Tears and a promise

The first scene was absolutely heartbreaking! Gulaal is still in shock and her ramblings get Kesar all worried but he lets her speak because he wants her to get it all out of her system. He tries to reassure her time and again that this is just a phase and everyone will calm down but Gulaal is doubting herself…she just cannot believe that she has gone wrong in all her decisions. Finally…her subtle confession…she wanted to keep everyone from burning in the fire that burnt her world…the simple truth about why she kept this secret from the family. Her acceptance and self doubt are scary to watch because we have always seen a confident and self assured Gulaal but this woman is breaking down in front of Vasant, in front of Kesar…she is literally a broken woman. Kesar looks scared…he grabs her , his voice breaking and tells her to let it all out….to cry…he begs her to cry and she does. Her wail is heartbreaking…it almost sounds like she is crying for her loss…her loss of Vasant and her loss of the family. Kesar supports her just like he has always supported her and he cries with her…he cries for her…

I love how nothing in this story is left untied. Gulaal had warned Kesar about his temper and finally he realizes why…his temper has brought her so much pain and anguish. I am not surprised Gulaal has fallen asleep…she must be physically and mentally exhausted. Kesar stands next to her and his tear drop falls on her cheek which he wipes away gently. He sits down next to her and sobs….how could his carelessness have caused so much pain to the woman he has loved so much…? What has he done? He slips into fb's on the confrontation and the scene where he accused Dushyant looms in front of his eyes….what has he done? He gazes at Gulaal through his tears and promises that no matter what..he will stand by her…and we have no doubt he intends to keep his promise…because such is his love for Gulaal….

What to say about that crying scene...
For the first time they cried together...for the horribility that destroyed their lives and yet bound them forever ...
Their heart ripped off, broke into several pieces as they cried for the man who bound them and his untimely and totally unfair death.
Of the times they faced this truth separately, of the times they wondered why are they into this and craved for each other's support, for having being subjected to the whole series of horror yet again...

And when he comes in and puts the blanket on her...she is sleeping an exhausted sleep..
The tear that dropped on her and he wiped it off...

It actually was symbolic...The tears he had given her.
His actions, his temper, his rage brought this on her ..
And the way he wiped it as if saying that he will ensure that he wipes every one of those tears.
He will be with her at every step now she takes...

Reserved - sorry I'll be back in a few - need to change places...

*edit*

Srush - echo you on that scene where his tear falls on her face and he wipes it away - I thought it was such a beautiful symbolism of how he's given her tears and how he's going to wipe them away! Kesar's screaming at her to get the pent up emotions out of her served the purpose - Gulaal, tear streaked, forlorn, and curled up - was still sleeping like a baby. She wasn't frowning, she wasn't smiling... she's got a struggle to put up ahead - and by helping her get all that she's been holding inside out, he's strengthened her to be able to face her tomorrow - which will be new, but not so bright so soon!

I especially like the promise he makes to her - it's not about taking away her pain, it's about bearing it by her side - equally. I keep saying, and shall say again, the most beautiful aspect of their relationship is how they are equals - in every respect.

The break down hug was unprecedented. In a house full of people who have loved and looked up to her, in a village where she has held this austere reverent hold over people... with parents as supportive as she's had... Gulaal has been a very lonely sole. Her life for a decade has been people of three kind - those who need her and depend on her; those who can help her, but she can never let them (read: Dushyant); and those, who have never wished or meant her well.

For the first time in Kesar - after all the initial struggle and midway angst - she has finally found someone who will support her like the pillar she is to people, the never failing, never falling kind! A pillar who even in his greatest fall will stand up as long as she needs him to, hold her by her side! The build up of two weeks, where Gulaal was letting him inside of her walls, then letting him take reign of things she had by default become singularly responsible for - it's all grown so steadily and credibly to this point where she now lets him support her at her weakest darkest moment - physically and emotionally... it reminds of the time he rushed to take the pot of hot water from her saying kitna garam aur bhari hai ye... kese karegi tu? her troubles at this point are just that - scalding hot and burning, and the burden oh so heavy for her shoulders which have weathered and over aged under the weight of her circumstances! Gulaal's reply at that point had been - mujhe ye sab karne ki adat hai... and Kesar back - jaanta hu, par ab se tu ye sab karne ke liye mujhe bula liya kar...

I like how the meaning of those words translates figuratively now... specially into this scene... where he steps in to take care of her 'hot and heavy' pot of trouble, and this time, she doesn't try to resist because she's used to doing it herself... she beckons him for help, without realizing, and he's right there!

You know when you have this mental block and you just don't know what to say or how to word what you wish to express? Well I feel like that today.

We got days of brillance from NB, SS and MJ. Today was Manasi's turn (with great support from NB) and damn she left me speechless. How is this woman not even nominated in the BA category? We really do live in ghor kalyug.

Today Gulaal lost everything. It hit her...hit her HARD. The house, the family which she never looked beyond have all turned away from her. The self-assured woman suddenly became so insecure of herself. She questioned every action of hers which she committed to protect her family! Despite having the best intentions at heart, she is being called a CHEAT. Manasi's wide-eyes, jittery movements got me all freaked out because it all felt so genuine. I kept wondering what is she going to do?!

When Gulaal starts losing it, Kesar holds her (no he doesn't shake and slap like we see in every other show/movie). He tells her to cry...cry and let it ALL out! What I witnessed after that was simply excruciating pain which Gulaal had kept within her for 10 whole years. That suffocation, those burdens which had built over time all were left out.

How did she do that? She firmly pushed her head against her wall i.e. Kesar. He stood there and let her take out all the pain. What MINDBLOWING acting! Then that sob, it was freakish! Dear television bahus, want to learn how to act? Please give Manasi Parekh a visit. Not to forget Neil who really supported her like Kesar did to Gulaal. There were some outstanding expressions from both of them.

Just watch the scene and absorb the emotions! Whatever I say today, will NOT be enough!

Heartwrenching. Just when you think this show can't get better, when you think the actors can't top their previous performances, when you think Gulaal-Kesar's bond cannot get more beautiful...you get scenes like todays!

The most wow moment for me was when Gulaal pressed her head against Kesars SO HARD. You know when you build up so much angst, frustration inside you and you just want to punch someone to let it all out? Today, Kesar just stood there while Gulaal let out all the pain.

Oh the beauty of this show mesmerizes me!

She had to let it out, all that she has kept it - even when she was trying to keep it in, the way she was talking and going on, even though she was making sense in why she did what she did, she was still holding that cry and pain in
Heart-wrencher of a scene and to see Gulaal like this, so broken - so hurt, everything crashed around her, her strength gone - that everything she did, mounted to nothing when you know how much she fought and kept going and exist after Vasant and for the family
As you say no words can be enough to describe it and the pain of Gulaal also
Manasi 👏👏
