Hi Gardes, thanks for responding. I am a big fan of yours from the CB forum.
I think you hit the nail on the head here. To me the conversation today between Guddu and Runjhun was the most real conversation they have had. And, as Wafah states, indicates the huge distance between them. Today Guddu looked at Runjhum for her rebuke. He wanted her to say that what he did was wrong, or maybe he craved acceptance from her that maybe he was NOT all wrong. Unfortunately Runjhun could only see the pain that he caused Dadima and that indeed overshadowed any other response that she may have had to this situation. She mentions that Dadima was so happy and that it is ruined. Guddu reacts angrily knowing that he is being held up against a standard that he can never live up to. I thought his plea to Runjhun to see him as a human was very real and sad. She could only see all that he was not. Runjhun only saw his comments as a slap against Dadima and she became very defensive too.
Even when Guddu says he does not care about the business, that he did it for punishment hurt R. But taken another way, Guddu is saying that he so already stepped out of his comfort zone FOR HER.
CV's created a beautiful scene as we are seeing the turmoil of these characters. I have to say the chemistry of the scene with these two actors is superb. Guddu has a habit of getting very close to Runjhun when he wants her to respond to him. He hates being ignored and close physical proximity is intimidation. But today, after he hears her talk about Dadima, he gets close to her and I felt he was asking her to see him. But alas R's mind was already with Dadima and Dadima's pain.
Awww, Jpal. Thanks. Yeah, CB forum was fun at one point. Such funny stuff and discussions took place there! I love, love the people there but I just cannot bring myself to get involved in the show. I do miss the old group. So here I am bugging Wafah, et al.
In today's confrontation between R and G, I felt G's pain for the first time Up until now I saw his fascination of her, his arrogance, or his "flipness" at not taking her seriously, but today G felt rejection of himself at R's hands and my heart broke. He wanted to be understood for his actions, wrong as they may be. I don't think he was affected by their bringing up his past as much as them bringing up his present - taunting him about the gifts for the "girls" (the guy used a word I don't much care for in Hindi language).
She said yesterday that don't you ever NOT react if someone says something unpleasant and I know that conversation and the fight with the thugs would be connected to cause a misunderstanding. This time Guddu had every right to blast at her. He clearly understood that this whole charade is for her Amma and he fails to please Runjhun, HIS dharampatni. Her priorities needed to be questioned.
He did not mean what he said about the business because he cared enough to hand over the papers to her for safekeeping. Like a typical male, he uses off-hand comments or ill-placed humor to put his points across most of the time and when angry all bets are off.
Lets see what happens tomorrow.
