I get what you are saying about Maya. But as far as Maya's redemption is concerned, that is something we will have to wait and watch. We can't say it will or won't happen at this stage. It is still too early in the piece for that.
I am watching the show to watch what Maya does next, because to me she is the most fascinating character on this show. She is unpredictable in her actions, but her intentions are always clear. She knows what she wants and everything she does is in aid of this. She has no confusion in her mind. She is a go-getter. One of the main reasons for her success is her single-minded dedication to what she sets her aim on. Maya is a winner and so far she has won.
Yes Maya has a mental illness. But I believe she has never received adequate treatment for it. That is why it is where it is right now. She had terrible parents who ruined her life and her current state is directly related to them. Her Mother is pathetic and Maya had to Mother her most of her life. It's frustrating to deal with someone who refuses to acknowledge reality. Ashwin is a user and is bad news. But Jhanvi is a loser, so she believes him. He uses her, and she lets herself be used. She is addicted to this abusive man and his brand of charm. In my eyes, Jhanvi is worse than Ashwin. Knowing full well what Ashwin is, she not only exposes herself to him but puts Maya in danger as well. I can't imagine having parents who thought less about me and more about themselves. That has been Maya's reality all her life. No wonder she is a mess!
Maya doesn't know normal love. She doesn't know how to be a regular person. She is who she is, and her love is the way it is. This is the only way she knows. In her mind, she is fully justified. But her methods are flawed. I am really glad they are at least trying to center a story around a flawed character who is not some Abala Nari, super bahu type. Or a woman who has no self-respect, and never stands up for herself and lets herself be used. So on that score, Beyhadh is meeting my expectations. Even if Arjun and Maya are NOT end game, I personally don't think Arjun and Saanjh should be either. It is too much of a cliche. These three people each need to find their own path. I don't think anyone needs to end up together. That is my view.
