I just have three things to say about today's episode alongwith a footnote for the writing team:
- I have to say it that Jennifer Winget is a fine actress and she gets the nuances of pyaarwaali Maya and khoon ki pyaasi Maya pretty well. The dreamy, lovable and longing look that Maya was fleetingly giving Rudra when he was defending Maya by saying that she feels his pain and worries only about him is snapped off by Rajeev's dialogues that remind her that it's entrapment. The way the actress switched her reactions from innocence and admiration to coldness and control was wow. She makes it easy to understand when Maya is faking and when she is not.
 
- Maya thinks she knows Rudra very well and he will die a foolish Majnu for her while she celebrates , but here's an observation. Men like Rudra are layered like an onion. You look at it - it's a pretty pinky purply cutie veggie. You start cutting it and it makes you cry rivers. Rudra is calm, collected and playful on the surface , but sometimes people like him often have explosive chaos inside them, that is passionate , intense and edges on insane emotions. Maya is inviting chaos by seducing and manipulating Rudra into falling in love with her. His intensity and the extent he can be passionate about her is going to weigh heavily on her. Sometimes you invite what you cannot handle. And it doesn't sit well if you are bordering on feelings for him , too. The way the story is going, Rudra will be Maya's nemesis. Not MJ. Maya is smart, calculative and manipulative. Rudra is intense, passionate and territorial. Think it over. Beta kisee ko pyaar mein phansaane mein aur phir uss pyaar ko handle karne mein zameen aasmaan ka fark hota hai. What Rajeev said for Rudra may actually ring true for Maya - Pairon tale zameen Rudra ke nahin , Maya ke khiskegi. It is inevitable for Maya to be in love with Rudra. Rudra is just so consuming. You can rarely fight a passion like that once it sets it's eyes on you.
 
- Ananya should be officially adopted by MJ uncle. Ye end tak MJ uncle ko nahin chhodhne waali. Saccha commitment yahaan hai. Rudra hai kaun, bro?
