In the ever-evolving Bollywood industry, success stories often emerge from luck-by-chance career choices. One of the stories is of this actor, who, much like legends Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, and Shah Rukh Khan, embarked on an unconventional journey.
This star's journey took an unexpected turn at the tender age of 18 when, faced with the challenges of the industry, he took on the role of a fruit seller. Little did he know that this humble start would pave the way for a remarkable career in the glitzy world of Indian cinema.
The once-fruit vendor has successfully transcended barriers and earned a coveted spot alongside Bollywood's elite. Sharing screen space with superstars like Ranbir Kapoor, Aamir Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan, the actor has become an integral part of major box office hits, leaving an indelible mark on the industry.
This actor's story not only echoes the struggles of Bollywood's iconic outsiders but also serves as an inspiration to aspiring talents across the nation.
The actor's name is Kunal Kapoor, who is now driving the force behind the leading crowd-funding platform, Ketto, which boasts a company valuation of Rs 110 crore. Having co-founded the firm in 2012 with business partners Zaheer Adenwala and Varun Sheth, he has successfully carved a niche in the realm of philanthropy and entrepreneurship.
Fun Fact: For those unfamiliar, Kunal Kapoor has acted in movies like Rang De Basanti, Bachna Ae Haseeno, Don 2, Aaja Nachle, Gold, etc.
In a conversation with Midday, the actor conveyed that he disagrees with the term 'choosy actor,' although he has been associated with it for quite some time. He clarified that if he feels passionate about a film, he desires complete immersion in it. He emphasised the importance of avoiding waking up and questioning the purpose behind a particular project. For him, establishing a profound connection and commitment on set, making it an integral part of his daily life, is crucial.
While talking about his fruit-selling work, Kunal pointed out that if work were his sole motivation, he could have continued his pre-movie occupation of exporting mangoes to Hong Kong.
