Ep 50: Dhokhe ka ek usool hota hai; interest ke saath lautane ka

Well, today the show completed 50 episodes....yayyyy!!!!🥳 Congratulations to the entire Beyhadh fandom! Well honestly, I was impressed with the editing of the episode tonight, the balance between flashback and present was done very well. So without beating around the bush, I would just go ahead with my post.

Maya's strength Rudra - So as we see, that Maya is gradually trying to overcome her fear for Mrityunjay and standing up to face him eye-to-eye. And man, I was thoroughly impressed. Rudra has no idea what his presence does for Maya and neither does he realize that even in his absence, his essence has a similar effect on her. But, but, but we have a problem. The problem being that Rudra can be her strength in that house, but ultimately she has to fight her battles on her own. She cannot cower away in fear or breakdown so easily. Rudra knows nothing about the equation of his family and Maya, so he is of no help here, and Maya cannot tell him the entire truth either, as long he is not ready to hear that truth. So, right now Maya Rudra Roy nahi, Maya Mehrotra is needed here. She was one badass female, she needs to call onto her spirit and unleash that side of hers on this rotten family. The Roys also need to know what Maya is capable of. Kab tak parda nasheen rahogi behen, kuch jalwe dikhao. Hahakar macha do pure khandaan me. I am with you.

Chakravyuh for Abhimanyu - So, today we saw Manvi Singh as the Abhimanyu in Mrityunjay's chakravyuh. And Manvi was trying, you know, however little that effort was, she was trying to come out of it because she knew that a relationship with a married man is wrong in every way. She tried and got emotionally manipulated. Manvi Singh was emotional, she was in love. But love makes you so helpless sometimes. Love blinds you to all the caution that the wind is throwing at you. And like Abhimanyu ko saare maharathiyon ne gherkar maara tha, Manvi ko bhi gher ke maara gaya tha - Sudhir, Aamir, Antara, Diya and more to come. And we all know how each of those maharathis died right - Krishna ki maya se, chhal se. Kyunki wo chhal hi adharmiyon ke khilaaf kiya jaane wala dharm tha. Arre, ab to mujhe bura bhi nahi lagega agar Maya apne haathon se inn sab ki mundiyan kaat de. Kali hai na, mundmal gale me hi rehta hai unke. Kisiko mat chodna Maya, kisiko bhi nahi.

Mrityunjay's torture - I am sorry, but not accepting flowers can also be a crime is what I came to know today. Why is a 'NO' such a big deal for men? What is this toxic thinking? And when the hell will it go. Anyway, so Mrityunjay, is a manipulative sociopathic narcissist who could not accept a no for flowers. So he set out to ruin Manvi. He lured her, trapped her and threw her away. That slap on Maya's face was a slap to the purity and sanctity of her feelings, of her love, of her faith which she placed in him. That torture was the torture of her heartbreaking piece by piece. That insult and humiliation was her soul and her self-respect being reduced to mud. Coming to the manhandling, I know it was not in good taste, but if they don't show it, we will never understand why is Maya so unhinged. And that was just the beginning of punishment for her falling in love. Abhi to aur bhi hai aage. Ab to lagta hai, ki aage isse aur dekhne ko milega to Rishi ka murder bura nahi lagega.

Manvi to Maya - Mrityunjay and Gabbar gang tortured her so much that her soul, her mind, her heart everything is unhinged. Nobody would stay sane after all this, and I don't think she was either. She was waiting for revenge for 10 years because Manvi was broken beyond repair and to become Maya and stand back up on your feet again, it needed a lot of courage and willpower. And even after all that, she still has panic seizures. No wonder she was bloodthirsty and was after their blood. Arre, I am telling you, anyone in that position would have done what Maya did. And let's not pull in any justifications, because this show isn't about justifications. But thankfully Rudra pulled her back from her destructive fury. Because killing them is not going to bring her any peace. It will just ravage her already ravaged soul. She needs to use her brain now and not her heart. Manipulate these people against each other. Use them to destroy each other. Use their vices against them.

Chessboard in play - Maya is the Black Queen, Rudra is the Black King, Rajeev is the black knight. On the other hand, Mrityunjay is the White King and Aamir the White Knight. In chess, the king is always in a weak spot, and the queen is the real strength. Maya is the black queen who is the strength of this chessboard and Rudra being the black king is weak because he is not privy to the reality yet. In actuality, Rudra is Maya's strength, who will stand behind her and Maya will fight the battle against the Roys, with her knight Rajiv. In Mrityunjay's case, he is the White king, but without a queen, because that is apt to his persona. He does not consider any woman his equal, let alone be his strength on the chessboard. His faith is in a man which is his brother and colleague Aamir. So bisaat bich gayi hai, let's take this game forward.

