Kunal Khemu: I Feel Like I Debut In Bollywood Every Two Years
Kunal Khemu opened up by saying that he feels like he debuts in Bollywood every two years. He stated that he's been a part of several films and while some work, the others don't.
From
playing
intense
parts
to
switching
to
comedy,
Kunal
Kemmu
says
every
time
he
tries
to
feature
in
diverse
films,
it
feels
as
if
he
is
making
his
debut
every
second
year
in
Bollywood.
The
actor
started
out
as
a
child
artiste
in
the
1990s
and
went
on
to
do
films
such
as
Hum
Hain
Rahi
Pyar
Ke,
Raja
Hindustani,
Zakhm,
and
Dushman.
"I
still
feel
I'm
a
newcomer
on
the
basis
of
the
responses
I
get.
People
tell
me
'oh
you
look
so
young',
'oh
he's
comeback
with
a
new
film.'
I
keep
feeling
I
constantly
debut
every
two
years," Kunal
told
PTI.
After
having
worked
as
a
child
artiste
for
a
decade,
the
actor
proved
his
mettle
as
a
lead
actor
with
his
2005
debut
Kalyug
and
followed
it
up
with
Traffic
Signal,
both
high
on
content
films.
His
career
witnessed
a
downfall
after
a
string
of
flop
films
until
Rohit
Shetty's
Golmaal
3
in
2010
and
Saif
Ali
Khan-starrer
Go
Goa
Gone
(2013)
came
his
way.
This
constant
genre-jumping,
Kunal
says,
comes
with
the
aim
to
constantly
reinvent
himself.
"It
may
look
like
a
struggle
from
one
perspective,
but
there
are
pluses
and
minuses.
I
can't
say
'it's
all
cool,
I'm
planning
everything',
no.
There
are
times
when
your
films
don't
work,
your
phone
doesn't
ring
and
you
wonder
what
you
have
done.
You
question
it
(the
choice).''
"But
then
something
good
comes
along
and
you
invest
all
your
energy
into
it,
as
opposed
to
waste
time
on
what
happened.
It's
a
huge
learning
that
things
aren't
always
in
your
control.
You
can
only
be
responsible
for
what
you're
doing,"
he
adds.
The
actor
says
both
success
and
failure
in
his
15-year-long
career
has
only
made
him
an
optimist.
"It
has
been
a
journey
of
ups
and
downs.
There
have
been
moments
of
immense
joy
and
heartbreaks.
Everything
I
have
gone
through
has
made
me
better."
In
his
latest,
multistarrer
"Kalank",
which
also
featured
Alia
Bhatt,
Varun
Dhawan,
Sanjay
Dutt,
Madhuri
Dixit
Nene,
Sonakshi
Sinha
and
Aditya
Roy
Kapur,
Kunal
was
the
one
to
steal
the
thunder
as
an
antagonist,
Abdul.Kunal,
35,
is
"overwhelmed"
with
the
response
coming
his
way
for
"Kalank"
and
he
gives
credit
to
producer
Karan
Johar
for
"trusting"
him
with
his
grand
vision.
"I
thought
this
guy
is
trusting
me
with
something
that
I've
not
done.
He
believed
in
me
and
I
went
ahead
with
it.
I
played
the
part
to
the
best
of
my
ability."cThe
actor
will
next
be
seen
in
Malang,
which
reunites
him
with
his
Kalyug
director
Mohit
Suri
and
a
long-awaited
sequel
to
the
zombie
comedy
Go
Goa
Gone.
