As for Sanjh, honestly I had mixed feelings about her. I feel she was overhated because she wasn’t the main female lead. Yeah she had one sided love for Arjun but she is one of the very few characters that never turned psycho cause of that unlike what happens in ITV usually, where the 2nd FL will turn psycho cause she wants the ML. The show wasn't my fav but damn I was mind blown by how Maya faked her death 🤯 I stopped the show halfway so not sure what she did afterwards.
All I know there was a leap, and Arjun and Sanjh got married, and for some reason Maya was surrogate, which I found really strange.
I don’t think saanjh was overhated. That show made me realize that such characters/ people are worse than the typical villains we see. But they were probably being realistic as most homewreckers are like that irl. I only liked her the first 2 weeks. Then she turned super annoying and crazy. It’s not like I was biased or anything as I started watching the show as a neutral viewer, and I didn’t even like Jennifer at that time. I am still not her fan. But the writing and acting made me hate saanjh and many characters in that show and feel for Maya the most.
I found saanjh very irritating and worse than seeing villains because at least they are not glorified (except for bajaj) and shown to viewers how they are, but this filth was shown as some saint even though she was obsessed with Arjun, would stalk him and Maya, try to kiss him, would get happy when Maya would get hurt and everything else. If she had been shown grey like Maya was, many wouldn’t have been so irritated by her. It’s the fact that she was grey and not some selfless person but was still shown and said to be this great person. I also blame Arjun and Maya’s mother the most and then Maya too. Arjun was useless from the beginning. He was egoistic and narcissistic. He loved himself only, then his child and then Maya (selfishly). I hated Maya for being into him when she was so much better than him and deserved so much better.
The show was like so Maya is bad, then others are automatically good even if they are also doing wrongs and committing crimes