Other Highlights:

I appreciate the fact that they have changed Maya's look from the crazed femme fatale to the demure wife. Her hair in soft curls and minimal makeup give her the softness which is apt because she is Rudra's Maya and not Maya Jaisingh. Maya Jaisingh was a femme fatale with straight hair, stilletoes, prim and proper, out to kill. Maya Roy is more demure, sublime, soft curls, block heels, soft makeup, who is Rudra's lovely wife but hasn't lost that crazed psychopanti of Maya Jaisingh. They have shown her transitioning from Kali to Gauri real well.

Okay, can we now have Rajiv already? I am not liking Maya all alone in that rotten khandaan. Arre bhai hone ka farz ada karo Rajiv. Kaha gaye tum. Ab aa bhi jao. Bahut miss kar rahe hai tumhe.

And Maya please, ab apne rang dikhao behen. Kal se Mrityunjay ki gundagardi on hai. Apne andar ke Maya Mehrotra / Jaisingh ko jagao didi. Ye, "Oh meri, oh meri, oh meri sharmilee" mode se bahar aao ab. Woh apne pati ke liye bacha ke rakho. Baaki maut ka nanga naach shuru karo, baalike. Ab aur intezaar nahi hota.

Well, that's from me tonight. Let's hear out yours.

Well after watching this episode all I want is for Maya to mercilessly torture MJ and his gang of kameenas,toss them off to hell and live happily with Rudra. Maine toh aaj ke aaj Rishi ka khoon maaf kardiya.

Everything which had occurred with Manvi helps one understand Maya's actions more clearly even if they cannot be justified.The physical,mental and emotional carnage she was subjected to just because of wounding a man's fragile ego is more than enough to scar any individual for life.She opted for revenge and not justice because her trauma blurred every line between right and wrong for her.And there is more to come.

It was endearing to see Maya finding solace in Rudra.It was probably the first time in a decade that she felt safe and protected.He is her armour as well as her sword in this war.A part of me felt sad as well and kept going to the What If zone. What if it was Rudra who had entered Manvi's life first and not Mrityunjay? Maybe things would have turned out differently. But then we wouldn't be having this story in the first place.

I agree that Rajeev needs to come back immediately because,as you said,he is Maya's black knight. But at the same time,I worry for his safety because the Kameena Gang is capable of anything.

It was such a difficult episode to watch today.. MJ teaching a young little girl a lesson for blunt catering his man ego.. using her abusing her and then killing her baby and killing her too.. and wait she mentioned there was more to come? Till now we saw only MJs deeds.. what did the rest do? Antara giving a blind eye as usual to support her husband.. diya blinded to support MJ trying to kill d baby.. sudhir aamir ? Did they abuse her too? It's hard to take this but thankfully makers are going in jet speed to show us the flashbacks..

Rudra is the only gleam of hope for Maya but its strong enough for her to withstand MJ whom some time back she would curl up in fear at his footsteps.. love is strength and how.. she could look into MJs eyes and tell him that she was Maya Rudra Roy.. Maya and her MJ ness is gone...its manvi who has taken strength to handle herself once again..

Rudra still has a lot of work to do.. proposal and marriage is just a start.. he will know her past soon I am sure.. not about MJ but what her pains are and what turned her into this darkness.. he will turn those into light slowly..

Maya is the black queen now and Rudra being the king and there is knight too.. these are raw main pawns in chess.. MJ has no queen.. no queen is no strength... only the knight doesnt do a thing..

Am just waiting for this flashbacks to finish and come to the real deal of today and how this whole revenge will move ahead.. some party is gonna happen soon.. so something will also happen along I feel.. well let's see how the makers play out .

MayRa scenes are serene and beautiful.. sweet to be honest yet keeping it mature.. esp d bit today.. please keep giving us more.. esp between showing so much MJs abuse these scenes help us to calm down..

To think all the flak maya got yesterday for being stupid. yeah, a dumb 20 year old was charmed by a her older boss. where have we heard that before? it is not a novel concept but it happens. however, it was obvious that her rage and blood thirst stems from the inhuman torture she experienced, not the lies and betrayal.

All this people pretended to be her well wishers then silently watched, even smirked as MJ ripped her apart. If at least one tried to save maya or warn her, then this would not have happened. all it would take is one person. My head spins at the absolute injustice and depravity of everyone involved.

Do I think maya should have killed rishi? no. did he deserve it? no but I GET IT. this is not about justice, it is about spilling blood and showing no mercy. I don't condone it, but I understand....finally. Because as I watched the manipulation, torture, and Maya's naivety...even i felt like ripping everyone apart. The scary part is that people like this actually exist in the world. Additionally, maya is slightly unhinged. not fully, but she is unstable after what happened thus the difference between right and wrong has blurred for her.

