it was quite painful

Well yesterday's episode sure started out well enough. We got more of Kunal's self-talk exposing his vulnerabilities and what Siddhi means to him. But the whole court scene was just too painful.

I am talking about how Seema first manipulates Kunal with coming to court and fighting the case thing using AC. Wow, just when I thought family can't get any worse, CVs prove me wrong. Well but it was very hard to see form part where Kunal puts his coat on. Boy, doesn't anyone see how pathetic it was? I saw a desperate broke man trying to make someone else happy but he was so scared. His pain, vulnerability was just so evident. Asking for file, trying to look over it hoping everything will be fine but deep down he knows and fears it won't. It got even more painful when Kunal walks in court-room. It was like a fearsome child walking alone in dark forest. Again a broken man, fearing where is he and what will happen? I still can't believe his family is not able to see this. 9 years he stayed away from this place; don't you think there has to be a god damn reason? But they talk about his ego? What he's just going to walk in like a lion and roar?

of course goes without saying Sameer sir was absolutely perfect there. Can't imagine anything so real. But such a painful scene to see KC in such state. Don't even want to imagine what may come tomorrow as looking at past records; don't remember when was last time anything good took place for SINAL.

Based on the WU that I read, Kunal was in a lot of emotional pain and even though his performance was superb, don't you folks think that SiNal have gone through a lot of pain already? Where is the light at the end of the tunnel.. they seem to be falling down in a bottomless pit..

While yesterdays episode was painful i loved it because it helped me realize that Kunal Chopra had given up legal practice twice- but for two very different reasons. The first time round he had retained his arrogance and had stopped running in the rat race because he believed that a lion like him doesnt need to run in the rat race.Even in his comeback case against Sidhi he was roaring like a lion. Of course the fact that he had time for preparation didnt hurt the situation. But yesterday for the first time I saw a broken man, a vulnerable man who was scared to enter the court that had taken away eveything from him, Its not his arrogance that ahd prevented him from practicing all these years, it was his fear and lack of self belief. I am glad that yesterdays episode made that clear. Because I like this Kunal Chopra better than a Kunal Chopra who had given up his practice again out of arrogance..

This vulnerability adds another dimension to this complex character of Kunal Chopra. And of course Kudos to Samir Soni for bringing out the pain and pathos in Kunal's life
