3/2 - Epi 26 ... Farewell, red lenhga!

Monday 3rd February

The most momentous event of the day ... Paro sheds her red lehnga!

Ranawat Sr expands on his proposal to Rudra ... marry Paro, you killed her husband and brought her here. Rudra asks him if he's gone mad ... after all, it was from him that Rudra learned not to trust a beautiful woman. And leaves ... leaving Ranawat Sr deep in thought.
But Rudra actually listened to his dad's entire argument.

The first Parud scene ... Paro continues to hold her own, Rudra still smarting in defeat, can't help taunting her about her decision to return and her challenge ... she stays calm and stoic, despite her still visible trepidation. And that refusal to be scared of him, that annoys Rudra the most ... she should be scared of him, he's trying his best that she be scared of him, how is she holding up against him?!
I like the way Paro stoically accepts her fate ... same room, okay ... can you give me some clothes please? And reminds him that she is now a widow, thanks to him.
That always gets Rudra annoyed!
Rudra just cannot be his worst any more with Paro, despite trying very hard to be.

Thakur tries his best to convince Thalurain that the news is false, Paro baisa is dead. Thakurain is not happy to be convinced. She wants Thakur to do something ... anything ... and get Paro back.
Thakur is going to be in a jam on this one.

The sweetest scene of the day ... Ranawat Sr comes in coughing, looking for his pump, Paro finally changed, but still very unsure and selfconscious in the blue over-sized kurta and pants, rushes to find it and gives it to him. He recovers from his coughing fit, notices her changed attire for the first time, looks at it, she looks down ... he gives the most fleeting of smiles and tells her to sleep ... and leaves. Not a word about her change of clothes.
And that's all the reassurance she needs.
Beautifully played by both actors!!!! Am loving this bahu-sasurji pair!

Paro backs, trips and falls on her make-shift bed ... sees herself in the warped mirror ... and smiles. A genuine happy sweet smile ... for the first time in days, all is well, as well as it can possibly be under the circumstances ... Rudra is gone, her hands are no longer tied, she has a roof over her head, a bed to sleep in and clean clothes, a full stomach, no one yelling at her in anger, she even has a sympathiser, Rudra's babusa ... there is much to be thankful for. And she didn't get cowed down by Rudra ... she asked for what she wanted, and got it - fresh clothes. She's holding her own in the challenge.

Mohini kaaki rues the fact that her older son is more like his father, despite all her attempts. And the taunts are about a lack of heir ... of course. Sumer is desperate to sell the haveli, and go to the big city.

Rudra is such an idiot ... he actually asks Laila for clothes for Paro?! Size difference nahin dekha?
Laila baisa is vamp ... bas! And a pretty vicious one at that. And she can't keep her hands off Rudra.

Precap - new entry. And the family is complete.
