Kunal Karan Kapoor: An Actor Triumphs..
This piece is specifically being written for readers who have travelled with Unboxed Writers from the time we did the first story on Kunal Karan Kapoor. And who still mention it in their messages to us. This was when Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kucch Kaha onColors was just beginning to register on the minds of viewers who had never watched Hindi soaps before. Many of them still write to us to ask for a fresh interview, a longer piece, another take on the story that grows deviant but the talent that drove it, continues to soar above bad twists, inadequate footage and a channel that seems to be grudging a lead actor, his ability to defy neglect and yet shine even as much more pampered stars of their far more publicised shows fail to make any lasting impact.

At the end of it all, this is a story of a rare talent's triumph in a TRP and politics and profit driven industry. The triumph of an actor without any muscle, backing or clout or even a PR team promoting him brazenly. He has been ignored at previous award shows, even in his own show sometimes and yet today has a following that grows beyond numbers. That consists of people who are affected by his talent as if it were a real presence in their lives because in a way, it is. Only once in a while, you come across an actor who makes you a part of his character's inner universe, who makes you cross the chasm between the real and the imagined and makes you care, weep, laugh, hurt with him as if you were a part of his story and living it with him. Only once in a while, you come across an actor who cares so much about what he does that he won't let even a random moment pass him by, without grabbing it with all his senses and bringing it to life.

Sure, we feel proud that in this space, we predicted many episodic twists ago that here was an actor who had arrived, a star on the cusp of surreal fame that few actors taste in their lives. A fame that cares for them, their journey, their triumphs and milestones and wants nothing more than to see them succeed even more. A fame rooted in goodwill that comes from always being committed to the craft of acting and from being a person who won't manipulate the media or fans to grow bigger. The long-awaited recognition of being the Best Actor in a Lead Role not just vindicates Kunal Karan Kapoor's long trudge into limelight but also something we all need to believe in. That if you do your best..life will one day return the favour and do its best for you.

There is much more to this story, this journey though and here is another prediction. In the years to come, this story will include many stories of triumph, tailor-made roles and the ever expanding trajectory of a man who came with nothing to this industry and gave it his all. The favour is being returned finally. And about time too.
