Post lockdown episodes were written so well for RuSha. I really enjoyed it because it was unexpectedly well written. It was so good that I forgot about HOW horrible Rudraksh was to Prisha after they got married. The way he forcibly married her and also the attempt to rape on the "suhaagrat". I should never have forgotten it, no matter how cute Season 2 was.
The current track made me remember all that. Rudraksh Khurana. This guy is full of red flags. How DARE he insult her that way and use the choicest of words? How DARE he pull her hair? I've said this before and I'm saying it again. An Arnav Singh Raizada template of a hero with physical manhandling been portrayed as "angsty love" is NOT COOL.
There were literally so many other ways they could've executed this misunderstanding track but nope. The same ghisa-pita nonsense. This is setting an extremely bad example and is normalising abusive behaviour. When I was younger, I too thought that this ASR model of love is SO CUTE and I thought it's okay but it's not. If there are any women and girls here who think this is okay, please remember it's not okay.
There is no redemption for Rudrakash. There can't be.
