|  | | off we go! Kunal Kapoor with Sue Joseph before leaving for Goa | Early on Friday morning Kunal Kapoor took off for Goa with friends for a break including his girlfriend and Remix co-star Sue Joseph.
The actor, who is presently seen as Yudi in Left Right Left is making the most of the break in shooting.
Due to the cricket World Cup, Left Right Left is taking a season's break as SAB becomes a cricket-only channel.
"I hit the road early on Friday morning and I have no clue for how many days I will be away — anything from five to 15 days. Or better still, till the money lasts," he says while taking a break in Chiplun last night.
Some of my Left Right Left co-stars like Aparna Tilak, Shveta Salve and Arjun Bijlani will also be coming to Goa over the weekend, so there is lots of company."
High road
A keen bike enthusiast, he says this is the first time since Left Right Left went on air that he is taking a break.
"During the Remix days, I once took off for Goa. I just decided to travel one afternoon and within hours, I was on the road on my Hero Honda. It was extremely unplanned and without much money.
I lived on the roads there! At least this time there are friends and adequate money."
Says Kunal, "I have known Sue for over two years ever since our Remix days. She played the character of MP in Remix. She is studying through correpondence, so she could also come along with us."
Interestingly, Kunal was working in a call centre for more than a year before he took up acting.
"There were certain personal reasons also why I took up a role in Remix which was my television debut," he says.
How it began
As a kid, he used to loiter around Mahesh Bhatt's Vishesh Films office. "I was in class seven then and one day Bhattsaab told me, show me how angry you can get.
He then told me to get in touch with Shrishti Arya for a film called Angaarey which she and her brother Goldie Behl were producing and Bhatt saab was directing.
I was supposed to play the younger role of Akshay Kumar. But because of my height, I couldn't do it. Years later when Shrishti was casting for Remix, I got in touch with her again. That's how I began acting."
After this Goa trip, Kunal has plans to go for an all-India tour on his newly-bought Royal Enfield bike. "In Mumbai, there are too many restrictions and no time, with the bike at least on the highway you can break free." |
