Plot summary
 | This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (December 2013) |
Qubool Hai revolved around three individuals: Asad Ahmed Khan, Ayaan Ahmed Khan, and Zoya Farooqui. Zoya Farooqui is a US based Indian Muslim who comes to Bhopal with her cousin Zeenat and brother-in-law Anwar where she is to get married. At her wedding, Zoya runs away from the venue, not ready for marriage. Wanting to find her father, she decides to stay in Bhopal and stays as a guest in the Khan house.
Asad Ahmed Khan is a very traditional and disciplined man, and dislikes Zoya's care-free nature and messy, immature habits. Zoya's actions anger Asad, who misunderstands her frequently while her intentions are innocent. Eventually, Asad's childhood friend Tanveer is introduced, and it is soon revealed that she is evil. Tanveer wants a rich husband and Asad is the perfect choice. After a series of incidents, Asad and Zoya fall for each other. Zoya reveals that she wants to marry Asad but Tanveer intervenes with many traps. After a series of incidents, Asad finally discovers Tanveer's true face after she attempts to kill Zoya. Tanveer's plans fail and peace comes to Khan Villa.
It is revealed that years ago, Raziya killed a woman in Rashid Khan's doll factory. The woman Raziya had killed was Zoya's mother, Zeynab whom Gaffur had abandoned in the US soon after their Nikkah making Zoya his daughter.
Humaira has an accident in which she loses her memory and thinks she is being Rajni, a married Hindu women. After some time a fake Vikram comes across whom Humeira considers as her husband. Ayaan reveals Vikram's fake identity and tells Rajni that she is Humaira. Humaira, later recalls her old memories and is hurt at first but happy later when Ayaan promises to marry her.
Ayaan and Zoya escape from goons and get into a community marriage where they get married accidentally. Ayaan and Zoya try to hide their marriage but fail. As a result Zoya is forced to stay back at Siddiqui Mansion. After a few months, Asad goes to the Siddiqui mansion and claims Zoya as his love.
After a series of incidents, Rashid has an accident and decides to get Dilshad to Siddiqui Mansion. Ayaan, angry at the decision leaves the house. Finally, Asad and Zoya get married. Zoya gets to know that Siddiqui is her father and Zoya's mother's murder was implicated by him. Two years later, Zoya forgives her father and he meets the family at Asad and Zoya's twins' birthday, Sanam and Seher. Shirin and Nikhat are shown to have moved to the UK with Ayan and Humaira and Haider are shown talking on Skype with Asad and Zoya from Dubai. On the very same day, Tanveer comes back in their lives to take revenge from Asad and Zoya for sending her to jail after she killed Rashid. She kills the whole family except from the twins and Najma's daughter whom Dilshad manages to run away with.
The programme moves 20 years forward. It then shows Sanam's life as an adult with her grandmother, Dilshad and cousin, Haya with nothing shown of the other twin, Seher. The story progresses with her clashes with the egoistic womanizer Aahil Raza Ibrahim, Tanveer's step son who lives in the same house where Sanam's parents were murdered and now where she is forced to work as a cook after their dhaba was burned down by him.

Reception
Shraddha Bhandari, writing for IBN in December 2013, stated that Qubool Hai was typical of "All serials start off brilliantly with immense promise and somewhere in the middle they get lost in the maze of TRPs, cheap publicity and making what sells.[4] Bhandari had appreciated that the series had started with " Zoya Farooqui was a jeans wearing, very modern women, raised in the US, yet very close to her culture and roots. The story moved on with her clashes with the very orthodox, Asad Ahmed Khan and how she changed his conservative thinking and start of their love story." but stated that "the serial became lost in multitude of vamps, warring families, crude language and events that in real life are unfathomable. Slowly it lost its creativity and that eventually drained the morale of the leading cast".[4]
