Here's my take:
Friday's episode was lovely. I loved how Rudra ran to protect Paro from the blazing fire. Although he intended to punish the culprit, Paro became his priority and he ran to protect her. This is an indication that in the future he will leave his duty as an officer to protect and stay with his love. Poor Paro was grief stricken by the current happenings and the possibility of her nightmare becoming a reality. She faints from fright and exhaustion. Her savior Rudra comes on time to hold her in his arm as he prevents her from any injuries. For a moment, Rudra is shocked and overwhelmed to have an unconscious beauty in his arms. He looks at this innocent beauty and carries her securely in his arms, away from the fire and any other harm. I liked seeing Rudra's caring and protective side as he held an unknown and helpless girl. She was vulnerable and at his mercy and yet his only focus was to get her to safety.
Paro awakes to see Rudra's face first. Rudra seems to be kind today as he lets the girls off the hook. He doesn't feel like interrogating them as they have already been through a lot. He is momentarily surprised to learn that Paro is the bride. I suspect that he was partially disappointed but the officer in him masks his feelings. He glances at the beauty one last time in his rearview mirror and he catches her gaze at his direction. For some reason they can't keep their eyes off each other, be it curiosity or simply attraction. Paro is probably surprised that a BSD officer saved her and her dignity. She has been raised to believe their cruelness and yet she is exposed to the generosity and civility of Rudra. On the other hand, Rudra may have kept a distance from women as he is an army officer, thus it's weird to be around a lovely and innocent girl.
I liked how Paro was worried about Rudra's injuries as his blood had stained her blouse. This is yet another connection that she is now tainted or bonded with his blood. Rudra risked his life to protect her and Paro is still overwhelmed and surprised by his actions. She knows that she would not be safe and alive if it was not for Rudra. But what about the tales she heard against BSDs, could Rudra be different?
It was interesting to see Tewajat and his wife verbally show their displeasure of the girls praising Rudra, a BSD officer. Tewajat angrily shouts at Bindi to stop praising the evil BSDs, he'd rather take the praises of a dog than these men. It is probably the first time that the girls are exposed to his anger, Paro is shocked while Bindi is in tears.
So apparently Paro is not allowed to leave her home without her doli. She's momentarily kept at home for the fear that anything bad may happen to her again. I loved the scene where mamisa gives Paro her mother's wedding attire and tells her that she can wear it for her wedding. Paro has tears of happiness as she embraces her mother's clothes. She feels as if she has her mother in her arms as she smells her fragrance from the attire. It was such an emotional scene. Sanaya was excellent in this scene. We could feel her longing and great love for her mother.
On the other hand, Rudra recalls his last talk with his father about leaving for Birpur. His father angrily denies going with his son only to be called by his name. Rudra tells his father to forget the treacherous woman who was his mother but his father claims he could never forget her as Rudra has her eyes. This scene was interesting for me as it shows a reversal of roles. When Rudra was a child, his father shoved a plate of roti in front of him and tried to force him to eat, he even said that his mother must be forgotten as she belonged to no one in particular. At that time, his father was the dominant one and now Rudra dominates his father. He gives a plate of food to his father and shouts at him to forget his ex-wife. It is interesting to witness how time has changed people and to what extent. Rudra has experienced a drastic change in character over the years and now he is ruthless and nothing but ruthless.
Paro experiences yet another nightmare but this one terrifies her further since she recognizes Rudra as her tormenter from her former nightmare. She is torn between reality and her dream. The precap is terrifying. I can't believe Tewajat kills Bindi so that he could not be exposed. He has fallen even further in my eyes. I'm excited for Paro's wedding and Paro-Rudra's next meeting. Ashish, Sanaya and Tarun were brilliant in today's episode.
