Laila's last gamble .. her last throw of the dice ... her threat to Paro ... should have had Rudra begging at her feet, telling her that Paro meant nothing to him, he was hers ... it was all a big mistake.

It backfired ... spectacularly.

Till then, he was trying to reason with her, placate her, roughly, it's true ... but he was with her, following her thoughts, even understanding her feelings in a way, and trying to tell her she had got it all wrong.

The moment she threatened Paro ... all bets were off. The only thought in his mind was Paro, her safety, to the exclusion of everything else ... he was out of there before she even knew it. Laila got her answer. Not Rudra's words but his actions.

A few things were proved in today episode.

I think it is official now without an inch of doubt for Rudra it is Paro now. He refers to her as such in his own thoughts, when he talks of her to someone else and final milestone reached today when he called out to her no teasing no pretence not a stranger he was calling his soul. He said Paro with such ownership, such care, such tenderness mingled with fear. I know she is Paro to few others but no one says it like Rudra does there is something in the tone of his voice he makes her name sound so beautiful it was definitely the most poignant moment in the show for me.

Rudra cares deeply for Paro. She is no longer just his witness. I wouldn't go so far as calling it love because that is going to take some more time. He definitely longs for her, he longs for what she represents, untainted unselfish purity that is untouched by the ugliness of this world, he connects with that part of paro that despite everything she is still so good yet he is battle beaten by this harsh life bearing scars but Paro is still untouched he wants to know how that feels how it feels to be good and whole again. I think he was pleased at some level that she was smiling and happy so he let her be. The staring session was done wonderfully, Rudra has such expressive eyes at that moment she was his he was hers time suspended for him. The moment he saw mausamsa reality hits him and he wants to make sure she is safe.

For whatever it is worth Rudra and Laila scene was well done and much needed for the story. Ok I have to tell this much to Rudra he has done what he did till now but going forward if he doesn't get it now that Laila is bonkers then he is a fool. So laila outburst should have proved to Rudra of Laila's delusional self, signs of which he should have seen before but I guess he didn't consider the consequences, now he knows the worst she could do is hurt the one person he is going to love more than his own life. That is human nature we continue on a certain path right or wrong even if it might be wrong if no one gets hurts why does it matter, but the moment we realize the wrong we have chosen is ready to destroy then we are forced to change. I hope Rudra changes I know he will fight his feelings for Paro tooth and nail but I hope he doesn't go to Laila to deal with his denial.

I keep harping on this Rudra just can't let Paro get hurt it is the one thought that overwhelms him ever since the first moment he met her. That is going to be the driving force of this wedding. When there are so many obstacles laila, thakur, mohini, Rudra himself, Paro herself, BSD protocol, his job, on going criminal case, the whole world seems stacked up against this wedding, but all you need in the end is one very powerful reason for things to swing the other way.

Poona, 🤗 You are too kind. As always it's the episode that does the hard work, and I shine in its reflected glory.

@ Laila: Spot on - hell hath no fury like a woman scorned - that's Laila now.

@ Why the wedding: Ostensibly as blackmail (but now it's all muddled because his emotions have crept in). Because he knows she couldn't bear to marry her husband's killer, the man who alienated her from her family, her village. So he's holding this threat over her head to get her to sign a confession that she, her village and the Thakur were guilty of gunrunning from across the border. That her wedding was a cover for gunrunning. And that she is complicit. But Paro is innocent, knows nothing of the gun-running and the Thakur's nefarious activities, and moreover had passed out when her groom was holding a gun to her head. So she has no reason to believe Rudra's version. And she won't sign. So he's trying to make her life difficult enough that she will break and give in.

@ Kakisa's problem: She was probably born that way - snarky, taunting, and making life impossible for everybody around her!!

But specifically, with Rudra, his father and Paro - well Rudra's dad owns the haveli and she wants it. She's been looking after the haveli these past 15 yrs when Rudra and his dad left it after Rudra's mother ran away. And now she's afraid they'll lay claim to it. So she wants them out. Having found out that Paro is the reason they came back, she's trying to eliminate Paro. Make her run away, and failing that, get her recognised by the Thakur's men who are searching for her. That way she can ensure the wedding doesn't take place and all three leave.

At the sangeet, she invited the entire town and visitors from passing towns in the hopes that somebody would identify Paro. That that would let her unveil Paro's truth in front of everybody. And get rid of her. She doesn't realise that Paro could be in mortal danger.

@ Where's Paro: Yup, I'm hoping she's around. And this, as you said, is the way to make Rudra acknowledge his feeling for her. And what better way then this shocking deprivation to bring out the truth. The problem was that the episode ended with the Thakur's man seeing Paro in her bedroom. Well seeing Paro's back, as she removed her bangles. In the last scene, Rudra opens the same bedroom door which is empty of both the Thakur's man and of Paro. Cliffhanger as you say!! Although, it could be that either Sunehri or Mythili went up to fetch Paro down for a ceremony. And she is safely downstairs. Hmmm...

And love your questions. They make me re-evaluate what I think of RR till date. So keep them coming. And thank you for sticking to this task, and visiting the Forum!! I do hope we are making it worth your while. 😃

Superb!! Lovely post Sabs!!!

Loved the episode!!One thinf is for sure from Rudra - Laila's scenes. Rudra's care for Paro is out in the open for the world to see!! What Maithili, Laila, other members of the household or for that matter the village folks see with Rudra and Paro, Rudra seems to be oblivious to all of that!!

Now excited to see why Thakurain returns to Birpur all in tears! Has she had an encounter with Rudra already, however brief? Has Rudra recognised her if not confronted her? Where has Paro vanished?

And when Laila fainted, he decided to carry her to his room!! Carry a nautch girl to his room in front of assembled guests at his own Sangeet!! That's inappropriate to say the least. Yes it can be explained away as because he didn't want Kakisa to get information about Paro out of her. But there was also care. Which of course paled drastically before his concern for the missing Paro in the balcony.

Why should that threat have had Rudra saying he is hers?

That was supposed to get him to reveal what the bride meant to him...she had been asking him what was so special that he decided to get married...and he wouldn't tell her...this was the way she learnt that the bride meant a lot to him and in fact misunderstood that it was indeed love that was the reason for this marriage!

She got her answer is my POV!

And she hasn't actually done anything to Paro so it was a deliberate attempt to goad him into revealing the reason!

He ran because he couldn't afford Paro to be harmed by Laila of all people! Yes care for Paro but also Paro the witness who he has been protecting for so long!

This was nagging me too, he returned with her to keep an eye on her believing Paro is safe upstairs. Then she faints and in front of all guests and family he says he will take her to his room! Either way it was a dead end for him, by doing this he has alerted Kakisa and Sumer Radar, if laila had gone with maithli he wouldn't know what mischief she would be up to.
But Major Sa's feelings have are totally playing havoc with his mission...& as the days draw nearer to the wedding and court Marshall...The poor guy is surrounded by women problem makers from all sides...😆 what a situation to be in

His mother set the stage
Kakisa fuels the fire
Paro refuses to understand him
n nw Laila wants revenge...😆😆😆...All I can say is Good luck Major...
