3 weeks! 15 episodes! And now I am at the end of my patience!!  This is NOT about the game plan NOW that Ashish is not available! Yesterday was only the tip of the iceberg! The real issue is about the way Paro is slowly not being given ANY proper screen time OR any introspection! 

And yesterday just highlighted how far they have neglected Paro and her sufferings/feelings everything!!

People say she is silent/docile/gentle n there is nothing to show!

But why r they not showing what she thinks, her missing her home, her mamisa, her thakurainmasam her bindi who she lost barely 2 weeks ago! CVs r utterly disappointing me with the way they r going!

I did not sign up to see this show AND they did NOT sell this to us, they said it was the journey of a young girl and I hardly see that in the show that is on right now! And i am one disappointed viewer!

So, Paro is a weak character? Apparently, someone with a quiet resolve is weak. And one who throws a hissy fit at every encounter with the male lead... but turns into an all accepting one after tying the knot isn't. I guess the 'strong' characters are so stereotypical on desi tv, we hardly recognize the ones that don't fit the bill.

I do agree with Jaya's post. Rudra's character and every nitty gritty reason to validate his behaviour has been laid out in detail. But there is hardly any insight into Paro's character. I personally watch the show as a whole. Paro's side of the story has not been explored, if at all. Does she lament her current state? Does she not have an iota of doubt that Rudra may be right? From the looks of it, it seems she's blocking things out and will blow up like a volcano eventually.

Coming to the oft compared show. The TRPs were quite stable when the male lead was missing. And took a plunge after the infamous homecoming. The TRP women like to watch a woman's journey. Stagnate the character development of the woman and people start to give it a miss.

Well, Paro is the most positive character and it is in the creatives hands how the FBs and monologues are shown and they need not be depressing. Even in depths of despair the most touching scenes were when Paro looks her reflection in the funny mirror and smiles. Paro thinking about where her life is heading and reflect on Rudra does not entail copious tears or sadness. Infact lately Rudra had more breakdowns than Paro.

KCM is fun in doses, but a week full of her zingers would be tough to take and with Rudra gone she will be nagging her DIL, taunt Dilsher or snap at Sumer.

Nice suggestion Sunara. They have a good story where there are many angles to be shown, instead of introducing new characters. The main story is good enough to carry on, even without the male lead. 

Totally agree with u , cvs is not doing justice with paro character , at least they can give her more screen space and some powerful dialogues

As I have said...I am all for Watching Paros monologues or conversations with her favorite God Shankar, and with other characters as well...

 

I just disagree with any implication that she is being somehow neglected...and some sort of injustice is being done...

 

Regarding sadness...sadness does not always have to be expressed with tears...people can be silently sad and there could be a silent but heavy mood...

 

I do want RR to be more fun and not miserable...so if the FBs about her life that she lost can be done without the heaviness...I am all for it...

 

And lastly I really dont like lead hero vs. lead heroine comparison...in terms of how much attention one is getting...and a sense of wrongdoing...I think that can lead to nothing good...

I agree with your post completely, and especially with the last part. TRP audience likes a strong supportive man, but they connect with the female lead of the show. Skip her journey and her emotions, and the audience will have no emotional connect to latch on to. 

If Paro is confused, SHOW her confusion. If she is in denial, SHOW her monologues, her inner battle. She fights with Rudra, that is her defense mechanism ... but she told Kaaki that she trusted Rudra more than she trusts Kaaki ... why? Show that thought process. 

As for Paro being a weak character, I guess the desi audience still equates strength with loud volume and dramatics ... quiet strength is an alien concept. Paro's world has been disrupted once when she was 6 years old, and now again fifteen years later. Most people barely struggle through when they are orphaned once ...  she has been orphaned twice. Yet  she is still holding strong and not collapsing in tears all the time, that too in a hostile environment with no one of her own around ... that is not the mark of a weak character. 

So right, Diya. Kaki was offering her freedom. What made her trust Rudra more? Ainvayi. A bit of thought process, perhaps a monologue with her chewing on the thought would have worked. We lament low TRPs. The show is all over the place. It has to be cohesive to get people to watch.

People had an issue when Paro cried for a week. We signed up for angst, and not mush. A show does not work on mush and 'hawt scenes'. The SO shows would be chart-toppers if that was the case. Most members on the forum simply loved the 'choodi romance'. But that did not help the numbers. Why? People want more light and comedic scenes, turn Sunehri to a clown so to speak. SO hope that does not happen.

I think they are just buying time ,that's all.

I totally agree! On one side where we have Rudra remembering his mother (whom he lost 15 yrs back) almost every other day, Paro is hardly shown reminiscing about all the people close to her whom she lost just a few days ago. Ok I understand that she mayn't want to show Rudra that she's weak, she may say that she has stopped thinking about her past, and she may leave whatever is happening round her to God but as a person she is bound to sometimes ponder to herself about her life! She must have some views, some ideas about what's happening and what should have happened. Its been quite a time now since we had had a Paro scene all to herself showing a glimpse of who she as a person is. A love story is a story of two people, and I'm starting to feel that I'm seeing much more of one person than another right now.
