Wonderful responses from everyone...loved reading every single one of them.
The topic of Dutta for some reason never gets old. We all have a lot of empathy -- among other things 😳 😆 -- for him. I think this is empathy thing is key. He's one of those people you want to be happy. You could not want anything more for the character than for him to have what he holds most dear and as was mentioned, needs.
The character is generally honorable, a good guy, tempermental and complicated. It's like a moth to a flame...it's almost innate for ladies and people in general to get caught up in a person/character like this. Like real life.
But I echo your sentiments. It'll be so satisfying to see him REALIZE, I mean really REALIZE, perhaps for the first time in his life, that he is loved very very much. He' Most of us have that point in our lives, whenever that is or whenever it comes. And iit changes so many things. All I know is that Dutta is going to have a huge smile on his face once he starts feeling love in him.
I'm getting way too sentimental/philosophical about this. 😆 Damn gadha! 😆
