Yes of course concept soulmates doesn't limit itself to romantic relationships at all but GK have that UST as a result of that soul mate connection which means that these two do have that romantic chemistry too.

Exactly...like I said in my previous post...if Vasant had not died, then yes G and K would have still been soulmates but more like best friends devoting their entire life to Vasant whom they loved SO much.

But because the story explores this on a deeper level by adding in the tragedy of Vasant's death, that changes everything...that was what solidified G and K's bond in a whole another sense...that tragedy brought them closer and made them each other's only lifeline left...further solidified by the DV and then ofcourse the rest of the circumstances playing out EVOLVED their relationship...

Like Kesar once told Gulaal...he's ALWAYS loved her...only that love has EVOLVED with time...how he loved her when he was 12 is obviously different from how he loves her now...the only constant thing is that his world always has and always will revolve around her...when he was 12, she was his best friend, guardian, confidante, playmate...when he eventually grew into the man he was meant to be, that love took on deeper shades, the romantic element as you said...all of this ofcourse in keeping with the circumstances that shaped both their lives...that love was a constant and yet it DID evolve...a bit of a paradox maybe but that's how it seems to me...it is still evolving for Gulaal...

To tell you the truth neither have I read the book, but I've watched the movie like a hundred times. I suddenly remembered the movie while reading Jzee's post. The thing I remembered most from the film was , "What if?"

I like what everyone is saying in their posts nothing much to add . It is as if all are speaking with one voice that Kesar is Gulaal's destiny and vice-versa.


btw it's angel68 and not '98😊

^Agree Nur. Every phase has evolved their relationship and you can tell how their relationship has progressed to where it is right now. It was meant to happen this way. Even if Dushyant hadn't killed Vasant, something or the other would have happened to remove him to make way for GK because obviously 10 years back it was impossible for them to have the relationship they will eventually have so God made them wait 😛 Kesar may have been 12 years old and she 21 when they met but these soulmates had to wait for a decade to come together on earth.

Sorry about the typo. It was a typo, I swear.😃 I've corrected it now. Going a little off topic, my one gripe about the film was the hand holding scene. And sure enough when I read about the film, I found out that the actors were not happy with it either. It was shot using "hand doubles" and added in after the test screening audience wanted a clear implication of a romance. 🤢

They do give her the maroon and generally dark coloured lenghas when her character has that mature feel (when Kesar first returned and when she came back in to the house again for 3 month trial period) but when she's genuinely happy, the brighter colours come. So they have taken her moods in to consideration.

Really?! Wow! That's news to me...! Interesting, I need to go back watch the stuff to notice the doubles... I'm personally always the one for books over movies, but there are exceptions. Gulaal is making that exception HUGE!

I sound SO cheesy 🤣

LOL it might sound cheesy but it's true...that wait was destined...everything was leading towards a larger purpose...and that is why things fell into place the way they did.


@Jzee: LOLL seriously she truly should be banned from that lehenga...I literally groan each time I see her back in it but have to resign myself to it😆


@Reemz: Waise has she ever repeated the lehenga she wore the day Kesar came back home?? I don't think she has...every other one she repeats quite often...

I searched, but can't find the mentions online now. I specifically remember reading Samantha Mumba expressing her disappointment about the hand holding. But if you watch that part again, you will see that you don't see the actors holding hands. Just a close up shot of two hands. .

Most of the movies does deviate from the original work of the book, which somehow has diminished the appeal of most of the films for me.

Anyways I brought the quotes here just to illustrate the timelessness of the Gulaal Kesar love story.
