Excellent topic. Thank you for making it.
Ever since RR went off air this curiosity has been nagging me like anything. I am really interested in knowingte original RR story. I don't know why but I am pretty sure it was vastly different to what was shown eventually.
For one I think the original RR had a lot more angst and depth between rudra and his mom mala and it was all swept under and diluted due to trps stuff. The mala redemption was a whitewash done and dusted in a few minutes.
Likewise I think Parud were supposed to be separated following the shiv parvathi's parallel which never happened. No kidnapping by thakur or MU by laila.
Also Paros confession and their love story was rushed to please the TRP aunties. I have a feeling the Parud equation was supposed to be a lot more dark and intense I.e during the time of her capture and interrogation buti guess the makers got cold feet and sobered it down.
Thakur and laila characters started of soo strong I am sure they had a lot more important role than they were given.
Also the mala disher issue.
Do you guys remember Paros sister nandini ?always had a feeling she would have a prominent role to play with regard to the sarhadpaar weapons and trafficking issue. But ..alas nothing.
I guess I can go on...
