Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the player amongst all

Today's episode makes me even more confused about everyone's true intentions on the show...who is really the player here??

Here are my takeaways from the episode today..

1. I am still not sure what Arjun's motives are...he din't confess about bragging to his friends to Maya so that's still there...Also he confessed to Maya only because he saw Maya in the club and thought she had heard and seen everything. So he wanted to confirm if she was really there and clarify in case she was upset. Not sure if that was guilt or he was just covering his ass. Would he have told Maya if he had not seen her at the club?

2. Once again we see Ayan asking Arjun if he is marrying Maya for money and once again Arjun says he is...only to say that he was joking. The fact that the show once again chose to highlight that dialogue again makes it clear that it was not just a passing comment by a drunk Arjun but something that they want us to think about and something that will play a part in the future.

^^ To those two points, I do really think Arjun put all these theories to rest. He didn't trap Maya for riches and he's not that kind of a guy to stoop so low. Hence, the reaffirmation by him when Ayan asked him the question again.

3. Maya's scene at the bar had me totally confused. If she did hear everything why din't she react to the fact that he bragged about trapping her? Did she hear everything and is now planning to get him totally hooked to her and then torture him for breaking her trust? If she heard that why was she looking happy in her monologue in the club instead of being angry at him?? 😕

But the direction was really bad there..Maya was wearing her nightgown when she tried to run over Vandana, she was wearing a shirt in the club and then by the time Arjun cam to her house she was wearing something different with a new hair style...Is she a superwoman who can teleport between places and change clothes in a blink of an eye? 😕

No, it wasn't bad editing. The car scene was probably using an old footage to match a new one as all actors might not have been present for that particular scene. Today's, I think was done on purpose to make us first feel certain that Maya wasn't physically present at the party thus making us buy the same theory Arjun did. Next, they throw a twist at us revealing that she was and it was another way of hers to test Arjun thereby adding a new shade to her canvas and making it even more thrilling.

4. Saanjh is heartbroken once again seeing how un-affected Arjun is by her absence. It makes me think that she will take some extreme step at the wedding. Aneri said in her interview that Saanjh will turn tables and do something beyhadh in her love...The way it is currently going and as per the bts segments all she does is make sure Maya and Arjun marry and sings a sad song at their wedding...there is nothing table turning or beyhadh about that...so what else does she do???

It is weird that she is apparently is still insisting on ArYa getting married even after Vandana is repeatedly telling her that the wedding needs to be stopped as Arjun is in danger. The Saanjh we know would never do that...So why is she still not reacting??? Is it because she has something bigger up her sleave?? Did she set fire to the mandap??? Does she kill Ashwin to frame Maya??

That's a little too far-fetched, I believe. Saanjh just probably let it go for the moment as she doesn't want to become a hindrance in their wedding anymore. She doesn't seem like a character who'd kill or frame innocents to serve her own motives.

5. From the flashbacks that Maya had it looked like her "BIG Sach" is stabbing Ashwin...Maybe that is what Ashwin is threatening her with? Proof that she intentionally stabbed him..Maybe he has been threatening her that he will go to the police and tell them that she tried to kill him. Intentionally stabbing can be considered attempt to murder and that is probably what he has been threatening to reveal all this while...This is also in line with the fact that Jhanvi seems to think that whatever is Maya's sach is something that Arjun will understand and accept. If the sach was something that grave or criminal then Jhanvi would not think that. Here it is a case of self defense and Jhanvi would definitely think that Arjun would understand that considering he knows what Ashwin has done to her.

That'd be hilarious. 🤣 Whatever credible value the show has will go down the drain if Maya's big sach is just stabbing Arjun in the leg. They could very well prove it as an act of self-defense since Ashwin was abusive to both Maya and Jhanvi. That is definitely not Maya's big sach.

If this is the sach then it makes Maya a totally sympathetic character because she has done something that many people in her place would have done but has been made to believe that she was mad for doing that and has been isolated her whole life for it. Makes me root for her even more.

The only factor that would make her worthy of sympathy or empathy of the viewers is tied up to her mental health condition. That better be well-researched, realistic, logical and medically backed up.

What do you guys think??

I for one am not convinced by his responses...to me it still looks iffy...Also them showing the same thing twice and both the times have him first indicate that he is after money and then deny it makes me think there is something more to it... I am curious to see how this plays out or if plays out at all.

Um, I don't know. I mean I'm convinced about that now but who knows, may be, you could turn out to be right too?

Yeah..I get it that it was done to confuse the viewers and Arjun but it just din't make logical and practical sense. When Maya heard the conversation between Vandana and Saanjh she was at her house but by the time Vandana went down to meet her she was already waiting there 😕 Maya left the club after Arjun (because she was alone during her monologue) but she apparently reached her house and changed by the time Arjun came there. 😕 Looks like shoddy execution and editing to me.

Editing does get bad from time to time, I agree but this one looked on purpose to me.

Saanjh might have let it go at that moment but by the looks of it she is going to let it go in the future too..WHY??? As per the precap Vandana once again warns Saanjh about Maya but according to the bts segments we have seen Saanjh is the one getting ArYa together after Vandana takes Arjun away and she is the one tying their gadhbandhan and what not...WHY is she still not reacting to Vandana's concerns??? That is very unlike Saanjh especially because its Arjun's safety at stake. Makes me think there is something more to her actions

Two reasons I can think of is a) she's been accused enough by Arjun for trying to break him and Maya apart. She's already made attempts to find out the truth but it backed fired and hence she must have backed down b) from where I see it, she's genuinely trying to make attempts to be happy for Arjun and not be a hindrance to his happiness anymore.

This is agree with...If that is her big SACH then its very anti-climatic.😛 But I am afraid that + some mental illness is her BIG sach that everyone has been harping about.. I hope there is something more to it though.

There better be, I have been banking on it for long enough now. 😆

I agree...her mental condition better be treated as an illness rather than just blanketed as "PAGALPAN"...I hate how indian tv and movies just refer to anyone who is not completely normal as pagal...that's just so wrong.

That's true. Lets hope they don't treat it the same way other shows do.

I love the way you write...even though I might have a different POV for some things. 😊

Thank you! I liked the way you write too otherwise I don't generally respond to posts that don't have a respectful tone. 😊
