Tale of a pair of the shoes - Page 3

Chachi was simply goading Paro to fall into her trap, and Paro had to do best not to fall into it. It was clear she didn't want to do it, but doing anything otherwise would arouse further scrutiny and suspicion around Rudra & Paro's "relationship". It was all a test and Paro passed.

NB sa,

i liked rudras rection to paro picking up his shoes

We all have to keep remembering that this story is set under a rural backdrop where it is all about which village you belong to shades of a caste sort of loyalty
And I am guessing for Paro her village has not seen any of the gizmos and technology that we take for granted Tejawat has seen to that for else no way could some gun running operation take place without a voice raised
From the limited knowledge of my exposure to Indian films/soaps regional national shoes are the great leveler in all Indian films soaps You love your husband you will clean his shoes before he goes to work or remove his shoes when he comes home tired from work You polish those shoes for your man is working hard to feed clothe and shelter you and you show your gratitude for his generosity

I was not surprised that Mohini asked her to do so for that would have been the test of loyalty for a woman steeped in conservative values and upbringing read Paro Whilst Mohini may not do it anymore if ever but she has her Bahu Metre to check the potential quality of submissiveness in daughter in laws and her willingness to pick after her husband would mean that there is a relationship that seems dysfunctional to us city slickers but perfectly normal in their timeline

As for Paro she is what a 5th standard pass whose only greatest happiness was the supposed but alas now gone opportunity to chose her wall paint run her kitchen et al and there is the inbuilt mechanism to respect authority and SI did portray her dismay and reluctance but yet fear of disrespecting an older person well enough for me to be ok with the scene She did not do it willingly but was forced to comply given the circumstance and she also saw the pain his father was feeling So she chose to alleviate that as well

hI sWATHI. 🤗

I agree it is a realistic portrayal of how things still happen in some places back home. Its just that, i found it demeaning to watch.

In fact I also understand that Kaaki didn't mean to demean her. She reckons that only a woman completely in love with a man will carry out such things, which I agree with. I move my hubby's shoes and he moves mine. We have no such reservations.

So the scene is relevant to the story, I guess.

But you know me, I get pissed off as soon as I watch such stuff and shoot a post.

NB I do get that feeling even I cringed but then remembered it is Paro a barely schooled very ignorant one at that I have a very sneaky feeling that she will soon be the one hurling missiles to Mohini to protect Rudra as and when she decides to care for him I just hope Nautanki does not do the Satyanash but stick to the script

NB sa,

I thought she meekly agreed because she did not want to raise any doubts in anyone's mind, as she agreed to play along with Rudra's plan.

So when chachi asks her to mind the shoes, Paro follows orders to stay consistent with Rudra's story that she is his fiance. In villages, women do a lot of household chores for the husband - in fact women do a lot of unpleasant chores for the family, none of which are show in the show. Walking miles to get pots of water, working with cow dung to coat the house, cooking with lung-polluting, asthma inducing fossil or firewood fuel - are some examples.

as for modern day setting of picking your husband's shoes - its a matter of what a couple shares. its mutual understanding, not necessarily a matter of black and white definition. Barring mental, verbal, or physical abuse, anything else you do for each other as an act of love is acceptable - me thinks.

I know SJ, I over reacted like I do a lot of times.😆

the scene does make sense and is relevant to the story.

Swathi i took a quick look at next week episodes on sets video clip. Paro gave it back to Rudra in one scene, not in a loud aggressive way. she remained as Paro and spoke her words calmly & respectfully but still made her point and called out Rudra. And Rudra was taken aback.

I think Paro may soon start finding her voice.

oh my going to find these spoilers wow so no more perfumes and sweets but straight from the sets damn times have changed
I am desperate for anything that will show Paro having spine I don't expect her to be khushiwala but would love to see her growth and gosh why is it in love stories that only the lead men seem to have this well thought out and well scripted lines 😡
ok now I am asking for the moon

Now I cannot say whether Rudra refused because he disapproves of the tradition, or because he is anal about Paro touching his things as a fake fiance, but I found the scene consistent with story telling.
