Hi Diya,
I see a lot of discussion about Rudra's behavior on the forum, and rightly so, you know where I feel the disconnect starts is you have this Rudra who is hell bent on scaring the living day lights out of Paro and intent on making her submit to his demand by sheer intimidation and appropriate blackmail thereby saving his own ass even while he has admitted to himself that she is innocent then you hv that Rudra who showed glimpses of compassion and tenderness in the recent episodes gone by. Something does not quite match up. I might be the only one but they should hv kept to the ruthless Rudra because that would hv established his character as that... Now It's almost like he can switch back and forth between this normal as he can be given his own situation and this monster he can flip a switch and morph into. Let's face it, he is a troubled, flawed and emotionally damaged individual who like his senior officer said is rash. And now that his only real identity is under threat, his worst is coming out. You can judge a person by how they handle adversity. Paro is holding up admirably the same cannot be said about Rudra, even though he is supposed to be an officer oft he law and by definition an honorable man. May be that is how they intend to establish his character and show his flaws.
Sure he saved her honor numerous times and has even saved her life by keeping her in his haveli. But does that justify this blackmail? No way. So the best thing is to accept that he is flawed, and Paro is caught in this unfortunate whirlpool and has been reduced to a mere pawn between more powerful people. Could he have saved her by other means? Possibly. But widow or not, criminal or not, Paro is first a human being and deserves to be treated as one. One right does not justify ten other wrongs.
This goes to show, that more often than not those that need protection and a voice are the ones who rarely get it.
