15/8 - Epi 165 ... Perceptions

Friday 15th August

Paro tried to teach Rudra, that it was wrong to jump to conclusions, to think the worst of everyone, to be suspicious and doubtful of everyone. Everyone deserved a chance, there was always some good and some bad in everyone. Usually she was wrong in her judgements, though, as Rudra never lost any opportunity to point out to her.

Today Myrah gave Rudra a demonstration, that Paro was right. After all, if Paro had judged Rudra by her first impression of him, and never given herself a chance to see that there was more to him than a Jallad, then how could the PaRud love story ever have bloomed?

Myrah and Rudra got off on the wrong foot. But when Myrah saw her mistakes, made mostly out of ignorance of facts ... she was quick to apologise. Rudra saw repeatedly that his first judgement of her might be wrong ... yet he stubbornly refused to change his mind about her.

And it's proved today ... the bells that Myrah hears ringing are Bholenath's way of telling her ... this time Rudra has to get his Paro back ... so you don't do the running. Stay away ... he will come and get you.
Myrah = Paro.

Rudra is falling for Myrah very quickly ... probably because the show is wrapping up soon. :( So why the heck did they kill off Paro then? Grrrr ...

Episode starts with some squabbling between Shatabdi and Mohini about the water issue ... Sumer slinks off, Maithili also annoyed ... Rudra joins in ... and of course, Myrah's room is the only one which has water ... and of course Myrah is having a bath there ... and of course Rudra needs to have a bath urgently ... considering the guy does nothing but stay at home, didn't see the urgency of the matter ... but oh well.

But before Rudra gets there ... Koel and Dhruv are up to their tricks ... they jump in from the window, with new clothes for Myrah ... Indian clothes, to make her look like Radha. Koel locks her cupboard for good measure ... so that Myrah has no choice.
Kids leave through the door, leaving it open ...

And Rudra decides he needs his shower ... enters, the door bangs shut and jams ... Myrah thinks he came in from the window, he protests he didn't ... the door is stuck ... in the tu tu main main, there is a trip, fall and catch ... and the bells ring again ... and Myrah pushes Rudra away.
The bells are definitely Paro's signal to Myrah to stay away from Rudra. Or else they're Bholenath's directive to Paro=Myrah ... stay away from him, he has to recognise you first before you two start getting too close.
I'd like to believe the second option, please.

Rudra with kids ... Dhruv and Koel push Rudra to become Krishna for one day. Koel has all her arguments in place ... and the clothes ready as well. This girl is a little fire cracker! Dhruv just follows her around like a lamb.

Pooja time ... and Mohini's phone calls explaines the absence of Danveer, Sumer and Samrat ... they're all at work.
Rudra has no such compulsions, since he is Myrah's bodyguard ... or not ... am not sure, that part was never satisfactorily cleared up. Anyway, he's at home ... all dressed up as Krishna. Supposedly. Never seena Krishna like him.
The kids looked adorable as Radha Krishna, though ... both looked very cute.
Shatabdi gets busy taking pictures ... Koel has more plans ... Kaka will now do ras leela. And here is his Radha ...

Myrah, looking simple and very pretty in a simple ghaghra choli ... and the adults are all dumbstruck ... is it Paro? Or Paro's ghost?
Myrah quite self-conscious, tries to explain ... the clothes were in her room, her cupboard was locked ... she had no choice ...
Maithili is frankly skeptical ... who would do such a thing?
Dhruv and Koel giggle ... they own up and let out their secret ... Myrah catches them ... so it was you? 

Maithili and Shatabdi want to scold the kids ... Rudra is just too dumbstruck at the resemblance ... Myrah stops them ... she's not angry, it's okay, and anyway it's nice to wear traditional clothes on Janamashtami.
Koel isn't done yet ... she wants Rudra kaka and Myrah to dance ... Myrah refuses ...

And that's enough to set Rudra off gain ... Myrah will only do a London thumakda type of dance, she won't know anything else ... especially about Radha Krishna and Janamashtami... because she's a spoiled brat, she's not Indian enough, just by wearing Indian clothes, she can't become Indian and sanskaari ...

