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
