Loved your take. Loved Paro's argument too but don't agree with her. Rudra spoke disrespectfully to Mala because she is the reason for his low opinion of women. That they wrap you in the cocoon of thier love and suddenly leave you in the lurch without a clue. proved that her happiness is more important than her son. He never respected anyone till they earned it whether its Maithili, Danveer or Paro. To this day he doesn't respect any of the other Ranavats, just tolerates them as they are cohabitants of the same house. Even to his father he shows concern but not respect. You have rightly said that Paro is going by her own belief system. My guess is so did Rudra for the first few years of his life. Its only after Mala leaving him did his beliefs change. So know he needs proof of love, reasons for trust.
Paro's approach to put herself in the other person's shoe is a little flawed. She forgets that it is to see the other person's perspective of their problem and not her own perspective of their problem. When she equates her life and Mala's she forgets that Mala chose to walk out on her son for another man in a desperate circumstance while she was kept captive by her former husband's killer. Mala made a choice while Paro didn't have one. Even when Paro returned to Rudra it was because she believed that Rudra is wrong and wanted to prove her husband and Tejawat right. This is the same as her equating her parents death and his mother's betrayal. They were not the same. Her parents were separated from her and his mother separated herself from him.
I have already rambled enough about Rudra's disappointing parents on another thread. So won't bore you with that. Hope Rudra gives it back to both of them in today's episode.

@bold:- WORD. this is the exact problem i have. Rudra does not really like interfering in matters unless desperate measures needs to be taken, for example the ladoo fiasco when he gave paro and maithili their own space to expose mohini but later interrupted when the ladies failed in their attempts. Rudra has a rational judgement eventhough it would be easy for him to judge people based on his belief system, for him every khoobsurat aurat is selfish but still they are not disrespected the way he disrespects Mala, there lies the basic difference.

I would love if Paro would be that mych rational, i do understand that her background is rural and somewhat more naive, but such serious issues cannot be handle like this, she judged Mala as completely white only because mala is a mother figure for her, and thus she expects Rudra to do the same, while he can respect any lady who is like a mother figure, but not his own mother or someone like mohini only because they are wrong, their deeds are not worthy of respect.

And yes, loved that you pointed out that Paro had come back to Rudra to prove her own point, to challenge him that he was wrong and it was not him who had forcibly captured her, yes he did but after a certain point he had let go and it was completely her choice, and she chose to run away and later again she came back to ask for forgiveness.

@DR, yes Paro is biased towards Mala because of their own relationship. Because she never says anything when Rudra talks back to Mohini. She still sees Mala as the benevolent Thakurain who is sweet and kind hearted. Someone who is filled with so much love that she cannot hurt a fly let alone her only son.

By the way if Mala was smart enough to run her own business how did she not notice that her poet husband was involved in smuggling and human trafficking.

yes in that way Paro is flawed, and the character thus comes off as contradictory to her words. But i do see a lot of Mala in Paro. The fact that Paro herself saw Rudra's suffering and even Mala's happy life with Tejawat is enough of a reason for her to judge Mala's actions being worng, but she still gave her a benefit of doubt.

About how Mala did not sense about Tejawat's evilness, well a mother who could never sense her son's suffering, what do u expect, she believes in what she sees unless she gets a reality chcekc, again a trait similar to Paro.
