To take it further, Desdemona, Othello's wife, marries him very very much against the wishes of her family and her society. She falls in love with him, again not because she wants to but because she is fascinated with him, having never seen a man like him in all her life.

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" color="#0000ff">As he is the Moor, a hated group of people at that time, Desdemona marrying him makes her an enemy for her own family. Her father is shocked and throws her out of his house, for marrying a man who is hated and feared. She is helpless, and dependent on her Othello fully, for everything. He, also, is obsessed with her without ever really understanding even the first thing about her.

Desdemona and Paro have a lot of parallels--if she does marry Rudra, it will be against her village, and her family. She will be rejected, and have no one but Rudra, and will depend on him for her very life and existence. And he wont understand her, since she is an "auraat."

Unlike the independent, fiesty and clever Khushi Kumari Gupta, Sanaya is playing Paro as an abla nari (which is in keeping with Desdemona). D is known as one of the most tragic figures in Shakespeare because her innocence is so pure, it ends up killing her--literally becoming the reason for her death. She to the last moment does not UNDERSTAND his pain or his jealousy because she has no negative emotions like this inside her--she is too simple and too good for them.

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" color="#0000ff">And finally, Paro is showing each and every sign of Desdemona--who was totally naive and innocent, who did not see evil that was right in front of her (Iago-Thakursa? ),and even after falling in love with her, she was not someone he even trusted after marriage, and she gives up everything for him, even her life.Desdemona life and her death is Othello's sole decision. Again, like Rudra right now.</font>

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" color="#0000ff">Ultimately, Othello kills her because of his own past, and his own personal demons. Ultimately, SHE dies because he always believes that such a beautiful, sweet woman HAD to have something wrong with her or she would never have married him. Parallels to Rudra, all over the place bai-sa!</font>

I have read Othello and watched the English movie that was made. The character of Rudra is definitely inspired from Othello but not in every sense. The main essence of Rudra's character that resembles with Othello is that

Othello was a proud, confident and very courageous man and earned a high rank in his country..He was a General in the army and other than his work he knew nothing...That was the only part in which he excelled...Our Rudra has a similar work background and apart from his work, he definitely has no other interest except few Ahem Ahems with Laila😆 Yeah the CV's really got that background status checked on Rudra when linking to Othello. Laila is someone to spice up the TV screen, though some of the fumes are making some of us choke. 😆

Secondly, Othello never realized his love for Desdemona, until the lady proposed him after listening about the turmoil and pain he has gone through his entire life, right from his childhood and then the war times..She was memserized by the valour of the brave men and fell in love with him. Thus Othello reciprocated her love, but he was insecured since Desdemona was very beautiful who could have got any handsome, loving and caring men. Othello didn't knew the ways of courting and impressing a lady.

Rudra too is the same. He is harsh and tries to prove that he is heartless. The more he inflicts pain on Paro by his words, i really feel that its not Paro whom he tries to hurt, but he actually tries to reassure himself that he is very strong and indifferent towards a woman, whether be her a very beautiful woman. So when he will realize that she is innocent, he will accept the feelings he has for her, may be fall in love, but he will still be insecured as his love will be shadowed by roughness from outside. Thus any other man near Paro will definitely give him a complex. M so happy for this reason that Varun sa died, since he knew how to woo a woman, and Rudra would have cried like a puppy in seeing them in close proximity😆 Very nice link between Othello's and Rudra's thoughts. The insecurity and restlessness of Rudra due to Paro's beauty would be interesting to see unfold on our screens.

Lastly to answer your question in a clear way, I think CV's will not kill Paro but may be show that Rudra throws her out of his life thinking that she cheated on him. This can happen only if they want to take Rangrasiya in the Shakespearean play's direction. But then the CV's clearly mentioned that they don't want to make Othello but only want to recreate a character like Othello in Rudra...So we can definitely relax😃 This would a good direction to go as it keeps the Othello tragedy in mind but also hope for us views of a PaRud ending😳

Sorry to bore you with such a long analysis but I cold not stop myself as it was on Othello, one of my fav Plays by Shakespeare.😳 Not at all. I'm very glad you gave your take on things. Very insightful and good to think about when watching upcoming episodes of RR.

CVs have said that they want to show how love triumphs over hatred...so i hope that Paro's love helps Rudra to heal and live a good life...
