ABOUT Kunal Kapoor

Kunal Kapoor: From Rang De Basanti to Global Ventures Kunal Kapoor, born October 18, 1977, is a multifaceted Indian actor known for his contributions to Hindi cinema and beyond. His career, launched with Meenaxi: A Tale of Three Cities (2004), gained significant momentum with the critically acclaimed Rang De Basanti (2006). Subsequent roles in films like Bachna Ae Haseeno, Welcome to Sajjanpur, Don 2, Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana, Dear Zindagi, Veeram, Gold, and Devdas showcased his versatility. After a period of relative quiet, Kapoor's portrayal of Babur in the 2021 series The Empire garnered significant praise. His upcoming projects highlight his ambitious trajectory: the epic Ramayan alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi; a Sidharth Anand Netflix film, Jewel Thief, with Saif Ali Khan; and a yet-to-be-titled Aamir Khan Productions film slated for 2025. Significantly, Kapoor will make his Telugu debut in Vishwambara, a high-budget project featuring Chiranjeevi. He is also co-writing and starring in an action series to be filmed in Lucknow. Beyond acting, Kapoor is a successful entrepreneur, co-founding Ketto, Asia's largest crowdfunding platform, which has raised over $150 million for social causes. His interests extend to writing, piloting, and competitive motorsports (rally and Formula 3 racing), reflecting a diverse skill set. He is also a prolific angel investor in several technology startups. Married to Naina Bachchan, Kapoor is a father of one. His career reflects not only a significant acting talent but also a keen entrepreneurial spirit and a commitment to diverse ventures.
