I see your point. I wrote this in another post, don't know if it is the acting, screenplay or the character of Mala itself which is ceasing to make an impact. Has the script been altered to create more sympathy for other characters. Can't say, but the placid demeanor of Mala is confusing. There is so much potential and complexity to her yet it is not coming out well. Maybe she is shell shocked with all the things happening in her life right now.
Hoping there will be a character development, no forgetting her Tejawat history and her story has some meat, as creatives are really making us wait for it.

I think we should stop projecting our own traits onto the characters in RR. We all may be strong minded women who can stand up for ourselves - Mala is not one of us.
She is a weak character by design, she has been manipulated by Mohini her whole life; she couldn't stand up for herself and her son when pushed out of the house by Dilsher; she left without her precious son and she did not have the guts to come back and demand her custody rights over Rudra, and she was completely manipulated by Tejawat for years! She really had no idea of his criminal/smuggling activities because she the kind of person who takes people at face value.
She pushes all the bad stuff to back of her mind, lives in the present and day dreams about happy times.
I strongly feel that with a grown-up Rudra back in her life, Mala will change. I think we will see character growth in Mala and Rudra will be the catalyst.
Everyone at the Ranawat haveli is badly in need of therapy, - family counseling, marriage counseling, personal counseling, you name it. They could keep several shrinks employed for years to come!!

And this is exactly why I don't want any reconciliation! Mala doesn't make any damn effort. How is he supposed to know you actually love her? How is he supposed to trust her?
And this is exactly why I hate that Paro is pushing Rudra to look for Mala, to not be rude to her, to talk to her, to give her a chance and blah blah. Rudra isn't at fault, Mala is. She has to show him why she deserves a second chance. She has to give him a reason to let her explain herself. And she isn't doing any of that!

I actually wanted to smack her head against the wall when she said maybe all this is her fault. What do you mean maybe? It is your fault that you chose not to fight for your son.

Well said especially the bold part.

Without knowing how the CV's are going to play the backstory ...I kinda think it will be something in which both dilsher and mala are to be blamed ( right now its more of only mala in rudra's mind ...) also its very important for rudra to make peace with mala and his childhood if he wishes to have a semblence of a life with paro .
However I somehow donot see dilsher and mala , reconciling ...thats not going to be a happy ending..


I agree, Dilsher and Mala are obviously villains to a degree in their own relationship- Mo can only manipulate those who aren't sure enough with eachother to begin with. Ad fuel to the fire.
I do think Rudra will make peace with his mother- that's bound to happen; I'm just wondering if it is only possible with someone else taking the initiative (Paro) (or Paro forcing Rudra) because I for some very odd reason cannot see it being Mala taking the first steps.

As for the last part, yeah they are probably not going to have a happily ever after- which is fine because that would be too weird for words IMO. 😆

Paro always had the fight in her. She wasn't always danda baisa; but she did fight in her own quiet way against Rudr when she thought he was wrong. She refused to bow , refused to sign those papers. She kept quiet because she knew that was his defeat. Where she got it from remains a mystery. Not from Mala, doesnt look like it so far. Definitely not from her Mamisa. Maybe from her mother who was the last remaining survivor in the bus massacre? Or maybe she imbibed the qualities of the godess she was named for. It's a saying in my culture that you should be careful naming your kids cos they imbibe the qualities of the name you give them. Looks like Paro's parents chose well.
As for Mala, yes she is confusing. She appears weak but in the flashbacks you see a woman who was gutsy enough to leave a bad marriage. Yes; she left her son behind. Yes, she didnt fighg for him. But maybe, just maybe , her reasons will be shown. CV sahab, are you listening?

Thanks 😊. I completely agree that there is something just missing I don't know what it is, if it's the script, or the character, or the acting but if there is an attempt at complexity it's just not coming across. As a viewer I'm just not able to read her as being a character that needs my sympathy- so much potential is being wasted. The character development in the future (or at least showing us the catalysts of the past- visually, not verbal accounts) can at least paint a picture, where as the script and expressions are failing to get that across right now. If the CVs are making us wait, I'm OK with it so long as I get tons of PaRud scenes as a consolation prize 😆😃

I don't agree it was a rant, it was more likely the opinion of most of the people watching the show with these contradications. Marla's character is confusing, she has been described as loving and caring human being but that's it. But one thing I don't understand is if a lady is willing to take such a big step like leaving the husband and his home, then surely she has to have a very strong traits in her character in order to do that, but judging from CVs characterization at present, Mala is a weak lady, straying from one place to another, where ever the wind blows.

I know, they really need to pick up her character from some angle, but I have no clue where and how they're going to do this. Maybe the back story will help but I guess we'll just have to wait and watch 🤔
