Tuesday 22nd April
Rudra is Paro's firewall. He was always her protector, he had dropped the role in the middle of all the wedding drama ... but after she saved his job, and the few pithy remarks from Damyanti-ji, he's picked it up again.
He first saves Paro from the consequences of her own unthinking panic ... with no harsh remarks for her, but only for the watching onlookers. He reassures her that he is there while she changes ...
He notices that she has no clue about how to serve tea in the fancy tea set ... so he pours for her, showing her how it's done ... and saving her from embarrassment in front of the Singhs. And he tells them frankly that she doesn't know how this is done. She follows his every move carefully. Paro is a fast learner ... next time, she'll do it herself.
He wants to save her from the hurtful words of more sophisticated ladies, so he warns her to stay back in the room ... but awkwardly ... not like the way he wanted her to stay back in Chandangarh. This time, it's really for her sake more than his own.
And when Gitanjali wants them to dance, he takes over, urging her to let him show her the way, let him lead, surrender to him ... trust him to show her the way, while protecting her from taunts and embarrassment.
For a man who withholds his own trust, this is a big deal.
And she does. She surrenders to him completely, lets him show her the way. In a world that is completely new and unknown, she lets him take her by the hand, and lead her from her own small world into the bigger realm of his.
I liked the little interactions between Paro and Gitanjali ... the latter, a lady with a heart under the polished exterior, who sees and appreciates Paro's innocence and inner beauty, and helps make sure that Paro will fit into this new world of Rudra's. Liked the way the two ladies exchanged notes about their birth places ... which probably gave Gitanjali Singh the idea that Paro was as unpolished as she had probably once been, and would need help to fit in among the rest of the guests. And liked the way Paro makes her own brand of gift for Gitanjali.

First of, Congratulations Dia on reaching another milestone with your blog - its thanks to your warm and insightful writing that has us all hooked to regularly visiting your 'cafe' :-)).
ReplyDeleteOn to RR....um, er......just a silly question (Groan, again?!?!) - where exactly did Majorsa learn the niceties of social life? Ballroom dancing? not Laila, is it?
I am amused.
Speaking of which, where is Shwetha?
Thank you, Aki baisa *embarrassed smile* ... it is all you girls who make this blog such a great place to be in! *HUGS*
DeleteMajor sa has hidden talents, Aki :)
I can gloss over that for the sheer pleasure of watching two good looking people dance so gracefully together ... the dance was a visual delight! Really wish Colors had promoted it more.
Aki I am here only, watching the show and missing Mohini way too much.
ReplyDeleteDia baisa....Badhiya analysis. Aabhar.
For Sanz next show I want her paired opposite Padam Bhola aka Aman.
Bas bol diya!!!
Thank you, Shwetha baisa :)
DeleteAman is such a cutie pie!!! Noooo ... I want him as her brother wonly!!! I want her to be a spoiled brat with two doting brothers ... Padam Bhola and apna NK!
Or maybe NK can be the third of a triangle ... I always felt that was a side left unexplored, and KG is a good enough actor to do the role.
For her next show, I want Sanz back on SP, with a good non-controversial producer like Mittals or Rajan Shahi, or even Ekta, a script which is really well written, and a decent leading man ... Ashish chalega, as long as he doesn't go OTT, I am happy with him after last night because boy, the guy can dance!!! But he has to shave. His biggest plus point is that he is as dedicated and hard working, and as professional as Sanaya is.
Or any other actor with the same qualities bhi chalega ... is it so tough to find a good, hard working, talented and down to earth actor in the TV industry? And when I say 'down to earth', I don't mean BS's brand of down to earth ... I mean Ashish's brand.
Girls, I am in Dubai visiting friends, so will be erratic online the next few days. Am making tonight's post early, as I don't know when I will get time to watch the episode.
ReplyDeleteDia, Have a good time with your friends:)
DeleteCONGRATULATIONS ON ANOTHER MILESTONE!
ReplyDeletehave a wonderful trip dia!
