Myrah...a total spoilt brat

Ok, here's a quick disclaimer. I'm actually loving Myrah in the show. She adds a lightness that was missing so far, and a much needed comic relief that is character-based, and not slap-stick situation (read aachar/mausam) based. And since we all desperately want her to be Paro, we naturally are a little indulgent of her, as a person. But after today's episode, I can say with some confidence that Myrah is a spoilt brat.

  • She keeps reminding Rudra that only he has an issue with her staying there. But that's not true. She took everyone's silence for acceptance. Which is not the same as agreement. She found the weakest link in Sumer and exploited it.
  • She feels that because she is paying them to stay there, she is not doing anything wrong. Which is wrong thinking on her part. It's a home, not a hotel. And that too the home of a family she does not know. She didn't once stop to think how her staying there may disrupt the family, or cause them any inconvenience.
  • She is waaay out of line when dealing with Rudra. She has decided he is rude and uncouth, and this makes it ok for her to say absolutely anything. First off, the way she got her uncle to exploit the BSD connection was under the belt. Second, she believes she has a right to tell him off regarding anything, just because she finds him rude.
  • She does not know anything about the family. She has no right to interfere or judge how Rudra handles his kids. Yet, she has a self-righteous chip on her shoulder about it.
  • She doesn't like him judging her upbringing, yet she says the meanest things about his relationship with his wife. Whether she knew or not about Paro's death doesn't matter. What she said was unacceptable, period. First she forcefully enters the house, and then expects Rudra to not have any issue with it, starts interfering in every aspect of their life, and when he doesn't quietly submit to her whims, she insults him this way.
  • She said mean things, tried to apologize, but ended up saying mean things again. She has a big ego, and doesn't like to admit that she's wrong. Even knowing a little more about Rudra, she will not admit she was wrong. She uses his behavior as justification for her behavior. Which is wrong.
  • Coming from the States, she automatically assumes that because he is a male, the rest of the family is too afraid to say anything. She has known this family maybe a day? And yet she rolls her eyes when Maithali tells her that Rudra is a good person and a good father. I was happy to see Maithili not only support Rudra, but also express her disapproval for Myrah's behavior. She has been a mehemaan there for 2 days, and she's behaving very intrusively without knowing anything.
  • Sure, she likes Dhruv. But she's cozying upto him too much, and that too inappropriately. It is not her job to discipline the kid, or cover up for him, or help him. If the parents have decided that Koel shouldn't have the doll, then the kids will have to live with that decision. It is not upto Myrah to decide to over-rule that.
  • Obviously the kid doesn't want his dad he tried to steal from him. Obviously his dad will get mad. Which dad wouldn't? Myrah taking over sends the message to Dhruv that he can get away with his dad not knowing such things. So he won't think he did anything wrong. Here, Myrah's allowing her own judgment of Rudra cloud her decision. Regardless of her personal equation with Rudra, she should have taken Dhruv to him and handed back the wallet and let the father deal with disciplining the kid.

Myrah has this self-righteous, holier-than-thou attitude. She believes she is always right, and that her judgements and her opinions are right, and so she will force her judgments on others, and not think at all about the consequences. She wants what she wants, and works to get it, and does not consider anyone else in that equation. In that, Rudra's opinion of her is right.

I know we all want her to be Paro. And I know that there are many meta-physical Bhole-baba kismet type signs pointing us that way. But Myrah is so different from Paro. Even if someone had amnesia or memory-loss, their entire personality wouldn't change! If she is Paro, I don't know how they will explain that complete personality change. Furthermore, there is no attraction between Rudra and Myrah. There is conflict, pride, prejudice, misunderstanding, ego, yes, but not that burning attraction that Rudra had with Paro. Paro always needed protection, so even when they did not get along, Rudra felt a sense of responsibility towards Paro, that translated to passion and desire. That equation is not there with Myrah. Myrah does not need anyone to protect her. She is alot more independent and prejudiced than Paro.

Sorry for the essay. Surprisingly, this new track is interesting, edgy yet light and keeping me at the edge of my seat. Let's see how it unfolds.

Myrah as an independent character (without any Rudra equation) has grown on me, and she brings a nice lightness to the show. But yes you are right, she is a spoilt brat. That's ok for now, she doesn't have to be perfect. There are plenty of spoilt brats in the world - and they also have stories of their own. Myrah has a good heart and hopefully the CVs will now focus on showing her growth - from a spoilt brat to an understanding and sensible young woman.

Yes she is flawed and that's okay she's like us normal girls out here.

No one in the world is completely white or black. Were all flawed human beings.

I agree. She doesn't have to be perfect. Which is why she's so much fun. Because she's unapologetic about who she is, flaws and all. Really looking forward to seeing how she grows.

By the way, I would just like to add that you have summarized why/how Myrah is a spoilt brat very well. I myself was trying to put the same thing into words many times as well but I was not satisfied with my summarization. You have listed very clearly how it is obvious that Myrah has a self-righteous, holier-than-thou attitude. You provide valid, well thought out and well written points. Let's hope that this attitude of hers eventually sheds as the track unfolds! It would be great to see the FL show complexity and growth instead of the ML for once!

Please take NRI out of the equation because that is not how most kids brought up abroad think or behave. Myra has been conceived by RR CVs as a spoilt brat and is totally desi in her outlook and behavior - she has just been clothed in western outfits for the TRP audience.

Ok, I apologize. I am an NRI too, born and raised n Canada, and am totally not like that, at-least I think I'm not! Thanks for the comment! Will change the post!

Agreed...most NRI kids are nothing like Myrah. We don't leave our sensibilities and sensitivities at the immigration counter. 😉

Agreed, basic manners and consideration has got nothing to do with being NRI or not!

And I have to agree with both of you. I really don't understand why Desi TV shows give this image of NRIs? I live in USA also and the last thing I will do is enter someone's house without their permission, let alone interferring in their household matters.

And dont get me started how they introduced Myrah in that shorts and short dresses. Almost all desi shows will introduce NRIs in such clothes...and I have no clue why. Being NRIs does equate to short dresses...mini skirts etc...
