Does Rudra really hate beautiful women? Infact, does Rudra really hate anyone as such? Maybe not. There is a difference between 'hating' someone and having a 'grudge/shikaayat' from someone.
Perhaps, Rudra falls in the second category. His hatred is not for beautiful women - its for the POSSIBILITY of the damage that they could do to him. Its for the lack of trust and commitment they emanate. Coming to think of it as someone from the outside , Rudra is not seeing scarlet colour in gorgeous faces. He is looking at his beautiful mother in them , who left him, abandoned him and ruined him. When he looks at pretty women, he doesn't think of them as individual characters - he looks at them as reflections of his mother. Its like your most dreaded horror film is , say, 'The Conjuring' . So, everytime, i suggest you a horror film, you will relate your possibility of getting scared with The Conjuring. That is how it works for Rudra. He is not hateful of anything or anyone - he is terrorized by the fear of investing himself and traumatized by the ugly life that his parents gave him. He doesn't even hate his mother - its his sulking need of affection and mother's hands as a child that have turned into a monster who inverts wounded emotions into aggression and violence.
The above said reason is the explanation of his play of sunlight and darkness with Paro. Number one, Rudra has never hated Paro. He doesn't and he never did. He has had a soft corner and a fixation for the her since the day he first saw her. He didn't go around reading insult codebooks of ' beautiful woman = beastly creature'. He saw her , he felt drawn towards her, he felt a pinch when he found out she was marrying someone else, he tried to shoot her twice but he could not pull the trigger. When he hated , he hated the non-existent traitor and criminal in her. And even in that pseudo and misguided disdain, Rudra looked after Paro like a hawk - protecting a witness , not just as a part of his duty, but with a personal feel of ownership as well. His cruelty and harshness to Paro has always been superficial and a product of his emotional and psychological warfare.
So, when Rudra takes care of Paro like a baby, its nothing unexpected, surprising or out-of-character. Rudra's nature maybe aggressive and wild, but his CHARACTER is of a nurturer and a protector ( he has looked after his father as well like a child ) . Paro is sleeping . Rudra does not need to say 15 harsh dialogues and do 10-15 wall pinning and arm grabbing exercise routines. He can show his soft side because there is no one to see it. Paro will not blink her deer-in-the-headlights-eyes and taana-maaro him that he takes care of her only because she is his lone witness. Rudra knows that Paro is in deep slumber and she will not wake up to see how soft and silky he can go on her. He can afford a good deed that has no witnesses.
The sprain-tending scene shows that Rudra is capable of great compassion and kindness - but the fact that Paro stays asleep throughout it , shows that people stop their judgment at his hot-blooded nature and sword like personality . They don't see beyond the obvious and he gives them no chance to see that even dark people can have fireflies in the name of light. Meaning, irrespective of what Rudra feels for Paro , he is going to make Paro sleep through it unless she decides to refuse eating sleeping pills. He may take a lifetime to tell her how he feels or maybe Paro can play KBC with him and find out , or even if he says it it out loud, the impact is going to be the same - it will make him unarmed, vulnerable and very very dangerous. Paro's suffering is not what we see now - its still good as long as she hates him , or should i say she thinks she hates him- her issues will begin if and when Rudra takes her under his wing as his beloved wife. All the great handiwork that Rudra's parents have done on him as a child , as a teen and as an adult will come to surface in a special exhibition for Paro. Saw the promo? Paro was equated with Rudra's mother in terms of beauty and elopement. THAT is how and where the damage will begin.
Coming to Paro, i will not be very surprised if Paro falls in love with Rudra and doesn't know what to do about it. Saviour. Protector. Mentor. They are not only heavy words - they are very powerful and very superlative positions that someone can hold in your life. Its human nature to consider yourself indebted, sold, attached to the person who shields you from the winter. Small example in everyday life. If someone has gone out of their way and done something for you at a very critical point in your life, you will do anything for them - you will come for them from any part of the world if they were to call you. And here, Paro is with a man who , inspite of all the bad blood , sorry, confused blood between them, is giving her food, shelter, defence , protection , respectability and never letting her feel that she is ripped off her dignity- the moment she is about to feel so, he does something twisted-adorable and leaves her confused. She knows that he has killed her husband , she even thinks that she hates him - yet, quite funnily, she invests faith in him and trusts him to keep her alive and safe. Paro will realize it slowly that she is coming to a point where she will soon look back after every 5 minutes to check and ensure that Rudra is around - even if to call him 'jallaad' or to weigh his intentions between 'duty' and 'humanity' or to say soft monosyllables that cool down his temper. She will. The spirit always finds solace in the saviour and the heart surrenders to the one who keeps it alive.
Today, Rudra can hide his chocolate mousse shades under his rudeness and his steely exterior. Today, Paro can curse Rudra 24x7 without a commercial break. But when the times comes , Rudra will have to sacrifice his nature for his feelings, and Paro will do anything and everything to protect him from the darkness that he invites. Its only a matter of time and just how far you can fight what you actually want.
