@Nureat: I havn't read the posts that talk about Gulaal-kesar chemistry yet. I watch the show and form my opinions on what i see on screen and not necessarily what i expect from the writers next. So far the writers creativity is not is providing shock value by showing Gulaal marrying a 12 yr old child. Actually if you watch the episodes prior to and afterwards you see the emphasis was barely on the issue of an older woman marrying a child. Since the beginning unless you read the articles you would not imagine that Kesar and Gulaal would be linked together. If you as most viewers in India were to watch the show daily on tV without an insight into the future tracks, you would see the progression of the story, the growth in the lead character of Gulaal and why she did what she did. The relationship between Gulaal and Kesar would be seen in a very different light if you were to watch the show only. It is only recently, once Kesar started asking questions and was sent to boarding school and now that he is back (episodes spanning withing the last few weeks of Gulaal) that the issues of the evolving relationship between a pre-pubic Kesar and an adult Gulaal was focused on. And it is only now post leap that Kesar as a changed person (a grown man) has introduced a new angle to the story. So far the writers of this show have maintained the integrity of the characters. Gulaal especially being central to the whole story must remain morally intact if the show must retain its status as a morally conscious show and not join the list of Bandini, BV or Laado etc. Till date Gulaal has been a woman who has bravely fought every adversity. No one could ever force her to do anything against her will. The only compulsion she has been under is to marry Kesar to save his life. That too was a temporary solution for her until Kesar's future and life was secure. So i don't see a situation where she will be forced to accept Kesar as husband under any circumstances. Her feelings changing towards him also seem unlikely. Because if she was that kind of a person, and had the inclination to be with a man other than Vasant, then she would have chosen Dushyant already. Yes when he first made a proposal it was indecent, yes he kidnapped and almost tried to rape her into submission but she forgave him after all that. She forgave him Vasant's murder. And Dushyant over the past 8 years must have given her enough reason to believe he was a changed a man. So if she wanted another life, she would have chosen him already. But Gulaal's character won't let her be with another man. If she changes that stance...i'd like to see what compels her to that degree. And the creativity of the writers will be seen in the way they can convince me without doubt that this was a natural thing to happen. If they don't then Gulaal will join the list of other shows that have bit the dust on the same grounds.
