Amazing post! 👏

I agree with you. Rudra's lawyer broke client's confidentiality clause by sharing those documents with MJ. It's simply unprofessional. But then, Maya also displays selective binding to the confidentiality agreement when her manager tweets about signing with RuAn on social media. Also no matter who called the press conference Rudra, Ananya or MJ, the clause was already broken.

I would like to know your thoughts about this selectivity.

But then its again only her name.. it doesn't display who she is or how she looks like.. MJ issue is that he wants to see who Maya is.. surely he already has his doubts.. he is a smart man.. why do u think Maya needs Rudra to combat him.. it's not easy to bring down MJ..

She said "Social media par, kisi bhi platform par meri baatein nhi hongi." She didn't even want the talks doing rounds.

Of course, MJ is turning out to be pretty cunning and manipulative. Rudra is aware of this side of him, and that's why he can't stand the sight of him.

I think that was just a writing error or maybe a little bit of creative liberty. Because her whole point was that she doesn't want her photo out there and her name is enough to sell the book. So at least her name had to be released.

Okay, that seems to make sense. 👍🏼

Dec 13th - The Foundation of Trust and the Anchor

The Visceral Fear - Maya's fear is deep-seeded. I already commented on this earlier, but I just wanted to comment on two things. As MJ was walking towards Rudra's office, it was almost like he could sense that something was wrong. He seemed to slow down and was looking around with his eyes. Could he maybe sense Maya or is that just me seeing too much? Secondly, as Maya was hiding in fear, she kept squeezing and massaging her right hand. It ties back to the other times she's reacted when a Roy has held her hand.

The Showdown - The showdown points out two important things. (1) Rudra is smarter than MJ gives him credit for. He saw right through what happened and what MJ's plan was. And he reminds MJ again and again that this ties into whatever happened years ago, something that MJ wants to move past, but can't because apparently whatever happened keeps re-happening (at least according to what they are showing and saying). (2) MJ considers himself God. Rudra said it, not me. You're not God. But that brought to light the fact that MJ does indeed consider himself God. He does everything thinking he's the only clever one, the only one with everything in his power, the only one who people should turn to. But unlike God, MJ is arrogant, egotistical, and power-hungry. He considers himself God, but, as most humans who consider themselves God, he sees down upon everyone. He doesn't help because people need help. He helps because it gives him a boost. And everything that Rudra said hit MJ's ego hard.

The Foundation of Trust and the Anchor - Today's major highlight. I'm literally getting goosebumps from this entire slew of scenes. (Or maybe those are because my office is so f-ing cold!) Nonetheless, I had to go back and watch all these scenes between Maya and Rudra twice to be able to get all the details. There is so much here!

Let's start with Rudra's reaction. Rudra is able to compartmentalize his emotions well. He had a major showdown with MJ outside his office and yet he walked into his office calmly calling out for Maya as if nothing had happened. Then he moved from confusion when he saw Maya was missing to curiosity when he heard the noise from under the table to concern when he saw Maya having a panic attack. He may have misunderstood the reason for Maya's panic attack, but that's okay, because in either case he did what you would expect from someone like him. He reached out.

Maya, on the other hand, was going through a major episode and yet it took just 2 calls of her name for her to react to Rudra's voice. And instead of shying away from Rudra, she hesitantly took his hand after regarding him carefully. Something in his face, in his eyes, in his words made her believe him and trust him. It made her recant on her old words of never touching her. Two other things to point out here. Firstly, Rudra recanted his own words from the coffee shop when he had said she would reach out to him first. But secondly, and more importantly, Maya took his hand, just like Rudra had said she would in the coffee shop (you'll offer your hand), and then hugged him trying to calm herself. This was the first step towards the foundation of trust being laid between the two. If Maya didn't trust Rudra, she would have pushed him away, she wouldn't have taken his hand, and she certainly wouldn't have reacted like she did by seeking solace in his arms.

