for this love and care from Gulaal which had been his for so long earlier ...till "love" did them part ...so to say..

Today he is all busy taking care of her as she needs him ...but this moment has sprung to the surface how much he needs her tooo..how much he too has gone through for so long now..mainly at her hands...and especially ever since he confessed his love for her that rainy night...

all I was aware of was how much pain this boy has buried in himself in the process of becoming a man... my heart goes out to him...

I'm in a nostalgic mood right now and watching old scenes *sigh* This one will always remain in my top 5...once again the brilliant layers there are to GK so personified in this scene as well:

Like I said in my post - I was personally reminded of the Pareshani scene... because he told her back then, of how he wasn't the focus of her existence anymore and he wanted to know why... and then he wanted to know why, if he wasn't her focus anymore, she was still all over his mind anyway! Oh the guy's been so torn and all that! If you look at Kesar's life, he's always playing second fiddle for Gulaal - even though no one can replace his place! First to Vasant, then to the family, and now finally to Gulaal and her happiness. Whether its imposed by others or his own decision, he just cannot be the first thing on her list, in his head - and its like he's been living a lifetime to see that day - to be her number one! (When he'd just come back, he was her number !, but again, at that point he was too driven to believe otherwise and be skeptical of every attention...and also for the briefest time he became her priority in the little happy GK phase post the DV - but that was so brief, not to mention he was too much a child to realize, but innately, perhaps its that prime of time which had heightened his craving to be her focus, because even if only as a child, he has once known what it is like to be basked in the glory of being center of her attention!) He's just never found the peace of being at that place and comprehending it precisely, with her knowing and acknowledging as much! Yesterday just seemed like this hint of what it would be like - to be her number 1 now, when he's all grown up, and knows it isn't about being her responsibility, but about being her equal and partner.

It's such an irony that even when the two of them remain irreplaceable for the other - they have each craved to be the top priority for the other at different points, Kesar a lot more than Gulaal.

Btw does anyone else miss Kesar's tune?? The original one that used to play in all his scenes?? Haven't heard that in a long time now...I miss it...especially when I watch old scenes.

Dude you mean his tone of dilemma?! Didn't they very recently play it in the GK confrontation which was otherwise quite a fail?! I LOVE that tone - if we're talking about the same one - cause when it played up I was like OMG, it hasn't played in so so long!

*Edit: Does anyone else also wish that we'd ever get a "Aur tu?" moment again??😍...Pata nahin if we will *sigh*...This scene had all that...man, I loveddd that phase of the show...the angst was so brilliant!

Yayyy! I vote for Aur tu - I love love love those scenes, just did a drabble on the first one yesterday! The aur tu sequel of scenes is amazing for how many different facets of their bond it brings out each time! The same two words, matter differently depending on what context they are spoken in! And yet the implicit idea is always same - she's always putting herself last on all her lists, and he's always putting her first on his own! To hate, to love, to care for, to support, to chide... everything! She's the first one in the firing line of everyone of his emotions, good and bad! As is he - even though she doesn't always intend it like him...


P.S. I loveee Manasi's voice...her singing in the beginning is just so enchanting...can anyone really blame Kesar for being all mesmerized?? :P

Thanks JZephyr for nice post and enjoyed it so much.

I am very hopeful of Precap. Gulaal has finally let out her inner tormoil and offered share with Kesar. Interestingly she has offered to give him haq that was entitled to her late husband Vasant means that she is giving her husbands right to Kesar now. Despite precap looks promising, I am still scared that facts may bring rift between two instead of closing gap between them. Yet I have high hopes from Kesar that he will handle the facts more maturely as he has promised himself and her that they will overcome this rough time together.

Funnily she has not missed Vasant after moving out. After moving in to their house, Vasant ghost is not haunting her at all. Pacing around the porch for her husband to return suggest that her mind is fully dwelling on Kesar's thought. The fact that she did not jump to correct him of his understanding that she is treating him as her husband on dinning area, only suggests that she is too liking his idea.😉

I guess I didn't notice...that scene just turned out blahh...this tune needs like SOLO focus on it in a scene to really get the impact across...the way they used it in the first few months post-leap especially.

