Is Durgesh even needed now, i mean the secret is out - and i kinda thought he would be the one telling all, but no - but on the whole he is the one who cause the accident in the first place, even if D was the one who finished Vasant off at the end
I think on the whole after everything - Gulaal's plight and Gulaal's pain has to be highlighted in how hard it was for her to do what she did (and how she lived with it) and who for, and for this family... this family even wouldnt be standing or all together today if not for Gulaal and deep down if they think about it when the get over their shock and grief - Vasant would of wanted and done the same thing in a way
Hola Lenn, long time, I don't see you around anymore ?! 😒
Anyway - tbh while I see SF bveing the person to look at long term future and do the explaining for MB and PB - I don't equate her 'understanding' of the gravity of the matter to empathizing with Gulaal. Her intentions were noble, and nobody can deny her that - even if they are upset with her at this point they will see it in time. But noble intentions are no guarantee of right actions. A fact that is testified by Gulaal's character. The extreme of her goodness or selflessness, or intention of not causing anyone pain, other than herself, is in fact going to lead to the most painful chapter in the history of this house - perhaps even more than the real loss of their son himself! This sense of betrayal will raise the loss quotient many times over, and no one but Gulaal's noble decision can be to blame! Like I said to Anjali - I personally think Gulaal not having taken MB into confidence a decade ago was her greatest error... the fact that she assumes herself in position for all the pain bearing is a naturally wrong concept. And even though she has lived with great secret pain for so long, keeping a secret like that buried within - the kind of pain it will cause esp MB and PB now, the parents of Vasant, and the betrayed guardians of Dushyant and Gulaal - will be just as immeasurable. Somehow, she lived with the idea that she could bury the hatchet and live her life like that forever - a secret, that she should not have forgotten, was known to others beyond Dushyant and herself- and those others were pure evil. Put aside the fact that Kesar has spiled the beans - why and how did she assume Durgesh never would take his bid?! If in not telling directly, then in finding a way to bring back the skeletons?! He was doing that in secretly promoting Kesar's search when he got back after 10 years... and although things have unfolded in a different way, there is no way Gulaal lived with the idea that nothing would ever bring out the truth! If she had tried to measure the extent of consequences then, she might have actually considered talking to MB long ago. TBH, I even think she got her alarm alert when she learned that Kesar knew the truth. In a way, that should have served as a sign for her - that one day, like Kesar, everyone would know, and everyone would inevitably raise fingers, because she has hidden from them a truth they deserved to know... that her decision, even if proven noble, was greatly presumptuous of mass good! When she had come back and almost been on the verge of telling MB the truth, before Kesar intervened and mentioned his decision to marry Talli - Gulaal should not just have buried the matter all over again...
Again, not taking away Gulaal's well meant intention - just saying she ignored too many signs of why her decision could backfire much worse one day - as it now will. And the worst part is not that she's being shown the door, the worst part is the permanence of rift that is now likely to occur in that house between the two families, will be worse than it could ever have been before, perhaps!
