The last scene made me think how Gulaal's ultimate reason for living...to fulfill Vasant's dream...that reason, that dream was SHATTERED today...completely shattered...and maybe something has to shatter first before things can start afresh, life can begin anew...it's like the ultimate burden that Gulaal was set free from...even if unintentionally...but it was needed...Gulaal NEEDED to be set free from these burdens, this perception that she had assumed over time that only she would know what's best for the family and what decisions should be taken for that.

I'm excited for the GK scene tomorrow...the shot of the day today for me has to be them sitting on the ground together at night...haunting, gives you goosebumps.

WORD!! 👏👏👏 That is exactly what I was mentioning in the EDT too - k as heart breaking as this was to watch, it seems that it was a necessary evil. This was the final blow to Gulaal's "Vasant ka sapna" wali comatose state.. She needed to see that she could step away from these burdens, that it wasn't her responsibility to do what is best for the family ALL THE TIME by taking all the decision, but rather to be there for them in the hard times so that they can recover from them.. She had to realize k the family would see it's share of pain - it was inevitable! But she should show her love for them by BEING there for them when they do (like Kesar was today, for her) instead of trying to deprive them of all their choices and making all the decisions for them.

For the longest time, Gulaal has been like that self appointed "parent" of the family who makes all the decision for the "kids" thinking k "she knows what's right".. In her attempt to "protect" them, she's stripped them of their right to choose and make decisions AND herself of her right to enjoy life! It's not fun having to live the lives of 10 different people at the same time and putting THEIR happiness before yours even if it is THEIR mistakes in the first place that would be bringing them that said pain..

That was not Vasant's dream. Vasant may have dreamed of a happy, unified home.. But I don't think he meant for that home to be held together under the false pretext of "happiness and togetherness". But being in as vulnerable a state as Gulaal was during Vasant's death wala track, it makes total sense how she'd clutch on to his ideology and interpret it in as extreme a manner as she did. It was her life line - her window to sanity and her Vasant.. *sigh*

but oh my god, that scene, when Gulaal falls and Kesar rushes to her, as doed Talli - what a beautiful beautiful representation of beginnings and closures! Life sure comes round in a full circle and the way Kesar's arm goes round her in a holding support and the way his hand further finds way to her face, caressing and freaked out worried and urging her to respond - it's like our first glimpse of Gulaal the child and Kesar the adult! I know we saw some semblance of such sequences when Vasant's death first came out before Gulaal - where Kesar had forgotten all his misery and loss only to seek her out - but this is different. At that point Kesar needed her as much as she needed him ... at this point its all about Gulaal's exclusive need (although their mutual presence for each other is always a necessity moment irrespective) but the way he takes... is such an overwhelming moment - and only this show, of any other, could make such subtlety out of such a momentous moment without having the camera go round in circles to capture every angle of their 'intimacy' - because that is where GK as a couple rise beyond any other! Every time they're physically supporting each other, is just a whole new nuance to their bond, and today was all about Kesar playing the role Gulaal played for him all these years! Starting from the point he tries to intervene and defend her against the accusations, reminded of the time MB told Gulaal not to come to Kesar's defense because she was always saving him and covering his wrongs - role reversal right there... and then the way she fell like a lifeless creature and Kesar rushed to her, worried all over her, fussed and pleaded for her to respond - every bit, Gulaal the fallen 'child' angel, and Kesar this silver lining in her darkest moment of disgrace and loss...
BOLD: OMG Jzee...that scene seriously gives me goosebumps!! When she fell, her eyes all vacant, I actually gasped because I have seen seen that 'nothing is here anymore' expression on her face, in her eyes. Even after V's death...she was in mourning but she held herself together but NEVER NEVER THAT VACANT LOOK!! I can totally understand why Kesar was all freaked out...because he has never seen her like that either. When he held her and caressed her face...he was scared out of his wits..actually not to dilute the moment but so was Talli!! Today MB was handing her so many blows...dhokha with the family, dhoka with Vasant, comparing what she had done to Dushy's act, making her stay in the house so she can watch them cry and suffer...that verbal attack literally killed her!

I have watched that part over and over again...said this a million times but BRAVO MANASI! 👏

Thanks for the caps Anu!

*sigh* The caps look too heart breaking.. And Gulaal looks so shattered and ghost-like.. Like she's lost "Vasant" all over again by being accused of being like DUSHYANT while all the while she had been attempting to fulfill VASANT's sapna for his family.. That has to be such a blow - to know k instead of Vasant, her actions were being likened to that of his murderer.. *sigh*

And the way Kesar protectively puts his arm around her to shield her from anyone and anything from there on out. How he didn't try to make her stand or rush her grieving process but rather just sat there with her - just as sad and solemn in her pain.. trying to be there for her and to comfort his with his presence and attention.. *sigh* These two! They break my heart..

Just putting forth my views about today..I absolutely adored the cxinematography in the darkness and kes gul leaning on to each other being completely shattered and unaware of the surroundings...The more I see the new PB the more I cringe..absolutely horrible...THen I thought that its not really the fault of the actress actually we are so used to see high class performers in Gulaal that any thing mediocre seems cringeworthy...not forgetting to mention Talli's acting specially when she cries seems absolutely unbearable...almost the same every time..so enough of loathing...well for me todays episode was the beginning of a new bonding bw KG...as I had mentioned yesterday that marriage is such an institution which demands mutual support..and this mutual dependance makes the relationship strong and unique...so this dependance which was lacking from Gulaal might come into play...Every human being needs support and there is nothing wrong in it...can't wait for 2moro..when KG will talk about their troubled past..and Gulaal opening up😍

On a serious note...I actually love reading the discussions..but never participate coz you guys are just fantastic..I feel too shy to comment...but I absolutely love what you guys write..keep up the great work...Reemz,Jzee,anj,and fivr, anu...love your caps..👏

Gulaal made all these decisions for the family without thinking that she has a responsibility towards herself. Vasant did not tell her to marry Kesar if he dies, he did not tell her to fix Kesar's marriage with Talli, he did not tell her to hide Dushyant's truth from the family. All these things she took on herself to most probably distract herself from the bitter truth that Vasant is no longer with her. Ironically, while trying to hold on to his memories, she lost herself in the process and that's where Kesar comes in because over time he has brought her back. All which she stood for, no longer exists. It was her bhram which has finally been shattered for her own good!
