Love is Blind: Habibi - Hajar and Simo's first meeting outside the pods: Details explored
The fourth episode of Love is Blind: Habibi featured the first meeting between Hajar and Simo outside the pod. It was set at the vacation resort where they were sent to explore each other's connection and get to know each other better.
The couple discussed Love is Blind: Habibi's experience "so far."
"Since day one, crazy, and I love it. You're a troublemaker," said Simo.
Hajar teased that she was "innocent." The male cast member then asked whether she was ready for their marriage. She teased about understanding more about him through his "eyes."
She then shared her concerns and asked what would happen after they were together. The cast members had different mindsets about where to live and get settled. Simo shared that for him, Morocco was "best," while Hajar preferred Dubai.
"Morocco, it's a good idea for me because of business," shared Simo.
Hajar expressed her interest in staying in Dubai. Because of her family staying in Morocco, she was worried about losing her freedom. With a different mindset than her, Simo shared that being next to family would mean "freedom," but Hajar felt otherwise. She then asked Simo to think logically.
"If my business, if everything that my father and grandfather did, is in Morocco, what should I do in Dubai? Sell ice cream?" asked Simo.
She then asked about Love is Blind: Habibi's "passion." Simo described his "life" as his passion and how he wanted "a good life." Listening to his answers, Hajar felt "cold."
Throughout their discussion about "passion" that led on further, the female cast member told Simo about having a "big ego." He replied that he was trying to fix it.
Soon, their meal was being served, to which Hajar replied it was "too late" and that she was "almost done" to the server. Seeing her behavior, Simo did not look happy, questioning her and shared it was "inappropriate."
Hajar said he should stick "by her side, " which Simo refused.
"Sometimes I can be rude with people," Hajar admitted.
Simo then expressed concern about the server, from whom she had just refused to get food. The female cast member replied that the server was "late." They clashed over Hajar's behavior with the server and ended their first date.
"My character is a little challenging for him, and even his character has some challenging points for me. We'll either drive each other mad or fall madly in love," confessed Hajar.
On the other hand, Simo shared about seeing what the future holds for them.
