Maya is a Rock chic. The most rocking woman I ever saw on Indian TV. I have watched Indian TV for a few years now and NEVER came across a woman like Maya. I am used to seeing good girl types always sacrificing etc. But Maya? She is a law unto herself.
Being neither positive nor totally negative, Maya has managed to capture people's imaginations. She is not a Heroine, but she is not a Vamp either. She is a Female Lead! For the first time Indian TV has a female lead who is literally IN the lead. I love that she is more successful, rich and bolder than the male lead.
I also love her sense of style as I myself like those type of clothes and wear a lot of Blacks and whites. (Working in a corporate). I can relate to Maya in that sense. I liked Jennifer from SC, but this role is a dream role for her and seeing her in this role is a treat for me! They should show more women like Maya on Indian TV. (Not talking of the obsession stuff). But because she is a self-made woman.
When I was a little kid, I loved Dana Scully of X-Files. She was my role model. She was a scientist, an FBI agent, and she was smart and beautiful. She was the full package. Today looking back, I realize how important it is for little girls to have female's they aspire to be like.From Maya a girl can learn how to be successful and succeed in a man's world. Just seeing Abala Nari's on TV is very damaging to young females. Thankfully for me, I never watched such shows growing up. But I feel bad for young girls who only see these doormat type women on shows, Mahaan Bahu etc, and thinks its OK to be one. No it's not!
Maya is simply kick ass!
