I am simply copy pasting Jaya di's post to tell what I wanted to tell my issues regarding yesterday's episode was not standalone. She has explained it perfectly n I realized that I don't need to add anything else or write it again as this is exactly how I feel! 👏
I think what this one episode without Paro has done is to highlight a discontent that's been building up over some time at what to many, including myself, seems to be a disregard for Paro's thought's and feelings. We know Paro doesn't want to get married but has she thought about what she'll do if the marriage goes ahead? Does she worry about Rudra trying to get close to her? Does she get scared thinking that this might be for life. We know she's left everythign in God's hands but she's human and she can't not think about these things. She came back to the haveli partly because she had nowhere else to go and partly because she wanted to prove her innocence. Remember the dialogue that when she had proved her innocence then Rudra would beg for forgiveness but she wouldn't forgive him? So how is she planning to prove her innocence? Why don't we see Paro remembering the important people in her life when her wounds are still so fresh.
I thought the episode was fine and I liked the ThakurSa-KakiSa scene but instead of the Maitali-Samrat scene which was nothing new why not show Paro thinking about how strangely Rudra behaved when he 'found' her yesterday or even a scene showing how everything is hurtling out of control. Where is the story of Paro's journey or does it just exist in relation to Rudra? To show character growth we have to be privy to Paro's thoughts and for that we have to hear her introspections.
Perhaps Ashish being absent and Paro not getting screen time is just a coincidence and Paro's screen time would have been the same even if Ashish was there but not seeing her on screen today just reminded me that my attraction to the show was that we were going to see Paro's journey. It is still early days but if I don't know how Paro thinks today then how am I going to see her growth and understand the changes she's undergone?
I like that this show is developing other characters too which is important but it shouldn't be at the cost of the story's heroine.
One option I have personally in mind is this one
It actually doesn't have to be full sad also... they can use many flashbacks - freshly shot, which we have not yet seen. Some escapades with Bindi, some specific memories with her jija, maybe her wedding and bidai and how a happy young Paro was helping out in it, how she n mamisa had some moments, show how her Thakurainmasa taught her how to sew..and how she used to spend a lot of her time with her...
Use them to give us her memories of happier days along with reminding us who Paro was before she lost her identity.. those will cover a lot of screen time in a happy way.. it might have an underlying bittersweetness at the end of the memory.. but that usually works well..
So i truly hope they go that path.
