This included how they got to know each other, their fellow contestants, and their bonding. Among all things that happened, as fans eagerly awaited, the couple recalled their "reveal" from the social experiment.
For those unaware of the reveal, it is when the participants meet for the first time during the show. Before that, they connect via various blind dates and get to know each other without seeing their potential partner.
Love is Blind: Habibi's Safa and Mohammad recall the moment when they first saw each other
On the podcast, the podcast host asked Safa and Mohammed how they felt about being in front of the camera. Safa said:
"My first experience was Love is Blind: Habibi... The first day was very hard, but it was fine. The pod period was easy as you don't see the camera man in front of you. But the first shock was the "reveal." When they opened the door, you only saw me and Mohammad, but there were lots of people, and on the ground. So that was very shocking."
Mohammad added that apart from the "big shock" itself, that was the time when they physically saw each other for the first time.
"I don't know if you saw her, when she walked in, the way she walked, Mashallah, she filled the whole room, but yeah, my shock was Safa, a beautiful shock."
Later, the host asked if the couple had imagined each other physically or in any other way since they hadn't seen each other before that first reveal.
Safa mentioned that she didn't think, before entering the social experiment, that she would find her connection through such a platform:
"While talking to Mohammad over the pods, you can kind of draw a picture of what he looks like. But there was no imagining, what his eyes look like, or what his nose or whatever looks like. So I did imagine him. But I imagined him differently from what he looks like. I mean he's very handsome, but I imagine him bigger."
The couple teased each other as Mohammad shared more about the reveal on the podcast. He mentioned how Safa was approximately 70% of what he had envisioned. He also shared that imagining her hair was important to him and that he heard noises over the mic, so he imagined her hair to be longer.
"I imagine she'd be shorter. That’s the only thing I expected which wasn't true."
Safa chimed in and asked whether he expected or "wanted" her to be shorter.
The Love is Blind: Habibi male cast member shared,
"But it turns out she's tall. But we were worried about the height, which she insisted on and we couldn’t talk about anything physical."
Safa mentioned the "deal-breaker" for her was if her partner would turn out to be shorter than herself. On the other hand, Mohammad had no idea how tall Safa was. He added:
"I said, 'So, in the reveal, let's say I turned out to be short, what would you do?' She said, 'I'd take my heels off.' And then I knew, she’s the one."
He also teased about their other plan where, during the reveal, if she felt that Mohammad was short, then she would wink at him, after which he would pretend to fall, and as a result, they would "cut". That way, the couple could "avoid the embarrassment."
Fans can stream all nine episodes with an additional reunion episode of Love is Blind: Habibi on Netflix.
