Kunal Karan Kapoor a versatile actor and one of the most talented actors around. He is an inspiration...and I admire him.
What I love about Kunal Karan Kapoor is that he always challenges himself. He has a passion for the art. He has the intensity of an actor. He perceives the nuances of a character and understands how to project it, how to reflect it in his performance. And I admire and value that.
Kunal has portrayed a variety of characters over the years. The best part is that he has portrayed each of them differently every single time. I love that Kunal gives his characters their own personality, their own individual emotions and habits and thought patterns; small details and shades that make them unique and unforgettable.
For me, true talent is when an actor changes and grows with his character and Kunal Karan Kapoor has done that with the character of Yudi and Mohan. I love it when a character starts on one note and ends on a different.
As an actor there are something natural, humble, impulsive and mysteries about him. It makes us curious and the amazing part is...he surprise us and he is a treat to watch.
Another thing I love about him is that he take us with him, on the journey of his character and we get to explore the depth of his character with him. We get to watch the character grow and change. The different shades he give his character make us connect and relate...it is an amazing feeling and a great experience.
In Left Right Left, Yudi was a young, nervous, dramatic, energetic and restless boy. Yudi was a character many people could relate to. That feeling of being invisible, bullied, and constantly be pressured by your peers. The feeling that you have to prove your worth, not only to people around you, but yourself as well. The feeling that you don't fit in and you keep trying to leave a mark, a footprint, because you want to be remembered as someone who mattered, as someone who did something good.
I also love Kunal Karan Kapoor's comic timing, he always keeps the right balance, never crossing the line between slapstick and natural humour.
In Mann Ki Awaaz Pratigya, Kunal's dialogue delivery was fabulous. Love the way Angad would say his kahawat in a visual way. Angad's character had a lot of potential, if they had given Kunal a chance, the space to allow his character to grow, and enough screen time.
