He has some interesting things to share.

Ishqbaaaz actor, Kunal Kulbhushan Jaisingh aka Omkara turns 28 today, and on this occasion, he has some memories and birthday plans to share. Read as we put them together for you!

What are your birthday plans?

Umm, birthday plans… I am going to spend it with my dad and grand dad. I will take them out somewhere nice, for either lunch or dinner. So yes, that’s about it. It is also my first birthday that I am taking an off.

Your fondest birthday memory?

That would be the first birthday celebration that I had. My friends and all used to always have their birthday parties, and I asked for one too. And, that is when my mom dad organized a birthday party for me.

Craziest thing you’ve ever done?

Craziest thing? That would be when I had gone for bungee jumping. Just when I was on the edge, all set to jump, it was like I was struck by vertigo and I couldn’t jump. God knows what happened to me and I told that man that you dare not touch me, and he got all scared and sent the other person to take off all the harness.

A pinch me moment that you had?

Uh, that was when I saw myself on all those billboards of Ishqbaaaz and all the promotions that were going on. It was one amazing phase in my life, and I was like – Am I seriously living this?

A style icon that you look up to?

Well, myself.

One performance you are proud of…

That would be Star Parivaar awards, dancing to Humma Humma in water, 20 feet above the ground on that platform. That was something I’ll never forget.

Would you shave off your hair for the current role?

For my current role? Yes, of course. I can grow my hair for this, so why can’t I shave it off?

One role you’d swap the role of Omkara for?

Well, that’d be the role of Haider, which Shahid Kapoor played.

Your dream co-star?

Deepika Padukone it’d be. I am a huge fan of hers, and I really want to meet her once and click a selfie.

If not an actor you would have been?

It would be a business man.

Three things that top your list?

(laughs) Money, money and money. Actually no, it is my family, emotions and money.

If you had to sum up your life in a book title, what would that be?

Umm, Run for the money. (laughs) Or may be Half Girlfriend.
Okay seriously, it would be The Complete Man.

Worst pickup line used on you?

Sir, you are my heater, I am your ice-cream, you make me melt.

Most challenging scene till date?

That was when I had to play the psycho person with Priyanka in the show, that had seriously taken a toll on my brain.

One thing that brings a smile on your face?

Well, that would be all the love and appreciation that I receive from my fans and the fact that I am working and I am passionate about it.
