Kunaal Roy Kapur, 35, is a rare person you meet in the world of Bollywood. His biography in his own words would read something like this: There was a guy, he was born, he got married, had two kids, was happy and he died. While it may sound really boring, it is rare to meet a man, who despite being in the glamour world, is so satisfied with his mundane, everyday life looking at the balcony of a building with his school friend and wife Shayonti Salvi and still feel really happy and content.

Ahead of his upcoming action entertainer, Action Jackson, he talks to Bombay Times about his driven older brother Siddharth Roy Kapur, his affectionate but filthy younger brother Aditya Roy Kapur and how he wants to direct a dark comedy soon.

Talking about his coming to Bollywood, he said, `My nana and nani were both dance teachers and had their own studio in Colaba, so, my mother too got trained in Latin American and ballroom dancing.` `She used to be a choreographer and used to teach dance. My father used to be in the army and subsequently he got into his own exports and imports business. I started acting on stage from when I was just about 12 and continued doing theatre through college and got selected for a show on television called Just Mohabbat. I did not finish my graduation. I was in Xavier's, but could not get the subjects I wanted.

I was not unintelligent but marks-wise, I was bad throughout school and would get marks in the 40s. My parents did not care as they knew that ultimately these things don't matter if you can find things that you would like to do or are good at. I was keenly interested in photography and assisted Boman Irani for a long time as a photographer. I had done this play with him called I'm Not Bajirao in 1996 while I was still a teenager. His acting career was just taking off at that time and so he was sort of winding up that time. So, I started running the studio with another boy till I was about 28.

I also did theatre with a whole bunch of people including Aamir Raza Husain and Alyque Padamsee before I directed a play called The President Is Coming. Rohan Sippy liked it so much that he produced a film based on it with me as the director. The film had Konkana Sen Sharma, but unfortunately, was slated to release on the eve of 26/11. We had to postpone the release to January when it ran for five weeks as there were not too many options. I subsequently auditioned for the role in Delhi Belly and was selected."
