Even now, the whole Maya's anti soap Bahu avatar, and craziness isn't impressive since Maya isn't to be petty and silly, rather cold, calculative, and mostly introverted. This Maya is rash, abrasive for no reason. I would rather see the old Maya who whilst didn't or couldn't control people, could take charge of situations and turn things around.also, if lack of 'opponents' makes Maya this brash and abrasive, then was Ashwin the only one who could see thru her, and semi- control her??
Ofc, as a chain reaction even Saanjh, Arjun have to be dumbed down, samay who was a game changer, is reduced to being her bitch.
It's seems creatives have hit a roadblock and don't know how to take the story forward. But constantly setting up scenarios for Maya to just "win" takes away from the genuinity of the show, and seems an exercise in futility, only done for the popular actress.
Ps: no offence intended for any actor, they are all amazing in their roles, just my thoughts
