This happened because Faris rode a motorcycle with a loud noise. The loud sound of Faris's motorcycle every time he headed to the campus mosque for prayer made Zoya dislike him even more.

Although Zoya initially hated Faris, this sincere and religious man became an important part of Zoya's spiritual and emotional journey. They were brought together in a beautiful way, despite facing tests of faith.