I saw first step towards foundation of trust because trust is not so easily built and especially not when you've had your trust destroyed like Maya has. She trusted Rudra for a split second, but when she realized what she was doing, she pushed away. She didn't want to appear weak and vulnerable in front of Rudra. She hadn't want Rudra to see this side of her and she definitely hadn't wanted to seek the comfort of a Roy. Her response had been visceral, but her attempt to rebuild her stoic nature was desperate. It showed her that despite her big claims that she was not to be affected, she had been.

Now I also use the words "the anchor". That's exactly what Rudra is. He was surprised when Maya hugged him, but he quickly reacted by consoling her. Trust me. Trust me main tumhe kuch nahi hone doonga. I promise. I promise, trust me. And then his outreached hand, steady as an anchor. Rudra doesn't even realize how important those words will be. He doesn't realize how important that hand was. He became an anchor amidst Maya's chaos, amidst Maya's pains. He put aside his own anger and pain to help Maya out of hers. He is her anchor. Whether they like it or not.

Rudra has a lot of questions, but I liked how he didn't ask any of them. Not then and not while driving her home. He understood it wasn't the right time and Maya didn't want to revisit it. But he will ask his questions. Right now, he's told himself that it's because of the journalists, but I have a feeling that he knows that it isn't the right answer. There's something deeper there.

No means no - That's the second time Rudra has used those words. First time when he told Rishi that a woman's no means no and now with Ananya. The difference is that the first time he was serious, this time it was in jest because Ananya knows her boundaries and also knows what has to be said when. She isn't dumb, she is quite smart, unlike Rishi. Iske saath pehle no, phir no, forever no. Oh god, the way Shivin said this dialogue was hilarious. 🤣

Needing each other - Mujhe tumhari zaroorat nahi hai. Sorry Maya but you do need him. And that was established between yesterday and today. Maya needs Rudra, not just because he provides calm and comfort, but because without him Maya has no plan of attack. Lekin mujhe tumhari zaroorat hai. Rudra's response was exactly what you would expect him to say. He needs Maya now for the company. He has signed her on as an investor and without her, his business with go kaput. At the same time, Rudra is learning fast. He responded to Maya exactly in the same tone she would understand.

Rudra the driver - Bechara Rudra. From publisher to business partner to driver. Kya promotion hai. 😆 No, but seriously this was a good point and also an establishing point for Maya's character. Firstly, Rudra is driving Maya at her most vulnerable, without asking questions, and because he needs to do this. This is key because as Maya's revenge progresses, she'll have more such moments and, each time, she'll find Rudra by her side, calming her down, anchoring her, and 'driving' her to her destination. This was also an establishing point for Maya's character in Rudra's eyes. Up until now, Rudra has just seen the crazy and stoic side of Maya. Today, he saw her laugh at a joke and then also the humane side of her. He may have brushed it off casually, but the way he kept glancing her told me that he wants to know more about her. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, he's intrigued by her even more now.

The chemist - I know Rudra was joking that the "chemist" will kill himself, but he doesn't know how true it's going to become. He's obviously caught on that this chemist is more than a chemist, hence that comment. I wonder how he'll react when he realizes that Rishi is the chemist and (as per the precap) he does try to kill himself when Maya rejects him. Rudra is not so easily controlled Maya, you should know that by now. Telling him to drop her off is not going to work. He's persistent and will do what he feels is right, not what you feel is right.

Mrs. Roy vs MJ - I try to keep as good of an order as I can to my thoughts, but today I really wanted to keep the Maya and Rudra scenes all together, so don't mind if I'm revisiting a scene that I probably should have discussed earlier. First time we saw MJ's anger, but we also saw that all of Mrs. Roy's taunts come through anger as well. She is pissed with MJ about something. When he retorted, her expression changed from frustration to anger and sadness combined. And her words bete ko samjh liya isli toh sharab ki zaroorat padi. Mrs. Roy knows something quite disturbing about MJ that it sent her over the edge like this.

