I think Ayaan is a bit of an enigma. He was my favourite from the Sharna family so I am dissapointed in his actions. But in Beyhadh no one is a perfect person. The way Vandana behaved after Arjun's marriage. The lengths she went to, made everyone even her family go against her. Throwing trash on someone? Did Vandana look capable of that? I understood her fears for her son and even supported her to some extent till she started to act like a typical MIL, tossing Maya's clothes out of the washing machine and constantly taunting her etc. Then that final act of throwing water and trash! Did she look like someone who would stoop so low? But she did! Doesn't make her a terrible peeson, but makes her fallible!
Ayaan went to Maya's to get Arjun out. He was single minded and determined. Initially he was looking for Arjun's room then he saw where he was, and finally he needed to get him out of there. Yes he was threatening Maya. But like you said suddenly his threats took on a more "sinister" feel. They felt more sexually loaded or had innuendo in them. He started to tear her clothes and even pushed her to the ground. Was biting her neck etc. Maya was pleading with him "I am your brothers wife!" And his response was "You WERE!" So he was indicating to her that the "Sister in Law" tag does not work anymore. That won't stop him. There was a moment there were we as an audience could not be sure to what length Ayaan would go! THAT was the disturbing part and the writing of this team. They always keep the suspense alive. I admire that in them.
Now coming back to Ayaan's character, he was involved in some high risk activities in the past with his dating apps. Then he was involved in that drug raid. I wondered then and I wonder now if he actually did have something to do with all that. Even then I thought this may have more to it. But at the time they didn't persue it further. As always Vandana doesn't think Ayaan can do any wrong. She didn't think it then she doesn't think it now. But we have been shown in some instances that he is capable of high risk behaviour. He was in a warehouse stripped to nothing by a Date, and had to be rescued by Arjun and Saanjh. Ayaan is no saint.
Was he really going to go through with it? I am not sure yet. But we all know he always had a "thing" for Maya. Even his Mother told him off a few times and his brother for overly admiring his Babhi. So there is a grey area here. But under no circumstances is what Ayaan did acceptable. This was not the right way to save his brother. This has totally backfired on him. Did he forget what Arjun said that the house has CCTV? How does he think what he said and did will come across on cameras? Clearly not a well thought out plan!
