Innocent is her soul and so is she.

It’s all in you, beautiful is the world if that’s the way you see… Innocent is her soul and so is she.. Sometime in chasing unknown we often bound to neglect what’s right in front of us. In our quest of Manik, somewhere we neglected her; who was equally responsible for creating this word, MANAN. This beautiful journey started with her fireflies only, a belief of true love ingrained somewhere deep inside her soul with her mother last memories. If Nandini Murthy is the character, than Niti Taylor is the actor who made this immaculate character possible.

Niti , an innocent childlike from heart, yet she manage to deliver like pro as matured self-righteous Nandini Murthy. Her dedication and passion for work at such young age, is definitely worth applause. From Gulaal to Kaise yeh Yaariyan, this girl has come long way, with her subsequent natural performances one after other and today she stands way ahead of all her contemporaries. A little extra touch of her real innocence is what made Nandini Murthy from ordinary to extraordinary character.

She didn’t act; she actually lived the character as Nandini Murthy, that’s where she made the difference. A punch from her to Manik was the moment where she first created ripples be it for audience, be it Manik’s heart. The gradual expression change from being vulnerable to holding on that inner strength and ultimately reacting with extreme anger, she killed every emotion of that scene with her amazing performance. From that punch to now, she has lived infinite moments as Nandini Murthy, and still breathing it every moment. Her second punch scene actually out shadowed her own first performance where she conveyed two strong emotions betrayal and deep hurt with equal finesse, and there she set a milestone as an actress.

Her talent definitely is not bound by any limits; she is coming across a very versatile actress every passing day. Her capacity as natural actor shocked everyone, when she made mark her in drunken Nandini scene. Hardly anyone can tell it was all her improvisation as an actor; she was not drunk at all. And this innocent actress didn’t go to any acting school, nor took acting class, rather use google to get that act right. Her innocent acceptance always leaves me with smile, just like her drunk scene. Her childlike innocence and sweetness always come across very nicely and touch my heart somewhere.
One of her most outstanding performances till date was her first love realization scene. From the moment of shock when she realizes that she does love Manik, to the trip down the memories of all the moments they lived together yet oblivion to depth of it, she aced each and every emotion in that scene. Her pain, pleasure, happiness, joy, whatever Nandini could feel in that moment, Niti Taylor expressed it. The way she portrayed that ultimate realization that her fireflies always glowed only for her Manik, from that innocent smile to heartfelt content her every expression left a strong imprint in our heart.

She is who never loses her childlike wonder, she is who is little bundle of talent, she is who love to show gratitude, and work hard. She is who is beautiful from the way she thinks, she is who is beautiful for that sparkle in her eyes, she is who is beautiful beyond temporary looks, she is who is beautiful deep down to her soul, she is according to me.

Only one of its kind and MaNan is the name.

Keep your brain world aside for little while
Work just from your heart for a little Smile.
Because Life happens in those little moments
When for a tiny desire you go an extra mile

Always listen to your heart, because your heart never lies.

Is that was the dialogue for what Kaise yeh Yaariyan fans did? Kaise yeh Yaariyan fans listened to their heart; they went too many extra miles; to fight for a little smile on their faces; which only Manan can bring for them. Their dreamy fairytale of Manik Nandini with its fireflies and stars definitely deserved a beautiful ending, as it was neither happy nor beautiful, they didn’t take it as ending. Finally their diligent efforts are paid off and Manik is back to complete their MaNan story. Their Happiness has no bound, from the time Manik is back news is all around.

What is Happiness? Someone will say it’s just state of mind with positive emotions. While other will reply it’s just a passing moment of a life. But for same query, expect an entirely different reply from any MaNan fan. A few minute sequence of Manik Nandini together is actually state of happiness for them. Happiness is little magical hug of Manik Nandini in today’s episode, for few it brought tears, for other’s it brought smile, but for all it touched some chord of their heart.

A few minute of this dreamy MaNan sequence, has so many beautiful symbolisms embedded in it. Manik Nandini are like two hearts one soul, and when one part of it was about to lose all her battles, other part of soul came to revive her that fighting spirit. And there enters a Manik, who conveyed “Listen to your heart because your Heart never lie”. Somewhere I felt that was meant for this fandom that actually listened to their heart and did everything from their heart, for their heart. And Nandini replied “I missed you so much. You were always there in every moment with me, Why did you go Why did you go?” I felt she echoed sentiments of same fandom that Manik you were there with us for every moment; we never allowed you to go, not even for a moment.

