I would suggest this defined the sentiment of Maya today. There were 2 things truthful about her. One was she telling with you I felt the need to live once again. Yes she has started looking at something, some colors, some flowers in the name of love. She felt there is something more to life than her locked apartment.
She enjoyed the little things and the 9 year old in her wants to make up for all the time she has lost. Second was she telling thank you to Ganesha. Maya looked so innocent when she said thank you for keeping my hand in Arjun's.
When Maya opened herself towards life, Saanjh is closing herself towards life. In Maya I saw a woman who has not known love for what it is and got some true emotional security and feeling happy about it. Saanjh a girl who got everything in life suddenly feels something is taken away from her.
If you see both woman are selfish when it comes to Arjun. Only difference is that one is desperately trying to hold on to her hope to life, while the other ignores all the other means of support system she has and blindly goes behind what she does not have.
Now the question to whom Arjun will be given. If you truly ask me if he is the medium for a person to come back to life even God will give him only to that person. Because God prefers life. Than to the person who has means to bounce back even if she doesnt get Arjun.
But Maya cannot get Arjun hiding her past. If she is opening to life, she has to close that past to move on with Arjun in present.
