I feel there is a Rudra Paro separation track coming up where Rudra's arm will heal and Paro will be gone. Rudra will mistake Paro's departure for betrayal by a beautiful woman and this concept will be abetted and aided by Laila to further her own means. Laila will probably be lauded as the one who rescues Mala and will force Rudra to re-assess his take on her - Laila may use saving Mala to get closer to Rudra. I personally cannot bear to see the story going this route - but its a possibility :(
Howdy Sush,
Ahhh you did posts. And how many? Loved all of them!🤗
Shweta what would we do without your collages! Fantastic!👏🤗
This is another episode that needs to be watched again and again. .
First and foremost I was elated to know that I was right all along about Teju and his fake love of Mala. I had always believed Thakur used Mala to put up a clean face with the Birpur waasis. (I remember mentioning this on Diya' early posts) Mala represented a good side of a very evil man. And now that he was exposed he did not need her representation anymore. Now her reasons for coming to him after leaving home are still not clear so will give her the benefit of the doubt. For me Rudra's memories of his mother are filled with love and fondness and therefore will not taint them.
Absolutely loved that today's episode took off from where it left on Monday, where Rudra walked back and forth during the sari-fold. Today he stepped back only to wait for Paro's return to him. And the washing of the blue color (poisons from his past) only gave way to the moon working as the perfect mirror to reveal his inner most soul. Whilst his real moon stood by him...the man reflected on some special moments he shared with his mother. When he placed his head on her lap and cried silent tears...he found closure to his pain, whilst sensing inner peace and contentment. The first time he did that was when he was in a drunken state after seeing his mother's picture on the wall laughed back at him...and today that little boy sought the same solace in His Paro.
RR is high on symbolism... loved the illuminating moon...whilst Rudra told his story...
"As a mirror that reflects the light of the sun, the moon represents the shadow side of the sun's (Rudra's) light. The moon reflects the mystery and fear within our souls."
And a full Moon represents "The start of a new beginning. A full moon is a sign of power and clarity of one's mind. It symbolizes an end of an event in some one's life and the cycle to begin a new chapter."
About Laila - considering this is a Hindi soap, I think it will go this way. Thakur wants her to be his negotiator and cut a deal with Rudra for his mother. What's in it for her? Nothing. So she will play smart, out beat Tej, lie to Mala that she will unit her with her son, all this while presuming that exposing his mother will only bring her old Rudra the janwar back. And it will until Rudra and his mother make peace. And then we have Paro's promise. So Laila would be one up against Paro this time. But when nothing works eventually...Laila would chose Tej over Rudra! For its all about winning and not Love!
P.S. - Until Monday I was harping on Sumer-Laila pairing, but changed my mind. Teju and Laila would be Shaitaano ne Bana di Jodi!😉
And yeah can't wait for the Moochiyon ki Tashan to happen!

Sush, very happy to see you back. It was an awesome and emotional episode. Very touching and heart warming. You said it wonderfully in your post. The episode was all about Trust and Hope. Beautiful.
Loved the first scene of Rudra and Paro. He really can't see her tears anymore 😆. Her tears make him forget everything. His only thought at that point was to take care of her, to stop her from hurting. And he instantaneously pulls her towards him, soothing her, and reassuring her that nothing and no one can come between them😉. The second he realizes what he said, he pulls back and she questions... If he agrees that there is indeed something, some relationship between them and he has no other option but to run away. I loved this scene. It totally projected Rudra's state of mind. Even though he didn't spell it out or gave it a name, his feelings for Paro do exist😳. And he is not able to keep them hidden deep inside him anymore. When they come out it confuses him as much as they confuse Paro. He is totally in love and he doesn't realize it or even want to realize it .
The Maithili, Paro scene was beautiful. Maithili clears Paro's concern that she made Rudra angry. Poor Paro totally oblivious to the reason behind Rudra's walkout till Maithili explains 😃. It can't be helped because she takes everything Rudra says literally 🤔. Now as Rudra himself accepted that he sometimes lies... hopefully that will change.
I hated the lighting effects in Thakur and Laila scene. What the hell was that? My eyes were hurting trying to follow the characters expressions. The director needs to change for me... Please. I wish it happens before we get that rain sequence all the spoilers are pointing towards. *Fingers Crossed*. This director's narration of the story is not working for me.
I loved the protective son in Rudra 😆. It was so sweet of him to say, "you should have mentioned my name when you gave money to Samrat. I would have handled Mamisa." We have such a caring man hiding under that ruthless facade of his . Dilsher softly explaining and asking Rudra to have hope was beautifully written. Dialogues writers you rocked today 👏.
And finally the terrace scene... No words. Very much needed conversation between PaRud. Beautifully written and wonderfully acted 👏. Right from the point where Rudra says, "I am waiting for you." till the song and his silent tears... I couldn't take my eyes off the screen . Very emotional scene. It was nice to see Rudra finally opening up to Paro. It is never easy to open your heart, your fears and vulnerabilities to another person... It takes lot of courage and trust 👍🏼. And for a person like Rudra, I am sure it must be a very hard task to do. And today, he did it for himself. She was not asking or forcing him to. She was even asking him to not share with her if it is hurting him. But he did any way. Because he wanted her to trust him and understand him. Because he trusts her. Today I feel, knowingly or unknowingly Rudra gave his heart to Paro ❤️.
Finally when he asks her to sing the song, I liked the hesitance in Paro. She knew the song gave him pain and that stopped her from blindly following his instructions 😛. The way he lies down in her lap, cries his heart out, holds on to Paro... OMG! My heart cried for Rudra today😔. That moment I could see that abandoned little boy, who till this day is craving for his mother's love and care... Today Paro was Rudra's Safe Haven ❤️.She was giving him strength to heal, to hope, to trust, to dream, to move on, to live and to love by just being there with him. Silently supporting him. truly, what a beautiful relationship these two share..😳
Mala... Nothing to say. I am disappointed when she admitted that she left her son and husband for Tejawat 👎🏼. As of now, I don't have any sympathy for her. But I wish and hope that there is more to her story and will wait till it all comes out.
I couldn't help but keep wondering what would happen to this beautifully growing relationship when Paro leaves Rudra for her promise...
Sanaya and Ashish...👏 Brilliant performances.
Something happens to me when posting in your thread Sush. I just end up writing and writing till I get a huge post. It is more like I enjoy posting here than writing...😆
Shweta... Lovely collages.
