Recently, Kunal Kapoor opened up about his journey in the film industry.
The actor said:
“I think I have pretty much gone through the whole cycle of success and failure.”
“When I was starting off, I had friends in the industry that said, ‘Don’t become an actor, it’s very difficult for outsiders, have a Plan B in place if you are becoming an actor.’
“Then, when Rang De Basanti happened and a bunch of Yash Raj films happened, I was suddenly the next big thing.
“Then those films didn’t work and I was finished.
“Now, I have reached a place where everyone is saying, ‘He is such an interesting actor, we want to see more of him’.”
