I re-read your lovely post! Really needed to re-energize myself with some positivity. Totally loved what you've written here. The connect with Paro is already there...unknowing, unsaid, unstated, unspoken...only heart felt. That's the beauty of the way Paro has been written. And the facade you mention will probably be kept hidden for sometime. The cast members incl Sanaya also are told that it will be a new girl - a look alike. And the suspense and anxiety will build, till they finally reveal she is none but Rudra's Paro - our Paro.This sham buzz in most probability is only an attempt to show that the connect is already there...albiet subliminally!!!
To give us that realisation that there is an unmatched bond that we share with her...we know her POV equally as Rudra which is gushing out through people's posts here... They are trying to justify that ," u realise somebody's importance only when you lose them or confront the fear of losing them"... And we all have understood this now...
This sham death sequence buzz has managed to recharge and galvanize a humdrum audience...
