Magical Smile

Today I had a horrible start of the day, wokeup by a nightmare, that left me upset. And even after trying to keep myself busy, it happened to haunt me. After trying everything, I finally started watching NBT, coz studying in that state of mind was next to impossible,  started with epi of 17th april2012, the starting of farm house sequence, and by the end of the epi, seeing that smile of Mohan Bhatnagar, all my fears, went pooofff... "Kahan Ja rahe ho Mohan?? Nayee nayee biwi, bache aur sasu maa se itni jaldi chutkara nahin milne wala." And than there is this cutsiee, notrious smile and expressions on everyone's (Mohan, Nanhi, Jijibua, Megha) face and those adorable expressions of Addu, did not fail to bring my smile back, and leave me smiling.
Fans of Kunal and NBT know what I mean. How can one not smile after watching that adorable smile of Mohan.
And Kunal's acting is just fantabulous as always, even english scholar would fall loss of words to describe the awesomeness of his acting.. As we Kunalians say for him "Har adaa hai qatilana".
I dont know if anyone has noticed this before or not, but Mohan has different type of smile for every diffrent character/situation.. Like in the epi of 17/04 at the end, when he sees Nanhi first, there is this friendly smile, and as soon as Megha enters in the frame, that friendly smile is transitioned to a dreamy, romantic smile. And than again a soft transition of expressions on seeing Addu, from dreamy smile to "ufff" expressions but again as he turns to Megha he smiles thoughtfully, naughtily.
And when Megha suddenly asks him "Kaisi lag rhi hun mai aaj??" There is reappearence of that romantic and dreamy smile.
Ufffff <3 <3 How does this man manage to get these superb expressions, iski har smile mai bhi raaz chupe hote hain.
And than there are those well written, well directed and extraordinarily enacted romantic scenes at farm house. In this era of Indian television, we hardly get to see any aankhon hi aankhon mai baatein, but NBT has brought that extremely romantic look back, where eyes do all the talking, using words there is like interrupting an most romantic conversation. Those intense looks of Mohan while looking at Megha, during the dance scene with 'Dramiyaan' playing in background, or while saying "Sach toh ye hai, sahara inhen mujhse nahin, mujhe inse mila hai, Pyaar inhen mujhese nahin, mujhe inse hua hai" these beautiful dialogues, were even more beautifully delievered by Kunal.
And how can I forget the scene where Mohan first realises his love for Megha, where he and Megha are narrating their cooked up love story for Rashmi, we witness another brilliant dialogue delivery and transition of expressions of Mohan there.
With the dialogue*** "Pata hi nahin chala kab aapk kahayalon main jeene ki adat si pad gaye, pata hi nahin chala kab dil itna majboor ho gaya, aur pata chalta bhi toh mai kya kar leta? Kyunki sach toh ye hai ki jab bhi aap mere saath hoti hain tab sab acha lagta hai, life achi lagti hai, simple suljhi hui zindagi, Shayad sab kuch nhi, bt ab aur kuch ki zarurat bhi nahin. Chahe kitna bhi bura din kyun na bita ho, lekin aapko ek baar muskurata hua dekh lun toh sab bhool jata hun, aur jab jab app dukhi hoti hain, udaas hoti hain, toh apna kuch yaad hi nhin rehta mujhe. Haan ye sach hai, ki aapse dur rehne ki koshish karta hun, darta hun kyunki jb bhi aap mere saath hoti hain toh dil karta hai ki bol dun, ki "haan mai aap se pyaar karta hun", lekin keh nahin pata kyunki shayad aapko khone ka darr aapko paane ki khushi se kahi zyada hai" ***   not only there is change of expressions from funny, supressive smile to intensely romantic looks, but also unbelievable voice modulation too.
Few months back, NBT started as Nenjum Pesuthae, dubbed in Tamil, and so we got had more NP/Kunal fans, mostly of them are non hindi speaking viewers, but few loved the show and Kunal so much that they watched the show in hindi on youtube, coz according to them, while watching dubbed version they were missing superb dialogue delivery of Kunal, which they obviously didnt want to. Such is the charisma of Kunal that no one can escape his charm.
No wonder, we all diehard Kunal fans, are waiting the news of his onscreen return with the bated breath. Hope we get to see this fantabulously stupendous peformance of Kunal in a new show, in new avtar really soon.
