/> The intense Rang De Basanti actor who picks roles as carefully as a connosieur picking fruits at an orchard says cinema is only one of his predominant passions. Kunal Kapoor's other interest writing poetry in his spare time.

Says Kunal, "I read and write a lot. I'm a struggling poet," he jokes. "I've never shown my work to anyone else. I write it all for myself. And I'm not interested in showing it to anyone. "

Kunal's inherent shyness propels the poet in him to come to the surface. "I find it very hard to talk about my relationships, whether it's a girlfriend, sister or just a friend...I can't bring myself to discuss them in public. That's where the poet in me surfaces. Poetry helps me to exteriorize my thoughts."

Kunal writes religiously every day and has reams and reams of thoughts expressed in poetry in Hindi and English..

"I've been writing every day for the last eight years. And keep going back to them to check my own life. It's deeply cathartic. I don't want to publish it right now. Strangely I'm not a loner. I like people. But I'm not much of a drinker and I hate parties. For me fun is being with people I trust and love.... and writing poetry."

One person Kunal adores is Jaya Bachchan. "The minute I heard I heard Jaya is in Pradeep Biswas' Laga Chunri Mein Daag I was on. Jaya-ji has been an idol from the time when I saw her in films like Guddi, Uphaar and Abhimaan."

On the first day that Kunal met Jaya on the sets he was as nervous as a school-boy. "To me working with Jayaji was the biggest high. I never thought I'd one day be in the same film she's doing."
