Rudra: Tumhare har dar ke saamne main khada hoon.

Does Rudra know the truth? Does he know only a certain percentage of the truth? Is he as clueless as he seems? Is he protecting Maya to know the truth or is he protecting Maya because he committed himself to saving her soul? I like the way creatives and writers give those dicey lines to him. Sets you thinking and honestly, that is what a thriller should do.

Coming to today's episode, more than flinching at all the violence that was inflicted on Maya , what has become intolerable are the faces of MJ ( when you google devil , his picture will show up), Antara ( cocaine pancakes, psychotic restless behaviour ), Diya ( queen of no expressions and cruelty), Sudhir ( always constipated and cruel ), Ananya ( C grade Nancy Drew and possible second wife of MJ looking at her blind fixation with him ) , Aamir ( no dialogues but a spectator of all this cringefest) - I mean, you wonder that why are you all even alive? I have heard of incidents in all classes of society where whole families are mute spectators and even participants in violence meted out to the defenceless - and if just to see an example of it makes you dig your skin, imagine the horror such victims go through in real life. And it happens. Behind closed doors.

What I understood today is that Maya is born out of ashes of Maanvi and the fire of her enemies - she is alive for only revenge and poetic justice ; Rudra is just a reason to live a short fairytale because she wants to feel what it is like to be loved and respected for once in her life. Maya has already thought of the war's consequence in her head and the burning of the dollhouse showed that. Remember what she had said once - "Sab kucch jal jaane ke baad hi mujhe sukoon milega."..... Yes, she loves Rudra and will put his life before hers, but NOTHING CAN DETER HER FROM HER PATH OF REVENGE. Just like Kill Bill's "Here comes the bride" where her wrong doers knew that that she deserves her revenge and they deserve to die. Maya has accepted her heart's rebirth ( Rudra) but she has chosen her Karma and more than anyone, she knows where and how this story will end. Sometimes, you have died so many times , been killed in so many ways , that your old fabric turns to ashes and what is borne out of them is not a Phoenix, but a Grim Reaper.Maya is not a Phoenix. She is a grim reaper and she sees death as the ultimate reality and ultimate punishment.

But none of the above will happen until Maya conquers her fear of MJ. For all the darkness, devilry, courage that she has shown, she has not recovered from her PTSD as far as MJ is concerned. True, as Rudra had promised, he stood in front of her biggest fear, he held her hand, he defended her, he blasted everyone, he lied for her- he stood like a fort that couldn't be overtaken by the enemy, he became the guard that he had promised to become , BUT TILL WHEN? One day, Maya has to face MJ on her own, without getting an anxiety attack, without giving that ogre an impression that she is scared of him. The day that happens, MJ's half game is over - Monsters feed more on your fear of them than their existence. Darr khatam, shaitaan khatam. Rudra can show her the door of courage, he can take a bullet for her, he can encourage and empower her, but it's Maya who has to pick the weapon. Maya could give those glares and devilish grins to the Roy clan because Rudra's shoulders protected her - she has to learn to take them head on. Rudra is her strength , but there is no way that he should become her crutch.

Rudra's love for Maya is overwhelming and scary at the same time - such passion has extremes - both in light and darkness. All I can say is that one hopes that Rudra is able to rise like a Phoenix from his ashes when the whole reality is revealed to him. We already have Maya as the Grim Reaper, we need Rudra's light.

BTW, can Ananya just get the hell out of Rudra's house and try collecting some pieces of her shredded dignity and self respect? Even better, marry MJ - he has a thing for women who are doormats, you know. That's his kink.

P.S- Do you think it's Rudra who saved Maanvi all those years ago? Just guessing. 😃

As always amazing post MM❤️

Even I feel Rudra might be the one who might've saved her in the past but didn't recognize her due to the mud on her face

Thank you, Pranu❤️ and i feel the same. Rudra may have been her saviour and he didn't recognize her as she had mud on her face when she was found.

Dude Ditto ..i too guessed that the guy who saved Manvi wud be Rudra...

Honestly speaking...Antara’s behaviour was cringe worthy...how she acted all happy n normal in the precap..

I was expecting that kinda move from MJ..but Antara...ewww...she’s a leech..Diya seconds her ..

And both the actors deserve an applause for making us averse that character

MJ and Maya was...totally game ON..

I always love reading your posts. That's the first third I do after watching the episode

To the question in the end, even if it's not I wish Rudra was the one who saved Maanvi. That would totally justify Rudra's dialogue saying 'humara koi purana connection hai kya?' 😉

Thank you. ❤️...Antara is getting to another level of a doormat sticking to a devil and the actress ensures that we hate her. Diya is too cool and honestly, we need more layers to her character.

I hope Rudra is the man who saved Manvi all those years ago.

MJ's and Maya are game on and the trophy is actually Rudra. Hmm.

Thank you, BB. Much appreciated. 🤗.....That dialogue would really connect if Rudra turns out to be Maya's saviour 10 years ago.

If Rudra had saved her why maya tried to kill rudra

I think its rajeev whose the saviour

Or could be Amir or someone double crossing MJ

Thank you😃. We can just guess but I hope there is more to the person who saved Maya.

I don't think it was Rudra Or Maya would have been indebted to him from start instead of being confrontational with him and posing as a challenge before him.

Coming to the episode, god it was gut wrenching to watch Manvi being physically abused and thrown into a ditch to die. Jenny deserves a standing ovation for her performance and the ability to transition thousands of emotions in seconds.

I was smiling watching her getting a dollhouse. It's something that people who love to control use to feel in control. Her keeping Rudra aside and swearing to save his life was heartwarming. Remember she used the words "beyhad pyaar" for Rudra for the first time.

But for me the most interesting part of the episode was Rudra defending and protecting Maya. The confidence with which he lied, even Maya was left stunned. I have a strong hunch, Nandini/Rajeev have filled him in about Mayas traumatic past and since he loves her truly, he is supporting her to get justice. I often feel that MayRa deserve a happy ever after but the way their story is written, they seem like two people who meet at a juncture in life and then head on opposite sides, each better off than before with a memory of each other but not actually ending up together.
