Sunara wonderful post.👏👏 Ok please bear with me and my two cents...
Coming to Paro's character I think that ST has remained true to the real essence of a woman.
Paro is what women are all about in real life. There are two main qualities that define a woman. One is compassion and the other is emotional endurance and that is exactly what ST is portraying his character out to be. It's how a woman when faced with adversities in life, only make her stronger.
See Paro has faced tragedy at a very early stage in her life. Her character building has been taking shape since she was a very young girl. She learnt to adjust, to accept her fate, and then she also had wonderful teachers in the form of Maamisa and Thakurian who surrounded her with love and affection, and being soft spoken and wise themselves taught her well. Hence despite her tragedy at that stage she received love and found a renewed hope in her new family which she embraced with open arms. The maturity, sensibility, qualities of being compassionate have all started since then. What we are seeing is the NOW, not her past, but it's her past that has made her what she is today. May it be being a good judgment of character (yesterday Sumer and earlier during the ride in the desert - she was hesitant to get on that tempo), or being compassionate, or being in tune to another's pain...it all comes from what life has taught her over these years. Others had sympathized with her years ago...today she felt for Rudra's pain and tried to offer sympathy.
This is one of the reasons why we don't see her breaking down time and again over the loss of her husband. Her grief hasn't vanished, its only that we the viewers don't see a display of it. Her power of resilience comes from her previous tragedies. She has learnt long ago to endure her pain by keeping herself busy, learning things (the embroidery work, cooking) and gratitude for the love she received from others. How could she betray them ever? She would rather give her life than betray her people.
Here lies the biggest difference between her and Rudra. Both went through their own losses, but one was embraced with love and affection by her extended family, whereas the little boy was abandoned. Hence Rudra's bitterness towards his Kakisa as well as Tanveer Chacha.
Khushi hid her pain behind all that laughter...whereas Paro is being herself. She is not afraid to cry when she has to, she is not afraid to speak her mind, she seeks strength from her Bholenath and find sjoy in simple things. She is beautiful inside out. And she will fight for and defend the righteous if she has to. Right now for her Thakur is a righteous man, but the day she gets to know Rudra's beliefs were right all along we will see another side of Parvati.
There is one very important saying, which I truly believe in..."Knowledge comes from books, wisdom comes from experience". She may not know what a gas cooker looks like but she is wise beyond her years.
This is what sums up our dear Parvati...
