Paro's desperate, intense hatred of the marriage rituals, her panic about the mehndi rasam ... her hatred at the idea of marriage to the Jallad ...
After today's episode - I'm left only with the picture of her teary eyes staring at Rudra ... eyes filled with hate, stubborn defiance, and a terrified hopeless helplessness, as he forces the mehndi on her burnt palms.
Rudra ... the Jallad. Unforgiving, unbending ... man of stone. He may be upset that she hurt herself ... but the honor of his dead soldiers means more to him than her pain.
Ashish was fantastic ... but today's honors go to Sanaya. She made me feel every agonizing minute of Paro's helplessness and fear ... her pain and anguish at the impending rape of her soul.
