I actually liked their scenes today.. what I liked was that rudra is not unfamiliar to what ananya feels for him.. he knows she loves him and he doesnt want her to waste her time behind him.. he values her friendship even though he knows for her it's more than that..
I like relationships as clear as that.. it's not like someone doesnt sense someone's feelings at all.. Also she clearly told him that she is not his doormat and he better respect her.. way to go girl..
She being smart announced it in front of MJ.. so that he doesnt allow his son to become someone's puppet.. well done Ananya
