So power to him and his art to have a long ride yet! <br /><br />xxj.a.z.z.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13018956209890955023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868805483474971603.post-35716238444890086352012-07-13T14:22:09.988+02:002012-07-13T14:22:09.988+02:00hey jazz!

But I must say you are truly an amazing writer I have come across. Word to this lady- i mean it exactly..<br /> At more points than not, in his scenes, Mohan somehow lends sense to those who're sharing the screen with him.<br /><br />The scenes where he is with any random or prominent character make sense to me and provides sense to the other character and story too..I feel this quality is inherent in Kunal and Mohan Bhatnagar. <br /><br />I am fortunate and proud enough to notice Kunal on the very first promo and there is no looking back afterwards. I had noticed him in his previous show Pratigya and once his role got over,I stopped watching the show.It was not consciously done..just could not connect to the story later..all mundane dramas which is not so mundane in my opinion..that was the time when I did not even know his name. but could see him randomly in TV circuit at some or the other place. <br /><br />I am not a phangurl who will keep cheering even if the act or story does not make sense.But I do get peace and smile when I watch Kunal on screen. I can always connect to him as an artist.<br /><br />I had just forgotten that I have been watching Mohan Bhatnagar since last 6 months and can not remember when he became a life of NBT.When Mohan and Kunal merged, its little difficult for me to differentiate.You are right what you said about maintaining a balance.the dedication, the understanding towards this character in Kunal shows..But he is little different from Mohan and this appears in his interviews to me. The kind of little aloofness, little lightheartedness and no-nonsense makes me really connect to him as a person..Kudos to Kunal for bringing life to Mohan Bhatnagar..wish him all the best for raising his own bar and growing leaps and bounds as an actor..Palshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07305896070638469484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868805483474971603.post-49723728177429670262012-07-11T19:29:43.908+02:002012-07-11T19:29:43.908+02:00Thank you Swapna and a big hug!!!

Wanted to link it direct up to Kunal - as i was telling Nur yesterday, what keeps an artist striving to be an artist before a breadwinner - in my opinion - is a muse, and the response. And with what he's pulling off consistently, Kunal deserves to know exactly what's being perceived on the other side. With so much critique rounding up the show for all the legit reasons - he's the one factor still holding fort from strength to strength - and it's only fair that he know we can see that and appreciate it so much... right?! =)) Like I was telling Nur, I just wanted him to read this - for his record and keeps. And hold onto it, because one part of the audience is, even in the middle of losing much faith!j.a.z.z.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13018956209890955023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868805483474971603.post-17999485478220811732012-07-11T11:05:23.527+02:002012-07-11T11:05:23.527+02:00Word to what you said about Mohan being the glue w...Word to what you said about Mohan being the glue who will be charged with this task time and again - he's their ace and saving grace at once...

I guess solemn notes somehow reflexively warrant that - even between us - don't they?! In my own odd-fangled ways I totally LOVE how you're always Nur, except when it "really matters" - which is when Anu just slips in! Just adds to the weight of the real name for me - like something only preciously used! =)) Man, I'm such a hugely random person, it doesn't even make sense to me half the times! <br /><br />And word to what you said about Kunal puring everything into his art, taking sincere and honest to JUST ANOTHER LEVEL. When was the last time, right? It's hard to let go of a winning project like LTL as MR did because his art is not being satisfied - but it's also another level of hard sticking around and making sense where it is so spaz! If it was just about "bread n butter" it would not come off at another level of sincere as you say. The obligation would become apparent, inevitably! But I do believe what makes Kunal stick around is his own singular will to make this work. And contrary to whatever logic and contentions, I can't wish but for it to happen - whatever miracles are about and however dim their scope! <br /><br />On a personal level, I would be MR any day! I don't have the Kunal in me to stay I guess - but there is a part of me which would honestly and candidly want to learn to be Kunal sometimes... Just 2 different ways of "striking" a difference, right? *tying hanky knot with you* that NBT may somehow, sometime strive to become worthy of such an artist again! <br /><br />And Anu ji, I have only you to credit for "big fans" - given how my being on IF is synonymous with meeting you and the rest becoming history...! *hugs*j.a.z.z.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13018956209890955023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868805483474971603.post-88561144968690672362012-07-10T22:58:52.131+02:002012-07-10T22:58:52.131+02:00I saw that Zapho, and that you linked the thread o...I saw that Zapho, and that you linked the thread on Twitter too - thank you for always being such an encouraging support! <br /><br />xxj.a.z.z.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13018956209890955023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868805483474971603.post-61836895794669274462012-07-10T22:58:03.364+02:002012-07-10T22:58:03.364+02:00Ah, I'm glad you got back here and made those ...Ah, I'm glad you got back here and made those points Spandy, cause it seems we just have a communication gap here! So,<br /><br />1. I actually preceded that first statement you quote after an "if he was another actor" - which implies that in Kunal's case, I assume he's not like the others and WOULD be bothered by distortions! And so what you and I are saying, is the same - that his regard for Mohan is too great for him to "overlook" inconsistency! <br /><br />2. And here, my reference was entirely in terms of the "roles" he had been offered, NOT what HE made of them! For one, like I said in my most, my discovery of Kunal has started with Mohan so I've not really gone back to watch his older shows, i think my bias from now would always be too great. But for another, while I'm sure he did justice in his place to any and every role that came his way, or he wouldn't have grown into the Kunal he is today - it IS sad that he was offered primarily substandard and compensating roles! And that's all I meant to say - Mohan changes that. He gets a role - not just as a protagonist - but as a character where he's NOT being typecast, but being taken on because HE would make that character come to life! =) <br /><br />I hope I made better sense clarifying the points - thanks again for your comments and input! xxj.a.z.z.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13018956209890955023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868805483474971603.post-87937732568169395692012-07-10T18:45:23.733+02:002012-07-10T18:45:23.733+02:00JZ!! i just came across this on twitter.

I have yet to catch up on last week's NBT and haven't seen that 9th of July episode obviously but WORD WORD WORD at everything you say about Kunal. I have lost complete interest in NBT but I still get pulled in to watch it at times for Kunal's Mohan. In fact, Mohan is the only reason I sit through the 20 minute show these days. <br />Alrighty, I'm off to catch up on last week's Mohanisms and of course this 9th July episode. <br /><br />~ AmyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868805483474971603.post-51137787751437776722012-07-10T18:09:08.305+02:002012-07-10T18:09:08.305+02:00JZeee!

Kunal's impeccable performance yesterday has left the masses speechless and gawk-eyed. I have long been in awe of his his ability to wear Mohan like a second skin. Yesterday was simply an affirmation. I'm glad others feel as I do about the character metamorphoses we've seen across the board in the previous weeks. For now, I'm relieved that Sonal Gantara is back in the driver's seat, so to say. Mohan IS the glue that holds it all together, and I believe he will be charged with this task time and again. KKK's conviction will only make Mohan's task that much easier. As for the man behind the 'mask', he seems to rise higher with each day, each performance. To think - this is just the tip of the iceberg. Whether it be the remainder of NBT, or a new conquest in the future, KKK promises to deliver so much more. Extra innings?