MaNan, your presence was happiness of our heart; your absence was void of our heart in short you are a now part of our heart. As heart wants what it wants, our heart wants MaNan and only MaNan. Happiness lies within, Beautiful is their every frame, only one of its kind and MaNan is the name.

One who never gives up, He is One of those.

It was not that he was alone... Its was not that he had no friend.. It was not that he was not living. It was just that there was so much darkness inside him, just a little star was enough to enlighten his soul and touch it like no one did.”.... Manik Malhotra 

Once upon a time there was a Monster Manik, a lost soul who was all alone, engulfed in darkness of his own. He was a broken heart whose anger was a facade to hide his pain. He was an innocent child, for whom love was nothing more than just a word. He was the Monster manik who was waiting for just one star to shine in his world.
The Manik Malhotra, for sure is very beautifully written and well crafted character of television. This flawed character have achieved new heights of glory, with outstanding acting skills of an actor who shined in every frame of story.
If expression is form of language than he be one fine linguist, As acting is form of art than he is one who is ARTIST. When the fine line between actor & character dissolve, that's when an artist evolve. So if Manik Malhotra was the character it was Parth Samthaan, the face living it. A Master of the language he is, that all his expressions flows flawlessly smoothly through his each and every performance. Every little nuisance, every strong emotion that Manik went through, for audience it was true, not because an actor was performing it, but because an artist was living it.
Sometime even lifetime is not enough and sometime just a moment is enough for entire lifetime. The moment that started the story of epic Manan, was when monster was slayed by unconditional care of someone. One of most impactful moment till date for me is after storeroom sequence, where Manik turned around to see Alya, but his eyes were rather fixated on innocent Nandini instead. Parth really nailed this scene with that intense portrayal of Manik where his eyes said it all, this is the moment where something is shifted in in Manik’s heart for forever.
If expression is the language in which he speak, then anger is one expression where he rarely goes weak. A punch from Dhruv to Manik was the moment, where he created first imprint of his strong emotive capability. The anger shown through his eyes within few seconds, due to mistrust from his buddy was so well portrayed by him. The intensity with which he express that extreme rage is enough to send shivers through your spine, a monster come alive in front of your eyes.
Anger is not a single emotion, rather its expression of different set of emotions sometime frustration, sometime pain, and sometime rage. One such track where he showed all shades of anger with ultimate finesse was during Nandini Kidnapping. The anger engulfed in pain and desperation was so well depicted by him. Each and every nuisance of anger was so well captured by his acting, where his expression flowed from his desperation to pain for Nandini, to ultimate rage against Pandit, with ease.
Words are finite, his acting skills are infinite, and so are shades of this impeccable character and the actor. His work is his voice, with which he speaks; Silence is the weapon against criticism he seeks; Hard work is key to success he definitely knows; One who never gives up, He is One of those.

IF Parth Samthaan is unprofessional so are you

WHY Media is so biased? A general question in everyone mind which probably none has any answer. There was golden era when newspaper was read for some real news not page 3 gossips. Nowadays every gossip mongering portal keep recycling same piece of gossip until it’s stale enough to be called as gossip. And the irony lies in the fact that the one who define redefine journalism in every bit of their articles have audacity to question everyone else PROFESSIONALISM.

Recently their lucky target is Mr. Parth Samthaan who is epitome of UNPROFESSIONALISM these days. According to few highly respective portals, he did signed Hawa Hawai three weeks back like once he signed Rani Mahal remake of Games of Throne. One of their biggest claims was show is entitled as Hawa Hawai and lead actress opposite Mr. Samthaan is Sonal Vengurlekar. But surprisingly this was even news for actress herself and she denied any association ever with show on twitter. And now lucky guy is already fired from 4lion show opposite actress Mahima Makwana of Dil ke baatien dil hee jaane. How much believable is your new piece when all your facts changes from one article to other. Seriously the word CONTRACT seems like status message nowadays post it, delete it, service at your convenience. Is this is your so called PORFESSIONALISM when your own articles are not consistent with any information other than your own definition of UNPROFESSIOLISM?

As per media article he was busy partying in Bangalore and missed his own preplanned photoshoot. But same unprofessional guy has already posted information about this trip atleast week before on his social networking site. But let’s not blame the most reputed production house for their own standard of PROFESSIONALISM where checking out schedule of respective actor for photoshoot is not mandatory. Is it matter of national security that the information he shared with entire world will hide from his own employer. Do you think its PROFESSIONAL on part of production house to fire the actor instead of scheduler?

