That show was so ahead of it's time! I was blown away by the ritual of 'deer battu' (apologies if I have mispronounced it)...so many customs we do not know exist in our country...I used to watch the show and loved each and every actor from the show...even that Neil Bhatt whom I could never like after the show...the show was purely story driven and felt like a fresh air...

Not just that ... even from emotional pov...

Gulaal was one of those shows that balanced intense drama with genuine emotion so effortlessly. Unlike today’s random chaos on TV, every storyline in Gulaal felt intentional. The characters weren’t just caricatures of “good” or “evil”—they were complex, flawed, relatable humans, struggling with love, ambition, and moral dilemmas.What made it stand out was the depth of its relationships. Friendships, romances, rivalries—they weren’t just for surface-level drama. Each conflict, each tear, each betrayal carried weight because the audience understood the people behind them. There was tension, yes, but it stemmed from real stakes and believable motivations, not just forced twists.

Even the slower, slice-of-life moments were meaningful. Small gestures, fleeting glances, and heartfelt conversations lingered in memory far longer than the loud, over-the-top melodrama we see today. That slow-burn storytelling allowed viewers to connect emotionally, rooting for characters in ways that felt authentic.

Ah the era of writing essays for shows that were worth it

Sometime back when I checked it had shown 164...now again 175.

Real Q is about when will Hiba unfollow him

Dunno why it’s taking her so much time 🤷‍♀️😂

Also he needs to delete all old Runak/Krushi posts from his Insta to fully burst the bubble as he says. Why this half baked bubble burst 🤪😂….is kaam mein bhi laziness? What a clown 🤡😂

Hiii everyone....

How are you all?All good?

Honestly, hats off to all of you. The way this forum is still alive and buzzing—even after the downright pathetic ending of Jhanak Season 1—is nothing short of legendary.

Despite the disappointment, you all’re still here… talking, debating, laughing, sharing opinions, venting emotions, and above all, building real friendships.

You all turned fandom frustration into collective wisdom and companionship. And that’s beautiful.

Congratulations to every single one of you for keeping this space alive—not because of the show, but in spite of it.

Came here after a long time today and the way you all’ve decorated this forum is far more iconic than anything the writers[Don't even want to take her name🤣]in the show delivered. 💛

Hey Asmi…. What a pleasant surprise!! So nice to see your post!!

I have been a bit infrequent but I do drop in from time to time to catch up on the news on the forum…

You have dropped in on a minefield galore day it seems 🤣🤣

Yea this forum has survived without the show!! I don’t think anyone bothers about the show and even its ending news will just be another footnote!!

Whole fandom is just waiting for Hiba's reaction at the moment...when will she unfollow him

Meanwhile Krush should be the first one to delete all posts related to KrusHi and Runak na as he was the one who wanted to burst the bubble toh😂

Majority of KrusHi fandom turned into Hiba fans or completely cut-off from both at the moment and advising Hiba to choose self-respect before Krushal himself remove her from following and delete posts 😂

Don't worry AYji...iss maamle me bhi shayed Hiba hi akhri baar k liye janaab ko save karke jayegi...by blocking his account so that all reels automatically vanish! 😁😁

Bhaiii I am not seeing the prospect of Hiba not having self respect! The entire situation is in favour of Hiba only...if she unfollows him, then also majority of KrusHi fd will support her...if she doesn't do anything about Krushal's account, then also she will have the respect of the fd as she stood tall till the end of the friendship and it is Krush who needed to wipe out everything related to KrusHi 😂😂 Don't worry about Hiba...whatever may be the outcome, our gurl is on the winning side! 🤣🤣

While I didn’t watch all the episodes I just felt that was one show that handled that theme rather well…. It’s never about what’s right or wrong… that’s a compass one is individually dealing with… it’s the way the story is written… of why that love between Mansi’s character and Neil’s was so believable and so deserving of empathy and understanding…

Writing is key!! I loved the acting of young Kesar i remember
