LOL yeah aren't we lucky? It's gonna be like back to back three straight days of taandav if tomorrow's precap is anything to go by...Lucky us!😆

Waise I wanted to see him more hurt in the precap...but he seems more DISGUSTED with them than anything...and he's totally right to be that too...Dilsher's tears in the precap fail to move me now...these two deserve to hear this from their only child who's life they ruined in their own hang-ups.

But I have a feeling that forgiveness is coming soon😆...by Friday max😆...everyone will sing the happy family song...tadaa😆

Yes, Mala leaving her son behind with an abusive man is just not justifiable...also her POETRY romance with Tejawat is a priceless visual😆...Ok so Mala had some horrible years with Dilsher...but she lived a good life after that with Tejawat, no? What about Rudra? He was literally screwed over by both parents turn by turn and now they are expecting him to just CHILL...wow.

Dilsher's change of heart is because of Paro? Yes Paro was a turning point in Rudra/Dilsher's life because that made them come back to the haveli. But it looked to me like Dilsher softened down more because of his age and the need for family. That is how it looked to me. Maybe Paro was instrumental in making him realize family is important? I don't know. The writers were never clear on this...Dilsher was pretty much a rude drunkard till the point when he came back to the haveli...he all but spent two days with Paro and instantly fell in love with her and started singing her praises and asking her to marry Rudra...I would also like to believe the age having mellowed him theory but alas the writers are too busy painting him a total psycho who just had an overnight change of heart cuz of Paro's magical abilities.

Paro's arguments -

I don't agree with her first part. Like Shalini posted, Rudra was not all sweet tongued ever! He even called Paro characterless once. He does do extreme stuff in anger. Yes he did take a slap for Paro from Mohini even though he hated Paro then. But I bet he would do the same today - If Mohini tries to slap Mala, he will be there for this mother. That is how he has always been. Then why this whole he Rudra I fell in love with was not like this argument? I felt he was too soft on Mala. He actually was stating what is reality for him. Yes he added that sarcasm there. And he got slapped for that. 😕 And then he gets scolded by his wife for that too. As if he was the best behaved boy in the neighborhood when she fell in love with him. He has changed for the better now. Rudra's change of heart - yes Paro is the reason for that. If it had been the old Rudra, he would have thrown Mala out of the house by now. Arey everyone is saying this but am I the only one who heard it differently?😕...Didn't Paro say that his views about women weren't right but even then he respected them? And I do agree with that...yes Rudra questioned Paro's character at one point, hated her etc. etc...but even then he watched out for her...that is the point that Paro was trying to make I think...that even at his worst, he had the ability to watch out for a woman's respect.

Yes, the old Rudra would have thrown Mala out in a heartbeat but that is because this is way too personal...for a stranger, Rudra would have probably given more leeway even if he was in his "jallaad" mode...Paro was telling him to give Mala respect as a woman despite how the facts seem stacked up against her cuz even Paro would have been viewed cheaply had anyone just looked at the facts without knowing the whole story...but obviously it's very tough for Rudra to be objective on this front cuz the wounds he's gotten from Mala run too deep.

Comparing her situation with Mala's was okay. The context and premise is not the same. But it was like putting it all in perspective. Something like a coin can have two sides. I liked that. It was good and the way Rudra instantly corrected her and threatened her to never put herself down like that was awesome. Yes it was a bit of a stretch when it comes to drawing a parallel but still a good argument...she had a point and it got interesting reactions out of Rudra.

Great post Areyaar and Crystal ! It feels like the only one with a predictable behavior pattern is Mohini. Her ridiculing of some lovey dove emotions sometimes feel well deserved. I feel so bad for Rudra - for being left behind with a father who was so bitter. Dilsher broke Mala emotionally and in spirit. Did Mala's need to escape her husband make her so oblivious to the fact that leaving Rudra with his father could cause immense psychological damage to him? Rudra rightly says so in the precap of tomorrow's episode.. neither parent thought about him.

Agreed, Paro likes to take the high road. But I wish she would be a little patient with Rudra and not push him right into the inferno of facing/ thinking about his mother every time. He needs time to digest the fact that Mala is in his line of sight everyday now! Give him some breathing time Paro!

Awesome post. You can always expect Rudra and Mohini to ask the right questions at the right time. Rudra is just repeating what has been said to him for years. Its Dilsher's words coming out through his mouth. And what is being the sweet couple act when they actually owe support to their son at this point. Really they need Mohini for her acidic retorts than Paro for her sugary words.

