I have always liked this show's promos. In way, they're far more interesting than the actual episodes, I may say. Although, this one too made me sit up, take notice of it and eventually open this topic. 😆 The promo manages to save sense of mystery/thrill despite the million of spoilers doing the round, whatever little that is left of it. If I am to disregard every theory and spoiler there is out there and just watch the promo, it'd be hard to speculate because the entire thing is so ambiguous.Scene opens with Maya reciting another one of her soliloquies.Nazar nahi apna ateet ka bojh utaar rahi hoon
Acha bura jaisa bhi tha, aaj bhula rahi hoon.
If I'm to consider her intention of leaving her past behind for once and for all and for the good a genuine one, Maya as Ashwin's killer wouldn't make much of a sense.
Maine jo manga apne diya
Bas itna waada ki jiye ke
She's shown to be thankful to Almighty for having been with her through the good and the bad and protecting her at all costs. And she's asking for another behest/prayer.
Mere ateet ki parchayi mere bhavishya
Ke daaman ko na chuye
AND BAM! 😳 There comes the shock value of the promo. Ashwin's dead body falling from atop right on the havan kund/fire. Ateet ki parchayi Maya ke aaj par padh gayi. Ashwin's blood on both Arjun and Maya's faces is symbolic to that. This last part of her soliloquy is what leaves me intrigued. The fact that it is so ambiguous that there can be a dozen theories on it. If Maya did kill Ashwin to ensure her past doesn't meddle with her present, why does she seem shocked at what happened. That look she gave to her Ganesha idol is something difficult to decipher. Did she not expect it to come out in the open that she murdered Ashwin? That God didn't protect her secret this time around? Or did she not actually kill him at all? I think it could be the former case than latter. Reason? I'm not entirely sure, it is just a gut feeling. Oh and I don't know if Kushal was supposed to act that way or if its just how he expresses shock. I get that Jennifer/Maya's expression must be been carefully directed so as to not let out any considerable hint but Kushal/Arjun just seemed...bland. Upar se laash giri hai bhai, koi chipkali nahi jo itna low key reaction de rahe ho. 😆Not sure if the exact events will take place in the episode too as these promos are more a representation of how the story will be going forward. But if they do, Maya's ultimatum to still get married in that very mandap would seem rather lunatic. Going by the various shooting segments though, she seems to have insisted to complete all the rituals even when the entire mandap had caught fire. That wouldn't seem any less of a lunatic act either, not to the people present at the sight definitely. Edited by .annihilation. - 8 years ago