Interesting though that MJ said that Mrs. Roy wasn't a proper mother. This family is so dysfunctional. Antara is scared of MJ's anger. Mrs. Roy can't stand MJ. MJ takes his mom's taunts, but has his breaking points. Rudra hates MJ. Rishi seems to be the only one holding this family together. Aha! Rishi is going to die. That'll break this family apart. Maya's perfect revenge.

I agree with your point here. But what is most surprising is Maya did not plan for this? If she will work with Rudra, she will have come face to face with known faces. I am not questioning her trauma here. I understand it completely. But not even once, did she anticipate such a thing could happen, is what I find very hard to believe.

The Showdown - The showdown points out two important things. (1) Rudra is smarter than MJ gives him credit for. He saw right through what happened and what MJ's plan was.

And everything that Rudra said hit MJ's ego hard.

Boy, oh boy. Mrityunjay was livid. Every day some incidents happen in the Roy family inadvertently due to Maya, and the mask slips off. And Mrityunjay walks into Rudra's office and Maya's mask slips off. What a different heroine-nemesis relationship they have that pulls off each other's masks to show what they truly are - which is - Mrityunjay is manic and Maya is lonely and fearful.

The Foundation of Trust and the Anchor - Today's major highlight. I'm literally getting goosebumps from this entire slew of scenes. (Or maybe those are because my office is so f-ing cold!)

Yes, Maya has found an anchor in Rudra, even if she does not want. I think also in Ananya in the future you know. There are certain things that only women can understand and that is when Ananya will probably step in. She will hold Maya together when the time arises. I have real hopes on CVs work to create a lovely relationship between Maya and Ananya.

No means no - That's the second time Rudra has used those words. First time when he told Rishi that a woman's no means no and now with Ananya.

Well, Ananya is so hell-bent on getting close to Maya. Aisa lagta hai competition shuru ho jayega dono ke beech - that who will win Maya's friendship/attention?🤣

No, you don't sound like a broken record, but Rudra always says no first also like Maya and does the opposite. He is quite the nosy guy, who wants to know more about Maya.😉

I don't think she planned for it to be like this. Based on the precap, it looks like she's walking into the dragon's lair and quite confidently. Maybe she didn't plan for her first meeting with MJ to be something surprising like this.

The Showdown - The showdown points out two important things. (1) Rudra is smarter than MJ gives him credit for. He saw right through what happened and what MJ's plan was. And he reminds MJ again and again that this ties into whatever happened years ago, something that MJ wants to move past, but can't because apparently whatever happened keeps re-happening (at least according to what they are showing and saying).

What a different heroine-nemesis relationship they have that pulls off each other's masks to show what they truly are - which is - Mrityunjay is manic and Maya is lonely and fearful.

It'll be an interesting face-off in the future. Both will be at their rawest when they come face-to-face. Or at least one will be if the other planned for it to happen. Then we and everyone (audience and show characters) will see MJ and Maya's true face (or least one's true face).

The Foundation of Trust and the Anchor

Yes, Maya has found an anchor in Rudra, even if she does not want. I think also in Ananya in the future you know. There are certain things that only women can understand and that is when Ananya will probably step in. She will hold Maya together when the time arises. I have real hopes on CVs work to create a lovely relationship between Maya and Ananya.

Oh yes so true about Ananya. I don't think Ananya will just be sidelined. They've obviously made her an important part of the show so far and it'd be something new to see if Maya and Ananya develop a relationship of trust and friendship as well.

No means no - That's the second time Rudra has used those words. First time when he told Rishi that a woman's no means no and now with Ananya. The difference is that the first time he was serious, this time it was in jest because Ananya knows her boundaries and also knows what has to be said when. She isn't dumb, she is quite smart, unlike Rishi. Iske saath pehle no, phir no, forever no. Oh god, the way Shivin said this dialogue was hilarious.

Well, Ananya is so hell-bent on getting close to Maya. Aisa lagta hai competition shuru ho jayega dono ke beech - that who will win Maya's friendship/attention?

