"Pyar usi se karo jise control kar sako, jab pyaar aapko control karne lage toh use barbaad kardo. Uska har nishaan mita do, uska wajood mita do. Uska har ehsaas khatm kar do. Us pyaar ko khatm kar do."

Will Arjun be able to escape from Maya's limitless obsession?
I am not a serial watcher. But this serial's promo attracted me towards it. This was definitely something different, I thought. And indeed it was. I guess it was the first psychological thriller serial on TV. It was limitelessly thrilling and beautiful.
The serial is divided in three segments. First segment (Episode 1 to 115) is more of a romantic comedy, second segment (Episode 116 to 245) is a complete thriller, giving you twists after twists, and the third segment (Episode 246 to 273) is more of a family drama including a little thriller.
My most favourite segment was the second one. It gave me thrills and beautiful twists. The only thing which I didn't like about the second segment is that it is completely 100% based on the novel/movie Gone Girl, still they haven't given any credit to the movie nor the novel.
The third segment is my most hated segment as it includes a lot of family drama and the end in dissapointing.
Overall, a great serial which is not typical.
