Wednesday 3rd September
Rohit carries a pic of himself and Myrah everywhere? And then claims he's not in love with her? Strange.
And he sleeps with a mask over his eyes ... that's a good idea, as his eyes are most non-expressive. Also that way he doesn't see Rudra's face ...
Rudra banna, if this is Myrah, and you've told her you will love Paro till the end of time, why does it matter to you when Myrah's fiance babbles on about his tourist plans for them over the next few days? And why are you gazing again and again at that picture?
Seems that Rudra is forgetting all his grand proclamations about loving Paro till his last breath ...
Myrah, on the other hand, remembers his words well ... also she sees Paro's clothes still in Rudra's cupboard ... after seven years ? She sees Paro's picture on the wall ... Paro is very much alive, very much there, in that room ... there is no place for anyone else in Rudra's heart. Or so she feels.
So Rohit's words make sense ... friendship is a good enough basis for marriage, and Rohit is her best friend, he really wants to marry her. Rudra doesn't ... he wants to live his life with his memories of Paro. So she might as well marry Rohit.
Next morning Myrah gets a phone call ... she has a khufiya meeting with some man who hands her some papers ... and says the paperwork is done, she can call him any time. Is this about Maithili adopting a baby?
Rudra is not in a happy frame of mind. Seems he had as restless a night as Myrah did ... when Myrah also says she didn't sleep well, Rudra snaps at her .. did he upset her sleeping arrangements?
Rudra banna needs to make up his mind ... on one hand, he tells Myrah that he doesn't want her love ... on the other hand, he behaves like a bear with a sore head when another guy says he does. Nothing like a little healthy jealousy to knock some sense into a man's head ... how much I wanted this for Paro :(
Myrah is surprised, as well she might be ... and incurably truthful, she snaps back that the reason she didn't sleep well wasn't because she was longing for Rohit, but because she was in Rudra's bed.
That silences Rudra for the moment. As does the sudden appearance of Rohit with a sneeze.
Breakfast for everyone ... Myrah introduces Rohit ... Koel is crushed at the appearance of Myrah's fiance ... and even more upset at the announcement of wedding plans. Everybody else is surprised ... including the groom ... what's Myrah's hurry?
This is going the KKHH way ...
Rudra breaks a cup ... and crushes the fragments in his hand. Very dramatic ... only no one sees it .. except for the confused viewers ... and we wonder, where did all the undying love for Paro disappear overnight? And when did this jealousy spring up?
Oh well, the show is ending in two weeks ... no time for slow, gradual development of love.
Rohit has NRIitis ... he has an allergy to something, he doesn't want parathas, he needs to stay fit, so he wants cereal .. to Mohini's delight ... till someone explains Rohit doesn't mean the saas bahu variety.
Rudra walks out ... he has to go to dance rehearsals, as his bodyguard job is coming to an end, with the announcement of Myrah's wedding.
Myrah is upset, but determined ... if she's decided to go ahead with the wedding, no point delaying it. Maithili jija is surprised and concerned for both Myrah and Rudra. She's another confused soul ... till yesterday, she was pushing Myrah away from Rudra, sure that a relationship between them would not work ... today she's upset that Myrah is marrying Rohit ...
Koel is more and more upset ... and goes running off to tell Dhruv.
Myrah Maithili talk ... Myrah says she will marry Rohit ... after all, that's what she came here to do. Falling in love with Rudra was a blip, it wasn't supposed to happen. She will always love Rudra, but Rudra will always love Paro. She's better off with Rohit.
If Rohit had been a nicer guy, I might have agreed.
Their talk interrupted by Dhruv's scream ... Koel just broke the news to him. And he's angry with Myrah because she's leaving ... he lost the game. Rudra is angry with Myrah, because she wasn't there with Dhruv ... and then is silenced when Dhruv's little heart breaks because Myrah is leaving.
Precap ... Myrah asks Rudra what she should do ... Rudra banna will be confused ... he never chased a woman in his life, they all chased him.

