That is such an excellent point!!⭐️
Of course she is the one who can recognize, and identify Paro...but her testimony may not be accepted because a) she is not from Birpur, and more importantly b) she is Rudr's friend with benefits. Surely Thakur Tejavat will dig that bit of nugget out and challenge her as a biased or hostile witness.
Absolutely true. Forget about the villagers, not even BSD know who Laila is, so Rudra cannot really use her in a public way. But rather it gives him a starting point on how to go about attacking Thakur Sa...since his previous attempt failed.
