31/1 - Epi 25 ... Pride and Prejudice

Friday 31st Jan

He thinks she is guilty .. she knows all about the gun smuggling, and he will make her confess it, come what may. Besides, he's smarting ... his pride just got rubbed in the dirt, with the failure to collect even a shred of evidence against the Thakur. A slip of a girl ... and he can't get the better of her?!

She thinks he, and with him, the entire BSD, are guilty ... they killed her parents, her sister-like friend, Bindi, and now he killed her husband ... she will never forgive him. Besides, she's angry ... he made a fool of her ... gave her the bait of freedom, allowed her to return home ... only to try to trap both her and her mother-like Maami-sa. She will never allow him to defeat her or cow her down ... she will fight!

Both mired in their long-standing prejudice ... both smarting with hurt pride.

Good Parud scene to start off the episode. Sanaya was brilliant ... Paro's voice was soft, her face, her eyes scared, but her tone determined. Paro doesn't need to shout or rant or even speak loudly, to make her point. She's scared, but she will take the fight to the lion's den. 

The roti making scene between Dilsher and Paro was very sweet .. the gruff, bitter man, who doesn't want to accept any help which might indicate his helplessness at his disability ... he salvages his pride by saying a woman makes better chapatis than a man because she's genetically engineered that way. :)
He wonders why Paro came back ... Paro remembers Rudra's threat of burning her village if she did anything to herself ... she had no choice. She can't betray her village ... and she can't take her own life.
Dilsher tells her to eat ... Paro tears up at the first hint of kindness she has seen in days.
Dilsher asks her what if someone from her village comes looking for her? Paro can't tell him that's not going to happen.

Rudra gets told off in no uncertain terms by his CO. Get some proof ... or else.
Aman is not allowed to call Paro by name. Better to keep her a nameless entity.

Mohini kaaki is still ranting ... even a smidgeon of prasad is accompanied by free-flowing insults ... she is completely insecure about her carefully built up business being taken over ... or worse, ruined.

Paro vows that she will not shed any more tears.
She asks for a sign from Bholenath that she's doing the right thing by staying and fighting Rudra ... Dilsher brings her the aarti ka prasad ... sign received and understood.

Rudra comes home, still smarting from his ticking off ... he likes the rotis ... taunts his father about eating the rotis made by 'that woman' ... gets taunted right back, they weren't made by 'that woman', they were made by 'the girl'. And a muft ka suggestion ... 'she makes good food, why don't you marry her?' 
Chalo, sasurji has given his blessing to the union. She won his approval the moment she called Rudra 'jallad' ... obviously she is a good judge of character!

Precap ... Rudra's plan of sending Paro to Birpur was a disaster in more ways than one ... Paro was seen on the bus heading to Chandangarh. So Thakursa is on the way. Fortunately, so is the Thakurain.

  1. Hi Dia!!! Apt title for the episode and a nice take too. I can't agree more than what you said regarding PaRud scenes and especially Sanaya in that scene. She nailed it. I'm so glad that she's playing as Paro.Not even a simple gesture of out of place..her Voice, body language and the determination of Paro to face Jallad...Excellent performance. Also Dilsher is slowly takingscreen space and it's heartening to see his bond with Paro. I saw the new promo, he declares Paro as his DIL in front of family.... Thakurain is shocked by mentioning of Chandanghad...more actions and twists are awaited for the week to follow it seems... Now it's a wholesome entertainment , a complete package. Only a slight improvement in trps this week. Hope it improves even better. I sure it will improve.
    Have a wonderful weekend Ladies:)

    1. Hi Lakshmi,
      PaRud scenes are really good ... and what I like about them is that both parties are justified in their stands ... the makers took the time to build up the backgrounds of both, so one can understand where they are coming from. Rudra of course is angry and feeling humiliated, but Paro is slowly finding herself too ... emerging from the timid shell, where she never had to fight for herself, because she always had someone to do it for her ... to now, where she dares to take a stand for the first time in her life.
      Sanaya is amazing ... she has gotten completely into the skin of Paro now, and is playing her beautifully. Paro will evolve slowly ... and we can see the changes slowly starting ... this will be good to watch, especially with Sanaya in an author-backed role for the first time. I'm really looking forward to it!

      I am really happy with the way they're showing Dilsher ... so Paro will have strong support in the Ranawat madhouse! For once, both the men are not pieces of furniture, they have tongues and use them! I like the family so far, well balanced between positive and negative ... this is getting more and more interesting! Hope the TRPs pick up with the family drama starting.

  4. Excited to see the new turn that Paro has taken. Just hoping the writers balance Paro's quiet demeanour with her new found courage well. PaRud scenes are always such a pleasure to watch.

    Did not expect Thakhur to find out about Paro so soon, it is getting interesting. The new promo was something!!
