Good post! I've not watched a week's worth of episodes. But I'm wondering what's the statute of limitation for a crime committed as a juvenile? It doesn't make any sense!
I am still banking on this one going the gone girl way. I think Maya's past must be something that could give the viewers a proper insight into her future actions (say if she kills her dad, it won't turn the audience sour towards because he somehow deserved to die. I think Maya may have been gaslighted as a kid to believe she's a maniac so that she's imbibed that rhetoric and now when push has come to shove, she finds no other choice but to eliminate the one constant obstacle once and for all)
I'm not sure if I made any sense but if they showed Maya to be committing acts of moral turpitude, the viewers won't be able to relate to her and that's bad news since the show literally banks on her shoulders so to speak.

Thank you, Jaz! 😳
Do we know for certain that this hypothetical crime Maya has committed was when she was a kid? I don't remember Ashwin saying anything of that sort because otherwise, 20-25 years of imprisonment doesn't come into picture. 🤔 She must have been an adult at that time or Ashwin wouldn't explicitly stated the said punishment.
I like Gone Girl theory but to be honest, I doubt Hindi tv shows have that kind of calibre and skill to pull such a complicated theory off. For a show that heavily relies on the custom, traditions, rituals and prophecies to drive the story forward, this would be a rather tough job to pull off. Also, if after 84 episodes of 'Maya ka sach', I'm told that there's nothing and Maya was just made to believe that she's maniac, I'm going to be terribly disappointed. 😳 A 2+ hours movie would do a terrific job with the same plot line, why would any viewer want to waste their time and energy into this then? They're required to come up with their A game now.
That's quite true. The show heavily banks on Jennifer's popularity/acting skills and the mystery around Maya's character, they have to carefully tread whatever path they're going to choose.
PS You could just watch the Beyhadh weekly re-livs or read written updates. They're sufficient enough to give you an idea of what's been going on.
