Tbh I understood Maaya's love for Anuj more than Shruti even if it was morally questionable. Maya was a victim of human trafficking. She had seen the worst side of men in her life. Those who treated her like a commodity, for whom her identity was nothing more than her young body. She didn't fall for Anuj Kapadia at first sight... It was a slow progression. She passionately falls for him after he saves her from creep Sampath. Anuj gave her a completely different perspective of a man. He stood for her dignity and almost put his life on the line to protect her. It must have been the first time she felt protected, safe, and comfortable in a man's company. They showed her having flashbacks to screaming while he was fighting for her. I understand she might have wanted to cling on to him. It would have been better had she not started doing rituals for him secretly which are sacred and meant to be for husband and wife. Had her new perspective helped her look at life through a new prism and brought new hope to her life, that not every man in this world is alike, it would have been better. I wish that the fact that she loved him had never come out in the open. She could have dealt with her emotions and closed her feelings on a positive note and a fresh point of view. But then she turns psycho, becomes a victim of the writers, and finally dies.
Coming to Shruti I really don't understand why she fell for him. Maine tumhe dekha aur pyaar ho gaya. May be that's the focal point where Anuj connects with Shruti
. Usko bhi dekhte hi pyaar ho gaya tha
. Woh kyon in dono ke saath hai mujhe samajh nahi aaya... Itna handsome hai kya Anuj ki resist nahi hota...
I thought only Vee was the irresistible man on this show. Maa, kavya, Mukku all deeply fell for him....
That's why connecting to her becomes a lil difficult. Besides Anuj's touch me not attitude does not help either.
That said Shruti is a certainly positive person. I like Sukriti's acting also. It's subtle. In today's episode also while she was talking to Anuj, her voice was slightly, very slightly trembling which showcased the pain she felt while being in a one-sided love. The best part of her personality so far is that she believes in communication. She encourages both Anuj and Aadhya to talk and tries to assure them that she is always there if they wish to share anything with her. Till now I had a problem that she is not noticing very on the face signals Anuj is giving when she talks about marriage. But now her dialogues tell that she is not entirely oblivious to what's happening around her. Let's see how her character unfolds further. So far she talks softly, yet clearly. I am still skeptical about her. The writers of this show didn't leave any character that became a challenge to Anupamaa - Malti Devi, Barkha, Maya all turned negative. Here Shruti is a direct kompetison to Maa. Since they never elevate Maa's character the only two choices remain - make her negative or make her fall out of love with Anuj and fall in love with Maa.
The latter option I shudder to think, even more than the former. What will happen only time can tell..
