Ep 15: Aaj naam se nahi, sirf dosti ya dushmani se pehchaan hogi

Tonight was the episode, which was not the episode.😳 I don't get it, why create hype to show nothing. Quite a disappointment for me, at least in terms of mystery, but I am sure MayRa fans are more than satisfied by what went down tonight.

Maya's wait is over - This wait has never been so long for Maya. She has waited a decade to finally be in this situation, with the power in her hands. The moment has finally come. She has returned somewhere which is familiar, yet so strange. The faces, which were known and unknown to her. The real faces behind that warmth, smile, and acceptance, which she failed to recognize back then. Everything is the same, and yet very different. Maya back then was an innocent soul with God in her heart, who saw only the good in people, the best in people. And now we have this Maya, as mysterious as her name, in the shadows and the light at the same time. She is there at the party, and yet not there in the true sense. For Rudra, she is there, yet for Rishi, she isn't. For Mrityunjay, she is there and yet isn't. For Rudra, she is there as the investor - the real one, for Rishi - she is there as Rudra's acquaintance, but not his girlfriend. For Mrityunjay, the investor is there at the party - but not as Maya.

Rajiv 'the joker' - A joker's job isn't very easy. He jests but he also has the power to turn the game around. Rajiv is known to both Maya and Mrityunjay. He is Maya's informer, but is he her friend? Can he be relied on? Who knows. He is the investor for Mrityunjay, who apparently Mrityunjay had destroyed along with his company. So Rajiv is here to settle a score with Mrityunjay and plays the carrot to Mrityunjay's desperation to get Rudra under his thumb. But will he just remain as a necessary evil for Mrityunjay, or is there chance of a change in the equation which can spell doom for Maya. Well, we have to wait it out.

Diya and Antara's equation - Antara is surely unraveling because of Mrityunjay but is Diya really the friend she is trying to be. Or is she more keen on changing from D Aunty to the new Mrs.Roy? I don't find her as a very reliable friend and I don't trust her motives. The constant humiliation she receives at the hands of Senior Mrs. Roy, she, of course, needs some validation for being in that house, with the respect any woman would vie for - the title of Mrs. Roy.

Rudra and Maya's hide and seek - Dimaag kehta hai ki nahi aayegi aur dil kehta hai ki aayegi. Arre Rudy, tune to wohi baat keh di jo Salman Khan ne Kick me kaha tha, " Main dil me aata hu, samajh me nahi". Similarly, Rudra cannot fathom the mystery of Maya through his head, but the heart surely knows what it wants - Maya. As he growls with impatience, then appears Maya before him. And the look on his face is surreal - shocked, stunned, awed, floored - everything all at once. Rudra is unable to wrap his head around how Maya is able to waltz into a party filled with so many guests and yet freak out at the thought of media. But wait for it - he isn't so dim - he realizes the masquerade is another charade from the bag of tricks of Maya to comfortably fit into the party. And Rudra stands clueless - What is Maya? And we have Maya say in her signature style - Jo samajh me na aaye, wahi Maya hai. But, then we have our in-house lover boy trouncing in to meet this new hottie, with his bro. But before that, Maya pulls Rudra away in a corner, on the pretext of solving her wardrobe issues. Of course, we have an awkward Rudra trying to fix her dress, but what is surprising, that Rudra's touch never bothers Maya so much - even though it was all a trick to hide from Rishi. But, the level of ease and comfort she has with him, shows that she does trust Rudra's inherent gentleman, who will not touch her with any ill-intention. I am sorry, I fail to see any hate or disgust in her eyes for him - in fact, all I see is the 'partner-to-build-an-empire-with' vibes given off by her when she is with Rudra.

Maya's discomfort with Mrityunjay - Maya maybe designing her chakravyuh for the Roys, but she is still trapped in a personal chakravyuh of her own. Her panic to even be within a one-mile radius of Mrityunjay displays that she is still battling her past demons every single day. She is putting up a brave front and gathering every ounce of courage within her to battle the Roys. But it is about time that she braces herself to face Mrityunjay - because someday she has to and she cannot cringe in fear into the shadows if she wants to win a battle of justice here.

