Good looks vs Real talent

Bollywood  actors  and  television  actors are  expected  to be  tall,  handsome,  fit.  If they  meet  the  above  mentioned  criteria  then  they are  'actors '. Hello.. I don't  understand  the  connection.  When I watch  an actor  I'm least  interested to go gaga  on his looks.  Who cares  about  his chiselled  good looks.  What  connects  me  to the  actor  is his honesty  towards  his work.  His ability  to get  inside  the  skin  of his character.   How  he makes  a character  come  alive  on screen. How  he  makes  the  audience  relate  to the  characters   feelings.
I now  come  to my favourite actor - kunal  karan  kapoor. 
Honestly  speaking  my hero  is not  conventionally  good  looking. But  in my eyes  he is the  sexiest  man on planet  earth.
What  is so special  about  kunal? His  name  whips  up mass hysteria.  His  fan following  increases  with  each  passing  day.  Fans are  praying  for  his comeback. We wait  with  bated  breath  for  some  good  news  about  him. 
Actors  tend  to play  safe.  Refuse  to come  out  from  their  comfort  zone.  Never  experiment  with  their  roles.  Their  resume  only  has  repetitive  characters  that  they  have  played.  Only the  name  changes.  
But  not  kunal.  Right  from  ' Remix'  to   'Na bole  tum  na maine  kuch  kaha'.. Kunal  has  played  a vast  repertoire  of characters.  Every  role  he has played  is so distinct.  No repetition.  His body  language,  his nuances  has been different  in each and  every  character  When I close  my eyes  and visualise  varun,  Yudi,  mohan , vasu,  angad. . ..  I don't  see  kunal. . But  the  character  on the  screen. Such is the  impact  he has on all of us. 


'If you  have a talent , use  it  in every  which  way possible. 
Don't  hoard  it. Don't  dole  it out like  a miser .
Spend  it lavishly. 
Like  a millionaire intent  on growing  broke'

So all of you  aspiring  actors - take a leaf  from  kunal  karan kapoor.  He is an institution  of acting.  I rate  him high  among  the  stalwarts  like  Mr bachchan and the  great  Sanjeev  kumar.  It's  certainly  not  blasphemous to take  kunal's  name  in the  same  breath .
As Albert  Einstein  said  ' I have no special  talent . I'm only  passionately curious'..
Kunal  is passionate  about  his work. . His honesty  and  his  hard work  shines  thru.  He is a joy  to watch on screen.
So all you  ph. . Hear us loud  and  clear.  There  are  thousands  of screaming. We care  two hoots  about  good  looks.  Let  go your  obsession  of  model  looks  and zero talent.  Kunal  karan  kapoor  is the  man to look  for.  He is waiting  to explode.  Look at his body  of work  and  you  will  understand  why  his legions  of fans  grows  with  each passing day.
 Kunal -it  ain't  about  how  hard  you  hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving  foward.

You are the  best.  We love you.
Waiting  fr  the  second  round  of knock out punch.
