I would say what Rudra did to ananya was very similar to what MJ did to manvi
Both betrayed the women after showing promise of marriage
But MJ did to bigger extent but Rudra to lesser extent
But both was betrayal of trust only to the women they promised to spend full life with
Both lied to the women whom they promised to stay with for life
Only thing MJ exceeded and had physical relationship and baby
Rudra had only platonic relationship
But betrayal is betrayal be it at altar or no altar
So we do not know what pain ananya must be feeling for what Rudra did to her
In india if a man leaves woman at altar and runs off society will think something wrong with bride only not with groom
So its not like ananya will not face consequence of Rudras betrayal
We all know many famous actress had been promised love and marraige by actors and than left before reaching altar than they had to marry divorced men. You do not easily get good men or unmarried men after your boy friend betrays you. Aishwarya Rai was only lucky actress who got a bachelor husband after her break up with boy friend. Rest be it Shilpa Shetty, raveena, karishma etc everyone knows what happened with them. Their professional life was also finished after break up. So lets not assume ananya is rich educated etc so Rudra leaving her at altar and running off on marriage day will not impact her personal or professional life. Its not that simple in indian and asian society for a woman. Men can have many affairs and girl friends yet get a unmarried woman as wife but a woman cannot expect same treatment by society usually exceptions are there. but thats all luck.
Life is unfair especially for women in society lets not close eyes to that fact and say ananya is lucky she would have loveless life with rudra, rrudra would cheat her if he married etc
80% marriages in india are arranged marriages out of that atleast 10-20% the boy or girl wants to marry someone else but parents force to marry their choice. So do all those 10-20% have loveless lives or husbands start affairs with ex. Hardly 2-3% will do that, rest 95% will accept fate and go about their married life. Forget todays gen what about 20-40 years back did all marry willingly no, but they adjusted majority accepted their spouses with time and life went on. Very few will start extra marital affair with ex girl friend or lover after marriage. So lets not assume ananya would be unhappy in her marriage or rudra would start an affair with maya outside marraige etc. MJ is exception 2-3% case. He will start affair even if he married his lover his such man. Rudra may have turned out loyal to ananya if they had married who knows? Maya knew that once rudra marries anu he will turn loyal to anu and not her, thats why she tried her best to break his marriage at any cost even risking sending her mother to MJ house.
I think before we start writing such heavy stuff, it is important to remember that this is a show. things are shown only for the sake of drama, without giving much thought to real life implications. I refuse to overthink about reality because this only fiction.
Rudra would be loyal towards ananya, but even before marriage he was emotionally cheating on her. so are you sure he won't be emotionally cheating on her while being married? or only physical cheating counts in this regard? being in a loveless marriage of convenience is possible but it becomes a burden when your husband/best friend is so deeply interwoven with another woman. sometimes, marriages like Ananya and Rudra's work , but does that apply when one party is already in love with someone else? Rudra may not have cheated, but he would be miserable and same with ananya unless she distracted herself with the title of mrs. roy like antara. why would anyone settle for a marriage of convenience when there is another woman who you are hopelessly in love with?
We are in 2020 right now, a new decade where people are more aware, independent and open minded. so why should we still abide or listen to misconceptions that existed 20-40 years ago? back then, marriage was seen as a necessity after a certain age. People married because that is what was expected, especially for women. Now, we have more freedom to think, to live and to fall in love. you should not get married just to settle but because you WANT to get married to someone you truly connect with. Maybe the newer generation is still doing that, but that is not how it should be. Let's not try to set the clock back to 1984, we need to be progressive no matter how regressive our society is.
I hate getting so deep into reality because Beyhadh is only a show. so when we think and discuss, it should be within the parameters of a fictional show and its characters. if we look at it contextually, Maya and rudra's relationship was written and developed in such a way that rudra and ananya would not have worked. There are hundreds of television shows on ITV about a marriage of convenience that turned into true love, because that is the story writers wanted to write. which is not the case with beyhadh. It is very easy to move past lust but rudra feels more than lust for maya. In her, he found someone who sparks his soul, that is how writers developed their story. We can write essays about what happens in real life but the thing is, this is not real life.
Please understand that aishwarya left salman because he abused her. even without marrying abhishek, she is lucky because she was able to stand up to salman khan. after that messy break up, she went on to date vivek oberoi who she allegedly used then dumped for bigger fish like AB Jr. you and I don't know what is happening in a celebrity's life, so it is very offensive of you to assume their bad break ups were the reason why they could not get bachelor husbands. A women's luck is defined by many things, not by whether their husband was a bachelor or not. secondly, shriya bhupal, fashion designer and grand daughter of GVK reddy called off her engagement with Nagarjuna's son, but she went to happily marry anindth reddy who, as far I know, was a bachelor.
