He is tall, lanky and every bit as good looking as he came across in the artistic caper, Meenaxi. Meet Kunal Kapoor as he shares the highs of playing his character, and why he thinks Rakyesh’s sense of humor is dead pan!

What was the most interesting aspect about playing your character?

In RDB, I play a character called Aslam, who is a middle class boy from Chandni Chowk. He is the most rational guy of the group; and is someone who looks at all the perspectives in a situation before deciding on what to do. But what was really interesting about playing Aslam was that his predicament was such that even though he himself is a people’s sort of a guy, who doesn’t like fighting at all, the situations around him are such that he keeps getting pushed into confrontations. Aslam is also a very sensitive guy, sensitive to others feelings, and someone who will go out of his way to make people comfortable. So he is basically the nice guy of the group.
