Damn I love this is Maya. The way it started, she going in for a dip in mud and coming out like a victorious lotus, taking a new form, merging into Durga and declaring war (bg mein shnkhnad hua tha). That's intense!
But what i truly loved was Maya writing the entire story of the Roys. Mahabharat symbolism throughout was a given but the way Maya is writing everything beforehand just like MB was written before it happened, she definitely has God Complex 😆
Now my 2 cents on the first 2 episodes
1. Wow!! Jenny you are amazing. 👏👏
2. Maya you are even better than before - cold and calculative. The way she understood that the only thing left in the Roy family is actually the brothers so she concentrated there. She decided to target their necessities.
The rich spoilt brat Rishi has everything then what is it that he needs? Love? Or maybe rejection -She firstly targetted Rishi through infatuation and then let him struggle a bit. Think about it, Rishi came into her house, and Maya sent him back with a damsel in distress face. Why? She could have said aayie coffee peejiye nain ladaiye aur baat aage badhaye. par fir Rishi ke liye kuch naya nahi hota na. Rishi ke 1000 girls mein ek aur naam hojata bas. But now she is the only one woman in his life. She wants to enter permanently.
And as for Rudra the approach is different. Not because he is difficult but because the circumstances make him easy target. Ruan publications isnt doing well so she planted the idea in Rudras mind to sign Maya Jaisingh. Even when Rudra says he wont ever sign her, he forgets to take MJ into the equation. On the other hand Maya knew that sooner or later MJs bid to help will cause Rudra to get desperate and come to her. So Rudra's necessity is self sufficiency which only Maya can give him. Is it? Or is it the need for belongingness. Rudra doesnt feel belonged anywhere that has MJ in it and Maya the fierce and strong might give him that solace.
In Maya's own words - toofan jo ek bhai ke liye kamyabi laayega aur doosre ke liye tabahi
So my bet is that Rishi might fall down (he might not be able to take rejection in a positive manner) while the fallen angel - Rudra will rise not and not just on professional front, if you know what i mean 😉
