Mishal is an actor that I can't and won't compare with anyone, regardless of how "legendary" the other is. For me, Mishal is simply one of a kind. He may have found inspiration in other movies/actors, but he is his own. He has his own unique style and, honestly, the man has a gift. Some legendary actors have struggled to become as good as they are, but Mishal has had something in him from the very beginning. In a young age, he has (acting-wise) achieved more than most Bollywood actors have. To me, that's a fact.
I can tell you who Vinnay reminds me of in acting or another actor on the show - but Mishal? No, he reminds me only of Mishal. He's unique when it comes to acting. There's something there, a power, an intensity, that for most actors takes years to find (and some never find it), but he just has it in him. He has an X-factor that I've never seen in anyone else and I'm crazy obsessed with Johnny Depp. Still, Mishal... no, can't be compared.
The man is simply a diamond that is yet to be discovered by the right people, so they can take him to higher places and reward him for his brilliant performances. In truth, it's Bollywood's loss. And it's my gain.
Sorry, just had to pour my heart out here, because comparing him to anyone, anyone at all (even if the actor is supposedly legendary), just doesn't make sense to me...
