Kunal Karan Kapoor, most famous for his show “Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha”, has dabbled into TV and OTT platform and he says at this stage of his career he is keen to explore various mediums.
The actor, who started off his acting career as a child artiste with the popular TV show “Rajani”, aired on Doordarshan. The Basu Chatterjee-directed show, which had Priya Tendulkar in lead role, also had Shah Rukh Khan and Subhash Ghai in cameo appearances.
Kunal, who later went on act in shows such as “Remix”, “Left Right Left”, “Maayka”, “Mann Ki Awaaz Pratigya”, “Doli Armaano Ki”, web-show “The Raikar Case”, says he has had his share of ups and downs but doesn’t believe in harping over it.
Talking about the initial days of his acting career, Kunal says, “As a child, I would stand outside RK Studios and hope to get an acting opportunity someday. And one day I ended up as a child artiste in the TV show ‘Rajani’.”
“My career took off then and I’ve reached a stage today when I want to explore all mediums. I have gone through my share of struggles, but I don’t believe in sharing them,” he adds. Over the years, Kunal may have acted in several shows however there has been a notion about him being selective about his acting projects. Dismissing such belief, the actor says he patiently waits for the right offer. “I wouldn’t say that I am choosy about my projects, but yes, I have always been auditioning for roles in different mediums for many years now. And when things work out in my favour, I am happy,” he says.
Kunal is thrilled about his new show – Seema and Sudhir Sharma’s Sunshine Production backed show “Ziddi Dil Maane Na”. The actor, who will be seen playing the role of a cadet in the Sony SAB TV show, says he was initially worried and a bit skeptical about stepping out to work.
“All of us have to follow safety protocols, because more than us getting infected by the virus, we should be worried about passing it on to the elders in the family,” Kunal, who lives with his father in Mumbai, says. “I am looking forward to this new role. Just the thought of going to the set of Sudhir and Seema Sharma produced show and watching people work is a great motivator,” he adds. “Ziddi Dil Maane Na” is set to go on air soon.
