Do you know how bloody excited I am?
OH MY GOD. HOLD THE HAIR BHAISAS TODAYS EPISODE HIT EVERY NAIL IN THE COFFIN. please. CREATIVES. YOU OH MY GOD.
I know you've heard me rattle on a whole load for the past couple of days but I implore you do read me on this one.
okay wait-- before I get a bit too excited and go crazy allow me to highlight all the ridiculously amazing symbolisms. I will do it in order:
When Maithili was about to fall Rudra was there:
I don't know about you but nothing screams "I'll be there to hold you steady " like this does, when it happened at the end I was rolling on my mattress clapping my hands. If anything this strengthens the image of Rudra, he is known to be the one who fixes everything even when he is so torn apart himself , and today this representation couldn't be any better, the dude is practically destroyed and war torn between his parents yet he manages to control it-- the fall, Maithili holding her hand out to steady herself, Rudra appearing. I AM CLAPPING.
Rudra bent down several times in the episode:
He bent down to speak to Maithili and then to hear Paro, something about this is so beautiful. Maybe its because he is always choking on his pride which then translates into anger that we would never imagine him bending down for anyone (let alone his bhabi-saa who he all but hated several months ago) he is trying to understand them by coming down to their level? You get me on this one right? He tried to comfort Maithili without actually touching her (HE RESPECTS HER) AND the focus was Paro (well it's obviously gonna be her because she has a sociopath after her but it just strengthens the symbolism of her (I shall come back to this))He bent down for Paro but we all know that he would bend backwards for her to the point of snapping if needed be.
Rudra lit the diya that was extinguished by the stalker, he lit it after Paro:
This is so heart-warming it actually hurts. To think a man who hated the sight of women is actually going after her and fixing what went wrong? Doesn't your heart just melt into a puddle after watching that?? This could mean several things
He lit it after Paro: He will always be there to fix things that she has done-- not necessarily ruined by her, but he will help her, aid her and fix it. Relight the blown out candles, close the windows after her, switch off the light bulb. You follow yes?
He lit it after the crazy sociopath extinguished it: HE WILL ALWAYS PROTECT HER FROM EVEYTHING BE IT HERSELF EVEN. That needed to be said in capitals because we've known this from the beginning but the CV's reiterate this statement so well it makes my heart sing.
And this final thing: He will always light their relationship, if he is burned at the stake of the candle so be it. He will fill their life with love and light and everything bright, he will never wish for it to be dark, fill her with light, fill him with light, fill THEM with light. Light is such a powerful symbol did you know that? OH OH and this just came to me: in their dark time (which is right now) he will light everything up, he will fix everything.
AKHFAKHF. I am genuinely finding it hard to contain myself I loved this episode so much.
And lastly- Paro:
She in her own element is a symbol, she has acted as his anchor and now she is strengthening his relationships with others be it his sister-in-law or his mother, she is not changing him she is strengthening what is in him, bringing out all the good. Parvati is one of the best things the CV's have because it literally is "tumse hi" with Paro and noone can convince me otherwise.
Mala:
did a lot of face-twitching I really want to suggest she is in it on this whole stalker thing but I'm going to leave it for now.
Stalker:
He has reached as far as their bedroom- overstepping any personal boundary, any limit, the propensity of his entire being wouldn't suggest he start small but there is something so scary about knowing someone has reached as far as your bedroom, as close as your wife-- LITERALLY A BREATH AWAY. This means that this stalker will have such a strong impact on their relationship (not that he wouldn't) but that fact that he went in (or got someone to *cough Mala *cough* 😆) to go in and get it for him and that too so quickly can only mean his influence on their relationship will be close to kinda instant.
IM SO EXCITED.
Rang Rasiya is being the dark self it promised it would be and damn am I counting down the hours till the next episode (Something I haven't done since Humsafar)
PLEASE TELL ME YOUR FEELS BHAISAS and any other symbolisms you noticed.
p.s: mind the typos I was too excited! Had to post instantly.
