I remembered a Dostoyevsky quote today: One man doesn't believe in god at all, while the other believes in him so thoroughly that he prays as he murders men. 😆 This is Maya when one looks at her from the surface. But on digging deeper, she looks more like a black angel. She only changed the color of her robe, but she is still an angel. Why do I feel so? When she says about bali, she cuts her own wrist. This time, she had put black soot of the auspicious lamp on her tongue, something to account for her 'kaali zaban' (what is says or wishes comes true). She put Antara's medicine in her mouth and spit it out, like the medicine connected both their tongue or words. After that whatever Antara spoke at the party, her pain as a woman, looked like Maya's pain as well that she couldn't vocalize. Maya's pain may vary a bit factually, but one can assume for now, something like her womanly self-respect was broken by MJ. When Maya drowns Antara into the water, a new Antara would be born, like Shreya had discussed earlier about Maya's rebirth from water in her thread.
Nice analysis. A very interesting take. Thanks @tournesol. Sorry forgot your name☺️
