Asma was ready to show off her “character and true essence” heading into the Love Is Blind Habibi experiment this fall. The Netflix spin-off series dropped just after Love Is Blind season 7 this October and there’s a whole group of newbies for fans to get to know. Two participants, Asma and Khatab, hit it off while in the pods.
Love Is Blind Habibi’s Khatab couldn’t wait to form a “soul, heart, and brain connection” in the pods. He was ready to “build a life” with someone and wanted to find an “understanding” partner. Khatab reveals to Asma he’s a DJ in episode 2 and the two express how they both work a lot. When it came to why they hadn’t married yet in life, they both gave the same answer with Asma telling Khatab she thought he was “cool.”
Asma and Khatab showed promise
After connecting in the pods, Khatab, a 32-year-old architect, DJ, and music producer, and, Asma, 33, a regional marketing manager and entrepreneur, make a go of their romance.
The two can be seen working out together during the Netflix show and appear to have high hopes of getting their families to meet within the Love Is Blind Habibi “timeline.”
Asma says she speaks to her parents every day during episode 7. She explains how her sister, Nihal, was going to Canada to speak with their parents about the marriage.
Khatab admits: “I feel stress and nervousness regarding her parents, so let’s see what happens.”
Asma tells Khatab how her parents aren’t on board just yet: “I talk to them every day. It’s still not registered. It’s still not. Not really.”
Episode 7 sees Khatab catch up with his uncle and mom. He tells them Asma’s parents want to meet him before she gets to meet his family members.
However, there’s a spanner in the works as they live in Canada, so it’s not possible for Khatab to meet them before the wedding.
Asma says no
Although Asma says her parents should be flying over from Canada to meet Khatab, there’s still no sign of them in episode 8.
Asma tries on her wedding dress and explains how she wishes her mom was there but presses on with the wedding plans regardless.
Things seemed to be headed for marital bliss, but in episode 9, Asma says “no” at the altar.
The Love Is Blind Habibi cast member says: “No, not today. Because today is only the beginning, this is not the day to make my decision. It’s a no for today but a yes for another day and every day.”
She leaves Khatab at the altar and says: “This moment is one of the hardest things I’ve done,” and concludes she “needs her parents’ blessing” in order to get married.
Asma confirms she “wasn’t saying no” to Khatab and they agree they can “continue together.”
Following the show, Khatab and Asma are still following one another on Instagram which could be an indicator that they’re still on good terms.
Taking to Asma’s IG comments, another of her co-stars, Mohamed AKA Mido, writes: “Purest soul I have met in the pods.”
Asma replies: “Wallahi enta gameel, and I’m happy we met my fellow Egyptian.”
Many fans are hoping Asma and Khatab are still together since filming.
But one writes: “It was so clear she’s going to say no to him the moment she saw khattab first time! But she choose to keep with a fake relationship.”
Another responds: “…for the fame.”
Fans are now eagerly anticipating the Love Is Blind Habibi reunion!
