Overview
- Kunal Kemmu told News18 on Tuesday that he has experienced industry lulls that left him home for six months to about a year after a film failed.
- He recounted that industry contacts urged him to hire PR teams, attend events, host people and send gifts as ways to get work, advice he says did not suit him.
- Kemmu said he instead focused on honing his craft and picking creative projects, using a carpenter metaphor to explain his belief that skill, not popularity, wins roles.
- The actor is currently busier with a slate that includes hosting the reality show The Alliance, a role in Golmaal 5 and directing projects such as Madgaon Express and Vibe.
- The comments highlight a broader industry trade-off where actors balance short-term visibility tactics against waiting for work that offers artistic satisfaction and longer-term career stability.
