Yeah... I thought about this too. The scene before the hand burning was sheer, clear intimidation, bordering (?) on harassment. In real life, just imagine this tall, army man bending all over you. It is scary.
But as is the case with all soaps, willing suspension of disbelief is a pre requisite. It was hot, and exciting to watch. I won't say that I was downright repulsed. And that is because I (and many others) have been watching these scenes repeatedly over the years. Be it TV, papers, or any other media platform. Consequently, we get desensitised to such abuse. Treat it as normal. The man being in the "lead" is natural and somewhat desirable across cultures- or so we have been made to believe. Am I to blame? Maybe, for subscribing to such ideas.
I'm glad you pointed this out. Self abuse is never the answer, definitely not a solution. I guess we can continue enjoying the show, but the caveat - do no try this, EVER- applies. Be aware, be happy.
Very well said.
It is a soap and there is a context to be kept in mind.
Forget the hotness of the man or how romantic he may seem it's not like he is doing all that he can to simply torture her so he can enjoy it!
Far from it he himself doesn't want any of this...he is fighting too...to save his mission..and his soldiers martyrdom.
Paro is unwittingly on the wrong side and I admire her resolve to not give in...she has been awesome in showing strength so far.
Rudra had no idea she would go to that extent...his expression when she told him why she burnt her hand clearly said that...and there was no gloating or any sort of victorious look on his face until he took care of soothing her pain first...forcefully yes...but still gently pouring water over her hands..
It's not like he knew she was going to go that far.
As for who won...again it's a soap...the story is written in a particular way...if we draw parallels to the real world a man in Rudra's position would not tend to his captives ankle...would not take a slap for her...would not bother if she burnt her hands...would use a lot more than just psychological torture to break her.
However sensual scenes may be I don't think blatant physical torture would be condoned...there has been a depiction of care from Rudra and he has been shown to not treat Paro just like a witness and only mentally and physically torture her so I think we have to take everything in the context of the show.