Lol could be. 🤣 My money is on Rudra. But Ananya is like the underdog. She could win. 🤣

Needing each other - Mujhe tumhari zaroorat nahi hai. Sorry Maya but you do need him. And that was established between yesterday and today. Maya needs Rudra, not just because he provides calm and comfort, but because without him Maya has no plan of attack. Lekin mujhe tumhari zaroorat hai. Rudra's response was exactly what you would expect him to say. He needs Maya now for the company. He has signed her on as an investor and without her, his business with go kaput. At the same time, Rudra is learning fast. He responded to Maya exactly in the same tone she would understand.

Maya bore nahi ho jaati Rudra ko na kehte kehte - she should know by now how stubborn he is.

Agar Maya yeh kehna band kar de toh hum audience bore ho jayegi. Sochenge ke Maya itni jaldi maan kaise gayi. 🤣

Rudra the driver - Bechara Rudra. From publisher to business partner to driver. Kya promotion hai. No, but seriously this was a good point and also an establishing point for Maya's character. Firstly, Rudra is driving Maya at her most vulnerable, without asking questions, and because he needs to do this. This is key because as Maya's revenge progresses, she'll have more such moments and, each time, she'll find Rudra by her side, calming her down, anchoring her, and 'driving' her to her destination.

No, you don't sound like a broken record, but Rudra always says no first also like Maya and does the opposite. He is quite the nosy guy, who wants to know more about Maya.

Maya ki baat sach nikal hi gayi. She'll become so important to Rudra that he won't be able to stay away from her. He can't. 😆

The chemist - I know Rudra was joking that the "chemist" will kill himself, but he doesn't know how true it's going to become. He's obviously caught on that this chemist is more than a chemist, hence that comment. I wonder how he'll react when he realizes that Rishi is the chemist and (as per the precap) he does try to kill himself when Maya rejects him.

Rudra is very observant about everything related to Maya. Uff ye chemist bahut jyaada despo banta ja raha hai.

I don't get how he can get so desperate in literally 1 meeting. He saw Maya and just fell in love and then saw her damsel-in-distress role and wants to marry her. Puhlease. Koi isse meri taraf se ek achi laat maaro kulle mein.

Mrs. Roy vs MJ - Interesting though that MJ said that Mrs. Roy wasn't a proper mother. This family is so dysfunctional. Antara is scared of MJ's anger. Mrs. Roy can't stand MJ. MJ takes his mom's taunts, but has his breaking points. Rudra hates MJ. Rishi seems to be the only one holding this family together. Aha! Rishi is going to die. That'll break this family apart. Maya's perfect revenge.

About this, I would like to add - isme maasumo ki bali chadegi ya maasumiyat ki bali chadegi? And Rishi itna bhi maasum nahi hai,

I'm going to say both. Maasumo ki kyun ki MJ ki galtiyon yah gunahon ki saaza uska parivaar kyun bhugte? What have Rishi, Rudra, Ananya, or Mrs. Roy done to hurt Maya? We saw Antara has met Maya, so maybe she isn't so innocent, but these 4 are possibly masoom. Maasumiyat ki bhi baali chadegi. While Rudra, Rishi, and Mrs. Roy may have some inkling of what MJ is able to do and thus are not fully absolved, people like Ananya are completed innocent. They do stuff out of the goodness of their heart. Why is she on Maya's radar then? But maasumo ki baali chadne ke zada chances than maasumiyat ki.

Is it more about killing off someone or more about driving a wedge between brothers? I am a little unsure now because Mahabharat was also the fight between brothers - so will Rudra and Rishi face off at some point in time, and if it happens that way, then why will Rishi be killed off?

Interesting point. I really hope something like that doesn't happen, but if it does, then both Rishi and Rudra would die in that. Rishi in real and Rudra because he may have a hand in Rishi's death, either directly or indirectly.

superb analysis! especially the The Foundation of Trust and the Anchor part! she didn't wanna sound like debbie downer and let her guard down for sure!