Rudra is a balm to Maya's soul. It is endearing how soft she becomes when he is around, almost childlike and Rudra treats her like a glass doll This may not last long and who know what will happen at the end, but I'm so happy that this girl knows what it felt like to be cherished and loved even if it is for a little while.

The depth of MayRA's connection was shown and executed beautifully.(this is the only time Cv's get points on execution) however, there will be a time Rudra will hate her, wont want anything to do with her. What then? how will maya go on then? she needs to be her own strength.

not surprisingly, the show completely collapses when there are no mayra scenes to the point I wonder why I'm even watching it. The show lacks grip and intrigue. Had it not been for MayRa/jenshiv, I wouldn't even be watching the show. ugh I hope it does not get an extension.

During rudra and nandini first meet in hospital there was a fb scene of shown where antra console maya that till she is with her nothing wrong happened to her. I think manvi tell about MJ's cheating but antra sided with mj and betrayed manvi. Though manvi is naive or dumb but she is still has some strength not equal to maya so she think that antra is also a strong women .

Hi L...you pretty much summed up my feelings about the episode! The last two days of watching MJ, the slimy smarmy masochist duping & using & abusing Manvi has been a torture to watch. But a very necessary one because now we truly understand the depths of despair which went into creating Maya Jaisingh! And finally we as audience can connect to her pain & transformation. And to think there is more to come:( I, for one am very glad they are covering the back story at jet speed cause it’s really difficult to watch. And I feel once the flashbacks are over Manvi will show her true current persona to MJ and gang. Waiting for her to unleash her fury on this whole clan. I do hope she plays it smartly and makes them dig their own graves rather than the kill bill version of justice. That should be reserved for the white king alone. And Rudra needs to know her story soon...hope they don’t delay it too much and keep him clueless & out of the loop from the source of Maya’s Inner turmoil.

Thankfully the writers had mercy on us and kept a few beautiful moments of Maya & Rudra’s unfolding love story...they were like a sight for sore eyes! Honestly after watching MJ it is such a relief to lay eyes on Rudra and see him handling Maya like the fragile little girl that she truly was & still is in his presence.

Btw have enjoyed reading your take on the episodes in the last couple of weeks:)

i am literally crying after reading some opinion on twitter and this forums

how people are judging manvi

that much they are not even judging mj as he is man and was was just what all man are

a girl has to be always careful and decide

anyway i feel sorry for society and its women only who judge women

and people expect maya to be devi after what happened with her even if they crully killed her child brother and father as its means nothing as she killed rishi

why people are talking about real life where criminal got justice right way by victim but forget this is just 0.1 percent case but the later 99.9 percent case not only victim their whole family are killed and the criminal get white cheat

they are not able to sypathise with maya as she was not careful and got manipulated and killed rishi

woww

they will not judge criminal who will do thousand wrong and will feel their pain and sympathise with everyone after everything he did

but not with maya as they expect good people to be totally good weather how much wrong happened with them and bad people if they do wrong how much then its ok as they are mad

they all not know there is a grey zone

anyway i feel disgusted sometime for the way manvi is judged and said that they are not able to hate mj or much empathy for manvi

they will have sympathy for even antara because she is married but manvi is at fault because she was not married

why woman are judgen for being in love and relationship because they are not married

i am sure mj if maya would not have even said yes he would have totured her but then only people would have been ok as maya not done aany wrong

i am literally crying even typing seeing these type of views sorry if am being harsh or i said something wrong

but the fact is women will never support women because they will be found in fault even f it unknowingly and especially unmarried one what type of society is this

it is same as you ask your girl to be careful of boys but never ask you boys to treat girl with respect as whatever happen grl has to suffer so she has to be responsible but boy can make someone suffer so its ok not to teach them

i see thousand cases around me where a boy is treated ok for doing wrong but the same girl is judged harshly by society because they dared to live openly and not carefully

the victims are judgesfor mistake but the culprit daily goes to court for some relief like nirbhaya case

or the culprit who were victimised in hyderabad rape encounter case

the culprit do wrong and everyone is ok with it but if they are wronged then people jump on the name of morality and constitution and laws

wowww

i salute this society and women

men are not powerful because they are men they are powerful because they support each other and even women for their selfish reason support them and not stand with unity

the day all women will become strong only when they will be united not when men will stand with her

but the fact is opposite

likewise culprit and criminal are doing mistake because we lawa and moral ke thikedar support them more than understanding victim pain

if there would maya for each mj then there would be no mjbut the fact is noone can be maya as there are only some phoolan devi in real life but they even are not spared on the name of laws and lastly are killed and society not feel much how much they feel and give gyaan for her turning into daku and killing herself all her culprit

Suno behen, happy life with Rudra is a foregone conclusion as of now. So I have no idea if there is a happy ending written on the cards for them. But yes, after tonight, sabki mundi uda de, to main judge nahi karungi, kyunki woh log deserve karte hai ye.

