Mohan; we will remember!
By Soapie
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow
I once came across an article that said "Fictional characters need to appear real without being real", in my own personal view good fictional characters are the ones that make you think with them and for them, that make you question the why and why nots, that make you look beyond the obvious and hook you to their story. They inspire you, ignite a passion in you, charm you with their antics and you find yourself lost in their world
Mohan Gala was all of that and more! True to his name Mohan was both charming and fascinating! A simple yet complex character, aware of the realities of life yet never letting go of dreams, dreams of a better life, a better future, dreams of success, dreams of living up to the expectations his family, specially his mother had of him. The darkness of reality did cast a shadow on his path, made him loose his way but never could it deter his determination to prove himself!
He grew up in an oppressed environment, in his household his grandfather's words were considered the ultimate, women were considered secondary and there was no concept of free will. Even in such a setting, Mohan dared to dream, he made his mother's hopes and aspirations from him, his goal in life.
As a teenager he appeared to be a caring, shy and reluctant teenager with a getup that earned him the title "champu", he was literally smuggled out of the house by his mother to get higher education from abroad, moving into another country, from an oppressed household did not prove easy for him. He was soon shaken out of his dream world by the difficulties of real life. He did not just face ragging in London but also had to struggle to make both ends meet, to make sure he could at least pay back the loan his mother had taken (little did he know at that time that he was sold by his grandfather already as repayment for that loan). Despite trying his best when failure after failure hit him, persuaded by peer pressure he ended up losing path and adopt short-cuts with a few bad habits.
Upon his return he had turned into a handsome, confident, apparently self-centered man, who dreamed of ruling Mumbai. He appeared to be a rebel, yet deep down Champu's innocence remained. He seemed to represent the present day youth that did not care much for traditions and believed in taking short cuts. He believed that to set one's life right, you have to do your own struggle by hook or crook.
On the surface Mohan might come across
as a good for nothing, selfish, a little grey character but he had a heart so
pure. One of the most real characters ever portrayed on Indian television, he
had his flaws, his weaknesses, his vulnerabilities, with a strong desire to
prove himself and break the status quo prevalent in his household. The smug look he gave to his grandfather
upon his return to Gala House from abroad communicates that he was not just a
'spoilt brat' playing smarty-pants with his grandfather, he was a boy who had
become a man, setting a silent challenge to the man who had stifled him from
the time he was an infant, and that one look said it all!
At times in story, one might think Mohan was someone who could use anyone for his benefit but that was far from the truth. Even when circumstances forced him into deceiving a girl and marrying her, he made sure he did not ill treat her nor used her. He considered her not just his responsibility but tried his best to keep her happy, even when he did not love her. He gave her his support and stood by her whenever she ended in trouble; he had faith in her, his trust in her never wavered and above all held respect for her, which was a rarity for women in the Gala household.
Mohan
even in worst circumstances had his eyes focused on his goal, masala shop was
never going to be the place for him, and he was always going to make his own
future! Making mistakes, falling down, loosing path was all part of the
process, which was never going to make Mohan Gala stop!!!
Mohan had many different shades to his character, the
champu, the champion and all that was in between, the innocence, the dreams,
the frustration, the guilt, the anger, the disappointment, the care freeness,
the responsibility, the wit, the naughtiness, the great sense of humor, which never vanished even during hardest of times. With his command on portraying
different emotions in a split second, Harshad made sure viewers felt each emotion
Mohan went through. His expertise in synchronizing expressions,
using eyes and body language along with voice modulation, made Mohan a treat
to watch!
As a friend once said part of this is his attention to
detail, whenever he is presented a role he probably has his own questions to
ask at the very beginning, about the background and the mannerisms of the
character, which he always keeps at the back of his mind when he's playing that
character. Harshad made sure, Mohan's sleeping, and walking, talking, smile and
each and every expression appeared tailor made for the character. He has this
ability through his sheer effort and brilliant portrayal to hook you to his
characters, Mohan obviously was no different, a fact both fans and non-fans who
watched him will vouch for!
Though short lived we the fans will always cherish Mohan Gala but we
are even glad there are many others who would too!!!
Jai Shiri Mohan!!!
We miss our Mohan
by: Nandalala (Anji)
At once, a man like none other: whole, unwavering, sensible,
Yet, insecure, sensitive, burdened with filial responsibilities.
A son, a friend, a lover, and a husband,
shrouds himself in layers of devastating charm...
Yet, beneath it all, a fear that he may do them all irretractable harm...
Cliched he's not,
For whats right he's fought,
Taking no prisoners, cutting the drama,
A kind & confident champion in his ways,
With an aura about him that never sways...
