See, there's a reason why I still rave about this show and hold it to such a high standard on ITV
....yes, it's one of the very rare ones where all the characters were woven in together and it wasn't just about token scenes for the "leads" per se....and that is why it ends up coming across as a more fully formed and layered story with many levels....ultimately Gulaal-Kesar's relationship is the most interesting part of the story for me but it's a more satisfying story precisely because of the way they weave in Dushyant's journey, Motabha's journey etc. too. It helps that the show only had a run of like 8-9 months....SP ended it a bit prematurely but even then they did the ending quite well.
Its just a shame that such quality shows don’t get the deserved appreciation! Star not uploading it on hotstar is just so disappointing:( Also the women in the show are not shown having a typical mindset. Most of them a voice and most importantly a functioning brain😆
The most touching part of Kesar-Gulaal's relationship was precisely this....their connection towards Vasant....they both hero worshipped Vasant and his death hit them the hardest...but somehow even that deepened their bond as they learnt to become each other's emotional support....somehow only they seemed to understand the loss of Vasant the most acutely with each other....and then later on when the rift happens, this will all become even more raw....Kesar feeling disillusioned with Gulaal thinking that she has betrayed Vasant's memory and by extension betrayed Kesar's trust in her.
Loosing Vasant was a big blow for both of them, he was special and these two were the most important people in his life. What a situation to be for both of them, gosh! Even more so for Kesar, its just too much to deal with for him.
To me, the Kesar-Gulaal angst is still the all time best written angst on ITV....I'll be curious to know your thoughts once you get to that point
Going by your last line on Kesar , I can only imagine the level of angst. I am a sucker for angst if its written well:))
