But I cant stop myself from writing what a lovely confession scene it was.. .It was such a balm to the soul to see Kesar and Gulaal unite..
All I can say is that Neil and Mansi weaved magic once again...
Their scene together made up for anything else that I might have disliked in this or earlier episodes ..so complete were they with each other...tears in their eyes ..the oh so illusive contentment in their hearts...it was beyond words, beyond all words ... The look in Neil's eyes when he says "Puchtaa hun toh tu seedhaa jawaab kahaan deti hai" ... and her saying "mat jaa ...tere bina jeene ki aadat nahin rahi Kesar"..her tears when she finally surrendered into his arms and begged "mujhe yahaan se kahin mat jaane dena" and his expression of disbelief and contentment when he finally put his arms around her and held her close to himself ..and said, "nahin jaane dunga ..tu khud bhi kahegi to nahin jaane dunga"..his expression...their reunion...the moments which froze in time and got imprinted in their hearts..and ours... I cannot describe ...I can only relive the scene in my heart , over and over again..
On what a lead pair - this Neil and Mansi ! There can never be another like them...
So beautifully have they enacted Kesar and Gulaal that not for a moment did it feel they were not actually Kesar and Gulaal ...only because the show has bang ended on my face that I now have to see them as Neil and Mansi ... They never acted ...they lived their roles...
They cried and they made us cry , they laughed and they made us laugh ..their connection was felt directly in our own hearts day in and day out...I couldnt believe it was only a show , so real were they when on screen..
What amazing talent ..thank you everyone associated with Gulaal, but thank you Neil and Mansi specially for being our Kesar and Gulaal and giving us such an exceptional relationship to experience ...
such beautiful memories to cherish...
Thanks for weaving the magic that will be a benchmark on Indian television for a long time to come
with gratitude and admiration,
VJ