I miss our Mohan, he with his casual tees and his vintage washed
low-rider jeans...
His slick one-liners and one track desires...
Loves to be loved, ready to attack...
Dare to reciprocate, he'll never hold back...
Meera had her Mohan, we've got our own,
Our forever rogue with a HEART of GOLD...

And what you've become
The shining hope of many
And holding the grudges of some
Your mother adored you, for being the perfect son,
For your childhood sweetheart you were the only 'one'
Your grandfather only was aware of your secret urge to break apart
As you followed your mind to London and left behind your heart
Your dreams were laid on the foundation on a deal
And even when they shattered, that wicked pact remained
You were betrothed to a girl who was perhaps only a hazy memory
And nothing about you could ever be the same
You were a different Mohan, with a different attitude
You were the unique one, the wild child of your brood
With shades perched on your nose, you came flying back to claim
The skyscraper and its glories which had been your only aim
But along with riches, love is required too
And you could never have guessed the love that was waiting for you
That simple girl with innocent eyes, a throwback to your past
Who was determined to make this unlikely marriage last
You had in you the desperation to let your wife's treasures fulfill your debts
And yet you had in you the integrity to maintain all the promises kept
Full of secrets that you hoped would always stay hidden
You set out on the path which your family had forbidden
You didn't want the old business; you were full of new dreams,
Your ambition had no limit, your imagination no seams,
The only thing you'd desired was a life of heavenly luxuries
And you plowed through everything that stood in the way of your ecstasies
But love changed you; let that childish mischief show through,
You were dishonest as well as honest, but you were always you
You'd loved living a life carefree and libertine,
But now your new responsibility was taking away its sheen
A Dharampatni takes all the seven promises she makes to eternity,
But a Dharampati ensures that for this lifetime, she is free,
Free of troubles, free of sadness, free of anger and free of fears,
The only image in her eyes and the only voice in her ears
You had so many hopes thrust upon you, those of your lover and your friend,
Those of your mother and your family, and you fulfilled all in the end
For even though you wanted to be a free bird soaring to great heights,
Your roots kept you tied, and ignore those blinding lights
You may have not been the perfect lover, or the perfect soulmate,
But you were true to every promise, even if you were late,
In the end, even when all your secrets came spilling out of the jar,
The will to achieve was still there, to prove yourself beyond par
Thank you Harshad, for playing this character's depth so well,
Thank you for showing us about Mohan what even the story could not tell,
Though-short lived; Mohan Galla was an ideal,
Because in a world of saccharine princes, he was the only one real

Don't know why but whenever I am upset I search for you. May be because you are my best friend, my true friend, in fact my only friend. Sigh I am frustrated damn frustrated all thanks to my loving family. You know you are far better than those weird creatures, at least I can pour my heart in front of you because I know you will not put any condition in front of me.
Seriously yaar! How much I can take. How much a human being can take? And how much they want me to take?
I lost my best friend! I lost my wife cum friend! I lost the love of my life! And guess what I learnt? I learnt that I was better as a rude, arrogant and carefree guy. Why the hell I cared for them? This world is not worth my goodness.
What???
You must be thinking that I have got some new enemies. *yawn* do I need them? Not at all! Forget the enemies , it's my family and friends who frustrates me the most.
Nothing much has happened in my life. It's all about A frame, A sauce, A car A dutiful wife A psycho friend and The Three Mistakes of my life!
Can you believe that a bottle of sauce has created a mess in my life?
Can you believe that a single decision of having a car has taken my life on a roller coaster ride?
Can you believe that falling in love with my wife has resulted into a protest named non-MBA-can't-touch-his-wife?
I will tell you the whole story. As you are aware of half of the saga, so I will proceed from where I had left. The next chapter of my sufferings was started when my dutiful wife decided to frame my degree (fake degree). Later maa gave it to me in front of all the wackos of town. The embarrassment I got wasn't enough for her so she decided to hung it on wall.
After 'A' frame A car came'my dream car'for which I got not one but so many disgusting lectures from the famous daddy-sonny duo of my family as if it wasn't a car but a high jacked fighter plane. You know what I don't regret this incident that much because in this case I stood up for myself, probably for the first time but I stood up! Yea I was termed as selfish and disrespectful for that but hey! Who cares I know how to handle them.
The degree-in-frame chapter was about to close after taking some historical pics of mine in convocation dress''.. I swore I was feeling like a first grade student who has won a fancy dress competition and people are clicking his pics in that dress with his trophy!!!!!!!!!! Ughhh!!!!!!!! Oops where was I? yea this drama was about to end when my so called friend landed here doing bhangra and to do some drastic steps of salsa with my life.
