On his suggestion I started learning acting from Barry John. After tmy training I joined a theatre group run by Naseerji. The training by Barry John and the stage experience polished the actor within me and later I joined Bollywood. That's how I became an actor," said Kunal, surrounded by eager fans.

In love with theatre, Kunal says, "Theatre has its own charm. In theatre the audience's reaction is instant. In films you may give retakes, but theatre doesn't allow you that luxury. It really hones ones acting skills. But presently I am enjoying doing films. My next titled Kaun Kitne Paani Main is a light hearted comedy that deals with the sensitive issue of water crisis. I am also writing scripts for films and at the moment I am working on a romantic and a comedy script," says Kunal.
