You are as detailed as can be! 👏
1. One thing just hit me. Last season, white was the dress code and Maya's Ganesh idol was also white. This time black is the dress code and even the Krishna idol is black. 👏
2. Antara's love is of a prey in love with the predator because it can only dream of being the predator and never the predator himself.
3. Diya has a different opinion of MJ because Diya is a stronger woman than Antara. I still stand by my idea that MJ detests weak women, the weaker the woman is the more he detests her. Maybe he behaves more differently with Diya?
4. The Maya-Rudra conversation was eerily like the Antara-MJ conversation with just the tables reversed. Rishi is stuck, he has to talk to his Dad, but like Antara, he'd fail at that. Rishi and Antara aren't egoistic enough like Rudra to do what they have promised to do. However Rishi is impulsive and insecure when it comes to another man in Maya's life. If Antara were to sense the danger of another woman maybe she'd act more differently and more strongly to counter that.
