Brilliant analysis, Diya!

"A raw wound, never allowed to heal, picked at repeatedly, probed, gouged, till it bursts open again and again, letting the poisoned pus flow out ... but there is always more poison buried deep inside, more poison to be gouged and pierced ... the wound scraped raw again and again, the poison flow unending ...

So has it been with Rudra ... never allowed to forget that one incident which shaped his life thereafter ... neither by his father or his malicious kaaki ..."

Absolutely spot on!! His dad never let up, and now Kakisa won't either. It was she who drove the father-son duo out the first time around, yes there were the memories, but no doubt Kakisa made life hell for the two. I really hope Rudra-Paro make her life difficult soon.

Loved your take Diya! It was a very interesting episode today with really good acting by everyone - Ananya, Ashish and Sanaya.
Loved what Paro told Sunehri about the differences between people and she almost gave herself away too by mentioning the thakurain. 😲

Rudra and the doll scene was beautiful.

Thank you 😊

Yes, Paro shows her wisdom and her maturity, as well as her capacity to read people in that scene ... Sunehri laughs about her weight, but Paro sees the hidden insecurity in the girl, and tries to reassure her. That again reinforces Paro's character ... she always reaches out to help others, regardless of her own pain and suffering.

Ashish, Ananya and Sanaya were excellent in that confrontation scene ... I wish Dilsher had not been there. He is such a strong character that it didn't gel for me that he kept standing there without saying a word when Mohini was going on and on about Rudra's mom.

It was really good to see how much that doll meant to Rudra ... now I am really waiting for the time when Paro and/or Rudra realise the connection ... that scene will be epic. It will change equations completely between them ... especially for Rudra. Paro is already beginning to see and understand a lot of Rudra's vulnerability and pain ... she is very good at seeing other people's sorrows. But I am waiting for Rudra to realise that Paro reached out to him when he needed comfort, at the cost of her own ... she gave away the symbol of her parents' love, her own comfort, to comfort him. Not just that she gave him her doll ... but what that doll meant to her, and yet she gave it away.

yshort but excellent summary...festering wound indeed and he is cursed to relive it again and again at the hands his own family...kaki, dad, inadvertently and deliberately...aggravated by the harsh realities of his monochrormatic life.

He is so damaged. so darned fragile inside. trapped forever in a life that is all back-and-white, no relief from any other shade that can bring release or relief. straight-jacketed. corrosive to his soul, and totally unsustainable. the dam will burst one day if his faith is betrayed again...and how. Thats what scares me about what the treacherous future holds for him and Paro. Tragedy lurks everywhere.

His mom is unexpectedly brought into the narrative. really blindsided me. DIdn't expect it for a moment! Very very curious. What compulsions was she under that were so dire that she abandoned those she loved the most?

Will Paro also abandon him later out of love? dark stuff is what the undercurrent of their story seems to be made of...

The doll...so beautiful. like an oasis in a registan...a touch of grace in the deepest crevices of his tortured soul...kay hoga aage?

Tejawat, kaki, sumer, mom...so many fires waiting to ambush their lives
They've set the stage well...

Great analogy, Diya⭐️ It surely is his dukhti rag, his emotional Achilles' heel. Touch him there and he howls, most tragically. For tragic it is...a small boy deserted by a most beloved mother, and who received little sympathy but all the blame. Non-existent blame manufactured by his father and his Maasi, to perhaps hide their own complicity in the crime? No brutal military training, no violent ambush has been able to prepare him for the pain of this wound.

Ashish was masterful in the scene. ⭐️

Thanks, Vistaa 😳

yes, his mother and her desertion is his Achilles heel, his most painful spot ... something he never gotten over, never been allowed to get over. Even though his father took him away from the ever-present taunts of his kaaki-sa, but his father could never forget his mother either, and never let him forget the bitterness of her desertion. And now that they are back in the haveli, the kaaki has resumed her taunts, in a never-ending stream of poison. The wound has never been allowed to rest and peace and get time to heal.

What was the revelation for me was the scene where Kaaka-sa has been in touch with Rudra's mother throughout ... showing there was a very strong reason for her to abandon her family. And that she apparently did it knowingly, not because (as I was wondering) she thought they were dead.

Paro is in somewhat similar situation now ... she has been forced to abandon her family, let them continue to believe that she is dead ... for their own safety. Is that what happened with Rudra's mother as well? Obviously Rudra's mother didn't abandon her family for her own selfish sake ... gives me hope for Rudra's eventual healing.

That's why the father took him away frm the haveli forcibly when he did. MausamSa would hv damaged the young boy beyond repair. She is so venomous. Not that the father tried to make things any better but still taking him away was a good decision,

Methinks, they r hiding something abt the mother...or the real reason of her going MIA..🥱 Poor Rudra. You rightly called it a festering wound, and Kakisa knows that and keeps on making it worse.

Spirit-sa 😃

Yes, exactly ... that's why the father took him away from the haveli, to save him from the kaaki's poison.

But I wonder ... does Rudra's father also know the reason she left? Because chacha during his conversation only referred to the fact that the son had returned, not that both father and son had returned. In that case, why did the father continue taunting Rudra about his mother's desertion too? So I feel the father also didn't know the real reason why his wife left.

Have to wait and watch ... the story is getting very interesting.

acc to me the last 5 min was epic ashish nailed that scene..the inner trauma of remm and misisng the girl he met when he was biy

and gd chachasa is in tch with rudras mom...

gd epi and precap of tdy is awesome...

Thanks, Meera ...

@bold ... that was actually the revelation of the episode for me ... the high point. That and the fact that Paro got to see Rudra's pain and a glimpse into his past, that has shaped him. Those were the two key points of the story moving forward today. And the doll connection re-surfaces ... okay, that's three key points in a single episode ... they are moving forward at a very good pace!

Hi Diya 😃

From what we hv been shown so far, Rudra's father does not seem like a very bitter or a bad person overall. So it is hard to understand his motivations for allowing all the bitterness about the wife who walked away seep into his son's upbringing and damage him emotionally this way. To be honest, his silence while MausamSa had free reign to disturb Rudra's Mausam was very surprising... Doesn't it seem odd that he did not once raise his voice or even try and attempt to intervene and help his son from that verbal onslaught? While he was so quick to jump in and defend Paro earlier? Sure he knows Rudra can take care of himself, but this was the worst attack on him in many ways...and one that leaves him the most vulnerable.

Does he know where his wife is too but his anger stems from the fact that he did not approve back then or now the reasons that caused her to leave?

What are they hiding?

Yep, Kaaki-sa muct have made life hell for the father-son duo ... Dilsher's decision to leave the haveli was probably better for Rudra as he grew up without that poison, and in the care of his father, whatever that was worth ... but at least there was rough affection and care there, under the gruffness.

But I am more and more intrigued by what drove Rudra's mother to leave and never come back ... the conversation with Kaaka shows that she does not believe her family is dead, she has kept tabs on them as much as she could through Kaaka ... I hope they have a really good reason for this, because it will be one of the high points of the story.

As will be the day Rudra and Paro realise their doll connection. Two big loops opened today ... am waiting to see where they will go. 😃
