To me the first 2 minutes of the epi with Rudra speaking his mind were the most interesting today...
The Raja-Rani-Pari metaphor continuing and Rudra unwittingly letting it slip that HE doesn't want the Queen i.e. his Paro to leave😆
Interesting things mentioned by Rudra in this bit:
1) Yeh bhi toh ho sakta hai ki puri kahaani hi galat ho...ki Rani ke samajhne mein galti ho gayi ho👏😆...Thank you, Rudra! For putting it out there...
2) Then he follows it up with something even better...using Paro's own PERCEPTION argument on her👏👏😆...I absolutely loved it...a nicely put in FB reminding Paro of her own chitrakaari of drawing that circle on the floor would have been even better...kuch yaad aaya, Paro baisa? Ek hi cheez ko dekhne ke do alag tareeke? What about some benefit of doubt now when the ball is in your court?😆
3) Rudra reminding Paro that she should know he has no heart to give away so what is this matter of bringing the heart back from the Pari?
4) Rudra asking her why she can't see that SHE is handing her strings into Laila's hands and LETTING her manipulate her...LETTING her seperate Paro from Rudra?
5) And the clincher...if Paro has trusted Rudra all along to save her life, to protect her, why can't she trust him over THIS?
For this scene alone, baaki sab kuch maaf...even the daal gulping tug of war happening later on the epi😆...As an aside, LOVED Mohini's W*F expressions during this scene..."Yeh kaunsi kahaani hai?"😆
I also loved two other things...Rudra finding out that Laila fixed the puppet show...and then later on him taking the reigns and telling Paro that Laila's time is up and he isn't gonna listen to any more of Paro's mutinous arguments on this...Yet again he tried to ask Paro why she can't see that Laila is just spreading poison...but Paro is on a deliberate self-destructive streak now so I guess Rudra has no choice but to take the reigns in his own hand...left to Paro, she will keep on bonding with Laila over childhood stories, imlis and god knows what😕
In my opinion today's epi was better than yesterday's.