Another interesting claim is his sudden unemployment is reason of his probable return to Kaise yeh Yarriyan season 2 soon. Is this selective news reporting is so-called PROFESSIONALISM? Being part of media, your obliviousness to this trend #MTVBringParthBack looks highly unrealistic. Fact is that fans has been trending #MTVBringParthBack from last 3 weeks to bring him back as Manik. The trend has crossed another milestone of 1.5 million mark and still going on. All around the world, hundreds of fan are calling and mailing both channel and production house to bring him back. Is this a conscious effort to ignore this piece of information from your article? Have you ever considered the possibility of him being interested in coming back because of immense love of fans?

Norman Mailer once said if a person is not talented enough to be a novelist, not smart enough to be a lawyer, and his hands are too shaky to perform operations, he becomes a journalist. Is this a quest on your part to prove him right?

PANI MYSTERY is MANAN CHEMISTRY

Because I have loved you for thousand years, I would love you for a thousand more. That was Manik Nandini  who were supposed to last forever till eternity. Beautiful Journey from Manik Nandini to Manan with their fireflies and stars was most well crafted fairytale for television till date. It was not just love story started with love-hate relationship in like any other Mills Boon style. Rather It was pure soulful love story, a dreamy fairytale created by RICHA YAMINI.  Richa’s vision and beautiful characterization of Manik Nandini combined with power packed performance of both PARTH NITI took MANAN where it stand today, way ahead of its contemporaries. A beautiful creative vision of Richa and strong portrayal from Parth Niti have created this magical word MANAN, a symbol of true love.

It’s not the breath that takes our moments away, its moments that take our breath away.  And MANAN journey was just beautiful collage of those infinite moments, which  Manik Nandini lived together, and so did audience. Reminiscing those moments sometime bring tears in your eyes and sometime bring smile on your face, and that’s the purity of MANAN. This love story struck its right chord from their store room encounter and keep getting more and more popular till their last meaningful conversation together at Manik place. One of their beautiful moment from store room sequence was when Manik turned around  to see Alya, but his eyes for rather fixated on innocent Nandini instead. Parth really nailed this scene with that intense portrayal of Manik where his eyes said it all, this is the moment where something is shifted in in Manik’s heart for forever. If Parth nailed this scene then Niti nailed her first love realization scene with equal finesse. Myriad of emotions she portrayed  as Nandini within few seconds from denial to shock and to helplessness, and then to her ultimate love realization, she ached one and all.

If a good creative vision is needed to create base for any love story, then understanding and comfort level of actors are equally important to make it work. Because chemistry can never be individualized , it’s always game of action and reaction between two actors.  Rarely two actors have created chemistry, when they are not in same frame. But these two even excelled there and, it was after their manzha sequence where Manik sacrificed his own performance for Nandini brother. Even after being not in same frame  Parth Niti able to create such a enchanting chemistry with Nandini innocent smile and Manik intense eyes. If Niti performance touch your heart with that innocent teary smile, Parth performance send shivers down spine with those intense eyes, and both together always do wonders. Out of infinite beautiful moments, they created together, another scene which leave a strong imprint in your heart is their shadow scene, just after their musicana breakup.  It was a really overwhelming scene, enacted so beautifully by Parth Niti, where they created beautiful  picture of two heartbroken souls, who carve for each other but still can't be together.

One thing for sure is that you can’t fake is chemistry. Friends and foes, only they know, but everyone just love to speculate about reason behind their magical Manan chemistry. Even after extreme popularity of this jodi, no one  has been able to crack secret of their crackling chemistry. But one thing for sure no one is going to achieve this bar, as they together set as MANAN for quite some time. If I have to go on their journey  it was just way too beautiful that I can write whole history, so instead I  would like to conclude with my theory PANI Mystery is actually Manan chemistry.

vo kuch beetain hue lamhe..jinmain meri saasen bas gayi thi

vo kuch beetain hue lamhe...jiski tasveer zahan mai kahin chap gayi thi

vo kuch beetain hue lamhe...jinki yaadien hai ki mitati hee nahi hai

shayad tabhi unn kuch beeten hue lamhon se bahar aab meri jindgi nikalti nahi hai

Mirza Ghalib Poetry

Dukh Day Kar Sawaal Kartay ho,
Tum Bhe GHAALiB ! Kamaal Kartay ho..

Daikh Kar Pooch Liyaa haal meraa,
Chalo Kuch tou Khayaal Kartay ho..

Shehar -e- Dil may Ye Udaasiyaan Kaisi ??
Ye Bhe mujh say Sawaal Kartay ho ???

Marnaa Chaahain tou mar nahe Saktay,
tum Bhe Jeenaa muhaal Kartay ho..

ab Kiss Kiss Ki misaal Doon tum Ko ?
her Sitam Bay-misaal Kartay ho . . .
