I did not watch RR first day first show but instead recorded it on my DVR to watch at a later time as I was busy with the Holidays After the New Year I sat down to watch the first weeks episode in one go The opening episode was intriguing enough and her carefree run ending in the nightmare for her did pique an interest Then I saw the second and found I could not relate to her as anything but Sanaya It also did not help that she was so much in the background , very reticent with minimum dialogues and so unlike her previous famous avatar where you felt the screen light up the first minute itself

That molestation scene her heartrending screams for help and her reactions although spot on made me remember the tragedy that tore the nation on a moving vehicle and it was like any woman caught in that horrific situation and I wanted the scene to end soon


On the other hand her male costar Ashish seemed to fill the screens with his terrific presence acting prowess and action and he made that week come alive and damn I hate to confess I had literally and figuratively a near O momentEmbarrassed when he showed his body most swoon worthy and that mooche Hubba Hubba woah swathi steady you are digressing

(Wiping the saliva)

I really wondered if she had not made a horribly wrong choice Her character seemed so weak and nebulous as opposed to his and I had deja vu feelings of a former show of hers Dead

I knew that I did want to watch the show but it felt hollow and empty almost soulless and seriously I did not want to follow the story of only one been there done that and found it most unsatisfactory


But where I started to feel all is not lost is the beautiful mirror symbolism When they both stood together I saw Fire and Ice I saw the potential magic I forgot her complexion her costume in fact her itself and saw the first glimpse of Paro


She came into her own in the second week steadily improving her diction although honestly I have no idea how good/bad any Hindi is spoken much less Rajasthani so cannot judge but figured it from the confidence in her dialogue delivery which she did not have in the first week

Paro started to come to life when she wore that bridal dress This was a different swerve twirl and understated but clear expressions of joy of a new bride to be Very restrained but poignant especially when she talks to Rukmani That was the turning point of Sanaya leaving and Paro emerging from the shadows

I saw Paro in her shyness standing in the balcony and loved that eye contact scene Earnest but also afraid and she then went on to claim that scene with her bridegroom who also was fantasticClap in that cameo She clinched it in her gratitude to Lord Shiva and after that I have been at ease watching her

I guess what blew me off was the dressing of Paro They should have gone in for plaits and a gauzy dupatta but then I guess they did not want the ghost of KKG to haunt again We already have AmanLOL

There have been arguments and counter arguments on her costume but I just want to share this incident Whilst watching RR at home my bro who has NEVER watched any Indian Soap Serial and sniggers because he thinks I am a sell out for them now and has no clue about any of the Indian Television Actors stopped for a second to see her and said hey that's one hot woman what movie is this I then asked him don't you feel that this attire seems way to OTT for a village belle to which he replied but this is Bollywood they glamorize women Yes he is an idiotLOL he still thought it was a movie

I have also seen some of the chaps in the office look at her in RRD'ohMENAngry and then I thought am I expecting too much realism because it is Sanaya Truth be told what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander and I so hugely relished that bare naked chest and drool in anticipation of more such scenes In fact I might petition spam mail and call if a chesty scene is not shown lickety splick damn I am digressing again where is the tissue


So I am assuming they know what they are doing for seeing how SI is seemingly transitioning into the role my guess is Paro will be another feather in her cap and that still release of her looking triumphant and him pissed only added to the belief and now I want the PH to tell the story AS IT TO BE TOLD without any cave in to aunties mommies and grannies for Paro to be successful and redefining female roles in soaps

Yes Yes all that drooling fainting thudding drowning has killed some brain cells and that is why I hope for silly inane stuff like progressive female protagonist on Indian Television I will have more luck in asking for the moon than that

WOW!! 👏

That is one hell of a take AND one i can COMPLETELY identify with! my own points of seeing Paro was slightly different, BUT my seeing of her easing in to the role was almost the same as urs!

And uncannily on that night of the Molesting scene i despite being such a san phanki DID NOT make a topic on her, but i wrote about how it brought home that horrific real incident to me all over again..

And well said about ur brother! my brother who DETESTS hindi shows n thinks i have lost it, does stop for a moment to see her, when for him all hindi actresses r 'so blah' in his own words.. he doesn't say anything. but he has more than once lost the thread of talk when i will randomly play some video n it takes him a few seconds to resume his talk after pretending he didn't momentarily lost all focus of the discussion..

I so agree to that '
what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander' no1 has issues of male leads showing the upper body.. will swoon if they r in a pair of boxers (oh may we get that lucky soon) but have total double standards for women! (specially for Sanaya, if i may say so, cz she does stand out from the rest of the brood on TV due to her appearance, which seems to be a blessing and a curse)

PS: did any one realize i wonder that MANY male actors have commented on her appearance on the show? (KT, Nakul,Shaheed, Shaleen Malhotra) to the point ones like Nakul Mehta not just contacted her personally to tell her just how stunning she looks, but also sent a message to be aired publicly on an international show saying exactly that to her!


So i am glad u also feel that they r doing something correctly.. this show is NOT aimed ONLY at the typical TRP aunties.. many members have come forth with views of their husbands finding the show interesting and more often than not sitting to watch it with them without needing any cajoling to do it.
So i truly hope the makers tell this story exactly as they planned it..

lucky thing is they have already penned down 200 episodes straight.. so god willing (or that dratted TRPs willing more likely) they will tell us that story as it was meant to be!

Anyway i am glad that u are making this post Swati! cz at least u will not be accused of being a biased blind fan of Sanaya! So thanks a lot for penning that amazing post!

Thanks for the wonderful analysis FLS...
To me , Sanaya became Paro in her convo with Siv ji...that was the turning point according to me... I forgot all her other roles then and she became Parvati...

After that , its only been growth as the CVs show what she is made of... the contrast in characters of ML and FL is apparent ... but then that;s the premise of the story too.

She rocked on Friday... she made Paro come alive... the girl who only thinks of others always even at her moment of happiness...

Again , I look forward to character growth ... Parvati has to become Shakti...and hopefully they handle that well and tell the story as it has to be told...

Like I was discussing in some other thread , Rudra is modelled on Othello , Paro should not be Desdemona ... she should be something different , hopefully leaving the character loose will give sanaya room to play her the way she wants... in a way not dictated by TRPs...

While I do like RR for a variety of reason, I don't think it's offered me anything new so far. Damsel in Distress Check. Hot blooded angsty hero Check. Seducing Vamp check. Although Takursa is a promising character, I supposes he like, all villains before him, will be dummed down for the hero to seem smarter.
That's not to say I don't like RR. I like Ashish and Sanaya and the cast. And so far it hasn't completely bored me. There's a win. 😆

Loved your analysis

Growth of character is important and that is happening with Paro character
You are getting connected with her with each passing episode. I have full faith in Sanaya hardwork, she will completely own the character, the glimpses of which we have started to see in last week episodes

Sanaya 18 inch waist, dream of every girl, whatever said is less❤️

The whole feel of RR is grandeur. Till now characters were being established and seems like from next week , the roller coaster ride will start. Finger crossed