As is he - even though she doesn't always intend it like him...Yepp...that is the genius of the way this one phrase just encapsulates their characters so brilliantly...especially Kesar's...and that is why it would be so wonderful to see it used just once more before the end...he hasn't said it all since the confession, right?? Cuz in a sense the confession took away all sense of ambiguity which was kind of the reason for his usage of this phrase...it was always used in this almost subconscious manner by him...just came out..."aur tu?"...I loved the layers of unsaid this added to their scenes in that phase...I miss that I guess...

You have summed it up beautifully...there is so much in that one moment when he looks at her with so much pain - when she caresses him after coughing...Yes he was aware of her touch, it came through...but what came through even more touchingly was how he had longed for this for so long -for this love and care from Gulaal which had been his for so long earlier ...till "love" did them part ...so to say..

Today he is all busy taking care of her as she needs him ...but this moment has sprung to the surface how much he needs her tooo..how much he too has gone through for so long now..mainly at her hands...and especially ever since he confessed his love for her that rainy night...

and today when life has given him a small breather with the urgencies of existence having been taken care of in the form of a house and a job...his own pain resurfaces again and again... as he looks at Gulaal as she caresses him with so much concern and care ... as she sits and waits for him to eat...all I was aware of was how much pain this boy has buried in himself in the process of becoming a man... my heart goes out to him...

That's the one you were talking of right?!

PS: the scene was playing in the BG as I post this - did I say enough of how much relief it was to not have PB and SF in the showdown yesterday?! Geez, thank heavens!

Thanks for the links, Jzee...but no, I wasn't talking about this tune...I was talking about Kesar's tune...they 'hey hey hey' waali...the one that played in the very first GK scene post leap when he turns and sees her, remember? That's my fav. tune.

Oooh that one - that's classic Kesuda the lover boy on a high 😆 I actually really like most BG tunes this show, they're so well matched to the character nuances and moments, but the one I linked continues to be my long time favorite... there's so much dilemma in its undertones, and so much angst to that! And the way they coupled this tone with his tujhe mujhpar bharosa haina Gulaal in this scene was awesome - except it was so short lived and cut through by Talli's completely redundant - baat bharose ki nahin hai! Dude!!! Gulaal ka jawaab to sunne deti bichaare ko!!!

I love the ending of this GK scene too...is there any chance we might get GK talking about the letters once again too? *sigh* I can only hope

I've really always hoped we will! Unlike many, I don't think the letters were unfairly underplayed in the part of the plot where they were - because at that point Gulaal being overcome by his letters or moved to anything other than the reaction she gave him - it's obsession not love - would have been unreal. But that said, the letters played such a critical role in their initial phase... they sort of deserve coming back to consequence! Them, like Gulaal's diary... the documenting of both these characters is a strong common point, which goes on to say so much about how they tend to attach themselves to matters so entirely! Besides, now that Gulaal knows that Kesar's love is not in fact an obsession, her viewing of his letters would be in such a different light! Exactly the way, after Kesar learns the truth on Monday, if he then chances upon her diary - it will be far the more impact! it's like they each open up this secret side to themselves to each other - and then each finding this documentation of testimony, not to stand proof, but in a way to further the impact many times over. Not to mention Gulaal's diary would help so much to knock sense into the haveli walas! (not walis, they're seriously beyond sense!)

I just love the way the entire bit plays out...Kesar making all attempts to brush aside the letter and change the topic but Gulaal hanging on...the bit when she chides him for not posting the letter and keeping it for so long and his utter SHOCK...fear that she just might know the whole truth of the letters...but she tells him she recognized his handwriting from his childhood...and then him making the excuses later on that there is nothing much in the letter other than b'day greetings...but Gulaal can see through him obviously and just asks him gently if he was so mad at her? And the way he turns to look at her and tell her that she kept him away for 10 years...what superb transitions in this scene...

One of my personal favorite scenes too - this one, and even the preceding bit where he's thinking of her and then she walks in and he tells her to fix his room... oh his innocent ways to get her focus on himself! You said it Nur - he's been starved of it so long, and really, he's been the longest deserving candidate of her exclusive affections! The heart warming part is how easily and simply he's satisfied... takes some very subtle and little gestures... lets not forget she only had to make his favorite food and he was all mellow even in his hurt stiff routine! 😆 He's the ultimate softie there is when it comes to Gulaal!
