How exactly does time work on this show?? Everything happens in some expedited timeline in this show as if they live in some time vortex

1. Maya and Arjun consummated 2 days ago as per the timeline of the show. So then HOW can Maya already be pregnant?? 😕 Yes, she most probably is faking it but then how come Arjun does not find it weird that she got pregnant in 2 days, or rather that they were able to detect a pregnancy in 2 days?? Also Maya is shown to be really intelligent, so how come she did not think
faking a pregnancy just 2 days after consummation might come across as suspicious??

2. Ayaan calls Arjun (who is in office) and asks him to come home.. Ayaan hangs up the phone and turns around to see Vandana throwing trash on Maya but lo and behold Arjun sees that live too. So in the time it took Ayaan to hang up the phone and turn , Arjun left office, sat in the car, drove down to their house in Mumbai's traffic and reached just in time to see the trash kaand?? The same with Saanjh the previous day. Do all of them teleport in this show? 😛

3. Arjun says that his mom died 15 years ago. 15 years ago he was 6 years old so that makes Arjun 21. SO Saanjh must be somewhere around the same age, so she should be 20-21.
Ayaan was born a year later so he should then be 14 years old right, which means he should be in 9th std. During Arjun's bachelor party Ayaan was seen drinking and taking shots. The legal age for drinking in India is 21 so I assume Ayaan should have been at least 21 at that time (or Arjun and that bar propagates underage drinking)

So did they all just go back in time then?? 😆

If we go by the current calculations:

Maya - 24-25
Arjun - 21
Saanjh - 20-21
Ayaan - 14
So what does that make Shubh (who is def younger than Ayaan)?? - 11-12??


I understand that it's a finite show and the story needs to move fast but they still need to play by the rules of time. So instead of showing:
Day 1 realization of love,
Day 2 Declares cannot live without the lover
Day 3 Decides to get married
Day 7 gets married
Day 20 - Consummates
Day 21 - Gets pregnant
...
what's next ?--- Day 30 baby is born, Day 40 baby goes to school, Day 50 Baby gets married?? 😃

why can't they imply that some time has passed off screen? Why not show that its been a couple of weeks since Arjun and Maya moved out and then show all the kachra-pregnancy drama so that the timing seems a little more realistic.

Really hope the CVs start paying more attention to logic.

I totally agree with every point u said... the timelines in this show are so confusing and unreal... one more point I want to add -- that scene where Ayaan tells vandana that Saanjh called me and informed everything about what happened in temple with Maya.. actually I was shocked!! first of all y will saanjh call Ayaan and not Arjun?? second - how can it all happen soo fast??? Ayaan was already packing his bags to leave the house before Vandy came home also LOL

Aww!! Thanks 😃. I am flattered that you like my posts.😳

There are a whole lot of inconsistencies in the show's timelines. The bachelor party scene you mentioned is a prime example. Maya (presuming she was there ) left the pub at the same time as Arjun, yet she reached her house first, changed her clothes and hairstyle and was ready to come down by the time Arjun reached there.

Another glaring timing issue, during their SR episode, by the time Maya went to the bathroom and came out, Arjun had managed to take a bed to the terrace and decoratethe whole place that too alone. HOW did he manage to take a bed to the terrace alone that too so fast. How long was Maya is the bathroom?? 😕😆

There is a lot left unexplained pertaining to matter of time. I have no clue how/when time passes in this show. Sometimes 3 episodes are stretched to show 1 day while at times even weeks pass and we don't have clue.

1. I presume some days have passed eversince the consummation. They didn't show Arjun moving into the Mehrotra house, Maya had a dialogue where she told Jhanvi she's glad Arjun is adapting to their lifestyle, and Ayaan updated Vandana about Arjun being happy. The slight time skip wasn't indicated clearly so this is just my guess. Despite these factors, a pregnancy is not detected so soon and the symptoms aren't felt at an early point of pregnancy either.

2. It's the mystery of tele-transport. It is humanly impossible to even turn around the corner in a metropolitan Indian city, I guess these people reach places at the snap of their fingers.

3. Ayaan's age is one factor that irritates me the most. I choose to not question the little things but something is clearly wrong here. Arjun isn't 21 and Ayaan isn't 14. The CVs messed it up here..

Permit me to add one more case in which time wasn't kept in mind. In the very first episode of Beyhadh, it is Ashwin and Jhanvi's 25th anniversary and Jhanvi is seen asking Maya whether he would come. Within a few episodes, Maya is celebrating her birthday. Her birth year being 1991, it should have been her 25th birthday UNLESS she was conceived before Ashwin and Jhanvi's marriage (which did not happen according to the conversation Maya and Arjun had at the terrace) or the show is set in a year other than the actual year. It has been pointed out by some users that the show is actually set in 2015 but confirmation from the show would ge great. They could just show a glimpse of a calendar or some document with the year on it.
