Yep. Like I said my point was regarding yesterday there was a discussion that Rudra's feelings started from Aug & took 2 months to develop.
So wanted to post about the earliest scene/episode in season two in which there were irrefutable hints about his feelings.
Didn't post about scenes wherein there may be ambiguity that he's doing it for Saaransh/insaniyat ke khatir etc.
S1:
The RuSha falling on bed scene was like a first fascination kinda thing.
Agree regarding girl vs. adversary 👍🏼👍🏼
Subsequent few episodes he got crush dheere dheere and was attracted. In BB wedding it was full on crush but ofcourse it was offset by all the melodrama of Rajeev. His crush in this phase manifested in the form of always jumping to romantic antics as the first solution to any problems i.e. carrying her away half the time, holding her by the waist, touching her, etc.
S2 initial: All this crush/attraction got a deeper bond due to Saaransh kidnapping. We actually missed 2-3 months of mellowing down (of Rudra after the bar drama) due to lockdown. They just segued directly to first episode of s2 with the mopping scene. He did have a connection to her; even felt bad when Mish baby dropped that fruit platter due to jealousy and Pree had to clean it up.actually he started to mellow down by end of s1 itself....they still had nok jhok...just as in s2...but his view towards her and Saaransh def changed. When saransh bumped his head and pree was in panic..he took over for both of them. Then after holika when saransh was scared u again saw him be different vs his fight with pree. He allowed her to put oil ....crush aside for Saransh. Saransh started becoming more the reason for the mellowing down. And as per sarnash kidnap track promo, this was how it was supposed to be. Ru changing and pree view of him changing and them becoming a team for saransh.
In S kidnapping, he actually saw her as a human being/person & empathised with her. They were both in same boat for the first time & lost.
I was surprised when Preesha behaved all wife-ly with him & he very like a hubby when they first realise Saaransh is missing. Preesha basically demands Rudra (as a wife asking her hubby) to set things right and find Saaransh. And Rudra also fits into it n is immediately in consoling mode. Then at night when she requests his company he immediately acquiesces. Actually if u notice this dynamic started from that sarnash hurting his head in s1....but yes her asking him to stay with her was new. I feel it was the s1 thing plus the 5 things discussion plus feeling he understands what she is going through that just did something there
What are y'all thoughts on the paper kiss? Well it wasn’t really a kiss kiss in shooting terms either....but I feel that is Rudra. When in trouble kisses and love is what he thinks of. Like he did in that s1 scene...chikhi toh kiss kardunga. By now he is of course intrigued by her....prankster, watches horror movies, has a belly piercing....loving mom to his nephew..gutsy..feisty ....so he more than welcomed his usual go to strategy with her I think
