You were brought into Coronation Street as an ex-squaddie and a ladies man. Your first appearance was on 8th December 2013 but you'll always be remembered for this.
You helped Dev get in shape when Gary recommended you to him as a personal trainer.
You had your head turned by Leanne when you started work at the gym.
 |
Although you weren't that keen on every bird you laid your hands on.
You showed you could play as a team member.
And as a family member you were protective.
Finally you found love with Leanne and proposed. But sadly you were burnt to a crisp in the great fire of Victoria Court during Britain's Got Talent week, 2015.
And throughout it all, you'll always be remembered for this.

I didn't see him and Leanne together - they just didn't seem to have any chemistry..IMO. Well..he's toast anyway so tara Kal.
ReplyDeleteThat stripper scene, with all the women ooh-ing and aah-ing over Kal's supposedly buff body, would have to rank as one of Corrie's most excruciatingly embarrassing scenes ever. I doubt if Jimi Mistry will be adding it to his show-reel:(
ReplyDeleteJimi Mistry has been a huge disappointment.
ReplyDeleteWell it just shows that bringing in excellent established actors just does not always work - Gloria as another example. Kal seemed OK at first but of course the whole extended family have to be brought in too. A Muslim family was a good idea but when they didnt really keep to the values then it seemed pointless. He could have got a bit more in character and worked out f he was to get his shirt off as a personal trainer and for me putting him with Leanne was the final nail in the coffin. They had zero chemistry and a good Muslim boy would just not marry a woman like her. In the end Kal just did not work. Good luck to Jimmi Mystry, he has probably already moved on.
ReplyDeleteIs it very wrong to be glad a character has died?
ReplyDeleteAgree njblas! I also hate how they have wasted such a good actor. There would have been such a lot of potential for him, and the family too possibly, if they had thought up some better storylines for him.
ReplyDeleteKal has never gelled with me I'm afraid. I spend most of his screen time staring at his eyebrows, they seem to have an acting brief all of their own.
