Love Is Blind Habibi created an outburst of fan reactions after its debut season, which premiered on Netflix on October 10. The Arab spin-off welcomed 20 singles in the pods, with an almost similar format to other versions. Fans were delighted to see some strong influences of Middle Eastern culture and tradition here and there.
The cast members exhibited different demeanors and personas depending on their culture. Some common comments that flooded social media were about how rich all the men were, their conservative nature, demeanor, and priorities. Fans also praised a fresh take on the relationship, as the Arab version canceled out the honeymoon phase and focused more on building understanding between the couple.

Amidst all these divided fan reactions, some Love Is Blind Habibi fans took to social media platforms to point out specific couples for their behavior after binge-watching all nine episodes. One fan took to X and commented about Asma choosing Khatab because of his financial status. The fan wrote:
"She didn’t waste any time."
Another fan commented:
"Not Asma deciding to choose Khetab right after he mentioned all the businesses he owns LoveIsBlind #LoveIsBlindHabibi"
Another fan commented:
"She saw the dollars sign."
Love Is Blind Habibi fans criticized Asma for choosing looks over the true connection. Fans believed that when Asma saw Khatab in person, she was taken aback by his not-so-athletic physique. One fan wrote:
"The switch up had me cackling"
Another fan jokingly commented:
"My girl was not happy about her decision."
Some fans also mentioned that Khatab knew that his money was the main charm and not his looks, so he did not talk about any physical attributes. One fan commented:
"Yet he tricked her when he didn't mention his weight."
Another Love Is Blind Habibi fan said:
"Yessss he knows that physically I had no chance so he pulled out the joker about the money and she fell for it."
One fan mentioned:
"What is even more surprising is how aware he is that she is primarily interested in his financial situation. He is unbothered and still wants to court her."
Did Asma and Khatab tie the knot in Love Is Blind Habibi?
Asma and Khatab had an interesting journey in Love Is Blind Habibi, as they had to go through episodes of breakups and patch-ups. The couple got engaged in the pods in episode 4 of Love Is Blind Habibi but did not continue on the show. The couple did not join the other engaged couples for a vacation. Asma appeared unsure after meeting Khatab about taking such a big step in a setup like that.
However, the couple decided to come back in episode 6 because they believed their connection was genuine. They even became one of the three engaged couples to walk down the aisle during the finale of Love Is Blind Habibi. The couple was joined by their loved ones, but Asma's family, who lived in Canada, did not attend the wedding.
Asma said no to the wedding and left the venue because she felt unprepared for the big day. Her primary reason was her parents' disapproval of how Khatab and Asma met and approached their relationship. She wanted Khatab to ask for her hand, as the tradition permits, and visit her parents in Canada. The couple decided to reunite outside the show to take their relationship forward.
Love Is Blind Habibi is streaming on Netflix now.
