Nour finds love with Mido after Chafic's rejection on Love is Blind Habibi
Chafic's journey to engagement with Dounia
Chafic, a 27-year-old Lebanese-Senegalese entrepreneur, navigated complex connections before settling on his final choice. His Love is Blind Habibi pod conversations spanned interactions with Hajar, Nour, and Dounia, each revealing different facets of his personality.
Despite these interactions, Chafic's feelings for Dounia intensified. In a dramatic moment, he shouted, "Dounia, I love you" while in the men's common area. This declaration was audible in the women's area, causing a stir among the other contestants.
Hajar, another Love is Blind Habibi contestant, who had been developing a connection with Chafic, reacted strongly to this public declaration. She accused Chafic of being a "cheater" for expressing such strong feelings for Dounia while still engaging with other women in the pods. Chafic politely turned down Hajar and Nour after the major declaration and decided to ask out Dounia instead.
A pivotal moment came when Nour, aiming to stand out, gifted Chafic a book infused with her perfume. The accompanying note bore a quote that Chafic recognized from his mother's social media, creating an unexpected familial connection.
The proposal scene unfolded with a creative twist. Chafic orchestrated a unique proposal for Dounia, instructing her to keep her eyes closed under the pretense of a wardrobe change. Instead, he surprised her by dropping to one knee, ring in hand, ready to cement their engagement in Love is Blind Habibi.
Nour and Mido's engagement
The pods proved a place of second chances for Nour and Mido. Both contestants, initially interested in other partners, found themselves drawn together after facing rejection. Their conversations deepened as they discussed their emotional journeys within the experiment.
Mido, having lost Asma to Khatab, and Nour, passed over by Chafic, discovered common ground in their shared experiences. This mutual understanding blossomed into a romantic connection, culminating in Mido's proposal to Nour, which she accepted, as the Love is Blind Habibi episode drew to a close.
Khatab and Asma's engagement
Khatab, a 32-year-old Iraqi-Canadian architect and DJ known professionally as DJ Khardiac, became the first contestant to meet his pod-partner face-to-face. His fiancée, 33-year-old Egyptian-born Asma, visibly trembled as the doors opened. Khatab attempted to soothe her nerves, commenting that she matched his mental image, but stood taller than expected.
In a gesture blending traditional Arab romance with the Love is Blind Habibi's modern format, Khatab presented Asma with his personal handkerchief. This moment of connection, however, contrasted sharply with Asma's private confessional that followed.
Away from Khatab, she expressed reservations about their engagement, hinting at potential hurdles in their future.
Simo's multiple conflicts
While love flourished for three couples, Simo, a 34-year-old Moroccan businessman’s pod date with Yasmin took a contentious turn when he expressed discomfort with her dating multiple Love is Blind Habibi contestants.
Yasmin's abrupt exit from the pod and subsequent emotional confessional, where she described Simo's behavior as "toxic," highlighted the tension.
That was not it as Simo also found himself at the center of a couple of other conflicts. A conversation with Hajar about future plans derailed when the topic shifted to intimacy, with Simo dismissively categorizing Hajar's views as "low level."
The final incident involving Simo occurred outside the pods. Upon inspecting the book Nour had gifted Chafic, Simo criticized her choice of perfume. This comment sparked a heated exchange with Chafic, who defended Nour's character against Simo's superficial judgment.
