Neil's expessive best: Kesar's final goodbye - Page 2

Anjal, but honestly notice WHY she is not even able to speak to him on the phone...she's hanging on by a thread right now...this is typical Gulaal...her behavior today was totally in character...I had expected her denial to go like this...if we take the previous two epis out of the equation, today was totally in keeping with the overall character evolution I feel...she was totally broken and it's like she didn't even have the courage to face him on the phone...

I think the most beautiful paradox in the epi was the joy on her face when she heard his bike and ran to the door but the moment she SAW him, it's like reality hit and the emotions overwhelmed her again to the point of her curling back into her shell as much as she could...but still the fact that the tears were constant there show how much she doesn't have hold over her emotions anymore.

Ofcourse we all feel terrible for Kesar...his pain is such, you WANT to see Gulaal responding, accepting...but today I loved the push and pull...I could see the yearning in her but she wasn't able to cross to the final step...it's understandable.

Wow I just saw this post - okay I need to start referring to the 'forum' and not 'my posts' all the time...

Her dad has told her that Kesar is her future and she should understand and move forward.

But Ganga...all that you listed out...that is what makes her human naa...yes, everyone has told her...yes, she has seen all that Kesar has done...and yet she is not able to cross the final threshold...but today we saw what a battle it IS for her...she is not INDIFFERENT...she battles her emotions constantly...that is the way she always has been...unlike the previous two epis where they showed no emotion in her, today was much better cuz we could see the battle within her...

THIS is what Gulaal is. She is stubborn. It's not like she doesn't want to reciprocate the love but she doesn't know how to accept the fact that she is in love with him. After rejecting his love for so long, how can she so easily give in and say what we all want to hear? She avoided him at Talli's house because her emotions aren't within her control any more.

Nur: this is where I come back to what I wrote...she might not be perfect but she is selfless and we have established that a million times. Problem is that her selflessness starts and stops for everyone around her but Kesar is not included in that??? She knows him so well and she probably knew that he was waiting for her...just a simple goodbye. She went to their place for Janmashtmi where was the push and pull then? She knew she would be seeing him so where did she get the courage to face him then?

Its not like he will jump on her. He has accepted that there is no future for them...he asked during the toffee scene and once again he knew the answer, he told MB...she won't come back...I know her decision...so at this point what is she afraid of?? He is leaving for good...just pick up the phone and say bye bye. She has lived for everyone and I mean even Dushyant but she can't give something simple and basic like a final goodbye...He changed himself for her...she used to call him selfish and he completely changed...could she not put her fears or emotional turmoil aside for a couple of hours and go meet him?

Battle for what, why the need for Vasant's push as if all the push from the rest, Kesar's love and her own emotions are not enough?

Ganga, the problem is that it's Vasant, right?? That is what's pinching you and a lot of us, no doubt.

But if we try not to dwell on just that point so much and look at it from an overall perspective...Battle for COURAGE...like Poonamba said today, it takes COURAGE to live with your decisions, to face those decisions...Gulaal made her choices, decisions but she is not being able to handle the consequences, the fallout...the fact that there was such joy on her face and she ran to the door when she heard his bike shows that her HEART knows the truth but her MIND can't fully accept it yet...and that's how the case always has been for her.

Kesar's pain is heartbreaking...you see how broken he is standing in front of Gulaal, asking to speak to her on the phone but she is unable to...just unable to...she can see that it hurts him, but she herself doesn't have the courage to face him so she hides...it is sad, it is heartbreaking...but those are Gulaal's flaws...that doesn't negate the fact that it was very obvious in today's epi just how much she is in love with Kesar...the yearning was shown in a beautiful manner.

And finally it remains to be seen just what exactly Vasant tells her...even though I'm not in favor of this idea, at this point I'm waiting to see how that GV scene goes and how the final moments are shown before I pass a full judgement on this I guess.

But today both K and G were broken...Gulaal has brought this upon herself, we all agree...but those have always been her character flaws...Kesar has his own, she has her own.

Exactly!! Battle for what??? Kesar is living proof..he walked out on his family, took up a job, broke the DV...I mean all these things staring at her in her face and she needs everyone's approval, push, an accident AND her dead husband to push her in the right direction??
