Whenever we release an arrow, we have to pull the arrow backward, to release the arrow to achieve its target. Whenever we jump or take a plunge, we move 2 steps back so that we can run to take that plunge. Tonight, was a case similar to this. Maya was pushed or pushed herself 2 steps backward in her mighty plan to bring mighty Roys down. Now when you are in the midst of a war, you will win some and you will lose some and tonight we saw that Maya lost - to her other-self. On one hand, I am willing to understand her trauma, but on the other, I am questioning her plans - because if you are coming out in the open from the shadows, then there are a lot of variables to consider - like the Roy family. If you want to win a war, shouldn't you be ready for such instances? What kind of a battle plan does not consider the fact that "what if this goes wrong or that does not work out? Maya needs to work on loopholes and herself here.
Maya's terror - Although you are supposed to feel for her, I felt like laughing because aisa lag raha tha Gabbar khud chalke aa raha ho😆. But boy the way she was melting into a puddle and trying to get a grip on herself by piercing her nails onto the skin - she was truly a mess. I mean this was the real Maya - scared, lonely, fearful. The horror in her eyes when she could sense the movement of her predator was brought out really well by Jennifer.
Rudra & Mrityunjay - Honestly, I agree with many in this forum, that Rudra could have spoken privately with Mrityunjay. It need not be escalated, that too in front of employees and a security guard. It does not look nice. But apart from that, I don't know how much Maya heard or understood of Mrityunjay and Rudra's conversation. But as the transgender said, inadvertently, Rudra became a 'hero' today for Maya, because he became the barrier between her and Mrityunjay, which she never had before. Aage chalke, he will be of real help for Maya, because unlike Maya, Rudra does not feel scared of or intimidated by Mrityunjay at all. From deep love comes deep hatred - which is common for Maya and Rudra. Rudra must have immensely loved Mrityunjay, at one point in time. But that turned into disgust and hatred, which shows that Mrityunjay must have done something which he thinks was right, but was completely wrong for Rudra. But Rudra is still in a much better place than Maya. One, Rudra has people he cares about that anchor him and two, he has not been fighting all battles alone. Maya does not have a proper anchor - her mom is not of too much help if she is delusional and half her family, is not there - which means either they are separate or killed off. So, yes Rudra and Ananya can pull her to a much better space than she is in.
Rudra, Ananya & Maya - So I might be reading into this too much, but Ananya is kind of pushing Rudra and herself towards Maya. It is like, she is a big fan of Maya, which we know, but she wants to be friends with Maya and solve her issues - which Rudra is very reluctant about. But Ananya will not leave Maya so easily and neither will she leave Rudra so easily. I have a feeling that Ananya is also involved in this matter - she is someone who is also helping Maya, which hasn't been revealed yet. To go at someone like Mrityunjay Roy directly, Maya will be vaporized. Maya will need a lot of support and help to get herself around the Roy family. There is one already, but there will be more. Many would suggest that her friendship and love for Rudra is genuine - I am not denying that. Her friendship could be genuine, but love could be acting. Their friendship comes out very strong than Ananya's love for Rudra. It has always been Ananya who has been pushing Rudra towards Maya - whether, for her fangirling, investor, 3 days - all have pushed Rudra towards Maya. So it could be that or maybe I am reading too much. But I am truly up for Maya and Ananya's girl code and bestie moments - I would love to see that. Please CVs, don't screw this up. Show us some girl bestie moments as well.
Antara, Mrityunjay & Mrs. Roy - Mrityunjay just needs one incident to make him angry, when his true self comes out - which we see when he glares at Antara and she goes quiet - when he argues with his mom and complains about her drinking habits. But what is noteworthy is Mrs. Roy's bete ko samajhne lagi tabhi to sharaab ka sahara lena pada. Mrityunjay was wounded today, that the usually quiet man lashed out. And this is not even him in full form. Just imagine when Maya comes to the forefront - the way he will lash out then.
Rudra and Maya's car ride - So tonight was Maya being herself after her unraveling in Rudra's office. It shows that you can change your look, yourself but you cannot change yourself at the core. Maya is a good person at the core, who has been forced to take this path. But you cannot always pretend to be something you aren't. She still has goodness and warmth inside her, which she hasn't fully forsaken. And that very thing gives hope to me that Rudra and Ananya can pull her out of this darkness - change her perception from a revenge battle to a battle for justice. Krishna himself has said that if you fight a battle for revenge, then that is the first step to your destruction - because that is selfish. But if you fight a battle for justice, that means you are doing it not just for your self but for the greater good as well. Rudra is getting to know shades of Maya that have shown him that Maya is also a human - she feels fear, she smiles, she thinks for others esp. people who are shunned from mainstream society. I would add that this could also be because of Krishna's teachings - because there is a legend which says that Krishna had given special status to transgenders, which made their blessings and curses very powerful - so you should never really antagonize them.
On a lighter note, Rudra being playful with Maya because he wants to know about this 'chemist'. I don't know why does he want to know so much about her. First, he will be totally reluctant to help her and then he wants to know about this 'chemist'. I am baffled.
Precap - Well you cannot say much about precaps because we will know when the episode will play out. But there are some points I think I can make out:
1. Maya and Antara know each other. Antara probably fooled and duped her in the name of helping her against Mrityunjay.
2. Maya hurts Antara by knocking her out probably because she does not want her to recognize her so soon since her interactions will increase with Rudra and Ananya. Mrityunjay and Antara both know Maya.
3. Maya will be hurting people here and there, keyword being hurting, because she needs to keep her mystery intact. She does not want a lot of people to know, not as of now.
4. Rishi is just playing Maya. He is too self-absorbed to be hurting himself. He is pretending to gain Maya's attention. And impulsively he proposes Maya. This is something to note, because with Rishi - it can go either way because he displays more traits of Mrityunjay than Rudra.
5. Maya has come to the party - but I am sure the mystery on her will remain intact. it is a party with many people. So, Rudra can mistake someone else to be Rishi's girlfriend and Mrityunjay can meet someone else as the investor (sent by Maya). But Maya will be Maya for Rudra and Rishi. She will be playing around this party.
And finally, one thing I felt about tonight that the more we are getting to know about Maya and Mrityunjay - we can see that Maya has light inside her which will come out to the fore - because of Rudra and Ananya and Mrityunjay has a lot of darkness within him which will come out to the fore because of Maya.
Ramblings done for me. Tell me about yours!
