Predictable, much? I had told in my earlier posts that Nandini is mentally unwell. Knowing nothing about the going on in Maya's life, was very much a sign of her being mentally unwell. And thank you CVs, for proving my point right. She was in a psychiatric facility for 7 years and conveniently her brain wiped out 1 year of her life, where she lost her son, daughter, husband. I guess both mother and daughter are the same in this matter. Manvi in her defense mechanism to reduce the agony, pain and loss created Maya Jaisingh who was forged in darkness, hate and revenge. Nandini in her defense mechanism to reduce her pain and loss forgot that very moment that led to the destruction of her family. Well, let's see how does it go for Nandini henceforth. Please amma, jaldi thik ho jana.š¤
Ab wo mausam (Diya) khatm hone wala hai - Well, aaj ta lagta hai role reversal ho gaya hai. Usually, Antara is drunk, tonight Diya was drunk. Aur ussi drunk condition me, to add insult to injury is Maya ki maya. But was Maya wrong in what she told Diya? Maya has been there, done that and she knows quite well, what happens when Mrityunjay's women change according to his mood and whim. Diya thinks she is neither another woman nor a small fling and she tries to convince herself of how secure she is, in a bid to put down Maya. But the difference here Diya is, Maya is no longer some man's 'shauk', she is someone's 'wife', and the man she married does not change women like clothes. In fact, he appreciates all the women in his life, it's only the women who don't understand the value of a man like Rudra. But Maya does, and that is why she is proud to be Maya Rudra Roy. But Diya is Mrityunjay's 'shauk' only which has lasted longer than it should and if she tries raising her voice, she will also see what Manvi saw - 'mitti me mil jana'. But I know for one thing Diya is no Manvi. She is a clever bi**ch to have lasted so long in the Roy mansion. She will not leave Mrityunjay Roy so easily. But frankly what Maya did today, is the Maya I want to see every day. Playing mind games, maya ka mayajaal. And hopefully courageous enough to play the same with the big bad wolf, someday.
Dil toota hai, dard badne do tabhi to Maya ki beemari uske andar se niklegi - Mrityunjay, agar tu samajh paata na ki 'beemari' aur 'pyaar' ka fark kya hota hai, to tu apni biwi ko appreciate karta, usko lataarta nahi. And frankly, he doesn't know the trajectory of Rudra and Maya's relationship. Just because they know each other for less than 3 months, does not mean that their love isn't strong or cannot stand the test of time. Rudra's love is so strong that it revived Manvi within Maya. That Manvi who you had killed. His love is so strong that each time Maya tries to do something dark and heinous, she chooses not to for Rudra. Rudra's love is so strong that made Maya gather the courage to not just walk out of the shadows into the light, but face you, which she never wanted to. Your confidence in Manvi's weakness fails to see the strength Maya is building every day, even though its baby steps. Sach to ye hai ki 'beemari' to tu hai, har aurat ke liye. Ab tujh jaise 'beemari' ko utaarne ke liye bhi kuch logo ke dil to tootenge hi. Wohi dekhna hai ab.
Jinke rishte me junoon hota hai, woh ek dusre se dur reh hi nahi sakte - This was Maya's response to Mrityunjay's beemari dialogue. As much as Rudra feels for Maya, the same Maya feels for Rudra. He may feel hurt and useless at times, but that does not mean he loves Maya any less. But alas, if Mrityunjay knew what love is like. If Mrityunjay can play on Rudra's insecurities, Maya also knows where this insecurity comes from. Since Mrityunjay just cannot see anything above himself, he cannot see that Rudra is not hurt because of his insecurity regarding his love, he is hurt because he knows Maya is here only for him and yet she did not reciprocate the way she usually does. He doesn't know or see that Maya can do anything for Rudra, and Rudra knows that. It is that very reason that he was expecting her to see in that dress, and when she did not it hurt him. Rudra is no less a lost boy sometimes. And his territorial nature is on another level. Rudra has seen loneliness like no one else, he is alone amongst his own family. He knows Maya only and only cares and loves him. But when she shows otherwise, apna Rudy boy maayus ho jata hai. But once his insecurities are appeased, I guess he will involve himself more onto Maya's history. And waise bhi woh Rudra hai, Bhole Shambhu, unko manane ke liye jyaada kuch karna nahi padta.
Sholon si dance:
Samjhon mera jo ishaara hai, jo bhi hai mera sab tumhara hai - Ok so this was playing when Maya was dancing with Rudra, it was like Maya was not just trying to appease Rudra but also telling him that whatever is mine, everything will always belong to him. Her love, her affection, her heart, and her soul, everything belongs to Rudra. That soul that Rudra intends to protect with his life. It is Maya's way of convincing her dear hubby that she loves him and always will only love him.
