Bloody Hell I watched RR as it was advertised as an intense love story between 2 protagonists with opposing ideology and their journey of love I signed on for the story of Rudra and Paro not Rudra Paro and Pam Right now RR looks like it is the journey of a widower with a child and his second chance of finding love again This was not the original premise of RR and I feel right royally cheated If this is what the PH had all along been planning on showing then they should have had the guts to state the plot right at the outset Then I as a viewer had a choice to see or not Now I feel so disgusted over spending time watching a serial that was never true to the foundation

Pray tell how will a new modern Avatar of SI reel in the numbers I am sure the core audience will not accept a new love even if is SI essaying the role as the soulmate bit has been carved into the viewers thinking in stone I for one cannot digest seeing him running after the new her convincing her she is his wife nor do I want to see the new gal feeling sorry for him and trying to convert him to human again been there done that and I am not in a mood for part deux If this is their idea of intensity once again then they really have no clue over the USP of their product

I will also not accept this new avatar of SI if they show it as reincarnate of Paro just to shut us up if it is a 5 year leap logic takes a huge beating even in a soap serial as skewered as RR

If they show dialogues of Paro asking him to move on and find happiness again I am done with this serial Even the prospect of SI and AS again does not entice me I was attracted to the story and characters and I feel RR is now terribly tainted and I am so angry that they have made a mockery of me their viewer No amount of pleas and restraint from the creatives will change my mind If they had left her death scene nebulous I would have stuck on but showing her dead means they have decided to change the entire plot of RR to Rudra finding love again and if it means Rudra falling in love again I am so done with RR as this was not what it was about and please I am not bashing the actors I have the wisdom to know the difference

I really wish they had not shoved the soul mate song down our throats all the time and knowing their callousness probably they will use this when Rudra meets Pam

and for those who are unfamiliar with the term bait and switch is a business term and loosely it means enticing customers by advertising one product and then getting them to buy another If they are gambling on the fan base of both actors to stick on despite any drivel shown by them then good luck and hope it pays them dividends for this sensible viewer is not that gullible and has other fish to fry

FLG and right royally pissed one at that 😡

Totally agree. Rangrasiya is only Rudra and Paro, Shiva and Parvati. No reincarnation or strange girl looking like Paro. This is sick and twisted. Rangrasiya was not only promoted differently, but their story up until Friday was NOT built up like this just to be torn down in one stupid episode! Coward CVs, bowing down to TRP pressure from Colors. If I were ST, I'd show I have integrity and just tell Colors to shove it where the sun don't shine. I'd rather have no show than a butchered up show that is no longer proud to be on television.

I was not promised this, nor was I willing to watch it if it was supposed to be like this in the first place. I am sick to my stomach and so betrayed. I supported and defended RR even through its low points and this is what I get? Paro dead? Rudra a widower and their motherless child? Some other girl will come in who looks like Paro? I didn't sign up for this.

Am with you...feeling so cheated...they hardly gave us any Romance and now this...Love Confession just happened on June 20, and now Paro is dead! They made is believe in this eternal, pure ,divine love and have now reduced it to Rudra falling in love with a look alike! Beyond ridiculous...In this chase for Trps, they will loose their loyal fans too... Another show destroyed at the altar of Trps!

And Rudra was her Rakshak! How will he recover from having failed to protect her!

I'm done with this shot. We stuck with the show from day 1 even through the ridiculous plot lines but now I just feel betrayed. I regret ever investing myself in another show.

well then you are a true fan 😃 To me the show has just died this is not the RR I remember and if it is going to end soon then let them end on Rudra and paro I don't understand the need to bring SI in a new avatar You know this serial might have been different if they had shown 2 different women for then you the viewer know its a mature journey of love but bringing back SI in a new avatar beggars belief and yes makes the story of Rudra and Paro real shallow and superficial

Squivi what pisses me is the whole TRP chase they knew for months on nothing was working and should have studied which tracks brought them and stuck with that anyway colors is a channel that is struggling with the TVT and its not like RR is the only one doing bad BI MB and their highest BV does not rival any of the top 5 TRP pullers so finish off the original contract of 200 episodes they would have made something different like 24 desi version The trp for that was also not that high yet they stuck to the story theme and the channel could have made money from the repeat viewings on line even after the serial had ended Now I doubt many new viewers will want to see it in future unlike another show of SI which reels in numbers even today online and in other countries

If Paro dies in his arms as the pictures suggest, that's the end of RR as we know it. I think we all agree to that.
Who knows what they are up to And quite frankly I don't care a damn. If Paro's done, then RR loses its soul, no lookalike can fill that void.

Was trying to spread some positivity after seeing the state of the forum and members over the weekend, but looks like they r hell bent on testing patience.

I wonder if they realize that they will push away the last remaining core audience if this segment actually comes through as the spoilers hv been suggesting. But at this point, it's just that, a segment, the episode hasn't aired!

we got just 3 months I could have understood the desperate need for TRP say a year later or when actors are bored or want to leave so you bring in a twist now even if at some point in the future they try to show SI in the new avatar is Paro then what about her cremation Will that also be shown as a mockery of our senses
He failed to protect her and now I shudder to think when the new gal comes in 😡
