Mahabharat, Star Plus, Last episode

This episode simply rocked! The scene between Krishna and Gandhari was beautifully written and beautifully picturized. I especially liked what Krishna says to her after she breaks down and apologizes for cursing that his entire clan will soon perish. He tells her - 'I am your enemy but I am your friend. I am your son as well. I cursed Ashwathama but I am the one who is experiencing his pain'. And then he adds 'Over the years I have accepted the blessings from mothers. So today I accept a mother's curse'.

I am not much given to theatrics. But it was as if the dialogue brought out the very essence of Krishna. Hats off to the person who wrote the lines! And hats off to the actor who played Krishna's role. :-)
