Why do you think Laila came to the Sangeet?
Laila was there to demand answers from Rudra. And to get reassurance about what she meant to Rudra, and maybe what she will continue to mean. She wasn't there to threaten Paro ... YET. Not when she came there. The threat was a last ditch one.
She is a hurt, wounded woman, she has given eight years of her life to Rudra, being treated like dirt, but her only consolation being that he has no other woman in his life, she is the only one ... so if he treated her like dirt, she took it, secure in the confidence that he would treat any woman the same way, she was getting the most that he was prepared to give. If he did not give her love or commitment, he wouldn't give it to any other woman either.
Then she saw Paro in the jhaanki, put two and two together, realised Paro was the bride he had taken captive, had grumbled about to her, and now was on the point of marrying. So he was giving Paro something he had never given Laila ... moreover, something he had apparently no intention of giving any woman ... at least, that is what he had always TOLD her ... and yet he is giving Paro.
So she comes running hotfoot to the haveli to stake her claim as the exclusive woman in Rudra's life ... to reassure herself, to blast him that he dare not give Paro what she fancies is exclusively HER right ... and to reassure herself that Paro actually means nothing to him ... she is his woman and she will stay that way ... marriage or no marriage. I think a dancer like Laila does not hope for marriage with a man like Rudra.
Rudra does try to reassure her ... somewhat ... that things are not what they seem, but he doesn't give her any answers. He can't ... its BSD matter, not a personal matter, strictly speaking. So she doesn't get any satisfactory answer.
And when she snaps ties with him ... says she takes back all the haq she has given him ... even then he doesn't react much, he doesn't reassure her that she will continue to be in his life, whether Paro is there or not, or any words to that effect ...basically he has no qualms about her breaking the relationship.
But the moment she threatens to hurt Paro, he reacts instantly ... threatens her in turn ... and runs to check on Paro.
So both things happened ... she wanted to berate, cajole, threaten or browbeat Rudra into saying she was important to him, and get an answer as to why he was marrying Paro ... he did not, and she got her answer. He is marrying Paro because he cares about her.
