This is a fun post, not a bashing post, just my two cents on the episode...
Well, it was entertaining as a circus is , as is, as per the title of this post.
Lets talk about the ambience that a circus demands, it was all there,
the fire,
the light,
the music,
the colour,
the decoration,
the performers ( Rudra - the Ringmaster and Paro - the one being led ) and
the spectators ( the rest of the Ranawats ofcourse).
π‘π‘π‘π‘π‘π‘
Everyone is equating this marriage to Paro's circumstances, her not being educated, being a village girl, widowed, engaged etc etc and this is the best fate she could ask for...
REALLY?????
The way I see it, the only adjective, verb, circumstantial condition that matters at this minute, that puts Paro in this situation is that she is in love. She is in love with her nemesis. No girl, even if she is a village girl, illiterate, widow, poor, homeless, anything, will not go through this, will not subject herself to this kind of behaviour. It was literally like a circus, and Paro, in this analogy, is not even a human, she is an animal, being led around, whipped by the ringmatser to wiggle, to stand on one toe, to jump through a ring of fire ...we can equate ecah one of her stunts to the 8 vachans...
πππππππ
Paro's submission was, because, she is in love, not because she is not worthy of a better future or another future, Paro did this , because at this minute, perhaps she was more conecrned about Rudra's condition.
This is also partly the reason the rest of the Ranawats ( the sane ones - Danveer, Samrat and Maithili) did not speak up as they know this is Paro's wish, not the way it happened, but that it happened. Still, there is no justification, how they can just stand there and not try to detract, a drunk, out of mind Rudra.
Drunk or not, hurt or not (I have not seen the last episode where his emotions were portrayed), he behaved abominably, and if one were to asky WHY EXACTLY?
Because, he was insulted, threatened with losing the only thing he valued in life - his job.
Lets remind ourself here - Rudra has not lost his job yet, he was given a warning to make things right, and this should happen in any sane organisation, who gave him the right to act out a fake marriage with Paro earlier to intimidate her into submission? EXACTLY WHO? Not BSD...
But he did that, he misused his power as BSD major to get Paro in this condition, and BSD has every right to query him, demand explanation, and mete out punishment...
There I said it - every word and action of Rudra today was wreaking of illiteracy, immaturity, unacceptable behaviour. The way he picked her up and had not one iota of concern for her honour when he declared why he picked her up and took her to her room, in front of the entire family...
How can you Paro, still love him????
How can you??
And the irony of it all is - that this happened because you love him.
Looking forward to the story going forward.πππππ
