A personality in his own right, this son of the famous villain of his time Jivan, Kiran Kumar is a man of courage and bag full of confidence. Though a Kashmiri by birth, Kiran Kumar is now a Mumbaiite to the core. His traces his lineage to the Kashmiri royal family; his grandfather was the vaziree vazarat.

The school years were spent at boarding in Indore. He enrolled at National College in the Mumbai's western suburb of Bandra for a while but at 15 decided he'd had enough and joined the Film and Television Institute of India [FTTI] in Pune for two years as by then he knew for sure that acting was his calling. In real life he has always been an introvert and a loner and says that could be because he spent so many years away from his family in hostels. He is his own best friend, he states. Aside from his wife he is quick to add. With over 30 years in the industry behind him, he is one of those rare types who is content with what he has and is still getting from the entertainment world and life in general.

So what is it with the erstwhile Lakhotiya Pathan (from the blockbuster film Tezaab) and today's favourite Papa (B4U)? KIRAN KUMAR bares it all to NUPUR REKHY, from his career graph to the immense struggle he has had in his personal life. Read on ... |