Precap - Well all these death omens, is driving me nuts🤪. But what I am surely feeling is that Antara isn't going to die. But what this incident can expose, is her drug addiction. With media and guests all swarming over the Roy mansion, if such a thing comes out in the open - the impact will fall on Mrityunjay's reputation, his ego will be bruised and the family will face ridicule, and what matters more than anything in life, is his image. Well hallelujah to Antara. Fingers crossed that she survives this.🤔

Well, I am done with my ramblings. Now time to share yours

A very well written analysis 👍🏼👏

In my view, I am just curious to know if Maya and Rudra ever shared any past?🤔 cause with the flashes we saw of her past, it included everyone from Antara, MJ, Diya, Aamir and Mrs. Roy as well, but not Rudra! I want to where was the gap that separated Rudra and Maya back then.

I definitely agree with the about the precap stuff you wrote. I also don't think antara is going to die. The past few episodes really stressed so much on MJ and his reputation and I think Maya is going to bring him down in front of everyone by creating such situation.

Yes

Today Maya finally entered the MJ mansion again,

In past Maya was so innocent who didn't able to see the malice behind those beautiful faces

But now Maya can able to see through their facade

The way Antara gifted Maya was felt like she was giving gift to her future bahu but I also have another theory on my mind

So the Maya's informer is old enemy of MJ whom MJ consider a joker but you are right joker banns is not that easy they can change the whole game

So here my Dushman ka Dushman dost theory comes true ....but I there's more

The way since last few days diya's behaviour seems weird to me she not behaving like a sweet friend she did in start

Today she was dictating Antara to behave properly ,she holds some Power over Antara but why and it seems she wanted to become Mrs MJ

Now I think Antara is not that bad but to get her husband love she had done many bad things

Hey.. I was like 🤓 Through the epi and the Mayra bit caught be off guard just like Rudra 😆..

So start with the whole entry of Maya in the house and her previous equation with everyone.. she did not meet Rudra or Rishi in the past.. They did not wrong her in anyway.. But they are the stepping stone into the family.. Rudra more importantly...

Firstly Rishi.. he will start ignoring Maya now.. he doesnt want her as she is sticking on.. But his friend who came might be the one to spill the beans to MJ I am sure telling him about a girl he is after..

Antara is sticking on to MJ because it's a position which many women are waiting for.. Diya is less of a friend ..I am sure she had illicit relationship with MJ..

Mayas past is still mysterious.. but knowing Antara she might have accepted even if MJ has any relation with her.. but it seemed like her family might have been known to MJ family..

Rudra is smart..he immediately found out that the masquerade is Maya plan.. she cant fool him so easily.. he doesnt know maya but he can already sense her plans.. anyways the dress bit he was feeling awkward to fix it too.. but then that was the only way to move away from Rishi and Ananya.. Also I feel MJ giving her purse might get Rudra in between and taking it..

Mj is a evil man.. imagine in no time Rajiv was hanging in air..then maya is nothing..

Can we pleaseeeeee get more MayRa scenes next week.. 🤗

Like u said i don't think dia is just this much of a girl. I mean there ia more to her which is not yet shown to us.

You're absolutely right about the MayRa fans.. all are partying with just a little scene😆and i just loved MayRa scenes today 😍can't they include more...

Precap, i too don't think its time for antara to say bye.. there will be more torture maybe mental ones. Mj making her "jobless" will be a real punishment for antara since she cares about the title she has now a lot than anything else..

Nice analysis. Sach me "Maya dil me aati hai, samajh me nahi" 😆 The one puzzle to beat all puzzles!

It was interesting to see Rudys keeness for Maya. He was pacing, drinking, and hoping that she appears and when she did, he was speechless. Maya really knows how to push his buttons. Bina jane hi main tumhari zaroorat ban jaungi and yep, pretty much on track to achieve that.

