I was waiting for your post DR!😳 I loved the episode today. It was beautiful. Everyone was amazing but special shout out to Ashish especially for the last part of the episode! I had a wide grin on my face seeing Rudra smiling. It was absolutely adorable.
I don't know if you have the same thoughts as me but when he moved away from the mirror, he had flashbacks of hurting Paro and the pain, regret was so evident on his face. That was so well done by Ashish! But the best part for me was after remembering Aman's words, when he whispered Paro's name. I certainly felt goosebumps. You could actually feel his need, his love for Paro. As if he cannot live without her and needs her by his side every second. That moment will stay with me, always. There was another beautiful moment when he says "haath." I do not want to ruin that moment's beauty with words but it was absolutely beautiful!
What always melts me is Rudra's concern for Paro. He's always scared of hurting her. Even today when he asked if she was hurt and then later when she asked him to tighten his hold, he tells her she will be hurt, it was so cute. 😳
Hats off to Ashish for portraying Rudra's vulnerability, helplessness, his inner conflict, his feelings so effortlessly with such conviction. I totally connected with Rudra (always did) but today was just amazing!
