Based on how the story has been revealed so far and how the characters have been introduced its actually too hard to believe that Pooja and Yash actually were having an affair. The makers have presented such layers in the very first episode that its hard to digest that the things that are made so glaringly apparent (ironic given the glare from Aditya) is true.
The female leads
1. The docile & willful Zoya. The pottery loving, Yash loving Zoya. The one who lives a peaceful existence in a small town almost like a fairy tale. A perfect life with a perfectly pampering husband who bends to her every wish and understands her every nuance. What more could a girl wish for...but somewhere there is a lack of understanding on Zoya's part...a lack of awareness of what is actually going through her husband's mind. She doesn't see his worried expressions. She brushes off his annoyance at the dirt and asserts her need for intimacy. She doesn't understand what could be more important to her husband on their wedding anniversary but doesn't suspect anything amiss. She is blissfully unaware of anything wrong with her world. But she is a woman of strong instincts...she feels an unease deep down like her perfect world is about to shatter. How can a woman with such instincts be so unaware? But on contrast the minute she comes across an Aditya, the willfullness in her shows its color. She doesn't give in or give up. She runs after what she wants for herself, what she believes to be hers. She would chase him till the end of the earth for what belongs to her. A promising trait for a leading character...one that is sure to set the stage on fire when pitted against the captain.
2. The enigmatic Pooja. The woman who indulges her husband's immature ways and forgives him without batting an eye...or is it a strong indifference to his feelings towards her? He doesn't seem callous a husband to warrant such indifference but she doesn't raise a single note of complain when he gets her birthday wrong...a strong contrast to the way Zoya reacts to Yash's leaving on their anniversary. Pooja's need for privacy compared to Zoya's open communication the recent distraction she has noticed in Yash. Pooja's choice to give important to a career (assuming the exhibitions was related to her work) over spending time with her husband.
3. The troubled Yash. Even on his anniversary something pulls him away from his loving, dotting wife. What troubled him so, when he seems so indulgent in every other way, one who works hard staying away from the security of home most of the week to make it in this world. What caused him to pull away...it didn't seem as if he was looking for an excuse but he was definitely hiding something from Zoya. Zoya finding the ring did startle him enough to confirm that the ring was not meant for Zoya. But otherwise a calm persona who perfectly pampers the docile side of Zoya and keeps her unaware of the troubles he is facing.
4. The spirited Aditya. The guy who is like a gun shot, moving until he hits a target. He is the pole opposite of Pooja's indifference. He is sure about what he is capable of and what his limits are in tolerance. Challenges are a piece of cake for him and liars are his enemies. But can he truly tell when someone lies to him? As much as he hates lies, he doesn't probe into secrets that others want to keep. He doesn't suspect for a second when his wife wants her privacy...he respects her need for space...trusting his childhood sweetheart completely because after all, he knows all there is to know about her. Is it his blind trust or is he shining so brightly in his own eyes that he fails to identify with his wife? A contrast to Yash who easily understood what Zoya was trying to make with the clay when no one else could...but here Aditya cannot tell that he literally has his wife on edge when he threatened to open her diary. A captain who is in absolute command when he has hundreds of lives in his hands but who seems completely out of his wits when he is home with his family. The discord in his family is palpable only as much as the harmony in Zoya's. So its natural that he would draw the most obvious conclusion when faced with the possibility of infidelity while Zoya doesn't want to face the possibility that her faith in her relationship was wrong.
Other characters:
It is interesting that both fathers are seen as villains in this love story. Adi's father makes a pointed comment regarding his wife leaving separately when both were meant to go to the same destination...leaving Adi to defend their relationship with an angry swipe at his father. He defends by being offensive. On the other hand, Zoya pleads for her father's validation of her choice and leaves dejected when she doesn't receive it. But it is interesting that in both cases, the fathers are voicing an opinion contrary to popular belief. What is it that Zoya's father knew about Yash of what was to happen in a "few days"? Was that a random comment or was there more to it? Why does Adi's father sense a discord between Pooja and Adi when no one else sees anything but a perfect portrait.
It is obvious that Adi shares a close bond with his mother-in-law. And the hug shared between Pooja and her mother-in-law was also telling in the closeness between them. But there was a very slight almost negligible hesitation when she hugged Adi. What was that hesitation about?
This will be a fun and mystery filled adventure. I can't wait for the rest of it. Finally have a show with so many layered characters. And Harshad and Jenny are amazingly casted. They play their roles to perfection each time. Loving it.