I knew she is a psycho. I knew she would be a pain for my family. She is a big risk in herself but she was my best friend and I had feelings for her but she backstabbed me. Can you believe that sia was in love with me!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yea dude !!!!!! sia,she is not a stranger for you. You know her very well.
I know I am irresistible. Any gal can slip on me but Sia!!!!! Don't you what kind of item she is!!!!!!
She and kastur did a lot of melodrama behind my back. God saved me but I wonder how much crap my pankhis had to bear! Poor souls! Sia gave a tough competition to kastur in terms of BJ, dad , bhabhi, maa and meee!!!!!! I think K but at least she reminded kastur of her hubby otherwise she would have happily forgotten about someone called MG. yea the very same piya baawri was suffering from " within-a-second-forget-your-husband syndrome. In this mental illness a deewani lover totally forgets her hubby and starts giving full attention to his grandpa! I know it is sounding weird to you think about me! I faced it day and night! Thank God my store was with me, but again my poor pankhis,they are the victims of that torture!
Ohhh!! Where was I? yea,Sia actually played with my life. She not only brought but fed my whole family! OYSTER SAUCE 
Which created a big mess in my already super messy house! When this scandal came out kastur as usual showed her not so convincing but very confusing act as the answer of her so called dharma! Seriously, I want to know which dharma in the world tells these dutiful wives to be a martyr and do emotional attyachaar on their hubbies by making them feel guilty for no reason!
However, I really felt bad for her. I wonder why people turns their not so good ethics into the order of almighty. But those are unforgettable''because those days were my days as a new lover
Sia tried to kill kastur and this was unbearable for me, I threw her out of the house. In those days, kastur was nothing but a vegetable, but for me she was my whole world. For the first time in my life I get to know how it feels to fall in love, how it feels to be in love I am not a poet to explain my feelings in melody but it was something different
However, it was for a very short period.
I lost my love just after our dream night. I never knew that my fake degree would snatch my love someday.
Kastur, do not know from where learnt about my fake degree and you can't even imagine how much melodrama she did! She was behaving like a hunterwali or something! Within five minutes she declared me culprit without even listening to me.
In the bliss of love, I had forgotten that I have got a Dharamful Dharampatni. Within a second my vanilla ice-cream turned into a mixed combo of dhokla, khakhra,t hepla, khandvi etc.uff too unbearable for me
They say love is blind. I agree. Why only blind it is mental too. Look at me, can you believe that I literally begged in front of her? I did they say love is a sweet dream and marriage is the alarm clock but what to do if you get lost in dreams after hearing the noise of alarm clock? Needless to say, you are gone!
I poured my heart in front of her, my sufferings, my pain everything was before her and guess what she did?
You must be thinking that after this I got a big tight hug and probably some kisses! *winks* even I was expecting the same, but when you have a dharamful dharampatni you shouldn't expect such things!
Instead of hugs and kisses, I got an ultimatum that "kastur-don't-want-to-be-touched-by-a-non-MBA" so obviously I will have to get a MBA first and then I will be graced by touch
Do not open your mouth, it's the bitter truth
No touching''..No touching'''only MBA''..only MBA
No kissing''No kissing''..only MBA'..only MBA
As if, my love was for her body
As if, I was dying to touch her
Let me tell you no touching means no hugs, no hair ruffling, no eating together''..
Yaar seriously, how can she do this to me? Before our ding dong night I haven't seen her properly as she used to cover herself with both bed sheets and tents to become a Christmas tree!
Now, today when I am a MBA''yea a MBA,I want a 12thpaas wife''.. I deserve it! For that I will get some not so good names for sure as it is an insult of a dharampatni ,but if she does the same thing then it is like blazing a trial for an aimless guy! Waittt!!!! When the hell I was aimless???? I should better launch a campaign and protest like leader! Wait again!!!!!! Leader sounds quite familier, wasn't I supposed to be a LEADER' my sincere thanks to some people for that!!!!!!11 I think I am loosing my memory, so I am going to have a full glass of milk with almonds and saffron'''and yea I doesn't mean that I am getting into mood! I will get into mood only when kastur will have to clear her 12th board exam and right now she is preparing for her 10th board exams. 
WISH HER ALL THE BEST
I WILL KEEP UPDATING YOU

Later after completing his studies he headed straight to Bombay to pursue his acting career hoping to make it big one day just like Salman Khan, his favorite bollywood actor. He struggled hard during these years waiting for his big break but before that break would come he found himself successfully auditioning for Zee's Mamta and so began the journey of the actor Harshad Chopda!
Below is a brief description of Harshad's five characters he has played so far!
