Loved your post. Problem with both Maya and Saanjh is that both does not know what Arjun wants or what Arjun will chose. Hence the insecurity. So Maya tries to be obsessive, Saanjh goes beserk and insecure.

If you look at Arjun he is least concerned about the tantrums of these woman and is lost in his own world of dreams of wealth and power. For him Saanjh offers solace and Maya offers power. He needs both and at this point believes he will get it undisturbingly whenever he wants it.

He cares for any relation when it is at his face or when he sees serious trouble, otherwise it is my way or highway for him too.

So if you see all the 3 characters have my way or highway principle in various quantities just like you had mentioned in one of your posts, beyhadh or limitless of Arjun, Maya and Saanjh.

But all 3 of them will have to bend down in varying degress to know what life is. It can never be my way or highway for anyone. That principle will never help them to live, it will only take them to destruction along with the destruction of near and dear ones.

Both of them used the same line, it indicates both are just as obsessive over Arjun

let the war begin between Maya n saanjh 😆

Great post. I am personally not here to Ship any couple. I think Jenny and Kushal look good together, but those are the actors, not the characters.

I think Arjun is one confused Mother and he has NO idea about what either of these women want from him. At least with Maya she has "put it out there", so he has SOME idea of what she is after. But he is yet to know the Beyhadness of her love. Man will be scared when he finds out, or experience the darker shades of Maya.

Saanjh is acting so insecure and whiney that she is driving Arjun more and more away from herself. Arjun being "duffer" does not get why Saanjh is so hormonal. It is high time someone enlightens him even if it is not Saanjh. This cluelessness and this worst kept secret that only Arjun doesn't know is starting to grate!

There are a lot of anti Saanjh posts and I agree with some of them, though I try to avoid war zones. What I did not like was any member telling others what they can and cannot say. Saanjh's character has been shown as totally absorbed in Arjun, not having a life and just being his shadow. Their relationship has been highly co-dependent. Maybe that is why a lot of people find her grating. There have been no real boundaries in the Arjun and Saanjh friendship and that is the problem.

I am in this to watch the way the story goes. I know there will be a love story, but will it end the traditional way? I hope there is more to it. I did not tune in to watch a cliche and I hope they dont deliver that.

BTW, I am a huge Sherlock fan in general and Cumberbatch fan in particular!

@ani all the 3 are imperfect and that is what I like about them also. And I would prefer the show keeps that imperfectness intact. I dont want that mahanta in any character.

IKR? You can't not be a Sherlock enthusiast once you read the books or watched the show/movies. 😎

I haven't seen the shows you mentioned but I have heard a lot about them. I think they're all a little too graphic and violent for my taste and thus I have never come around to watch them. However, I know what you're talking about. Writing there (as in shows from across the globe) and writing here, there's a lot of a difference between the two. Indian tv, sadly, isn't yet fully capable of writing characters shows like Dexter, Breaking bad or other such shows offer. So, we can't even begin to compare these shows with those because if you do, you'll never be able to enjoy any Indian tv show no matter how good it may be.

Having said that, I really do think Beyhadh's doing a fairly well. We actually have a show on air that promises to break through the cycle of regressive content on tv and shows potential to fulfil those promises. I'll agree when you say that they're banking on Jennifer's popularity and acting skills but I'd also say Maya's a well-written character. Of course, there are inconsistencies here and there but she's still good, that is until the TRP factor decides to butcher the characters or the show itself. My only issue at the moment with the characterization of all characters, particularly Maya would be that the show takes it too slow. They give us some high points, then some low points, the pace is never consistent and the momentum slows down time and again.

I think when you want your audience to sympathize or empathize with your 'grey' character, there has to be a credible back story and explanation as to why the character is the way it is. Such a character needs some quality, some reason, some justification in order for the audience to be tethered to them or they'd just become an evil antagonist/villain. I love that quote from BB's creator. Assuming I had seen the show, with Dexter, I'd exactly do what Vince said, 'go with the ride no matter how far it goes' but I'd never be able to empathize with him, that's a given. With Maya, I'd like to be able to ride along with her still being able to get why she did/does what she did/does.😳

PS I am too not on board with any of the ships at the moment 😆 but I do like Maya and Saanjh.
