Maya is the killer???? - Page 6

I agree that Maya and Jhanvi might be two people capable of throwing each other under the bus if push comes to shove BUT this was not a "push comes to shove" kind of situation in the first place. Assuming Maya was intentionally inducing psychosis in Jhanvi what compelling reason did she have to do that?? Jhanvi had neither threatened to reveal Maya's truth, nor did she suspect Maya was the killer. Why would she suddenly feel the need to put the blame for Ashwin's death on Jhanvi instead of putting it on someone else??

That's the one thing I am not able to fathom...Either there is a piece of the puzzle missing here or they din't really think this through when they thought of the track.

Both of them could definitely turn enemies but it's the way it has happened that is not making sense. Right now it seems one sided i.e Maya betrayed Jhanvi and threw her under the bus for no fault of Jhanvi.

I get you. I vouch for the second possibility. The writers did definitely not think this through. Going by the episodes, the statements actors make (rather change everyday 😆) and the way the track has been written and executed, it does seem like all they were trying to do was to dish out filler episodes because they have a certain number to achieve. Whenever the mystery is unravelled in the story, I can bet it will make much lesser sense than it does now as I don't entirely trust the writers to answer all questions and close all loopholes. 😆

Pitching in some bits as to why or how Maya could have done this to Jhanvi.

As much as I have understood Maya's character, she loves herself the most. (In the sense that, she always have had to protect her ownself first because there wasn't anyone else to protect her) She does love her mother, there are no two ways about it. However, we shouldn't forget that she also harbours a strong grudge against her because Jhanvi failed as a mother and thus all the ill treatment she meted out to Jhanvi. She's the kind who would not hesitate to put an end to her own lifeline (Jhanvi) if it comes to saving her life (Arjun, as in she cannot afford to lose him at any cost).

I feel otherwise. It's not Maya loving herself the most else she wouldn't harm herself then. It's about not being able to lose her obsession. She hated Ashwin all the while but never killed him or thought about that as he was a threat only to her. Now he's a threat to Arjun and while she tried to get rid of him from her life (Saanj's case), she noticed he still is interfering in her life by kidnapping Vandana and making her aware of her truth. By all means she cannot lose Arjun and hence executed her plan now.

So, if the price is something as expensive and yet expendable as Jhanvi, she'd not think too much. In a bid to protect herself, what she loves the most (who at the moment is Arjun), what she cannot afford to lose, to hide her truth, she could very well go to any extent. Even attempting to eliminate her own mother who she does apparently love. That's honestly no surprise to me because I have always thought that Maya is capable of both protecting and harming her loved ones (recall the incident where she didn't hesitate before thrusting those broken glass pieces in Jhanvi's hand)

I also wanted to tell the same about Maya inserting the glass in her mom's hand. Maya always kept her mom to herself and did not want to lose her but her love was turning into hatred when her mother was too obsessed with Ashwin rather than her and that's why she went as far as to harm her. Her mother was ready to tell Arjun the truth as well. I'm sure that what Saanj had found out about Maya's illness and what Jhanvi confessed as her being depressed, it was indeed Maya only.

All that is going by the history of episodes and more specifically today's episode. While Maya being the real killer would be huge a let down in terms of executing a mystery/thriller track but it does tie up back to the Maya Mehrotra we knew which in a way I would call as 'being in character' because Maya Arjun Sharma was someone I was having difficulties in digesting as her 180 degree turn made no sense at all. 😆

For me, it wouldn't be a let down as always Maya was playing the victim card. It would be great to see the other side of the story. I'm glad the CVs brought back the old Maya but the moment she got married, she appeared like Kumud from SaraswatiChandra 😆

As for Arjun, he would still have accepted her even if she killed Ashwin. What I think he'll have trouble accepting is the whole game play. The way she managed to get Arjun's love, how she got married to him, all the secrets and lies, all the deceit, planning and plotting, all the pretence and act.

Arjun wouldn't be able to bear her killing her own father. He may have accepted it initially but he too would be scared as to how far she can go when she has already killed one human. It's not the case when he was torturing her and she killed him in self defense. It was a planned murder. It's too soon for him to get to know about the real Maya.

And as for Jhanvi, I think what broke whatever trust Jhanvi had in her daughter wasn't the fact that she killed her husband. She might have managed to forgive her for that eventually but driving her insane in order to frame her as one of the suspect would have to be something she never expected from Maya.

She couldn't accept Maya killing her Ashwin. That's why she was more angry with her and not that her daughter tried to turn her mad. I do agree with you as well that Jhanvi always tried to protect her daughter but this act of hers was a huge let down.