So the big bad truth is out. Mala was an abused wife and Dilsher was a failure. Was Rudra is boarding school? Because he should have between at least thirteen when Mala left. Why didn't he notice her scars and sadness? Did he not talk back to his dad? Did her sister's family not notice, they all lived together right. Why didn't her poet lover know of her son? Did she not trust him with that detail? Did she leave her son behind with Dilsher as he was the Father of the year? Why did she wait for a month to come back for him?

Dilsher realised how wrong he was because Paro was sweet and loving towards him? So was Mala mean and uncaring that alcohol was needed to comfort him. Did he know of her affair and hence stopped her from dragging his son out of the house? Was her affair the reason he didn't trust that her success was not through her hard work? Was he nice to his son before Mala left? Did he want him in his life so prevented him from leaving? If he made a big deal of his wife's mistakes and hid his own, to ensure his son's loyalty, why didn't he just give him the love the boy longed for.

I didn't realise grammatical mistake Paro made when she used the wrong tense. I assumed she meant the man she fell in love with as I am not very good in Hindi. It was a nice speech but didn't Paro hate him when he got slapped in stead of her. She hated the man who kept her locked and tied up, who dragged her around like a rag doll. That was a man who lived completely on his on terms who did what he thought was right. He never interfered in things that did not concern him. He never saw her as anything but a female witness he had to protect and win over to help him with his job. She starts to respect him only when she comes to know of Tejawat's treason and starts to love him because she thought her God led her to him and he was his destiny. That's how I understood her journey so far. Still enjoyed the scene for the brilliant dialogues and acting by the leads.

Tomorrow another confrontation and hopefully Rudra gets to talk and not be rebuked for being angry. Because whether they like it or not anger is the only thing his parents have earned from him over the years not his affection or understanding.

Anuji, after the episode & these weird character changes I for one am done with the show😭 . I dont have the heart to continue watching it any more. Always had this feeling that at the altar of Mala's Redemption, Dilly Boy is toh going to be sacrificed. Well, the CVs proved me right. But the saddest part is I still feel no sympathy for Mala😲. Sorry, cannot feel for the mother who walks out leaving a child with such an abusive father & returns back after 15yrs expecting all to be hunkydory. In fact she comes out looking even worse than before, if possible . I dont know, maybe it is the actor playing the role of Mala, or the story; but whatever it is I just cannot find it in me to connect with that character. Another character i find difficulty in connecting with, is Paro Baisa. I am totally beginning to love the tez tarrar mirchi Mohini. Her dialogues for the past couple of days deserve this👏. At this moment of time, mohini & Rudra seem to be the only sane characters. I have reached the state where i want to hit my head against a wall after watching these ridiculous & illogical episodes. Practically, the whole week such crap seems to be thrust down our throats & they think DEKHNA HAI TOH DEKHO😡 I for one, dont want to DEKHO it any more. Then usually on fridays we get to see some PARUDLICIOUS episode. I am totally a PaRud shipper but even for the dangling carrot of maybe we'll get to see a beautiful PaRud episode , i cant sit thro the weekly torturous tracks i feel total disconnect with🤢

Anu, I am also not saying that the old Rudra did not respect women or did not look out for them - even though he hated them. If Paro had argued on this after Rudra has slapped Mala or something equally disrespectful, I would agree. But it is so random that she is saying he was not like this before because he questioned Mala. That is absurd. He did not even say anything to Mala that is so disrespectful in my opinion. Yes it hurt. But everyone who does not know the flashback will think of it this way only. No matter why Mala chose to leave Dilsher, now she is back here. From what I can see, she is happy chatting away with Paro and Maithili, cooking kheer, Revisiting old memories laughing away with Dilsher. etc most of the time. That too in 1-2 days after she came back here. What else can Rudra think?

In fact after Dilsher asked Rudra not to interefere he did not even go out of his way to insult Mala or anything. If anything, he sort of took her side against Mohini during the kheer scene. He just wants to live his life with his wife. Paro is the one who says they will start their life only if he gets the Mala issues sorted out. So he confronted Mala and lost his cool rightfully. Then where does all this you have changed and you are not the person you were argument come into play? He has become worse now?😕 Wah! It was so random. Dialogues were good, but does not fit in.
