Lovely post, and good to see you back, Sabs! Hope things are better at your end.
It was a roller coaster of an episode ... Rudra losing his temper over Paro taking the bangles off, forgetting all about his job, his role play in front of the SWs ... I was confused first as to why he lost his cool ... I thought the end of the scene on Thursday showed that he understood something was wrong ... but apparently not 😕 It was just his anger at Paro's playacting ... and then her taking off the bangles.
Loved Paro yesterday as she explained to the SWs in clear terms about their marriage ... she never told a direct lie, she only spoke the truth, but in such a way that it saved the day for Rudra.I did not understand why Rudra looked so confused when Paro was talking ... she didn't say anything he didn't know already ... unless he was flabbergasted at her calm way of defending him, after he had just been so cruel and nasty to her, and she had been upset just a few minutes earlier.
Liked the lady playing Damyanti ... she was good ... her no-nonsense calm way of listening to Paro, and of course shutting up Mohini with a warning. I also loved the little admonition she gave Rudra about how his anger can cause relationships to splinter and break, and how hurtful words, once spoken in anger, can never be taken back. Those words should have struck home ... because he had just hurt Paro sharply with his words a few minutes before.
The last scene was for me, the best ... my heart broke for Paro, as she tried her best first not to raise her hopes about the Jaipur trip ... and then to hide her disappointment when Rudra said he would not take her. Both actors were superb there.
Diya!! 🤗Thanks!! Things are better and, finger crossed, will continue to improve.
As usual, great analysis and some really sharp observations:
@ Rudra losing his temper in front of the SWs: Gosh! That gave me a bit of a shock - I was actually yelling for him to watch out for the SWs!! But no, our Rudradev just went for the jugular and no thoughts to the consequences - when will he learn!!
@ Rudra confused by Paro's defence: It seemed to me that not only was he surprised that she'd stand up for him after he'd been so nasty to her, but that he actually doubted whether she'd ever come through for him when push came to shove. And of course there were the implications to consider - this meant that she actually really wanted him to get his job back, which therefore meant that she'd never wanted him to lose his job in the first place - therefore that he couldn't blame her for putting his job on the line, therefore the basis of his hate marriage and his hate-filled vows was wrong. Massive recalibration there - and shell-shock justified. 😃
@ Anger causing relationships to break: I took that as a forewarning of things to come - I expect the day is not far when Rudra will say something totally unforgiveable to Paro in his anger and that will be the day he will fall off his pedestal with a crash and become human to Paro.
@ The Jaipur heartbreak: Diya, totally with you in this one. The heartbreak was as much mine as Paro's. It was such a small joy too. I do hope Rudra gives it to her. She deserves so much more for saving him his job.
