Kunal Karan Kapoor

  • Actor
IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Kunal Karan Kapoor was originally born Kunal Kapoor, but added his father's name Karan later on due to the fact that he happened to share the same name as a Bollywood actor.

The first time that Kunal Karan Kapoor found himself immersed in the world of cinema was when he watched Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park as a boy. He instantly knew that he wanted to be a director and decided that acting might help him achieve his dream. His struggle began at the age of thirteen as he would head to RK Studios after school and stand at the gates.

In an interview, Kunal Karan Kapoor revealed: "The watchman would ask me what exactly I was trying to do. I would revert that one day I would become an actor. Then he would open the gates and let me enter."

Kunal Karan Kapoor's very first screen appearance was as a child artist in the popular Indian show called Rajani. He described it as being "quite an insight into this whole world at that age, but I had to give it up because of 10th, and studies were more important at that point."

Kunal Karan Kapoor was cast as the stuttering nerd Varun in Remix on the popular TV channel Star One November 2004.

The first step in establishing his acting career had been taken. It opened up other doors for him in the Indian TV industry. Kunal Karan Kapoor was cast in a variety of Indian shows in the skin of distinctive characters that became popular because of his versatile performances. However, it was not until he was cast as Mohan Bhatnagar in the superhit show Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha on the TV channel Colors that he was truly recognised for his skills as an actor. The character became iconic through his nuanced portrayal of it. His hard work and dedication gained him the Indian Telly Award in the category of Best Actor in year 2013.

Kunal Karan Kapoor is an artist who understands the very nuances of every one of his characters. He understands how to portray them in a raw, yet sensitive way that draws in even the most skeptic viewer.
