Actor Kunal Kapoor, known for his versatility and thoughtful roles, recently opened up about a rather unexpected emotion he experienced while working on his latest project, Jewel Thief. While one might assume that shooting for a high-profile film would be a thrilling and lively experience, Kapoor revealed that, for him, the journey felt quite the opposite — it was surprisingly lonely.
In a candid conversation, Kunal admitted that although Jewel Thief features an impressive ensemble cast, including the highly celebrated Saif Ali Khan and the immensely talented Jaideep Ahlawat, his own scenes in the film did not involve working directly with either of them. This lack of on-screen interaction left the actor feeling somewhat disconnected during the filming process.
Kapoor confessed that while the excitement of being part of such a prestigious project was undeniable, the absence of shared scenes with his co-stars made the experience feel a bit isolated. He elaborated that for an actor, the opportunity to collaborate and exchange creative energy on set with fellow artists often helps build not only chemistry for the film but also genuine friendships off-screen. Unfortunately, the nature of his role in Jewel Thief meant that his storyline unfolded separately, away from the characters played by Saif and Jaideep.
Despite this sense of loneliness, Kunal expressed admiration for the project and his co-stars, acknowledging that while their paths didn’t cross during the shoot, he holds deep respect for both Saif Ali Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat’s work. He also shared that he looks forward to opportunities where he might be able to work alongside them directly in the future.
Kunal’s honest reflection gives fans a rare glimpse into the emotional side of filmmaking, reminding audiences that behind the glitz and glamour, actors often face personal and professional challenges that aren’t always visible on screen.