I initially thought that Maya would use Rishi to enter Roy mansion but off late and the way Maya has been insistent about calling the Roy world, Rudras world, all roads to the Roys leading to Rudra, and calling herself just Mrs. Roy before Rishi makes me wonder her true intent for Rudra.

Coming to that uber hot button up scene, well Maya really gonna kill Rudra with all this ada. It was hot and any regular chap would lose his mind and cross some limits but Rudy is a gentleman and respects Mayas limits. Tbh though Maya is comfortable with Rudys touch, both of them seemed a little uncomfy and awkward and that's great coz it means Rudy has an effect on Maya too, something she hasn't accounted in her plans.

The MJ-Maya scene gonna be awesome. I like that cvs didn't show her becoming a superwoman overnight after the office scene. Shows she knows Rudys inner gentleman well and knows she can rely on him in dire straits.

Overall a nice episode but the entry of that Rajeev dude was a complete anti climax.

Thanks @BitterBerry😊

I don't know whether Maya and Rudra shared the past. What I do know that she trusts Rudra inherently. Maya may have issues with every Roy, but she does not have any issue with Rudra. Rudra is someone who is strong as an individual. He has a strong moral compass and ethics. But his weakness is his love for his family. He is aware of the weaknesses of his mom and brother and still he ignores it. He does not attempt to rectify them or show them the right path. This is where Maya steps in, because she will not only use Rudra to be the bridge between the family and her, but also equip him to strongly put his foot down before his family, which somewhere he is incapable of doing.

I definitely agree with the about the precap stuff you wrote. I also don't think antara is going to die. The past few episodes really stressed so much on MJ and his reputation and I think Maya is going to bring him down in front of everyone by creating such situation.

Maya's first attack will be on the reputation of the Roy's, which Mrityunjay protects fiercely. She wants to damage the family by bringing them down step-by-step. Just like they took her down. Mrityunjay's strengths are many, and to bring him down, she needs to eliminate his strengths one-by-one. Whether its his family members, his trusted employees, his reputation or anything else.

@bold - Ruining someone's life at the behest to gain someone's love is not the sign of a good person. It the sign of a weak person. Her weakness has made her a doormat in the eyes of her husband, bound one son in toxic family relationships and exposed one son to become as toxic as Mrityunjay.

Tum to phirse chocolate-vanilla land me chali gayi hogi na Namrata😆

Exactly, they are the avenues to entering the Roy household to fight her battles.

Firstly Rishi.. he will start ignoring Maya now.. he doesnt want her as she is sticking on.. But his friend who came might be the one to spill the beans to MJ I am sure telling him about a girl he is after..

I think that Maya will push Rishi to a corner to either break up with her or tell Mrityunjay, so that he can break up with her. And in the meantime, Rudra may come to know about the 'Chemist' and his brother's stupidity, and might draw him more towards Maya and away from his family.

Antara is sticking on to MJ because it's a position which many women are waiting for.. Diya is less of a friend ..I am sure she had illicit relationship with MJ..

I feel Diya is more interested in becoming Mrs.Roy than being a friend to Mrs.Roy.

Mayas past is still mysterious.. but knowing Antara she might have accepted even if MJ has any relation with her.. but it seemed like her family might have been known to MJ family..

Whatever it is, Maya was devastated and so was her family.

Rudra is smart..he immediately found out that the masquerade is Maya plan.. she cant fool him so easily.. he doesnt know maya but he can already sense her plans.. anyways the dress bit he was feeling awkward to fix it too.. but then that was the only way to move away from Rishi and Ananya.. Also I feel MJ giving her purse might get Rudra in between and taking it..

Rudra is smart, but he isn't too smart. Maya is very honest with him. She manipulates Rudra by using honesty.

Mj is a evil man.. imagine in no time Rajiv was hanging in air..then maya is nothing..

The old Maya was nothing before him, but this Maya is his worst nightmare. Just wait for her to become strong to face Mrityunjay, then see.

Can we pleaseeeeee get more MayRa scenes next week.. 🤗

I guess you will get to.👍🏼
