Perfectly Imperfect

Open shirt over a t-shirt, open shoe laces, messed up hair, chewing gum,blue helmet,  "areyyy yaar" , "ayeee sunnaa" ,"mmmast hai"...  Yeah right am trying to picturise Mohan Bhatnagar. Mere mention of these few characteristics and Mohan is the first person to pop up in our mind.
The other day a friend of mine  was roaming around with open shoe laces and my instant reaction was " abey, kya Mohan types  shoe laces khule hain tere"
'Arey yaar' and 'sunna' were a part of normal lingo before even but saying it in Mohan's signature way has become a style.
"Chawwani" just meant 25paise before but now it means 'Nanhi'.
At times my friends do ask me whats special about this character that you have gone so crazy for it? And I guess thats a fair question to ask when you see someone going crazy for a fictional character.
Ques may appear simple one but believe me its tougher to answer than  you can even imagine. Its really difficult to pinpoint just one reason why one should love him. Because there is just not a single reason why you 'shouldn't' love  Mohan.
But let me try to sum up the reasons why I am so in love with him.
To start with it, the first one would be " Its a realistic character". Yeah you heard it right. I know expecting a fictional character(that too of Indian television) to be realistic is an unrealistic thing in itself, BUT its true. One can say that its an (wonderfull) exception because its a 'guy a next door' character
I guess its realistic because its not perfect at all. He is flawed in his own ways. If I say in one line "He is perfectly imperfect" . Its the character that one can  easily relate to.
And Kudos to Sonal  Ganatra Ma'am for writing this awesome character.
And now THE MAIN REASON WHY MOHAN IS SO LOVED IS THAT,  ITS PORTRAYED SO FANTABULOUSLY FANTASTIC  BY KUNAL KARAN KAPOOR..  The small nuances he added to the character made it more real. The way he emoted Mohan flawlessly was just mindblowing. Every scene was enacted so well. His acting made the character lively.
For instance the scene after Mohan  saves Megha from Prateek sir (Jannat resort) , the frustration,confusion,sadness of Mohan was emoted so well. The helplessness of Mohan of not being able to comfort Megha was emoted so well just by expressions.. No dialogues needed, no *voice in the head* needed to show that. Awww... How can one not fall for that fantastic portrayal..Mohan megha scene1 Mohan Megha scene2 (credit of video to the uploader)
Or be it a scene with Nanhi on terrace where she is enacting Mohan. His expressions are so realistic..That amazement (of seeing nanhi act so well)  was expressed just by his eyes and smile..

These are just two instances,But I can list 'n' number of scenes like these, where everything was expressed just by his eyes.. No dialogues needed.. I am sure here writer would agree with me that Kunal saves the work of dialogue writer by emoting everything  so beautifully just by his expressions. And when dialogues added to those expressions it becomes pure magic. Once in one of his interview Kunal mentioned that the best compliment he has got is by his writer that "He does complete justice to the dialogues written by him". And indeed its  200% true
.
SO THE FINAL CONCLUSION- REASON BEHIND GALS GOING CRAZY FOR MOHAN IS
1. Absolutely mindblowing description of character by Sonal ma'am
2. Phenomenal acting by  supremely talented Kunal Karan Kapoor.. 


Kudos to you both for giving us  "unforgettable Mohan Bhatnagar" who redefined being perfect..