Where did that Rudra go, the one who told Paro she could call him by name because he wasn't the traditional type?

So of course Myrah proves him wrong again ... by singing very traditional bhajan, and doing the pooja in traditional style ... Rudra simmers, Maithili doesn't look too happy either ...

Pooja completed, Myrah takes the opportunity to tell Rudra a few home truths ... again asking him how much does he really know her? Indianness is not in just the clothes ... which is why she doesn't bother whether she's wearing Indian clothes or not ... she's not born in India, she may not have struggles in life as much as he has ... is that her fault? And how Indian is it to judge somebody so completely, based on superficial things like appearances?

Myrah still doesn't know that Rudra is judging her based on appearances for a different reason ... she looks like Paro, but she isn't Paro, hence everything she does is wrong.

Koel finds something good in the whole thing ... at least everyone came to know Myrah is very Indian at heart.

Maithili is not happy at all. Even she has been guilty of misjudging Paro, based on her looks ... that speech applied to her as well.

Samrat - Maithili ... he's not sure why she is so disturbed. Maithili is worried Rudra is getting attracted to Myrah ... based on her looks?! And Myrah will get married and leave in ten days ... maybe they should get Rudra married again?
In ten days? Or before Myrah's wedding?
What did Maithili see in Rudra's eyes? Did she see an attraction for Myrah? Or for Paro?
Maithili feels that Rudra should get married again ... but to someone who doesn't remind him of Paro all the time.
Maithili, I agree.

And Rudra finally sees the truth in Myrah's words ... he has been misjudging her ... again and again ... based on that one first impression ... treating her like an enemy, just because of her face ...

So he manages to say an awkward sorry ... much to Myrah's great surprise.

  1. Looks like the only thing common between Myra and Paro is that both are good singers, Myra na gaayi 'manmohanaa' and hogayi Rudra ki 'taayi taayi phiss'...its good that she shut his mouth for good,kya class li Myra ne Rudra ki, he was getting way to judgmental about her and that too because of his insecurities, Myra is no angel I agree, but the way Rudra is treating her is so not done and its good that he realized it and apologized for that!!!

    And Koel tho sabki amma nikli, she is one deadly combination of her mother and granny. ;-))

    Maithili's convo with her hubby reminded me of your reply to a post yesterday Dia- she said the same thing that she does not feel Rudra-Myra equation is healthy for anybody, specially Rudra, because it will remind him about Paro 24/7 and will never be able to achieve any closure since Myra is a dead ringer for his wife.

    With the precap it looks like Myra is trying her hand in some Indian cooking and Rudra does not mind eating the burnt paratas after all he used to eating such burnt food when his dad used to feed him! Again CV's are shoving down our throat as to how different Myra is from Paro- while Paro was an excellent cook :-/ :-(

    I still have no idea where are the makers trying to show us? Well in a its good that I am clueless because that makes a interesting watch!!!!!!!!

  3. I too do not understand why they killed Paro to show us this track :( Either they could show some Myrah backstory and connect it to Paro to make it interesting, As Dia said, why not have Rudra realize she is the same Paro and woo her back, but I dont know what they are doing with the story. I dont feel any chemistry with Myrah and Rudra either.....is that intentional by the actors?
    By the way after seeing Kaaki sa and Rudra share some screentime today, I realized how much I miss there nok jhonks, the spicy one liners by Kaaki and Rudra's dad are surely missed :(

  4. Did anyone else notice Sanaya's voice more Paro like rather than Myrah like when she descended in the lehnga choli ? or was it just me over analyzing again :??

  6. Congratulations Ladies! It seems RR has won a reprieve as it is getting a new time slot? CVs already working on new story track plus fresh entries.

    1. Aki, let's hope the news is true ... still not sure. I hope it lasts till December, the term of the original contract. With their speed, I don't think they can stretch it any further than that.

      If we get new entries, it will mean an extension ... I think :)
