I beg to differ. In fact, this show gives her ample scope to prove her mettle as an actor yet again. I think this show as of now is as good as it can get. I haven't seen that show/movie you're talking about and thus that reference is something I can't understand. She was always meant to be devious, at least that is what I understood of her right from the promo days. As long as she doesn't turn into an out right negative/evil character, I'm good with it.


If you're referring to Maya setting fire to the hut in the first promo, yes, it's an abnormal behavior but not devious because it looked like she did it out of impulse but didn't purposely plan on sabotaging the livelihood of the priest ( she didn't kill the priest)!Even Jen has herself clarified in one of the interviews that she's not a killer. But the way she'd interrogated Sanjh at her house was sheer emotional harassment and the upcoming spoilers about Maya threatening to commit suicide doesn't bode well with me. I'd would have loved it if she'd used her smarts to achieve what she wanted in life instead of this pigheaded behavior.

Fatal Attraction is a movie in which a woman pursues a man who she'd a fling with and gets obsessed with him a la Maya.

I think the show as a whole is overrated at least on social media where each episode's raking in a million+ views within a matter of 2/3 days. Good for the team!

That's not just abnormal and she hadn't acted on pure impulse. She wanted to punish the priest in a manner she knew would cost him much. It was a well thought upon course of action. Maya meets out punishment according to how she deems it fit. While the priest made a comment that didn't go down well with her, she made him pay for it in accordance to the hurt/damage it caused her. But here, Arjun is one person she has set eyes upon and wants him for herself alone at all costs and she feels threatened by Saanjh because she knows that Saanjh is a roadblocks between the two of them. So, she wouldn't hesitate to eliminate her if she feels there's no other means left to get rid of Saanjh. She'll use her tactics, her strategies, her resources and her power to serve the motives. The bigger the motive, the severe the course of action.

Consider all of it and Maya is already devious and borderline evil. There's a fine line that she hasn't crossed yet which has kept her from coming off as outright evil. What makes her a dangerous person to be around with is the kind of mental and emotional harassment/torture she can meet out on you if you don't play by her rules. She's been a victim of harassment herself and such people do tend to become perperator themselves if left untreated. As for suicide, I won't be surprised if she does act upon it to achieve her means. She's already slit her wrists once on being called Ashwin's daughter and it's no shock to me that she'd do it again to gain Arjun's love. She's suffering from mental health issues, what do you expect?

Jenny's of course a powerhouse of talent but that's not the point. The character of Maya comes across as desperate and not empowered. She's someone like Glenn Close's character from Fatal Attraction. I find her characterization to be devious and not as someone who can charm someone's socks off with their charismatic demeanor. I genuinely feel Jen has made a mistake in choosing a show that's pretentious and has nothing to offer her as an actor.





Extremely sry that i am quoting you like that but why fo you think her character has nothing to offer her.

IT IS DIFFICULT TO PLAY A CHARACTER LIKE MAYA !

All our female leads are so boring .we wouldnt give a damn to watch shows with mahaan female leads if there are no heros ...basically we love to watch lovestories and the hero-heroine interaction...and hero might be flavoured differently but heroines are all same (almost not mucH diff)

For just to let you know this is the first jenny's show that i am watching and i love seeing her in this avatar .Beyhadd doesnt bore me so this show is currently my most fav.

Jenny is the female lead here ..you can say Antagonist but that is not a problem ...not at all for me .The show revolves around Maya so in every way this is a total win-win for jenny .Lovestories are not the only things that ppl should watch or love. I have seen a hindi film with same storyline ..totatlly same but the antagonist 's performance was so poor ...nothing compared to what jenny is doing as Maya.

Jeny is getting highly appreciated for her stellar performance and what new could have she done...all female leads have same nature of genes
In them.
So in my p.o.v. jeny has taken one of the best decisions.This shows her versatality which most actresses lack.I have seen actresses with average performances getting fame by starring in lovestories opp. A hot male lead or many leads lol but not every actor's journey is same. Jeny is a fantastic actress and this role required majorly that.It is easy to play a dumb female lead but to play maya is not everyone's cup of tea :)
