Excellent post. That's what I said in other post too.
I like the current track since that's what I signed up for to see Maya's obsession. My only reason is they might make Maya villain, and that's not what they promised. So it's hard to watch the show in peace knowing most likely they will give a wrong message on so many levels and make the female lead as a villain. What will be the difference between this show and other shows then? We have already seen thousands time villains as obsessed with the other lead and after them for love, and the white character comes and save the lead except that here Saanjh isnt even white yet they think she is. And they call this unique when we see this everyday on other shows.
There are many happy with this track as for them this will mean Maya is a villain and their Saanjh can be the herione and they can get Saajun as end game. They are used to typical Indian shows and want the same here. They can't handle Mayas character as grey, so for them she's a villain and if she's not right now , they want her to turn that way.
However, some are genuinely happy with this track as for them that's what they were promised with which I am happy too, but they don't get why some like me are at the same time complaining even if we like the track. It's for the exact same reason that CVS are trying to make the show like other shows and diverting away from what they had promised. Showing obsession is fine as we want that and we're promised that but not at the expense of Maya's character and the show's concept. Majority don't want Maya as a villain. This show runs by Maya and her character. And if they ruin that to make her a typical villain, the show will be gone too and become a typical Indian show where we see vamp after the male lead for love. The show will be completed gone by then.
And like you said, if the roles were reverse, I can bet majority wouldnt want the wife to leave such a husband and change him like we have seem thousand of times in other shows. But when the wife has problems, many want the husband to leave the wife and even justify physical abuse. Honestly, I don't blame Arjun except the part about physical abuse and all. Anyone in Arjun's place would feel suffocated. But I don't understand why is he not taking her to a doctor or getting her helped. He's her husband and that's the least he can do instead of abusing and torturing her like that. That's sick and low. Seeing Maya's condition, she doesn't even know she's doing anything wrong. For her it's normal to love her husband that way, so how can he torture her when she doesn't even think she's doing any wrong and thinking she's just loving him. What were those promises for? Is this what his so called love for? But then I could expect this from him. He used to manhandled Vandana and Saanjh too and did the same with Maya once in office. That's why I used to hate those scenes even though Vandana and saanjh were wrong and Sanjh deserved that slap and more but from her mom, not from Arjun. I knew at those times he will be the same with Maya too if he can do to them whom he has know for life. He loves himself in the end and doesn't know how to work for the problems when they arise. He instead wants to run away, gets angry, have ego, and all.. Remember how he had all the dreams of being successful and rich but just didn't want to work for it. He would quit the jobs for one reason or another. It was mentioned in the beginning of the show by Saanjh and she had to drag him to stick to his new job. He basically just wants an easy life, don't want to work for anything, and just don't want any stressful situations to deal with. Basically an immuture, egoistic, and shallow guy.
