502 DAYS (and counting)

1 year 4 months and 15 days  (and still counting)  
Yups, I can not believe it either,  but its been this long since our television sets saw the sunshine, the sunshine that appeared in the form of Kunal Karan Kapoor, whose smile traveled through TV screens in to our hearts and made our days brighter (even in the dullest mood of all times).
Meanwhile, some of us while waiting have deviced our own ways to over come that gloominess that had set in our hearts post 12th September 2013. Some of us have successfully overcome that to a great  extent by getting hooked to other TV shows and enjoying other TV actors. But there are few of us, who could not enjoy TV anymore. Every actor seems to be lacking something or the other, no actor can match Kunal's level of perfection. I should say Kunal has raised that bar of perfection  to such level that now its hard for any other actor to reach even near that.

After my last breakdown post NBT watching, I had sworn not to watch NBT again and I maintained that promise of mine, until now, but retelecast of NBT on Rishtey brought back many NBT related posts on my timeline and even after resisting a lot I found myself sitting in front of computer and watching NBT from episode one and after few episodes am here again after a hiatus of 4 months. No matter how many times you have watched that show, its still refreshing. It still makes you smile, still makes you go "awww" over Spiderman-Chawanni scenes, still makes you laugh hard on Guru's "Sadda Haq" 'jhaddu' dance and most importantly it makes you fall in love with Mohan Bhatnagar all over again.

Kunal has some magnetic quality in his acting, in his smile and in his eyes, that once you start watching him it becomes impossible to control yourself after just one episode. Just when you think you are over him, you are no more suffering from Kunal Mania, and BOOM, there he comes in front of you in some hot pic, or some clipping and you are back to square  one. You become that same head over heel crazy pankhi once again.  Therefore after trying to get over Kunal Mania a million times in last days 502 days I have given up hope of being cured of Kunal Mania.. 

I do not know how long this wait is going to be, coz as we know still some quality work is missing from Kunal's life, as he said.  But one thing that is certain is, however long this wait is, its going to be painful, its going to be tough, but also at the end its fruit is going to be a sweeter one. Watching Kunal once again on our TV in a role that HE thinks is worth doing, will be such a delicious treat for our eyes and this painful wait will be totally worth it.
