Character Sketch Of GANPAT - Page 2

Ganpat was the spice, the Mirch masala element. Just like u said, I could never hate him like I hated kala or suds etc.. cause he neither helped nor harmed anyone lthe way other negative characters did. You never took him seriously , like Babi dismissed his every word or even his presence😆

Nevertheless was a wel sketched character, did what was expected. He was slimy street smart, overly greedy, an absolute wastebody, lousy sucker. Yet he provided the humor quotient and I must say the actor did justice to the character.

Hi Rosie, many apologies for a late response, although have to admit many a times I was tempted to peek into your post, but was involved in doing my FF. However now that I have had the chance to read your brilliant post, may I say that it an interesting exposition of Ganpat's character.
Ganapat to me than is one such character who is not an out and out offender due to which he slips out of the net. Yet we know he is of ill worth and charred with a degree of disrepute, due to his misdemeanours. People like Ganpat can be easily identified in various stratum of societies and cultures. Such a man tends to prey on the vulnerable to lead a comfortable life. To make an honest living is out weighed by the desire to live off others. In short such a character tends to sponge of the available vulnerable source. Such a character tends to be free of moral qualms and issues of integrity, thus having the guarantee, that others around him would continue to cater to his wants and needs. Such a character as can be seen in Ganpat, within their own living environment can also be deemed as the man of the household, living with a possible trauma of unemployment, which his wife and step daughter support him to deal with. Such a person with parasite like tendencies also have certain weakness of character that becomes evident more so in a sudden change of circumstance i.e. losing their job, which then leads them to grasp easy options such as a variety of addictions , as we see in Ganapat and his alcohol issue. But because he is inherently one who would rather have someone else carry his burden he continues to take each day as it comes. So although, Ganpat is not a likable character at all, yet to me he is very credible , for whom I could say, "oh him I know him he is one of those who in simple terms in my language is " a bagherat ju apne biwi ke kamiye pe pal raha hai"...
Thank you Rosie for an excellent characterisation, enjoyed it thoroughly. Much love xx hammie.

he wasn't even a good father to his own flesh and blood , for his behavior towards sethji became different when he started stealing fromD as he encouraged him to enjoy his life with stolen goods, the boy did get tempted, but for babi sethji would also turn to crime. even in the start sethji did petty crimes to earn money for the family. even then it didn't make ganpat go out to earn for his family which was totally unexceptable.

his alchoholism may have started because of loosing hiis job. which is really a medical condition, but to steal from ur own boss for greed to steal from the hand that feeds u has to be dishonesty from a very uncouth person after all dutta's anger was well known for dhokas and he could have thrown them out. then the whole family would be out in the street. coming to the stealing of gold god knows where it went. dutta's whole buisness was pretty slack , how anyone can just take bags of stuff without anyone noticing is beyond belief. i also don't understand how a cowered like ganpat had the guts to steal from Dutta Bhau.😕

Ganapat to me than is one such character who is not an out and out offender due to which he slips out of the net...despite his flaws its difficult to hate him probably we have some more hateful characters like kala n party People like Ganpat can be easily identified in various stratum of societies and cultures. Such a man tends to prey on the vulnerable to lead a comfortable life...agree with u people like him can be easily found who dont mind being dependent on others for life So although, Ganpat is not a likable character at all, yet to me he is very credible , for whom I could say, "oh him I know him he is one of those who in simple terms in my language is " a bagherat ju apne biwi ke kamiye pe pal raha hai"... lol rightly said n thanks for sharing your views
