Zara and Asad's hilarious tiff

Actors remind us banter can be romantic too

When working up an ideal couple dynamic, it becomes almost natural to flunk what your partner excels at, to curve inward and allow them to fill the gap of your shortcomings, like puzzle pieces. And along the way, some gentle bicker-and-banter is sure to enter the mix. One would think that these mundane gestures of affection would be foreign to celebrities, but that's not the case with Zara Noor Abbas and Asad Siddiqui who don't let their poles-apart dexterity at photography go unnoticed.

Although they're both adroit at performing in front of the camera, it seems that only Zara is adept at taking photos. Asad, who doesn't shy away from that fact, posted his spouse's clicks on his Instagram handle. "Asked my wife to take pictures of me and she did a good job," he wrote in the caption.

While he distracted his followers with chic semi-formal wear and a fetching couple capture, Zara swiftly dodged the romantic show with a candid "Thanks, Asad" comment—her husband's name in all capitals. It seems Asad's damage control—an enthusiastic "Yes, thankyou!" reply—didn't suffice, for his better half had more to say on the matter.

Taking to her own Instagram handle, Zara posted Asad's captures of the night and the 33-year-old actor was hardly in focus in any of them. Filing her complaints in the caption, she said, "Okay so, I asked my husband to take my photos and... It looks like he focused on the bag. Not me. The bag," she emphasised. "Four pictures with the same technique?"

Her hilarious tiff was punctuated with question marks, providing fans fuel to jest in the comments section. "Husbands are like this," a user noted. Expressing mirth, another follower wrote, "You're in his heart. What chance does a bag stand?" Yet another fan observed, "So you're like us? You take four pictures and only one turns out to be good."

The two continue to remind us that even they are prone to lighthearted couple squabbles on social media. However, there isn't a lack of romance in their lives either and they aren't afraid to flaunt it.

In an older post shared by Zara, the fashionable yet sweet duo were captured sitting together on a booth, Asad's arm slung around her as they engaged in jovial conversation. "Started dating again," Zara wrote, adding a typed smile at the end of her caption.

Asad doesn't hold back either. An earlier post of his saw the two in an endearing side-embrace, dressed in matching black outfits. "A woman par excellence!" he wrote, adding a red heart.