Tera muskurana, nazar yun jhukana mere liye hai, bas mere liye hai - Ok, so this wasn't shown in the episode, it was just another background score where Mrityunjay made Maya very uncomfortable. But, in the segments, this was the lyric playing when Mrityunjay was dancing with Maya. Mrityunjay ki life me sab auraton ki aukaad ek barabar hai, but jo auratein uss par girti padti hai - like Diya and Antara give a kick to his ego, but don't hold his interest. But Maya has captured his interest, why? Maya whom he assumed died back then, returned again into his life, Maya who hates his guts, Maya who loves another man who also happens to be his son with so much heart and passion, Maya about whom he discovers something new every day. And so Maya has piqued Mrityunjay's sanak to obsess, possess, own and control her, which I am sure won't go too well. And his 'I lead and you follow' is never happening. Maya will only follow one man by her free will and that is only Rudra. And honestly, Maya, stop looking at Rudra for support. As Rudra had once said, look for the light within yourself. Similarly, look for the courage within yourself.
Kisi ko apne pyaar ke beech mat aane dena - The entire scene between Maya, Rudra, and Nandini was sheer joy. They were genuine and heartwarming. And Rudra's 'ma' was like, finally Rudra ke life me aisa koi to aaya jisse woh 'Ma' keh sakta hai. It's like every negative person is being replaced by something more positive in Rudra's life. Nandini replaced Antara, someone, who will take care of him and he will not have to take care of. Maya replaced that place of love in Rudra's life, which he felt was only a remembrance of pain and agony. He found someone who only and only cares and loves him and has no place for anyone else in his life. Nandini ji is a sheer pleasure to watch. Diya ko uski aukaad aur Antara ko uski umra dikha di.šš. Nandini ji, aise hi sixer maarte rahiye. Mazaa aayega.
Rudra ka kaala dhaaga - Kisi ne Mrityunjay ko bataya nahi ki Rudra ke life ka kaala dhaaga sirf Maya hi hai. Aur ye kya naya siyappa paala hai. Ananya nahi hai to uski kami puri karne Aditya ko bhej diya. Lekin shakl se 'villain' wali feel kam, aur 'confused launda' wali feel jyaada aayi mujhe. Ek to Maya ne usse haath milaya nahi, frankly because she doesn't trust Mrityunjay's tattus, and phir usse Rudra ka bodyguard bana diya, jabki uska interest tha hi nahi, kyunki usko samajh nahi aaya ki exactly ho kya raha hai iss manhus khandaan me. Either ye dost ban sakta hai ya dushman. My bets are on the second.
Tere haathon koi galat kaam na ho - Haan auntyji, galat kaam hote hote reh gaya. Aapki beti 'khooni' se 'suhaagan' ban gayi. Aur jab tak aap ho, Rudra hai, aapki beti koi galat kaam nahi karegi. Lekin haan, aapko guarantee deni padegi ki jo Antara aur Diya ke saath kiya na, woh roz karna padega.š Mrityunjay is thoroughly mistaken if he thinks that bringing Nandini home will push Maya into a corner, and she will not be able to make any moves on them, then that is the most stupid trick in his book. Maya cares for her mom and Rajiv, but that has never stopped her from playing her games. And if Nandini is there, Rudra and Rajiv are there too Mrityunjay, and you have zero clues about the rapport, camaraderie, and bonding they share. So don't bajao your bandwagon so much, tumhari band bajne ka ab intezaar karo.
Other Highlights:
So Rajiv is in trouble, and Maya has 12 hours to save him. Ye 12 ghante tujh par kitna bhari padne wala hai Mrityunjay, you have no idea. Kyunki mera anumaan ye kehta hai ki 12 ghante baad tu jis Maya se milega na, woh koi aur hi Maya hogi. Please CVs, laajh rakh lena.
And btw, Going by @MoronskiMallika, aaj Diya and Antara both represented the chugalkhor chachis, really.š¤£
P.S. Aur please, bheekh mangti hu main, editing ki ma behen karna band karo. Reception shyaam ko ho rahi hai, achanak subah ka scene beech me kyun daal diya? Aur dance dikhana hi nahi hai, to shoot kyun karte ho yaar. Kuch bhi mat kiya karo. Kahaani ka to mummy daddy ho rakha hai, editing aur dancing hi thik se dikha diya karo. Tumhare cliffhangers ki zarurat nahi hai hume. Isse ache kahaani hamare forumwaasi likh lete hai.
Anyway, that's from me tonight. Let's hear out you people.
