Rudra gauged by his own instinct that Maya is in Hrishikesh, while nobody else could.
Rudra desperately explained to Ananya that he will never be free of Maya.
Rudra played the runaway groom and sped out of the city without a thought of the mess he is leaving behind.
Rudra literally hunted for Maya like a madman in the gullies of the holy city.
Rudra almost strangled an old man in a fit of rage because the man called Maya by the name she has earned.
Rudra found Maya before the trail of the black beads even finished, shocking the life out of our oh-so-smug Maya.
Rudra grabbed Maya and told her there is no place in this world where she will not find him.
Rudra almost made Maya forget the "Khooni aurat" zone until MJ called...
And as we saw in the precap, Rudra unleashed himself on Maya and even Ganga Maiya told Maya to go take a hike somewhere.
Rudra Roy is slowly but steadily defining that Sanak is not just what Maya shows. There is a whole different shade to insanity that he is painting - Emotional Insanity - Jazbaat ki sanak.
The cool, calm, collected cute good boy is slowly unleashing a shade that Maya should worry about, instead of basking in it. Rudra has become emotionally obsessed with her and all her "haaye main tooti dil ki haari bechaari" drama has connected Rudra to her like a conjoined twin. I was actually facepalm-ing when Maya was playing the scorned superdukhi aatma to Rudra because the more she plays this emotional attyachaar with him, the more fixated he becomes with her. Now, he sees himself as the only hope, love and world that Maya will ever have. He has become a 'soul saviour " for Maya and he has attached emotional fixation with it - He feels that if he is not there, his Maya will not live. He has a saviour complex , a martyr complex and a passionate intense personality. Dreamy but dangerous too.
If you notice the symbolism ( I AM NOT SURE IF THE WRITERS THOUGHT IT THAT WAY , BUT THIS IS AN INTERPRETATION ) , Rudra collected all the bad karmas of Maya ( the trailing beads ) and showed them to her, shocking her and making her drop the bad karmas that she held to execute. Rudra sees himself as the cleanser and light of Maya's life and he has worn that identity completely. Maybe this should make Maya happy or maybe it shouldn't. Because this means that Rudra is never ever going to leave her or her trail - be it in love or be it in hatred.
Maya can play her games as long as Rudra doesn't unleash his passion on her because the moment Rudra goes all 'Mayafied' on Maya, the woman even forgets where she is standing. Like she did today , until MJ's call broke her trance. The girl can use all her brains to play her filthy games ; Rudra will always be standing in her way with his heart.
Maya's sanak is expected ; Rudra's sanak is unexpected and just gathering flesh. Beyhadh nafrat : Beyhadh Mohabbat.
As for Maya, it is clear that Maya's mind is set on her revenge game , but that heart of hers , at the most critical time will give in to Rudra. Her heart falters and even she gets confused when she is being real with Rudra and when is she acting. The schism!
Maya will win but Rudra will not lose either. He is her EQUAL.
And no, Ganges cannot drown Rudra. Maya is not a divine force, Rudra is no paapi and it is not his time. Above all, Ganga comes from Lord Shiva.... how can she drown His namesake?
Rest of the episode is not important except Ashish's hotness and that is not something to discuss. ☺️
P.S- Anyone else thinks that Rudra and Maya always look ready to kiss? 🤔
