Your welcome. Its a great discussion 😊 I haven't watched Gulaal properly for the last few weeks so my response might be outdated. House hunting is a killer, totally shattered so hope this makes sense. Need to sit down and watch.
I agree with you, I get why she wanted D, but I would have been happier if she asked MB to remain in the position then it would have been MB to decide. I know she wouldn't in her wildest dream think of D as her future hubby.
The idea of having MB stay the head is fine. But the man seems to be weakling alot lately. I'm actually worried about him? Do you think the CV are planning to kill him off?
Would have been better MB giving D name. And Gulaal just saying she's not worthy and to choose someone else.
I am still against her taking D's name in Sarpanch not because I don't believe people could change, but because I didn't really feel D has repented really or maybe enough, I didn't see his inner battle even in a slighter glams for the capability for the position. Especially when cv showed him leaving panchayath to threaten the driver. Also it is not her life she is taking the decision about but of the entire village.
Actually I don't really think people can really change. If a person is misleaded and then changes their ways then fine.
But D has grey shades in him that will never go away. Thats his foundation of what a person he is.
The grey shades can be seem when he goes to threaten the driver like you said and also keeping an eye on Kesar. I don't think that keeping an eye on Kesar was all about Kesar safety.
And yet he asks MB to give him a chance to explain if they hear anything bad about him. From what I remember he was very sincerer in his request. But keep down he doesn't want to lose what he has now.
Is it to keep his family together?
Or is it more selfish and he doesn't want his past sins to catch up to him, he is happy with his life and doesn't want to go to prison.
I do get her dilemma of Gulaal not revealing the truth to the family, but she shouldn't guide people into having an image of D as saint, that is wrong. I rather have her neutral in D's matter because everyone trusts her so much and she has that responsibility towards them. There are always side effects for being a mahan. I am a person who forgives people who hurts me but that doesn't mean I forget what they did. Life always gives us lessons to be learned, if we don't then we will get more experiences in life until we learn it. I am very happy that she forgave but I don't want her to forget, sometimes I feel as if Gulaal is caring a burden of guilt regarding Vasanth's murder because of D's lust for Gulaal. Somewhere I feel that she blames herself also.
Your right Gulaal should not make D look like a saint because he's not. And to give what should have been Vasants title to D was a very wrong move. I didn't like it.
And I agree about forgiveness (for the sake of family etc) but she should not forget what evil D is capable of doing...
About Gulaal blaming herself for Vasants death. Your bang on and I also strongly believe that. The way she neglects herself, doesn't plan anything for herself. Can't even remember what she likes and doesn't like and all she can think of Vasants wishes. Yes she loves her dead husband alot...but her neglect on herself...she just doesn't feel she's worthy of anything.. The guilt of Vasant's death is draining her.
She seems to have given up on living...just waiting for the day she fulfills Vasant's last wish and Kesar takes over and she can rot away somewhere.
I so agree with you on hiding the truth for longer and also the fact she didn't get the time to think through. But it should be something in her mind all the time haunting her, especially when Durgesh knows the truth. Knowing Durgesh, in her mind it is not if but when the truth is revealed.
I think when D truth comes out (it will just a matter of time), it will lift a big burden off Gulaal's head.
I don't see any romantic feeling from Gulaal's side happening towards Kesar until this burden as been lifted. In my head it doesn't make sense but ofcourse its CV story and they can do whatever they want with it. Hopefully they won't spoil it.
If Gulaal is to see Kesar in a new light then the turning point should be his reaction and how he deals with the knowledge of D and why Gulaal kept it quiet. And then she can notice Kesar unconditional love for her. (This is purely my preference)
It is not that I don't want her to make mistake but I don't want the cv to go out of the way to justify her. She is a human and I want them to keep her as one. I also want her to accept her flaws. I am dyeing to accept Gulaal with her flaws. I see it as a good opportunity to make Gulsar journey with her flaws.
Yes it will be refreshing to see the lead being normal and making mistakes. I like how they shown Gulaal with her faults of being too selfless. Making leads more human allows us to relate to them more.
But you are right if the truth is revelled then what is it to spice up the show? 😡😡😡
This story has alot of potential. With Gulaal-Kesar tension and the love triangle. And Gulaals development...
If the revel the truth carefully...the story will have a massive impact and will be very interesting.
I'm a little worried how the story is going tbh, its like they keep are opening so many tracks and waiting to resolve them all in one big bang...maybe because the show is going to end?... I'm hoping my thinking it wrong.
