Kunal yesterday

But yesterday's episode has once again urged me to write my longgg, boring and torturous analysis of my favorite Kunal. After such a long time I enjoyed seeing Kunal with original attitude.

His dialogue about Parichay was truly amazing as that's how it use to be; Kunal questioning his Parichay. But what was really most important during whole episode was so called industrialists questioning Kunal. They asked many question many of us had. Such as what good of lawyer is he if he couldn't save his wife. Where did his skill as Gold-medalist lawyer go; with his wife and etc. While they were insulting Kunal; he didn't say a word. Reminded me of first week of Parichay when Gaurav accused Kunal for holding them back. Kunal knew Gaurav was right, hence he didn't say anything. So are we to assume Kunal too thinks whatever those men said about his skill as a lawyer is true?

Did Kunal abandoned practicing law as he felt he failed big time as a lawyer when he couldn't save Siddhi? Is he ruining his life as he feels he failed as husband by not protecting his wife from jail and this is his way of punishing himself? For 9 years he doesn't do much or we don't know what really took place. But does Kunal's silence on the matter means he feels he's a failure as lawyer and husband for not being able to get Siddhi out? If he can't save his wife, what's the point at all?

The reason I say his silence may mean his belief on matter because when he heard Siddhi being called "bewafaa" which we all know she isn't; Kunal just jumped. He took everything on his name but not on Siddhi. Means Kunal doesn't believe Siddhi betrayed him and so no one has right to say anything against her? But they can badmouth him as he too believes it's true?

I don't know if this is just my wishful thinking or CVs playing with us. But given Kunal's history; he remained silent on matter he felt he was at fault. So what we see right now, Kunal taking few steps back is self-acknowledged guilt ride on his part for doing or not doing anything for Siddhi? If that is true, then it is a good start. I mean one factor that attracted us towards Kunal was him being aware of his fault and accepting them like a man.

I raise this issue as there is one major question in my mind. Why is Kunal in such situation of no job, drinking, gambling and all. In beginning we came to know Kunal had few failed attempts at career, he lost respect in community, Richa rejected him and lastly family didn't care much either. So his zest for life just didn't go away that easily. Here I am not sure what exactly happened. Pre-leap we saw he was working. Also Gaurav wasn't there. So what, after melodrama at temple Kunal came home and said he's not working anymore, starts drinking and gambling so better call Gaurav? He also drinks from his own money, so? Saying Kunal is in such state as Siddhi is no longer with him doesn't explain the whole situation to me.

Just like Parichay - 1; may we see some FB scene bringing light on this matter?

As for the slap I felt it was consisitent with Kunal's character. He can pretend to hate siddhi. But thats only a defence mechanism because he has been hurt so badly by what she did. But ihe would never allow a random man to call his wife bewafa.

Kunal is a complex person. He does things in extremes. When he was living with sidhi he was living life passionately. But when siddhi left him the whole world actually collapsed for him. He is only alive for his son. It isnt responsible behaviour at all but such extreme behavious is often exhibited by passionate people. I still want to see him act responsibly because they need to show some evolution in his character. How he can channelize his passions in a productive manner

the slap was sure consistent with his character. He is angry with Siddhi as anyone would; but no one else has any right to say a word against her. He had given it to Richa enough times and had stopped Veena in kind manner (but I would love him blasting at Veena once)

Kunal sure is a complex character and I have always said we need to look at his actions to really know what is happening. From day 1 he says he doesn't care and all that; but his actions suggest otherwise. Siddhi too have noticed that during whole divorce nonsense. Kunal doesn't express his true feelings or intentions unless it is extreme situation. Well of course he disn't have any problem in front of Siddhi after confession but now...

I still am not fully convinced he hates Siddhi, doesn't trust her or believes she tried to kill their son. He is confused and trying to go along with what everyone is saying but just can't. Let's wait

@sarakvp - yes it's all confusing. Kunal is a wild card and he only knows what he's thinking. We must wait and watch. So far we got khichadi of emotions and behaviors with ill talk about Siddhi. But I doubt he actually means it. With Kunal we must be patient; you never know what is coming but look at his actions not words. Yes words hurt a lot, but then Siddhi too was rude to him in jail.

About doing analysis on Richa, well we know she's a psycho. I am not saying in joking mood. If you look up "psychopathic tendencies" or checklist by Hare based on Clekly's idea; Richa would score quite high.

Some tendencies of a psychopath is; risk taking behavior, narcissism, inability to learn and evolve, parasitic relationship, impulsiveness, vast criminal activities and much more. All of these fit with Richa. If you want to know more, google 'psychopathy checklist" by Hare.

Coming back to your comment regarding his family not supporting him i would say what more support does he need from his family? His father and younger brother supported him after he broke with Richa. He worked for a while after his wedding with Siddhi but after that was again back to being VELA again.

His guilt should work in favour and make him strike even harder rather than sit with the bottle of liquor and do gambling at least not when he is a father of a nine year old kid.

What kind of role model he is to his son?

The show has done a nine year leap. It is called a decade and still CHOPRA house is in the same situation? Gaurav still looking for some job. Isn't a decade time long enough for a family to settle anywhere?

Jay - you are sounding something like this to me:

"It is only a foolish cock that believes the sun will not rise if it does not crow". I mean Siddhi has a role to play but we can not blame her absence for Mr. Chopra not to succeed.

Instead it would have been better if CVS portrayed something like below:

yes salman I too want to see that. Sulekha blocking Kunal would be just perfect as she is mysterious lady.

What we know so far is he's back to drinkign and gambling, he doesn't take money form others, he's not married to Richa. But why? Also what took place in last 9 years? All these questions are not answered yet and my hope is there is a good enough explanation. Just saying No Siddhi = No progress for Kunal in any way makes no sense to me