"Rudra banna will be confused ... he never chased a woman in his life, they all chased him." ROFL! Absolutely love your writing Dia - you have given words to our collective confusion brilliantly!!!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, as you have said, RR is sadly at the stage now where we only watch it for the actors - the story has gone for a toss and frankly speaking, it is getting progressively more difficult each day to remain interested in the "are Myra and Paro one and the same?" conundrum!
Btw, along with the impossible to believe love they are trying to show between Myra and Rudra, why didn't anybody correct Dhruv when he called Myra his Mommy? Everybody is seriously delusional in that haveli!!!!! :-((((
Didn't watch the episode yet. From the updates, looks like it was one confusing episode. Rudra doesn't know how to react. Myrah is confused. Maithili is confused. Only Koel and Dhruv seem to be the clear headed individuals here. They want Myrah as a part of their family. Full stop. Even Dhruv has forgotten that he has already lost the bet with Maithili. Myrah is not his mom. But then, the kids' confusion is far less confusing than the adults'. I am not getting a good impression about Rohit after reading a couple of posts in IF. The CVs have again shown the so-called NRI attitude of Rohit, right? Don't want to go there. If the TRP audience likes this kind of stereotype about NRIs, I will have to put up with it. In RR 1.0, Paro's character was assasinated. In RR 2.0, it is Rudra's turn. The CVs could have spared us from the 'eternal love' concept and dialogues. Were those dialogues used only for the purpose of making Myrah love Rudra? I honestly don't know what kind of pressure, the CVs are under. But I am sure, they could have done RR 2.0 a lot better than this.
ReplyDeleteDia: About your previous post's comment. Like you, I am getting a feeling that Myrah is not Paro. I don't see any differences between her and Paro. But the CVs are concentrating more on the love triangle part. If she was Paro, I would have expected the CVs to concentrate on bringing back Myrah's memories about her Past life. But except for the few slip-ups like 'Major Saab' and the tip-toe kiss, there is no solid proof that Myrah could be Paro. The characteristics are similar. But that could be just a simple coincidence. The last three weeks of the show seem to be much slower than the usual days.
And ladies... where are you? I am the only one, who is eating Dia's dimaag!!!

Looks like Raghuvir Shekawat (dialogue writer) has replied to someone in facebook about Myrah not being Paro. Couldn't find any links in IF, confirming the same. :( :(
ReplyDeletePerverts ! :X :X
That is such sad news.
Deleteugh...if Paro is not myrah, why drop all the fake hints, why even put the doubt in anyones mind? and if the show was getting cancelled why even kill our lovely Paro. Textbook case of how too RUIN a beautiful love story,
ReplyDeleteugh! again
Kiran
It is getting difficult to make sense of the story these days... Also believe CVs are going Myrah is Myrah way :(( .... So why were we fed Rudra's dialogues about his eternal love for Paro? So he could quickly fall for M? And the differences he quoted.....seems
ReplyDeleteIke he either forgot or didn't even know his Paro! It's painful to watch frankly...
Yes, it's like they dont even respect their own work....sorry that's a bit harsh
DeleteKiran
Not harsh at all, I think it's a fact. They can junk a seven month old story of raqth, reth, soul mates and the works for this fluff which makes no sense at all, then they obviously don't have any respect or conviction in their own creations. And it's not like the new story is getting fantastic TRPs either.
DeleteJust watching till the end for Sanaya now, and then I will be quite happy to take a break as well.
I hope the news is not true. I happened to read a couple of posts in IF about RS' reply to a fan's question. Also, there is no proof if RS had replied like that. Seriously, the last 3 weeks of RR are painfully slower. I guess this will be the last Indian show I would watch. Even if I want to watch a new show, I will wait till 6 months to see if the show goes off-air or not and then decide to watch. Sigh.... what a waste of time!!!
ReplyDelete- Madhumitha
Alternatively, you could watch the first three months when these shows are at their best..............you could choose to stop watching it the moment you begin to feel that the story telling has begun to drift. For as long the TRPs rule the entertainment roost, I don't think we will get a soap that will remain consistently watchable from beginning to end." #such is life" as they say. ;)
