I never thought that my first comment on this forum would be on such a topic . I am mostly a silent reader but just couldn't hold myself back from commenting here .
Now, the way I see it , there is a very good chance that this attempt to rape / sexual assault was most likely staged by Maya herself. Having seen her psychotic tendencies and how capable she is of self- harm , I wouldn't be suprised if it turns out to be that way . But having said that , I myself experienced a bit of shock and outrage over some of the comments here which were made in a bid to acquit Ayaan and in that sense I do agree with the TM. The only reason I am able to give Ayaan the benefit of doubt here, is because it is MAYA on the other side and NOT because of the following reasons -
- It didn't look like a sexual assault. It was just manhandling .
- He only pinned her down and did not attempt to touch her privates .
- Only the sleeves of her dress was torn. (He didn't attempt to undress her completely?)
- No actual rape happened.
Let me just say that what was shown on the screen was a clear attempt to rape /sexual assault and had there not been an intervention , what would have happened is something nobody knows at this point in time . Now , why do I find the above comments disturbing and shocking ? For one , rape /molestation and attempt to rape / molestation is a serious crime as well as a sensitive issue. Everyday we have such cases being reported in the news and at least some of the comments here are shockingly similar to the comments passed by a section of the people who engage in victim blaming. I know this is a fictional show where Maya, the supposed victim , is shown to be a psychopath and hence the urge to acquit Ayaan , who is the supposed perpetrator. But I would personally wait for the real facts to be disclosed and not engage in dissecting the molestation scene to prove Ayaan 's innocence. This is strictly my POV , which I expressed only because I felt a strong urge to do so and not necessarily to contradict the viewpoints expressed on the thread here .
