she is not bending over backwards in awe before her rich in-laws. She feels it is okay for Zoya to feel at home in her room and it is when Basit draws the line and makes her feel that her family has been irritating him or when he says that nothing is in its place in his room now, she feels hurt. Because that makes her feel like she doesn't own any of this, even this room is not really hers.

Yaar normally we see that a self respecting heroine feels strongly about it . Ayesha isn't attached to materialistic things that doesn't mean she gives away stuff like this...she knows her family is materialistic so she must make sure basit doesn't get a wrong impression of them....tomorrow if the money is lying around will she give it to Zoya or her mom ainvayi? Like they kept the money in the envelopes , will she approve of it if she knows ? 🤔 infact from her attitude I got the impression that basit must accept her gold digger family . Like this is their normal act , apna haq jatana and basit must adjust . She didn't say anything to Zoya and her mom that's what I didn't like .

Gulab jamun scene , basit was wrong . He should have eaten it or taken a bite and kept the rest somewhere..they should have also eaten the meal on the wedding day ..valima also it was fine .. Basit has this classiest attitude which needs be worked on..dress le jao make up laga lo perfume phich phich karlo , yahan Ayesha should stop them .we know basit doesn't care abt the money ..the dress or perfume bottle ..he gave his PA one lakh phone and 30k in advance..also asked them to keep the money in the envelopes n return the contract but Ayesha must enquire abt the envelopes.

Yeah, of course, she has to behave differently in light of the specific situation she is in. But in terms of the dress specifically, I think it wasn't as if Basit gave them to her with love. It was a completely impersonal sort of a wardrobe where i think it feels all the same to her. Had her mother-in-law or her husband given them to her with some kind of love, then perhaps giving away the dress would have felt strange. But it is not like that in this case. I think in terms of money, the upcoming episode will really explore the complexities of this relationship. I think while Basit himself made the negotiation and gave money to Ayesha's mother, he resents it in his subconscious that this mother basically sold her daughter to him. And it will come out. It was already there when he calls her up to send Ayesha home almost as if he called to a warehouse to make sure the delivery was on time. Basit will understand marriage is a messy affair and when you marry someone you actually marry into the family and it works both ways. Ayesha is aware of it because she is physically in Basit's house. Basit till now is running away from this fact and he asks for time in that epic last scene.

Also I think Ayesha is very aware of the fact that if she takes money from Basit to run her family, then that will be an attack on her dignity as well as the dignity of her family. And that sense of dignity which has already taken a hit after Basit fired her from her job, will be even more hurt in the next episode.

A lot to look forward to and here I keep thinking about scenarios and motives and whatnot! Feels so good to discuss it like this with you! ❤️

Me too..its lovely to discuss it with you 😊 infact I feel so good that there is something to discuss 😆 otherwise normally we r only fargurling in fk shows 😆

Yaar ek baat batao. When basit went to ayeshas mom, he asked for her rishta . She refused , he offered to help them so that she can marry ayesha . At the back of his mind he knows he will support her family ,he said this to her in the office that it's their family now , not just hers. It's easy for him to help them with money he has loads of it , plus he has a big heart . It's ayesha who will have a problem with all this , plus the secret of 75 lakhs 😆 I think he is pissed with her mom's drama . All this buttering him up in front of ayesha and doing this Raja beta act ..he doesn't want to be a part of it. When I said all this , I kept ayesha in perspective ..she can help him not feel embarrassed and uncomfortable if she keeps her family in limit. If she finds nothing wrong in their behavior , what can I say 🤷

Wow I’m loving these discussions u guys are having...

The dress giving thing can be interpreted in so many ways... I could imagine giving away a dress to my sister so easily... she is still in the sisters share clothes mould maybe?? N rather she thought it is worth a few hundred rupee n not designer pieces...

The designer commenting on it was a nice touch but basit reaction I couldn’t get it at all?? Is it because he is the only child n doesn’t know about sibling sharing??? I found the dress thing overblown by him... what if Ayesha gave just for a day??? That perfectly fine thing to do?? How can basit react like that without confirming with his wife!??

The thing about this drama is it makes you see things from each character's pov. That makes the interpretation of actions of characters and emotions expressed by them more complex and layered. And so we can have this fun in interpreting these tiny moments and their implications like this! 😆

I think in Ayesha's case, she has been shown to be very aware of her dignity from the first episode. She scolds Zoya for letting that random guy in the neighbourhood recharge her phone. She has made a huge sacrifice for her family---giving up her scholarship and the chance of studying further. She did it so that she could be a breadwinner. Now suddenly with Basit stepping into her life, it is like even that sacrifice has become pointless. She knows he can throw money to her family (being unaware of the 75 lakhs already thrown🤪) but she also understands that while Basit will do that, he will also hold her family as being beneath him. She till now sees herself as an equal of Basit. If she ever finds out about the money already paid to her mother, that will break her. Her first night after the nikkah already showed her that he doesn't see her as anything more...all that talk of personal space from him...so she needs to assert some form of agency to feel like she is still the same Ayesha otherwise she will be reduced to simply being this empty role-playing of Basit's wife. Her family is part of who she is and had Basit treated her as his wife, he would have tried to find out about her background, the issues her family is going through. But he doesn't feel he needs to do that. For him, she has to fit into what he wants from her. Which is why in the last part of episode 11 when he comes back after thinking of what she said, his words show that he has realised a lapse in his behaviour and asks her to give him some time to adjust to this new development and learn how to maintain relationships. For a single child spoilt rotten by his father, this is a huge statement.

Hullo!!! This drama is seriously making us go crazy... we keep poring over the tiniest of things trying to decipher what the character meant and what emotions were going on inside the character at the time.

I think Basit's anger at the dress thing was not even really about the dress. By then he was really irritated by these people and it was like an explosion on his part. What I like about Feroze's acting and Basit's character is the way he shows his anger. He takes his mum aside and rants before her that too taking care not to raise his voice, and keep his face calm. Because he doesn't want the guests to see him angry. He cares what these guests at the wedding think of him. When he will scold Ayesha (as we are all expecting him to based on the promo), his display of anger will show that he doesn't really care how his words or behaviour might affect her. Because at present, in his eyes, she is someone he has total control over. That is not what a wife is. Basit is yet to realise that.

ahh thank you!! I can recreate the whole scene in my mind just listening to this music.

Loved reading all the interpretations. So glad that we have such rich characters to be able to do so.

That dress thing for me was not a big deal. I look at as Zoya simply borrowing the dress. I don't see how that lowers her self-respect. It's not like she went and spent Basit's money to buy what her sister wants. That would be a no no for her dignity and respect. Here her sister simply wants to borrow what's already there in her wardrobe. Yes the dress may have been paid for by Basit, but she doesn't mind accepting things for her self as Basit's wife....she told him that as his wife she doesn't need to work.
