A conundrum.....

Hello Lovely People

I have just discovered my latest obsession with this show.😃 The cinematography is fabulous...the burning sun and the desert sands are captured beautifully along with SI and AS...who by the way are doing an amazing job at portraying their characters❤️...the story and screenplay could be better...but its a Daily soap so yea...we have to put up with the illogical...


Coming to the Point...I consider myself a Staunch Feminist...I am always up for Women's Equality...actually that is a lie...I am more inclined towards Women's superiority 😈 😆 Iand Yet I am loving this show and surprisingly I am loving Rudra as well...it baffles me to think exactly why am I so fascinated with the character and this show?

I saw the last couple of episode with Lahu in the Maang and the forced power-play of self mutilation. I was horrified with the thought, how desperate and cornered one must feel in Paro's situation? what must be going through a persons head to burn herself for 10 seconds on that pan...negating every human instinct and reflex of your nerve endings telling her to pull away, to flinch away...but she stood there and chose to take that pain


She thought she had won...and Perhaps she had...but Rudra doesnt loose...he wouldnt give an inch...not even for a moment...not even let her have this victory after going through so much pain...he forced her agony filled hands to apply the cooling Henna, all the while burning her soul in the process...just to prove to her that he will be relentless in his pursuit of justice for his men who died because of his mission.

I want someone to kick his ass!! (Read Paro) ...I want someone to beat some sense into him...some humanity into him...and more importantly I want to hate him...and Yet here I am...I am enthralled by him...No matter how much I hate what he is doing...I still admire his single-mindedness to achieve his goal...his absolute commitment to his cause no matter what...his devil may care attitude...his vulnerability...his sheer force of will that made him rise above his screwed up childhood and find some semblance of a life.

So My conundrum is...why 21st century, educated, independent women find Heroes like Rudra Pratap Ranawat so attractive? even after knowing what a woman hating, misogynist, messed up, control freak he is? why do women actually like characters like Rudra...the romance genre is filled with Characters like him...especially desi soaps...we had Angad Khanna, Thakur Digvijay singh, Maan Singh Khurana, ASR, RK and many many more...why do we women like these men? why do we watch them every day doling out their healthy doses of MCP behavior against our lovely pure heroines? 😕


Is it because we all are secretly fascinated with Stockholm Syndrome?😕

Is it because, the more someone is mighty, the greater their fall is?

Is it because we all think that Beast is the best type of Hero and should be treated with kindness for Beauty to win him over...no matter how cruel and unforgiving he is towards her?

Do we all want to be rescued all the time?

Or Is it because we all want to see these heroes eat their words and brought to their knees by their women?


These question has been bugging me for a while...I would like some opinions...please feel free to agree or disagree...these are all my opinions and thoughts not statements of fact 😉

there.. you said it.. we educated people preaches equality and wears mask of equality...but if you ever had lived in a village, you should see what equality is..in the day time we can hear the wife's roaring and in the night a boozed husband's roaring... then about women's superiority, who doesn't want to boss her husband, atleast once in a while.. likewise who doesn't want to see their dear heroine taming a beast and tying him on her saree's pallu..but one thing is must he has to be unique in expressing love..

Oh yes I like Such heroes- and Im not some starry eyed teenager- 😆 (a science researcher 😊)..

We like them because they are Not Hypocrites! They DoNot Deceive!

Gosh I am breaking my "bhishma pratigya"😆 (of not writing my own thots after yesterday's forum bizzare) by answering ur questions...ermmm with my thots!🤔
