Long time lurker, first time poster on these forums. I can't but feel coerced into admitting that I really want Dushyant and Gulaal to end up together- which I know is a long shot and certainly playing in the minds of the creatives. Maybe my assertion is premature seeing that I really didn't follow the serial up until a month or so ago, thereby I am blinded from the past happenings with regards to the whole Gulaal-Kesar-Dushyant saga. Nonetheless, the fact that Dushyant's character has morphed into someone who is ever repenting, besegied by remorse so much so that he has finally gotten control of the real him, who was once enveloped by the more manipulative, charlatan, repulsive psyche, is one commendable feat. And this bolstered by the fact that his newly found outset is not serving any selfish purpose - as ostentious as putting on a gilded show to rake in some attention from Gulaal - makes his character seem all the more convincing, all the more moulded after much turbulence. His outlook is infact so much maturer, laden with assertiveness, with altruism and maybe even a desire to outdo his dark past. I do believe he may very well be fighting off any such feelings of love he retains for Gulaal, tucking them away deep down his heart, like a letter he'd never wish to lay out to her. I especially loved his dialogue with Mota Ba, wherein he acknowledged that to err is only human; that spoke volumes about the inevitable fact that you only learn and appreciate by way of experience. Sometimes that journey can be rickety, but what matters is the outcome or how you consolidate that in your book of life.
Ofocurse it would be a folly on my part to assume or pine for a relationship against the backdrop of a positive, altruistic mindset of one of the partner. In fact, the idea is that this whole positive aura about Dushyant has vaulted him to a whole new mantle of someone you know has learnt his lesson, as someone you know is repenting therefore is worthy of your trust and faith, but most importantly, someone who never was a bad person, rather overwhelmed and doused in an obsessive love that he only saw red when he ascertained foul play in the face of Gulaal's marriage to Vasant.
