I dislike the Mala-Paro scene as well. Seems that paro was weaving her own web of fantasy... poor Rudra, who needs enemies when you have friends (Paro) like these! (a bit harsh to say this I know... but her cluelessness and insensitivity to Rudra makes me say this)

To all those who might get upset about this... I love Sanaya Irani.

Hi Diya, lovely take as usual. You said it all about the episode, the story right now is very gripping and i'm enjoying it. Waiting to see how the Mala/Dil/Mohini backstory unfolds as it is the highpoint of the story and hope it paves way for increase in trps.
Ashish was very natural in first scene, Rudra's emotional outburst was well done, kudos to dialogue writers too.
Sanaya is doing awesome job of Paro stuck between the triad, Dil/Mala/Rudra. My fervent wish is cv's show a strong sensible Paro who can voice her emotions as is being done for Rudra's character and make full use of Sanaya's acting potential.
Hopefully today we'll get to see the aangan wala romance, btw i missed to mention Sanaya is quite a good hugger, the hug scene in this episode was nice though it was onesided.

Deeps ... did Mala stay away from Rudra for fifteen years on her own accord? We know now that she tried to take Rudra with her. We also know that she called Danveer a week later to find out how Rudra was. If she was thrown out, was alone and homeless, and she checked with Dilsher and found that Rudra was doing all right with his father, did she decide he might be better off with the rest of his family and his father, in a familiar home, than on the streets with a mother who couldn't support him? And we also know that she came back a month later to try to get him. We also know that Dilsher was incommunicando for fifteen years ... did Mala stay away, or did she try to trace Rudra and fail? We know that as soon as Rudra came back and Danveer informed Mala, she came to see Danveer and wanted to see Rudra.

That's why I say there are too many gaps in the story ... so far we have seen it only from Rudra's POV ... hence we look at Mala from his POV only. Paro is seeing Mala from her POV only ... she received nothing but love from Mala, so she cannot believe Mala can be a bad mother. And before knowing Mala's whole story, she is refusing to judge her.

As for being a good mother ... I loved LadyLala's post in FLS's thread, so paraphrasing from it ... see the way Paro the orphan has turned out, living without either of her real parents, but with the benefit of two loving foster parents, her mamisa and Mala ... and see the way Rudra has turned out, living with his real father ... and it is very clear who is the good parent here. If Mala wanted, she could have transferred some of her own bitterness and sorrow about her failed marriage, her lost son, on to Paro ... she did not. When a child is brought up by a single parent, it is the parent raising the child who is responsible for how he turns out, far more than the one who is absent.
