Hi Sush ... been away for a week, so missed all the awesome episodes of last week, and your posts ... just catching up. I thought you would be happy with the grumpy angry Rudra back ... much more in character than the mush 😉
I did feel that the turnaround to anger while he was talking to Col Singh on the phone was very abrupt ... had to watch the scene again to figure out why exactly he threw a hissy fit there. Was it because he felt annoyed that Paro demeaned herself by begging for his job ... or because of his own ego that Col Singh said he owed it to Paro, and he felt angry that he owed his job to her, when according to him she was the cause of him losing it in the first place? Seemed to be the latter ... which made it more abrupt, since the SWs had already said as much earlier, and he had seen Paro pleading with Mrs Singh too ... but I guess the writers couldn't come up with anything better 😛
I liked the bangle scene, with the gruff, uncomfortable Rudra and the more quiet, confident Paro.
Liked Rudra's flashbacks ... again confused as to why he came back ... was it because of a realisation that Paro was more just than a witness? And therefore he had to try to push her away again ... with that prayer about her leaving his life.
Rudra's anger and frustration contrasted with Paro's calm smiling confidence at the puja ... she is beginning to know him ... and it angers and scares him that she can see through him. The walls of anger and bitterness he has erected around him are becoming transparent ... to Paro, at least. Yet he has no faith that she will stay with him ... hence he wants to push her away before she becomes indispensable to him ... and then leaves him devastated. For he is sure she will leave him sooner or later ... his 'khubsoorat aurat' phobia.
As Damyanti said, he does not understand Paro yet ... he takes at face value her declarations of love, but does not understand the depth of her commitment to him.
