I think makers intentionally wrote Saanjh, Maya’s mom, Arjun and Arjun’s mom that way so Maya could be accepted and audience would root for her. Of course, the weak acting by those didn’t help the situation. Only Maya’s mom acting was good. She was really good, but as a character she was such a b*tch. I say it was done intentionally because if you see S2, the same writers didn’t make ML as confused or shown as red flag. One could truly feel he loved Maya unlike Arjun who was shown as so selfish and self-centered. The best friend in s2 is also shown as normal character and not chipku chipku with the married best friend. Both the ML and the bestie knew their boundaries so they were not hated by the audienceOriginally posted by: Phir_Mohabbat
Beyhadh is such an interesting show and glad to see it's still talked about
The double standard of society and itv is viraj dobariyal can be as unhinged as he wants, and people would love him, ship him with harshads character, him torturing jhanvi is a meme now
For maya since she's a girl she can't be viraj dobariyal. So every XYZ character is responsible for bechari maya. Arjun is bad, sanjh is bad, her father was abusive, mother was weak, Arjun's mother was bad. Sare bad people milke maya ko pagal bana diya. Ab bechari kya kare, sasuma itni kamini thi maarna to tha. Wahi deserve krti hai because she never liked maya.
Sanjh Arjun chipka chikpi especially post maya arjun marriage was uncomfortable, and I think when the leap came where arjun sanjh were married they were made ten times villains. What else would sanjh character be if not married to Arjun lol. That was meant for her
It's talent of Jennifer that maya who killed Arjun's mother and basically kept arjun on house arrest, mentally tortured him and sanjh, went to jail for her crimes and died due to her sins are applauded for the thins viraj did in his show as well. Maya did good thing by torturing xyz people and it's never her fault. I think a black character completely unhinged maya would be too much for itv. She needed to be bechari and everyone villain for her issues.
I wonder if there were better actors on per with Jenny, like maybe harshad as arjun and Aditi as sanjh with less chipka chipki scenes, I wonder if they would be as much villanized. I wonder if aneri thinks doing this role was the worst decision of her career. She was forgotten from Nisha to annoying chipku sanjh
Also realized mr hooda was Maya's dad lol
