When Paro entered the Mad House what did she know about Rudra?? Practically nothing. But with each passing saas bahu episode, she started piecing the puzzle called Rudra. With Dilsher she learnt about his unusual yet rare bonding with his father. With the walking out to the camp incident, she learnt that the man was capable of caring, albeit not in front of others. The tea cup fiasco led to the painful disclosure of his mother's abandonment and she saw his tears for the first time. The fact that he did have a heart and feelings was brought home quite forcefully. The cute kitchen scenario giving them some casual time off with each other, stressing her simple village girl upbringing, and Rudra's patience to a certain extent. The adoption sequence, all that melodrama, had just one fact to underline...Rudra's underlying and surprising capacity to be selfless at times.
The few weeks that we felt were totally wasted, making it a saas bahu saga, were actually introduced by the cvs to bring the two leads a bit closer, which couldn't have been achieved otherwise. Paro learnt that the Jallad, has a past, a painful one, he has abandonment issues, hates beautiful women, abhors marriage, cannot express love, is trustworthy, strong, capable of handling anything thrown at him, calls a spade a spade, can be extremely protective and possessive...is stubborn, hot headed...loves his work, his country...phew... the list is endless. Thus, the mystery called Rudra has been unraveled piece by piece, clue by clue for Paro.
And it was not one sided. Rudra on the other hand learnt some very important lessons. The first and foremost, the girl is not a doormat, she has spirit and a quiet firm determination, a silent strength that can defeat anyone. Practicalities like her cooking, her artistic talent aside, he learnt one very important fact...she is a different woman from his mother. She would never abandon a child. Paro cares even for strangers and stands up for the ones she cares. Her family values, be it her bonding with his father, or Jeeja, or Sunehri, opened his eyes to a yet unknown facet of her personality. Her morals, her innocence, brought about such a solid change, that the man unconsciously realized that Paro could not have been involved, she just wouldn't stand for something so wrong.
