Kunal Kemmu reflects on 'child actor curse' after Kalyug debut

Actor Kunal Kemmu looked back at the challenges he faced while transitioning from a successful child artiste to a leading hero in Bollywood. The actor revealed that he was once told that child actors could never make it big or even land successfully, right when he made his debut with ‘Kalyug’. Speaking candidly with IANS, Kunal shared that he was subjected to stereotypes even before getting a fair chance as a lead actor. I feel that sometimes we come to judge too early. This same question was asked to me when ‘Kalyug’ was released, that child actors never become successful lead heroes. And I said, “This is a very wrong thing that you said. I haven’t even started yet.” The actor went on to speak about how people are often quick to label every setback as the ‘curse’ of being a child actor, the moment a movie of a child star flops. ‘Then your film goes on. Then you see a downfall or a down curve. That’s when you start asking yourself, “Is this now …

The first two episodes of Alliance wasted no time in proving one thing: it isn’t here to ease viewers into the game. Hosted by Kunal Kemmu, the new reality show opened with 16 contestants entering the house in eight pre-decided pairs, only for those partnerships to be shattered within minutes.

However, Kunal immediately introduced the show’s first twist, breaking every pair and asking them to form four alliances of four members each: Kings, Warriors, Legends and Hunters. The first betrayal came even before the game had properly begun. Given an opportunity to switch alliances, Nikhil Chinapa wasted no time in abandoning his original team and replacing Ravi Kishan in the Kings alliance. …

And sometimes family relationships don’t last. Human existence is based on alliances. Back in the day, if you could not be a hunter or gatherer, you had to make alliances to survive. Alliances are what you need to survive,” he says. On camps in Bollywood …
