4/9 - Epi 178 ... Sorting Out

Thursday 4th September

Myrah seems to be on a mission to sort out all the Ranawat troubles before she leaves the haveli.

First, Myrah speaks to Dhruv about not being his mother ... Dhruv throws a major tantrum, but Myrah handles him. Calmly, firmly, answering all his questions, but making it clear that this can't change. And she softens the blow by telling him he can message her any time and she'll be there for him ... even after she gets married and goes away. And he's not alone ... he has an entire family to love him ... and a father who gives him the love of a father and a mother both.

Always said that the only person who can convince Dhruv that she is not his mother, is Myrah. And that too, with straight talking. Rudra and Maithili were going about it all the wrong way.
Rudra listens to the conversation ... probably realising he's been a bit of an ass in the way he dealt with this entire matter. But also realising that Myrah is going to go away very soon. Hence when he sees Myrah again, he's like a bear with a sore head.

Myrah Rudra ... Rudra is angry she's getting married in ten days, she's doing it for revenge ... Myrah can't quite figure out why revenge ... isn't this what he wanted?
Neither can we figure out why Rudra is so angry ... after all his speeches about loving Paro till his dying day, why is he so hassled that Myrah is getting married? And revenge? Rudra really needs to get out of the mindset that the entire world revolves around him
CVs made such a big booboo the way they handled this track.

One more rinse and repeat of a PaRud moment  ... Myrah bandages Rudra's hand with a hanky. And asks him straight out ... why is he angry, and if he doesn't think this is right, what is the right thing for her to do?

Rudra doesn't answer ... I did predict this yesterday. The guy can't take a decision to save his life. He can only grouch and bluster and fume.
And when Myrah gives up on him and stalks off, Rudra stares after her ... 'what should I tell you? I don't even know myself.'  

If they had enough time, and the track had been written better, it could have been a nice track ... there are lots of emotions involved.
It must feel like a betrayal for Rudra ... to acknowledge that he could have developed feelings for another woman. A betrayal of Paro,the girl who loved him so much, the woman he loved so passionately, the mother of his child ... she died because of his mistake ... how can he move on and find happiness with someone else? He doesn't deserve to be happy, he doesn't even deserve to be alive ... when Paro is dead. How can he move on, how can he love again? He owes Paro his love, his undying loyalty ...

But life doesn't work that way ... his love for Paro will never fade, never lessen ... but with time, the sorrow and grief will be recede ... he should look back on Paro and her memories, not with guilt and sorrow and tears, but with smiles. Moving on with Myrah is not a betrayal of his love for Paro ... or it shouldn't be. But it will take him a long while to accept that.

However after the long speeches he gave Myrah on how much he loved Paro, and would love her until his dying day, he's in a bit of a jam ... how to rewind and tell her he really didn't mean all that, and he finds himself falling for Myrah? Will Myrah even believe him? And with the stark resemblance to Paro, she can't be blamed either. He has his job cut out to convince her.
Honestly, Rudra needed this ... he needed a woman to give him the cold shoulder ... he's had it far too easy every time. Time he did the running for once.

Shatabdi, Sumer and Mohini squabble about money, Rohit, rent and such stuff ... Mohini tries to swipe the recipe book, but Shatabdi catches her.

We will get more and more of these filler scenes as the team rushes to complete the shoot.

Myrah -Rohit ... Rohit wonders at the change in Myrah, she was with Dhruv? She doesn't even like kids!
Myrah says, yes, but its Dhruv. As though that explains everything.
And she even defends Rudra ... he's not khadoos, he's been through a lot. 
So has Rohit ... major sinus issues, allergies etc ... Myrah not amused ... everything is not a joke, get serious.
She leaves with her envelope, leaving Rohit wondering ... when did Myrah get so serious?! 
So two major changes in Myrah since she has been here.

Samrat tells Rudra to come with him to Pushkar for a few days. Rudra figures out it's Maithili's way of getting him away and sparing him some pain. Rudra refuses ... Samrat knew he would.
Rudra tells Maithili he can handle the situation ... Maithili was actually more worried about Dhruv. But listening to Rudra, she realises he was talking about himself, Dhruv didn't figure in his thoughts at all.

It won't be too long before Maithili figures out that Myrah's feelings for Rudra are not as one-sided as she and Myrah think they are.

Another filler scene as Sumer wants money from Mohini as Rudra won't allow him to take rent. Mohini bribes him to get her Shatabdi's pickle recipe book.

Myrah confronts Samrat and Maithili ... here is the paperwork ... go ahead and start the process of becoming parents. Adopt a child.
Maithili finally discloses that Parvati tried to do the same thing so many years ago ... support them to adopt a baby. But KCM refused.
Myrah doesn't know what happened so many years ago ... but today Samrat is independent, successful ... he can take his own decisions.
And Samrat decides he will do exactly that.
