The father called Dilsher Singh Ranawat

But one thing that really engaged me in last night's episode was Dilesher Singh Ranawat. I love the way his character is developing gradually, layer by layer added to it. At first glimpse, in the initial episodes, I thought he was drunkard, short tempered, probably abused his wife. Good, she left him.

It is very interesting the way the character had turned around our expectations. He is a scarred man, still nurses the wound of his wife's desertion. (though it is not clear if it wounded his love or his honour).

But he has come across as a caring and proud father to his Rudradev - teasing his son, looking after him and caring for him as best as he could. Unlike Rudra he can still smile and believe in goodness.

Now Dilsher has another trouble child whom he has taken a liking to. Parvati. He is already protecting and looking after her. The scene between him and Parvati was a lot like father and daughter conversation, the father consoling his daughter, telling her to be careful - it was one of the best in the episode.

And then his worry about Rudra, the realisation that he has done wrong by his son - the anguish was beautifully portrayed. He knows that Rudra can handle everything yet he feels the need to protect him, knows what BSD means to Rudra, understands his son's anger.

Dilsher, in yesterday's episode, was small bright spark in a crowd of flat characters like Kakisa and Sumer, Mythili and Samrat, amid all that shaadi- kab-hogi drama and the love story under threat of being drowned in a sea of cliches.
