That does not make her morally right.
It is totally okay for a dark character to be the LEAD of the show. No matter protagonist or not.
It is rare in India but there are quite a lot of shows and movies of that genre abroad. Where the lead of the show is dark/vampish.
It is here in Indian TV where literally everything is in Binary.
Protagonist(Devi maata) or Vamp(komalika types with dum tana tana) .
Also, maya isnt just a depression patient. Because that doesnt make people manipulative- coming from someone who has seen a close friend with issues. Yes. That doesnt make people manipulative. Severe depression causes self harm etc. But the manipulative part is because of severe OCD and chosing the dark part. Yes. Everyone with Mental illness doesnt take the dark.path. She took. Yes there were circumstances that were questioning. Like her troubled childhood. But the bottomline is- she did cross lines. And all her actions cant be morally justified. Redemption is not impossible. But for that she needs medical help rn. Before the madness makes her do things that cant be undone.
She needs help. Yes. But as I always say- her redemption- if possible or not- will depend on the extent to which she'll go.
-Coming from a neutral viewer. See I dont want to be called hater or fan and stuffs. I just see the show for the story. And yes. I like Maya. I like Arjun, Saanjh, Ayaan, Ashwin and everyone. What I didnt like was the police wala track where the CVs did a major deviation from the original track.
