Well todays episode was a surprise. I wasn't expecting such a dramatic reaction from Kesar. Kind of freaked me out....and thats something. Excellent acting from both Gulaal and Kesar. Tali has a long way to go before catching up to the rest.
The episode started off with Kesar bedroom scene. And him grabbing the letters. This was expected he would not want Gulaal to know that he has been secretly replying back to her. Its kind of interesting that he kept the letter...I am sure these letter are going to come up again sometime later.
Note point did anyone notice that Kesar was very aware of Gulaals touch each time. The first touch in the bedroom when Gulaal was telling him about remembering him had no resentment in it....more of an awareness. The rest....
Also Kesar asking if Gulaal missed him....Gulaal's talking about his family missing him softened him up a little...but he still more interested in Gulaal missing him. Deep down he is still looking for his Gulaal bond and cares about her and wants to know she missed him as much as he missed her (Poor girl she already told him yesterday how much he missed him) So kind of childish of him. Then Gulaal talks about Vesant....And wow what a change... those soft looks turns to resentment.
They do say there is a thin line between love and hate....
Kesars reaction to Gulaal switches dramatically from love to hate....admiration/sweet bond to resentment..
I am wondering what Kesar really resenting. Does he somehow blame Gulaal for Vesant murder...and maybe she was involved? Hates her for forgiving his brothers murderer? Hates her for being close to her husband murder? Hates her for breaking the pure image he had of her? Resents himself for still admiring and looking up to a person that forgave and kept his brothers murder safe? He has a lot of mix emotions.
I was expecting him not to wear the shirt from the precap....but burning it🤢....I am now worried about his mental state....carrying such a burden for 8 years can't be a good thing for a person.
Gulaal in the other hand is expecting and looking for the young Kesar. Still trying to clean up after him...choice his clothes....Doesnt looks like Kesar is liking it and his making it clear to her. Also his cold reaction is making Gulaal aware that he is not the old Kesar and confusing her why he hates her so much. I expect her to dig in and try finding out whats wrong later.
Kesar annoyance and making a statement with a different top was kind of childish. But he made the statement that he has changed loud and clear to Gulaal.
His annoyance with Tali was very apparent too. I think he thinks he's far too mature for childish games with Tali, and has his mind set on other stuff and his brothers death fresh in his mind.
But the change when Tali talks about the shirt....this guy really needs to short out his brothers death issue and fast....its eating away at him.Since he noticed that he went overboard with his behaviour with Tali and said sorry is shows that he has anger management problems.
He needs someone to understand him and deal with his mix emotions and somewhat childish behaviour. And I'm not totally sure Tali is up for it. Kesar scared her....expected after what he did....but notably she easily took it that he was joking and started smiling away again.
It will be interesting to see if she thinks and tries to analysis Kesar behaviour later or not.
She was still smiling away when the pandit bluntly said Gulaal is the wife and it wasn't her right to sit next to Kesar 🤢 ....If I was in her shoes I would be alittle weary atleast. But she was happy enough to sit on the other side. But I guess since the family does not really take the marriage as true she is not worrying about it. And she knows Gulaals feeling about the marriage.
Kesar had his eyes down and didn't make a comment on the wife business....I'm waiting to see what his view on the marriage hopefully soon. he didn't want to make a scene there and then. Doesnt know his own feelings about the marriage. Unless he has a plan which made him come back to the house?
Gulaal touch in the prayer....Kesar didn't like her touching him then. Very clear and even Gulaal felt his distaste hence the removal of hand and the worrying expression. He was kinda of annoyed of Tali's smiling face too. Looked like he wanted to leave but couldn't.
Today was a interesting development. I look forward to more. Looks like I have a back to back catch up of Gulaal I need to do to truly understand the characters.
What a long post dont think anyone will read it. Anyways thats just my views. Anyone interested in adding their own views? Anything I missed?