Everything which had occurred with Manvi helps one understand Maya's actions more clearly even if they cannot be justified.The physical,mental and emotional carnage she was subjected to just because of wounding a man's fragile ego is more than enough to scar any individual for life.She opted for revenge and not justice because her trauma blurred every line between right and wrong for her.And there is more to come.

Maya is mentally shattered. Her conscious mind isn't aligned with her conscience anymore. All the links inside her which made her human are broken or damaged. So a mentally stable person would think of doing constructive destruction. A mind and heart which is ravaged to the core cannot make decisions of constructive destruction. She is volatile and unstable, and isolating herself has made her even more unhinged. Kali ka kya problem tha, ke woh kaal ke pare thi, unko time, creation, sustenance, ye sab nahi samajh aata tha, that is where Shiva stepped in, kyunki unko srishti se badhna important tha because otherwise, she cannot channel her rage. Maya ka bhi wohi problem hai. Rudra has tied her down in his boundaries of love, which are her shield and her comfort as well.

It was endearing to see Maya finding solace in Rudra.It was probably the first time in a decade that she felt safe and protected.He is her armour as well as her sword in this war.A part of me felt sad as well and kept going to the What If zone. What if it was Rudra who had entered Manvi's life first and not Mrityunjay? Maybe things would have turned out differently. But then we wouldn't be having this story in the first place.

What-ifs to hai. But he is Rudra for a reason. He is the Black king for a reason. He may not support her for the death of his brother is on her, but what Mrityunjay did to her, he cannot forgive that either. In his wave of emotion and anger,he may not see that, but he will after a point. And the time for him to know the truth hasn't arrived yet.

I agree that Rajeev needs to come back immediately because,as you said,he is Maya's black knight. But at the same time,I worry for his safety because the Kameena Gang is capable of anything.

Arre Rajiv to apne in-house Hanuman ji hai, chhat se latak gaya Maya ke liye, to iss kamino ki fauj ko jhelna kya cheez hai.

Exactly, dhokha khaakar koi aisa nahi banta. Aisa koi tab banta hai jab koi todta hai insaan ko, "Rooh ko toda, aise madoda" just like the song suggested. Mrityunjay ne Maya ke rooh ko toda tha, ab us rooh ko jodna hai Rudra ko.

All this people pretended to be her well wishers then silently watched, even smirked as MJ ripped her apart.

Depravity is such a lenient term. They were all wretched, badniyat people. Aise logo ke marne par to main aansun bhi na bahaun.

I don't know man. After Monday's episode probably I will think, "Acha hua Rishi tapak gaya", the way they are showing the flashback story. The man is such a beast that killing a son forged in his mirror image who idolized him, would probably hurt the most to Mrityunjay. Killings are never justified. But in a war, every kill is a step towards the beginning of the end. Draupadi's vastrahan wasn't justified, Abhimanyu's killing wasn't justified - key points here being a woman's honor being stripped and a child who did not grow up to see the light of the day, and both happened to Manvi. This is agonizing that even justice falls short man. In Mahabharat, no one really got a happy ending, because it wasn't meant to be one - it was a story of humans paying the price to establish dharm over adharm.

Rudra is a balm to Maya's soul. It is endearing how soft she becomes when he is around, almost childlike and Rudra treats her like a glass doll This may not last long and who know what will happen at the end, but I'm so happy that this girl knows what it felt like to be cherished and loved even if it is for a little while.

The depth of MayRA's connection was shown and executed beautifully.(this is the only time Cv's get points on execution) however, there will be a time Rudra will hate her, wont want anything to do with her. What then? how will maya go on then? she needs to be her own strength.

Rudra will not hate her. He will definitely not condone Rishi's death, but he will not spare Mrityunjay either. The agony of Manvi that brought about this destruction, will not let Rudra spare Mrityunjay. And Rudra can never hate Maya.

not surprisingly, the show completely collapses when there are no mayra scenes to the point I wonder why I'm even watching it. The show lacks grip and intrigue. Had it not been for MayRa/jenshiv, I wouldn't even be watching the show. ugh I hope it does not get an extension.

You never know dear. If they are appreciated then they will definitely extend the show. Honestly, I want to see some people on Maya's side as well. I mean, Maya alone versus against the world. Kuch aur supporters lao na Maya ke liye except for Rudra and Rajiv.

I see why Maya has no desire to live. she is hanging on by thread so she can destroy her tormentors. Then she will destroy herself because can she continue to live after what she has done? this revenge will eventually drive her mad and perhaps maya thinks, it is better to obliterate herself than to live that existence. Her complete revenge and death is her sukoon.
