ABOUT THE ARTIST
On the 22nd of August in 1982, an artist was born in the thick heat of Mumbai, India. 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.
Kunal was a complete outdoor person as a child. He loved to run around outside and eat mangoes with his friends. Though, being someone who wandered about in his own dreams, he lost out on a major part of his childhood and grew up much as a loner, sharing the company of a dog named Oliver. Tragedy struck in his life when he lost his mother at the tender age of nine.
The first time that Kunal 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 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's very first screen appearance was as a child artist in the popular Indian show called Rajani. Kunal 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 was a third year drop out and began to work in a call center. He recalled that time in his life as "stagnating". Eventually, he called up a friend whom he had met earlier on, and she invited him in for an audition. Soon enough, Kunal was cast as the stuttering nerd Varun in Remix on the popular TV channel Star One.
The first step in establishing his acting career had been taken. It opened up other doors for him in the Indian TV industry. Kunal 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.
On the 26th of June 2015 Kunal Karan Kapoor appeared on-screen in the skin of Shaurya Urmi Sinha in Doli Armaanon Ki after a long absence. And in just a few episodes he managed to give his character in numerous shades, making it so popular that viewers could not help but discuss and analyze Shaurya's every action & reaction.
April 15th 2017 Kunal Karan Kapoor appeared in a Bengali music video Adda with Ritabhari Chakraborty. lyricist Swanand Kirkire, singer Anupam Roy and Bengali band Chandrabindu. Adda song became a sensation.
April 6th 2018 Kunal Karan Kapoor did a television advertising ad, ab khush khabri ghar baithe, that went viral on FaceBook in just few weeks with 4.7 million views.
Kunal is a passionate artist. Thus his interests and skills do not begin and end with merely acting. He is also a talented photographer, capturing furtive moments and human conditions as displayed in many of his pictures on Instagram. He continues to be an outdoor spirit in the sense that he enjoys travelling immensely along with trekking, biking, river rafting, and even swimming: "Water is like my playground. I'll discover an isolated beach and let myself go in... Kinda my thing." Apart from outdoor activities, Kunal absolutely loves books and music.
