Reverse Psychology or Emotional manipulation ?

Before the Mala-Rudra track started off, most of us had so much of expectations, this was touted to be the most awaited and important track of the show, and even the first week of this track had garnered a good rating, it saw a jump. But CVs have butchered the show, the characters and mostly the expectations we had, everytime we expect something, they give us the exact opposite stuff. One or two episodes of forced and cheesy Rudra Paro romance, and is that enough ?
One of the most wonderful scenes of yesterday, when i just felt that may be now their will be a new dimension and perspective to this track was when Rudra was home alone, and he took his time, move forward to his own childhood memories, had a smile, absorbing and remembering those days. It was a beautiful scene, it seemed like he was waiting that when will people give me some time for myself so that i can also live these moments with my full ownership.
But no CVs had to bring Paro in to again ask him questions. Can i ask what is the hurry ? Rudra is a man, a human being and not a puppet or robot, why the hell is he not given some time to process the happenings ?

Rudra holds Paro's hands and expresses his deepest fear that he does not want another heartbreak, and what does Paro do ? She embraces just another tactic, reverse psychology, but by hook or by crook she wants a reconcilation right ? She does not even take a second and think over his words, over his hurt and fears, which wife on earth is that much ignorant towards her husband's feelings ?
I am sorry, her reverse pschology is coming off as emotional manipulation now, it seems more like that ghee seedhey ungli se nahi nikla so ungli tedhi karke nikalungi, but at any cost i will force or make major saab accept Mala . And this whole perspective makes me sympathise with Rudra much more for being so obvious and expressive about his hurt but nobody to even hug him and tell him that he should take his time.
Didn't Paro herself say that he will take his time, then what is she doing, where is the time, she does not even allow him to even breathe, every damn minute, every damn move he takes, all she does is connects his every act with Mala somehow to give him a mental push.
Rudra is deprived of mental peace and thats why he wanted to get out for some days, because definitely looking at his regressive family, he will never find mental peace here. In his plave anybody else would go mad, god knows how he is surviving this.

I have always said this, that when Mala and Dilsher can only deserve a forgiveness and acceptance when they make an effort, ask for an apology. So why cannot Paro talk to them ? why give them a benefit of doubt and assurance that they have nothing more to do and whatever has to be done is to reframe Rudra's mind . Does Paro really think that reverse psychology will make Mala and Dilsher worthy for Rudra's acceptance ? Is Rudra that much unvaluable to her that his dignity does not even matter ? Being a wife every wife would want that her husband gets his deserved rights as a son and i am sorry Paro is far from that.
And reverse psychology can induce or provoke Rudra's love for Mala, yes he will come for her defense but then again thats not his forgiveness for Mala. I wish Paro would know or have the capability to distinguish between love, hurt, forgiveness and abandonment, she clearly does not otherwise this would not be the end result of it.

Lastly, well can these people stop treating Rudra like a 10 year old. Its beyond irritation when Paro and Danveer keeps on saying that " Rudra remembers everything of his childhood ", what nonsense was that ? Why wouldn't Rudra remember, he did not suffer from memory loss. Him remembering does not mean that he has to jump in with them and play house house and family family, ofcourse not. If he can remember his mother's abandonment then he can also remember everything related to her.

I can see a reconcilation soon, so yes will not expect anything sensible from this track anymore, but will only say that none of the viewers have bought this Paro shoving down everything in Rudra's throat, and it has done damage to the show, people left expecting anything form the female lead. PERIOD..

Good post DR :)
This makes me feel that when Rudra's step brother enters, Paro will force Rudra to accept the brother also.🤔
I will just say every female lead is this annoying, Paro has taken the standard to new level. Such a boring character.🥱

Mala's track should not end before tejawat strikes back.
but thats not even my concern now, my only concern is the way CVs have handled the issue, which was sensitive and delicate, but CVs made it look random, easy and a matter of two days, there is no depth in whatsoever Paro feels for Rudra, and the whole pushing him and then now using reverse tactics makes her character shoddy which has ultimately affected the ratings immensely.
And now they will jump into the other mystery man track, whats the rush ?

Yesterday's episode would have been so much better if Paro had just meant it when she said, she understood that she was forcing the Mala issue rather putting on an act. Rudra was so clear when he said that he remembers all those happy memories but it also comes with the sadness he felt when his mother left. That's the underlying issue here which is not understood by Paro. Yes, Mala was a wonderful mother who filled his childhood with joy. She was a courageous woman who walked out of an painful relationship. But, she also left her son behind in the same abusive environment. Is is so easy to forgive and embrace such a woman back in your life? Its not easy to trust her not to be selfish when there is a crisis. Paro is aware that family is not a priority for him and that he would rather spend time with his BSD colleagues. She doesn't fuss when he calls his father by name or doesn't address the rest of the Ranavats unless necessary. Why does she think that Mala's relationship has to be rebuilt when she accepts his dealings with everybody else in the household. And what is the point of pushing Mala and everything related to her out of his life. Rudra is ignoring her anyway why not just follow his lead and ignore her. He hates what his mom has done so far, but he wouldn't want her to be hurt by Paro's U-turn either. He will reprimand her for being rude because he is a nice person in spite of the gruffness he shows to the world. That doesn't imply he cares about his mother or is ready to forgive her.
I really hope Mala realises soon that her son is not a five year old who can be won over with his favorite food. She made a grave error which turned his world upside down. Its time for her to talk, to apologise for the past and assure him that this time she will stay. She made an effort to talk to Mohini and sort things out. She has to stop piggy backing on Paro and appeal to her son to let her back in his life. She told Dilsher that a child rejecting his mother is the same as rejecting his existence. Well, a mother abandoning her son falls in the same category. When her bad days of marriage were a good reason for her to walk out of her marriage. His bad memories of his childhood are good reasons to keep her out of his life. And for heaven's sake she should spying on her son so much. He needs time to cope, she is not helping by lurking in the shadows. Its plain creepy.
I hope the CVs don't end the track by making Rudra accept his mother. This is an important track which is not working because of the pace. Nobody will expect an estranged son and mother to get back to a normal happy family routine. Emotional scars take years to disappear. And rushing the process will just belittle the pain the broken child went through. The reason people don't relate to Paro is because she gets over things too fast. That may be her character flaw. But it shouldn't become the show's flaw to.

you have explained it so well👏
about the line i have underlined, i find that Paro's main flaw is that she never learns from her past mistakes and does not prioritize Rudra's opinion much.
I also want Rudra not to forgive Mala so soon, atleast not before there is an actual cause for him to do that.
