1/9 - Epi 175 ... The First Difference

Monday 1st September

I've said it before, and I say it again ... the actors make this show worth watching. I'm veering around to a Myrah Rudra ending ... I will just assume RR 2.0 is a completely new story about a widower with a son, and a girl who brings happiness back into his life.
Although the jury is still out as to whether Myrah is Paro or not. Maybe Rohit will bring some clues.

So Samrat and Maithili enjoy a romantic candlelit dinner for two ... Chinese food eaten in very dehati Rajasthani way, with the fingers ... but what the heck, they both enjoy it.

Until Mohini remembers that kabhi voh bhi saas thi ... and returns to her taunting avatar .. seriously KCM, interrupting a private dinner of a long married couple on their anniversary ... she needs a lesson in basic manners and how to respect other people's privacy.
So Mohini returns to her original taunts of, how can this beendni enjoy happy married life, when she hasn't fulfilled basic duties of producing children ... she needs to make achar for the rest of her days ... If she can't be a mother, she has no need to be a wife either.
Someone needs to tell Mohini to stuff it ... Ah good, Myrah is here to do the job.

So first Myrah ticks off Mohini for talking to Maithili and Samrat so rudely, she's a servant after all ... Mohini finally tells her the truth ... that she's Maithili's MIL, and the lady of the house, and should be respected ... after ll, who is Myrah to tell her anything?

That doesn't stop Myrah ... She will talk, because she is Maithili's younger sister ...
Maithili looks up at that one ... reminded of another fierce younger sister, who always took her side?
Myrah goes on ... so Mohini agreed to be a servant for money ... and then she talks about respect?!

Mohini not amused ... how dare she interfere ... and raises a hand to slap Myrah ... stopped by Rudra. Mohini reminds him, this is not Parvati ... Parvati is never coming back.
Rudra knows she is not Paro, but he won't allow any badtameezi around him.
(SN - only Rudra is allowed to do badtameezi ... no one else)

Myrah tells Samrat to take Maithili out on a date instead ... and they agree happily. Myrah wonders to Rudra why they didn't ever think of adoption ...
They did ... and so did another girl ... for them. Paro.

Surprisingly Rudra doesn't point that out ... nor does the memory seem to disturb him much.
Does Rudra know something ... did he see something in that videocam?

Myrah tells Rudra she's not planning to thank him ... she could have saved herself, he didn't need to interfere.
Rudra most uncharacteristically agrees ... yes, he know ... she can save herself. That's Difference No 1 ... she can take care of herself. The task she had given him to earn her forgiveness ... three differences between her and Paro .. he found the first one.

Is it really a difference? Paro managed to take care of herself many times, stand up for herself against Rudra, against Tejawat, against the goons ... but she loved giving Rudra the role of protector, and he loved taking on that role.  The difference here is more that Myrah doesn't acknowledge she needs protection. And Rudra didn't remark on the similarity in thought ... adoption.

Rudra is very calm ...yes, Myrah didn't need his help, he didn't step in to help her, but to help KCM ... Myrah in a temper could have done her some serious damage.
Myrah is impressed ... Rudra and joke?!

More similarities between Myrah and Paro ... the ability to bring a smile on Rudra's face ... and also the ability to stand up for Maithili.

Myrah and kids ... Myrah tells them a new version of the Sleeping Beauty ... the prince woke up the princess all right, but she wanted to sleep more ... so they fought, he stayed back, and she went off on his horse to roam the world.
Koel not happy with this 'happy ending' ... how can the princess stay alone?
Myrah says sometimes the princess can be alone ... but she can still be happy.
Message to Rudra ... she's not doing the running ... she will leave. Message received ... over.

Next morning, Samrat finally has a long talk with Mohini ... we can't have kids, it hurts us too, but we have accepted it. There are two kids in this house now, it's ok if we don't have our own ... please stop taunting Maithili about children now, enough.

Myrah teases Maithili about her 'date' ... mandir?! Not impressed! But Maithili is happy.
Myrah asks Maithili ... have you never thought about adoption?
Maithili stops in her tracks ...yes, they did, and so did another girl ... for them.

Dhruv throws tantrum for medicine ...
Myrah to the rescue again ... okay, the kid's expressions during the Statue were really cute!!
Rudra says thanks to Myrah ...

Shatabdi wants everyone to taste her achar ... Mohini is entering the same competition ...
Rudra warns Myrah ... it's spicy.
That would be Difference No 2 ... coming up tomorrow.

Also coming up tomorrow ... Rohit. And from the looks of it, Rudra doesn't like Myrah tripping and falling into anybody else's arms other than his own.

  1. At home. Watched the episode on time. Feels good to have not read the written updates first and then watch the episode. Over to the show...

    @Quote: Until Mohini remembers that kabhi voh bhi saas thi ... and returns to her taunting avatar .. seriously KCM, interrupting a private dinner of a long married couple on their anniversary ... she needs a lesson in basic manners and how to respect other people's privacy........ Dia, if Samrat and Maithili had had little privacy in the last 12 years, they could have had 3 kids for sure. :D Rudra was smart enough to take his wife outside for the Suhaag Raat. Privacy is an elusive thing for all the couples in Ranawat haveli. Teh only exception should be Sumer and Shathabdhi. Jokes apart, Kakisa was back to being her old self.

    Another point to be noted. Myrah doesn't need others' help to safeguard herself. Really?? If my memory is intact, I remember her struggling to relieve herself from the two kidnappers. She was hiding her fears, but she was scared. And Rudra (and the CVs) conveniently forgot the two occasions when Paro rescued herself. True, Rudra was needed at crucial times. Like the second time, they met. He saved Paro from those rogues. Ok. I am not going to analyze too much here. The first difference is not a difference at all in my POV. Both Paro and Myrah are capable of saving themselves, except a few times when they needed Rudra. And in those situations, only he could have saved them. End of story.

    About the precap.... Like you Dia, I am bracing myself for a Rudra - Myrah ending. May be Rohit is bringing us some clues about Myrah.

    Read this random comment in a website about SI not working anymore. Sometime back, she said that she might quit acting. But I never thought that could be true. Anyone knows anything about it?

  2. Dia: Since I am free today, I thought I will go back to your older posts from February. Especially the one episode, where KCM raises her hand on Paro. Those days I didn't know about your blog. So, I was naturally curious about your analysis for that particular episode. Also the comments for that. Man, how far we have come from the original story! You had written about how both Rudra and Paro were wrong about certain things. And yet, they were trying to reach out to each other in difficult times. I am quoting your words here. Rudra the protector and Paro the nurturer. That is how they are meant to be. And how their connection goes deeper than mere physical attraction. I would give anything to know the original script. Wish RR had been aired by a different channel. Alas.... Ab gayi basanti paani mein. Kya kar sakte hain??
