I notice that on each of your points you blame Taali for making the mistake of loving someone. That's something she was entitled too. She hung around him because Kesar sent her MIXED messages to her and Gulaal filled her brain with the idea she was destined to marry him. You want Taali to be rationale but not Kesar? You feel saddened for Kesar getting rejected by Gulaal and don't blame him, but Taali is at fault for loving Kesar? Kesar broke her heart by taking her right to the point of doing the pheras and then backing away. IF he did not have ANY intentions, then he could have done the decent thing and told her, yes, you're right, I don't love you, instead of leading her own for some any years. How can you blame someone when you, yourself ADMIT that Gulaal has been selfishly misused her and Kesar for own purpose though she may think it is genuine for her.
There is nothing wrong with her mother Sudha either. No-one would have thought Kesar and her would NOT get married. No-one even acknowledged the child marriage of Kesar and Gulaal as a REAL marriage. And how was Sudha to know? She never forced Taali into anything. She is and has been a good mother to her by defending her and protecting her and focusing on what SHE wants. Sorry, but she's a good mother and her loyalty towards her shows.
Only to clarify here that I am not arguing against Talli nor for Gulaal or Kesar. They all have good points and bad points.
I think you quite misunderstood me here as I am telling that she is not only victim of other choice but of her own too. I am not blaming only her for her condition. Some others' are too be blamed for that namely Gulaal, Sudha and Kesar.
Gulaal has been and is her first culprit. She should not have encourage her to dream a false dreams. I have never appraised Gulaal for her behaviour.
Coming to Kesar, kesar may have mislead her but he did not confirm her that he loved her, he never did. She was believing that Kesar loved her on false assumption which did not have strong base i.e., for chunar case.
Lets be honest, by the time he proposed to her, did not she feel weird that out of blue the marriage proposal came from him all of sudden knowing she had been quite miserable from past Kesar's behaviour. Night before proposal, she knew that he did not love her and did not bother to read the letters. She let herself be played by Kesar's game. This is not love but called stupidity. Which she realised later on after wedding was called off but was too late.
He did made mistake of proposing to her for his selfish purpose ie. to punish Gulaal, but he did apologies for his misbehavior. Through Talli's insight, he learnt that if you love someone, you do not love expecting that the person will reciprocate but you just love the person unconditionally. So Kesar's has learnt his mistake and moved on.
I totally disagree with your view points towards Sudha.She too encouraged her to live in false hopes. I equally blame Gulaal and Sudha for the Tallis' condition. How can you decide someone's else life decision and how can you agree to it knowing you don't have consent from right person? Sudha is more matured and experienced to Talli. She is suffering from loveless marriage and still too. She has seen Talli being suffered from Kesar's misbehaviour in past. she agreed to get her married to him, why? Just because Talli wants too. Hence, she never looked back and asked even once in past why talli got hurt nor thought about Talli - kesar's future after marriage . She went ahead with this marriage decision blindly. Therefore, she is too her culprit.
Finally, I have previously mentioned why Talli too landed herself in condition. Loving someone is not mistake but acting stupidly in love is definitely mistake.
