Kunal Karan Kapoor is currently seen as Ranvijay in Sargun Mehta and Ravie Dubey’s show Udaariyaan, which is produced under their banner Dreamiyata Entertainment Private Limited. He confessed that he enjoys doing night shifts and said, “I have always been a night owl, and night shoots are always welcome, but when I see the crew or team members suffer due to consistent night shoots, that affects the general atmosphere of the work environment adversely.”
“However, personally, I have no qualms about shooting through the night,” he added.
Well, Kunal is also someone who is good at managing time and indulges in little things that give him pure bliss when he has an off.
“I have made peace with the fact that life will always be a shadow play of phases wherein when I’m part of a daily soap, personal life takes a back seat and the focus is always work, and when I’m free from the clutches of hectic schedules, I use that time to do whatever I want, which is to inadvertently travel or read,” he said.
“I have simple pleasures like playing video games and watching movies that help prevent burnout during the work phase,” he added.
For Kunal, work is worship, and while he appreciates a healthy work environment, he is not one to complain about petty things.
“I have been a child artist, and there is no greater joy that I have known than being on a set under those arc lights. As an adult, I started with a show that was one hour daily almost two decades ago, and we would shoot on a set with no AC and three simultaneous units shooting every day. I have only seen things get better with time,l he said.
“Mindset is everything. If I join a project, my goal is to give my best and try to bring value to the final product. If I don’t like something, I won’t be a part of it, but if I do, I believe it’s my responsibility to play my part to the best of my abilities and try and make it better.”
