I have also read many posts on the forum saying it's too soon, why is Paro softening so quickly, why is Rudra falling in love so quickly ...

All I will say is ... maybe we have got used to love hate love stories where the lead pair hate each other for the flimsiest of reasons, on the basis of the silliest misunderstandings, and continue to hate each other despite all evidence to the contrary ... they seem to lose their brains as well as their hearts, and it is perfectly understandable.

Here Paro has reason to hate Rudra ... he shot her husband in front of her eyes ... there is no question of a MU on that one, and it's not a flimsy reason. But there is an MU there too ... she doesn't know it was to save her life.

Also because of him, she has lost her village, her extended family. She already has reason to hate the BSD, because she has been told they killed her parents.

BUT BUT BUT ... here is where the disconnect comes in ... why is she not shouting and screaming at him, crying and weeping and wailing all the time ... refusing to have anything to do with him? Why does she not shoot daggers at him with her eyes?

This is where Paro's character is different ...

She is a timid village girl ... already established it takes a lot for her to speak up. It took her all her courage to come back to Rudra after she realised she had simply nowhere else to go ... he would carry out his threat to destroy her villagers if she went back to them ...

Her courage is simply in losing her fear and dealing with him without fear. Standing up to face him. She who would lose her voice, and be frozen to the spot at even the sight of a BSD officer ... she now speaks to him clearly and firmly, without a tremor in her voice.

This is also where Rudra's character is different ..

He distrusts beautiful women ... that is what he has been taught all his life

He hates traitors, he is a staunch patriot

BUT BUT BUT he does have some brains ... Paro came back to prove her innocence ... deny it as much as he want in words, this must mean that she IS innocent ... from being suspect in his eyes, she has gone to being only witness ...a witness he has to protect, because he already knows her life is in danger.

He has no personal hatred towards Paro (unlike Paro) ... the reverse ... he has seen her being abandoned by her village, her foster mother ... the same way his own mother abandoned him and he was left rudderless in life ... he is furious with her that despite her family betraying her, she continues to shield them .. a reluctant sympathy at her plight, which finds its outlet in anger, because that's what Rudra is.

He has been the parent, the caregiver to his father most of his life, instead of the reverse ...

All these traits make Rudra the Protector ... that is his character. And yes, there is some softening ... the impersonal hatred for beautiful women warring with the sympathy and care for the beautiful woman who is completely dependent on him ... whose situation is somewhat similar to his.

Sumi, you wrote ...

In Paro's character, we cannot expect her to throw swear words at Rudra.. 😆 Or scream at him 24*7.. Or cry endlessly.. Because THIS is just not how she hates.. Her hate is basically her indifference.. Her refusal to seek help from him. Even if she is unable to walk on her own.. Her pains are not forgotten.. But she has learned to come to terms with the past and live in present in best possible way..

I will add ... Paro is gentle rain ... she is not fire. Rudra is 'tapti ret' ...

When rain falls on burning coals ... they splutter, they hiss ... and they die out. Thus Paro will always be the calming influence in Rudra's life ...

See the three interactions she has had with him since she came back ...

First ... she asked for clothes ... still scared, still hesitant ... the night she came back.

Second ... he tore her sleeve ... she asked for needle and thread ... that second interaction was already much firmer and more confident than the first hesitant, still scared request for clothes. The needle and thread was almost a demand ... accompanied by a firm 'you broke it, now you fix it' statement.

The third ... the calm statement at the bike ... you're angry because things didn't go your way, aren't you?

What happened to Rudra's anger at her question ? He spluttered a bit, he grumbled, he let out his frustration with a mild taunt ... and helped her tie her helmet. Anger defused most effectively.

The biggest difference ... and maybe why people feel it is happening too soon ... is that both are not blind to the good points of each other ... they are seeing them. Since we are used to selective blindness in the leads for months and months on end, we find it odd.

But I'm trusting the makers on this one ... they are very, very experienced ... and if this is what they are showing us, its because this is what they WANT to show us.

Ahead ... let's see what happens.
