Just wanted to share an honest thought here...I am not sure how well I can put across my point...

..I try to follow RR...I do enjoy some episodes...I do read some posts in the forum now and then...

I have been reading some discussions about trps and the characterisations and so on...

I watch RR for entertainment. I am GH's dream audience..dekhna hai toh dekho!😉😆

Like i said, I do enjoy some aspects of the show...

But I keep wondering about the story line. It is not about showing Paro's tears..not at all...at least not for a viewer like me. I don't want any tears at all..but there has to be some valid reason why GH or ST thinks the audience will accept a woman sharing eye locks with her husband's murderer...even if they are innocent queries...

I am not saying Paro should enact a Sati here...but it defies logic that she can have feelings for her dead husband, yet not repel physical proximity of the man who killed that innocent man. (I am not even saying that he ruined her life , her dreams...because as a girl who gave up her favorite doll to a complete stranger..I guess the maker is telling us that she is sympathetic towards others in her own misery.) But it is confusing for me that she does not resent Rudra as the man who killed one innocent human being...or she resents at times..but wants to see goodness in him...as she has seen, through so many glimpses..be it him saving her from the goons, or (her) attachment towards his father, or the recent letters from a son to his mother...may be she is meant to be confusing...or she is just confused...(More likely!)

There may be a million explanations to Paro...we can all play the Devil's advocate...but there has to be some way of convincing the audience of the story you are trying to tell...you cannot expect a busy housewife to sit and make up excuses for Paro..nor can you expect a thinking woman to bend her ideals and convictions to follow a certain heroine...if so, RR really is for a select audience...and what is that select audience? Fans of an actress? Fans of a love story? When there are so many interesting love stories to pick and choose from...what makes RR different and palatable to the majority of viewers? I think it is high time the makers started thinking in this direction.

😳 Just my POV..

PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS AS A BASHING POST...I feel there is something wrong somewhere, and I am just trying to point it out. 😊

Ditto!! for this part! just 2 mins back i wrote this in an explanation given by Dia di in her post!

Until she explained letter by letter i did NOT understand either. And i doubt a regular viewer who is not an ardent fan will at all get her this way!

Precisely! I follow so many shows flipping my remote around...and there is quite a lot of interesting love stories out there. There are some things that irk me about RR...so I skip those things...particularly, I cannot digest so much of chemistry so early on...That could be just me...or many more like me...

I think RR had an excellent premise to start with...and if the makers had not rushed it with the chemistry, the story would have picked up on its own. The way I see it, unless U R a fan who is watching the show just to see an intense love story...pretty much of the story is watered down. Even for a person like me, who likes to watch passionate romance..RR goes above my head...

Now the fans can claim it is because I am too critical, or the regular viewer can exclaim it is beyond them..the fact is, what U R making should make sense to a majority of the people ...

Frankly, to me, RR is about some passionate emotional outbursts loosely connected to make a story Those intense moments are inspiring, unfortunately the story does not support it well.

This is an honest opinion..thank U...😳 I don't want to start about how I feel Sanaya is wasted in the show...If people think she is awesome in the show..they don't know what she is capable of...neither does ST!😉😳

I am so glad there is some one who thinks like me.😃

I like SI, I also like love stories and I also watch other soaps.

I agree with every thing you said and our friends in this forum may give numerous reasons justifying paro's behaviour but as unbiased viewer I miss that hatred in paro's eyes for some one who destroyed her life completely , took her away from her loved ones and now is forcing her against her will to stay in this house.

Also I still don't understand the reason paro came back.

Are we suppose to buy that she actually thought he would destroy the whole village and kill every single person who stays there?

Rudra couldnt find her when she disappeared all of a sudden, wasnt there some place or some one else in the whole village she could go to, couldn't she gone underground or stayed somewhere else and wait and see what happens next.

I know we are not allowed to talk logic and reasoning where daily soaps are concerned but there has to be some validity towards action.

I don't want to state my views on rudra's reason for keeping paro in this haveli.They are even more absurd.

The BSD major had to resort to force a innocent gal(trust me these guys are trained to judge a person just by looking at them , like Aman does ) and use TRP oriented forced , unrequired(most of the times) push-pulls instead of using spies to find out what thakur does with the guns or tapping the phone lines or the supply chain involved in this exchange deal of weapons.

I agree, they had to some how keep the lead pair together but the reason is just not convincing enough for the average TRP viewer.

Please dont take this as a bashing post, I really like the leads and the concept and really want the makers to understand that things will not work like this.

They need to pull their socks and think scenarios which are interesting enough to pull the viewer from other shows to RR.

Thanks for reading.

*sigh*

I think you've nailed the number one thing that bothers me about RR-- Paro.

Nobody confuses me as much as she does. Her grief, her anger, her resentment, her repulsion-- all of it often feels contrived.

Or maybe not even that. Just...fair weather.

She may not have known Varun to grieve his death for very long. But she IS a very young girl brought up in a very sheltered environment. In her own words, all she has wanted in her life is belonging. And that is what Varun meant to her. She knows nothing of his duplicity. But she belonged to him and he to her-- however briefly.

Rudra, in her eyes, has mercilessly killed not just an innocent man, but also the one person she finally belonged with. AND his whole family. AND has successfully alienated her from her village.

So he has basically ensured that she doesn't belong ANYWHERE-- the one thing that meant the most to her.

Under the circumstances, Paro's reactions often seem inconsistent.

Her general obedience broken only by occasional acts of defiance honestly don't make the most sense to me. If the makers want to tell us that she hates Rudra and considers him to have ruined her life, then they're not doing the best job of convincing me of that.

If the makers want to create a more Stockholm Syndrome like case, then that too is half-hearted. Or maybe, I'm not evolved enough to understand their deal and read micro-expressions. *shrug*

In the meantime, I watch because Mohini-Mala-Dilsher-Tejawat intrigue me. And because Sanaya and Ashish look really good together. What can I say, I'm rather shallow that way. 😆

😳 Wow! U speak my mind...

Even I didn't get why she came back. He had let her go...she was free...she should have run away and led him on a wild goose chase! It made no sense that she meekly came back, claiming her silence would make him feel bad!😕😆 Would have been fun to watch!😆

Sigh i am at the brink of giving it up..dia di n some other friends are the reason i am sticking other than for my need as a fan in watching sanaya. I am so disappointed with the execution.
N i am also not on about sanaya getting wasted. Cz if she cried holding letters about rudra's past or her own she gets to perform the same way. This is about me being at sea with paro the character. I loved her in the 1st 3 weeks. But now i am simply trying to find her...cz i am so disconnected with her
