Aks, Kunal Kapoor

The hunky actor on why Krishh is his favourite superhero, why 3 Idiots made him cry, what love means to him and much moreThough he started his Bollywood career as an assistant director for the film Aks, Kunal Kapoor had a keen interest in acting and trained under theatre veteran Barry John. He made his acting debut opposite Tabu in Meenaxi: A Tale Of Three Cities.
But it was the film Rang De Basanti that catapulted Kunal to instant stardom. Even though his next few films ­ Hattrick and Laga Chunri Mein Daag ­ failed to make much of an impact, Kunal's popularity didn't dwindle. His last film, Lamhaa, earned critical acclaim and now Kunal is all set for Don 2

Earth's crowded and full of trash. Choose another planet.
There used to be a cheesy series called Planet X Chromosome. It's about a planet that has only women. That's where I would like to be, even if it was crowded.

It was like a prize fight. Let's see who can knock out whose teeth first! A tune you can't get out of your head?
Dhinka chicka dhinka chicka from Ready.

Google. Silently patent it and then demand royalty for the rest of my life.

Somewhere deep in the recesses of my head.
