Time and again I've come across posts saying, maya does everything wrong because of vandana and saanjh.
Beg to disagree. I guess the whole character sketch of maya is at stake with such a judgement.
Maya has a turbulent past. A past that led her to become a manipulator. Not her fault really. Bad parents, bad family climate leads a child to imagine and create situations normal people cannot imagine. She has learnt in this cruel world she's got to snatch the best by any means be it manipulations. That's what she does.
Saanjh and Vandana has got minimal role to play in Maya's life. She has forever been the extremely insecure individual. Vandana and saanjh didn't make her that. Because if you people have got maya really, she likes to own things for herself. Even if saanjh and Vandana had accepted her, she wouldn't have been able to live in the house for long, without her cameras, without her freedom to dominate and own . Please at least understand her character sketch.
Only arjun could've changed her. But he couldn't. Because of his dumbness. If saanjh called arjun, he too went. If saanjh danced, arjun did too. But that is really really not an issue. We normal humans get jealous of girls round our beloveds, that's all. But she's maya. Her sickness leads to actions not explainable and justified. And neither saanjh knew she's sick, nor vandana. For them, the extremes she reaches are evilness. And they aren't wrong in thinking that too. Please for once try to get what the story is about.
Maya is what she was. What she has become. Not because of vandana or saanjh but because of aswin and jahnvi. Arjun was all she could have needed. But he too turned merely her prey. Sadly.
