I always love the way Maya plays the wife. I mean she is wife first and then everything else. Now coming to the episode.
In Maya's prayer today I found a woman who earnestly wants to start a new life. She wanted to find her happiness in her husband's happiness, wanted to consider his family and friends her family and friends. Her prayer was a request to God not to bring her past into her present. Once again Lakshmi is trying to come to Vandana's place.
But does Vandana Mata wants her. No in fact her perception what Lakshmi means makes her tell all the venomous thing about Maya. If Maya was accepted she would have earnestly tried to be the Lakshmi of Vandana's family. But Vandana is looking at all the omens of Lakshmi coming as she knows it.
She talks about Maya's family as bad and Maya has to be bad. What she forgets is her past. How did she marry Arjun's father, when did she marry him. What happened when she entered Arjun's house. What relation she made. A little boy felt lonely, his relation with his father was more or less destroyed. On what basis then she thinks herself to be Lakshmi. Whole life she was trying. The woman who has known the pain of trying, why cant she give Maya a chance to try. No she wont because as per her definition of Lakshmi's qualities Maya doesnt match.
This lady forgets the most important thing. Mahalakshmi sits in the Lotus which blooms in mud or rather Mahalakshmi is that lady who is associated with mud, yet someone who is able to rise above the mud.
No she wants to know the truth of Maya's past. Now Maya comes. Once again for a second we see Maya looking at Vandana. Her eyes have both pain and anger. She goes without telling anything. I loved Maya for this. Instead of falling at Vandana's feet crying she just refused to enter the house that is not ready to welcome her. I would say Lakshmi came to Vandana's door and went back.
Now Arjun takes charge and she tells his mother his wife will be in the house as his wife, her bahu and Ayan's bhabi. Just like she had barged in told him at 6 years from today she is his mother.
Only when Arjun says they will go Maya tells they will go back to their house as she wants to convert Vandana's anger into love.
What we need to know here is that Maya's need for approval has become genuine. But instead of being a door mat she is keeping Arjun in front and then doing things that is beneficial for him and his family. Arjun is her centre, not Vandana.
And she wants Arjun to be convinced fully that she is not bad, inauspicious or anything. I guess yesterday epi also she was asking for that conviction. For every accusation of Vandana she wants proof from Arjun what he considers her.
So Maya wants to leave her past, but Vandana Mata wont allow her. Also she have instigated Saanjh today. I hope Saanjh doesnt fall into Vandana Mata's trap.
