Savz - when I said she's only been a rebel in the name of duty, I wasn't talking just about the DV. In fact I was talking a lot more of the GV times. Gulaal coming with Vasant as Nirja was HUGE. She was bold and strong in it - but think about her reason? She owed it to Vasant, the man who saved her father, and to the people, who were dying without water. Again, her wanting to marry Vasant? They didn't run away and marry. They only set themselves to the task of convincing their families out of a senseless rivalry. AND again, protecting Dushyant and keeping his secret - indeed a rebellion of kind against any orthodox woman opinions - but she does it in the name of her promise to her husband.
I'm saying Gulaal draws her strength from her her sense of duty. She treats none of it like an obligation. So she obviously has her weak moments!
In today's episode - Gulaal's denial was not for facts, we're long past that version of Gulaal. She has broken this DV because of the family... if she went back to Kesar now however, BECAUSE the family has accepted her, it would have nothing or insignificant much to do with Kesar. At this point, she cannot bear to see Kesar, or listen to PB - not because she's hiding from the truth, but because she KNOWS it, and can't bear it. And yet - her final phase of fight has to be breaking down that ultimate wall, of moving on in life being a RIGHTEOUS decision, and not just something her heart wants. I suppose in a way, that is what Vasant's coming back is about. She moved on in her heart from Vasant to Kesar - but her years of being such a righteous person (as a rebel or not - her intentions have been unexceptionally saintly by the book) so IMO, what holds her back now is the lack of her realization, that her heart is not falling into clutches of her own temptation, but that moving on is truly the right thing. The fact that she now knows where her heart is, but cannot find a concurrence between her head and heart makes it impossible for her to hear PooBaa or meet Kesar and be reminded all the more explicitly, of how badly she wants her heart to win this battle!
