Last night, I was too emotional to open any social media . I just couldn’t.I was too heartbroken..But today, when I finally scrolled through Reddit and X, I was honestly amazed. Some users ( the haters, of course ) have gone as far as calling Gaurav’s final moments with Mridul fake. They’re nitpicking the way he cried, the way he said “tere rehta captain nahi ban paya”, and labeling it self-centred...and are still bashing him for trying to comfort Ashnoor in his way.
But do they really fail to understand that it is his way of giving strength to the other person only. He’s one of those people who tries to lighten even the heaviest moments with a touch of humour .. sometimes awkward, sometimes misplaced, but always heartfelt. It’s his way of coping with emotion, of holding himself together when his heart is breaking inside.
This along with the previous Bajaj one, anyone who has followed GK knows that’s exactly his coping mechanism. He’s the kind of person who diffuses heaviness with a half-smile or a self-deprecating quip. It’s not ego; it’s humanness. Some people cry loudly, some stay silent, some crack a weak bad joke so they don’t break down completely. He just happens to be the last kind.
To see people calling him fake just for being himself -for existing and breathing as he naturally does - feels absurd.
This sudden hate-train is honestly baffling. They are dissecting his every blink, every expression, every word, with claims like "Ahhh superstar 's mask is falling" ...as though they’re desperate to uncover a mask that doesn’t really exist.🤣...and they are holding on to ohh he said this,he said that...bcz he’s conducted himself so gracefully that they have nothing real to attack.
But perhaps that’s the irony ,when someone conducts themselves with such grace, composure, and restraint in a house built on chaos, people can’t digest it. They start convincing themselves that no one can be this patient, this calm, this dignified. So, they keep searching for cracks, for some evidence that proves he’s pretending.
What they don’t realise is that their very desperation to find fault only highlights how admirably consistent Gaurav has been. The fact that they have to dig so deep to invent flaws says everything about how beautifully he’s carried himself - with dignity, sensitivity, and a rare steadiness that’s almost uncomfortable for others to accept...
