I don't get why everyone in this forum is hell bent on blaming Saanjh for everything that went wrong. Maya right from the inception of the show was an obsessed pyschopath. As much as I love Jenny and her stellar performance in this show, I cannot support Maya. I wonder if anyone is capable of rational thinking here. Arjun was never a strong character. I don't get how Saanjh or Maya could fall head over heels in love with him. Not saying he was good enough for anyone to get attracted to, but there was nothing so pathbreakingly impressive about him for the two women to sacrifice so much in his name. He was a normal guy who took life as it came without thinking much about its consequences and wanted things to be his way no matter what.
Everyone says he broke his promises but will any of those promises stand true in the face of Maya's atrocities? Should Arjun still stand by them after Maya held him captive for three years, separated him from his family and best friend? Accused his brother for rape when he was innocent? Attempt to kill her own mother? I wonder what justification does anyone here have for that? The first time she tried to kill Jhanvi, one could argue she did it to save her own skin. Disgusting but u can understand why she did that. But the 2nd time? She tried to kill her mother for no joy and how was Arjun wrong to go to Prem's funeral? Was he wrong if he wanted to stand by his best friend in the time of her grief? Would not any of you do the same? Or would you listen to your mad spouse and stand back? That would only make you a spineless coward if you did.
As for Saanjh, I can never truly understand why everyone hates that poor girl so much. Agreed she isn't the most likeable character but the only reason ArYa broke up was coz of Maya's madness, nothing else. Your spouse will probably be the most important person in your life but a friend is no less important and there are things that you can express freely in front of your friend than your spouse and if Arjun did that, how were any of them wrong? Had Arjun known, or anyone else for that matter known that making those promises to a woman like Maya meant winning her and losing everything else in life, no sane person would agree to be with her.
As for Vandana, I agree she could have given Maya the benefit of doubt but then again she is human. She had seen Maya's pagalpanti even before her son fell for her (when Maya crushes a glass seeing Arjun n Saanjh in a bday party dancing) and that image of Maya's was ingrained deeply in her subconscious mind. Wouldn't any person react the way she did? She wanted to protect her son n that's what she tried. She was not even responsible for Maya's miscarriage. She wasn't the one who was plotting a murder unlike Maya.
Coming to Jhanvi, she wasn't a strong mother coz of her love towards a monster like Ashwin. But did that give Maya a right to take her life?
Everyone here loves to turn a blind eye towards Maya but are highly critical when it comes to assassinating another character's persona. I get it Maya is bigger than life here but how on earth is it possible for anybody to keep their rational thinking aside in their love for Maya? I wish I could understand this but sadly cannot 😆
P. S - Sorry for the rant. I had quit this show ever since Maya was arrested and for me that was the logical end of the show. But in every TB article I read, all I can see is how other characters are still being bashed for hardly their fault. Arjun I won't comment coz he is my least fav character here but Saanjh certainly doesn't deserve this kind of hatred.
