***HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE KING OF EXPRESSION KUNAL KARAN KAPOOR***

Kunal Karan Kapoor

A versatile actor, and one of the most talented actors around.

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.

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 screentime.

Mohan Bhatnagar had three phases in NBT and I love all three. For me, MB touched my heart on a much deeper level. For me, the story was not a cute love story between a single mom and a young bindaas boy. For me, the story was how much a relationship can destroy a person... if they let it. That you should only invest as much in a relationship as you can afford to lose. That trying to make an unhealthy relationship work can result in you losing yourself in the process.

NBT ss2 was about relationships between parents and kids, between separated couples, between stepfather and his stepkids, between lonely single parents trying to make a connection. I believe that the text message scene was a flirting scene between lonely single people trying to make a connection. Ss2 was also about a father who carries guilt and tries to make amends. I love that NBT ss2 touched so many different aspects of reality and Kunal portrayed every single shade of his character so beautifully.

It's incredible how Kunal Karan Kapoor took a character that was light to a totally different place. Every facial expression, body language, speech pattern, thought process, scene, every detail was perfectly done portrayed by him. There was not a moment of disconnection between KKK and MB/Vaasu.

He never needed a great dialogue because his expressions and eyes are enough to blow the viewers away in a scene. They are enough to convey his deepest, darkest secrets. His emotional state of mind. His hopes and his fears. Not to mention that his voice modulation and dialogue delivery are flawless.

Kunal karan kapoor took the level of emotional performances too a new and much higher level. No one can beat that.

The industry need actors like Kunal who can connect with the characters and the viewers on a grounded level. There is a need for actors that give characters so many shades that you can analyze and discuss the characters for hours. Actors that keep surprising you, and when you watch them you escape from reality into their world, but at the same time you relate to the character, because it is close to who you are as a human being. Kunal Karan kapoor has a connect to the art of breathing life into a character, a bond that just draws viewers to him and the characters he portrays. I wish that the industry could see what makes a star unique and unforgettable.

Kunal Karan Kapoor is a "growing star" that is going to be back and rock the stage once again.

My Birthday wish for Kunal karan kapoor is that he continues to love life and never stop dreaming. May beauty and happiness surround him not only on his special day, but always.

Wish him all the best 😳
