Kunal Verma, a name that resonates with many TV enthusiasts, recently made a remarkable return to the small screen after a seven-year break. Portraying Vihan in Star Plus’ much-loved show Jhanak, Kunal’s comeback is not just about reigniting his career, it’s also a story of balancing professional aspirations and personal commitments. In a recent conversation, the actor opened up about his life as a father to his adorable son Krishav and the challenges of juggling his roles on and off the screen.
“Work matters to me, but being a good person and spending quality time with my family is equally important,” he shared. The birth of his son marked a transformative phase in his life, encouraging him to take a step back from the limelight and realign his priorities. “I’ve cherished the time I spent at home, even taking over the kitchen at times. It’s been a truly rewarding experience,” he told India Forums.

Stepping back into the demanding world of television hasn’t been without its sacrifices. Kunal admits he misses spending as much time with Krishav as he did during his break. “I miss being with Krishav, especially now that I’ve resumed long working hours. But I remind myself it’s necessary,” he explained. Despite the hectic schedules, Kunal is intentional about the values he hopes to instil in his son. “I want to teach him the value of hard work and dedication. Even during my time away from work, I stayed focused on self-improvement, auditioning, reading scripts and honing my skills,” he said.
The actor is also grateful for the love and support he has received from his audience. “Television in India involves long hours and a lot of commitment, but the audience’s love and feedback keep me motivated. I’m happy to be back, working with such an incredible team,” he shared.
For Kunal, this return isn’t just about reclaiming his spot on the screen—it’s a testament to patience and perseverance. “Time is the greatest healer. Patience is essential and everything happens at the right time. Family will always be my priority, but I’ve learned to balance my personal and professional lives,” he reflected.
As Jhanak continues to garner praise, Kunal Verma is relishing the opportunity to shine in a meaningful project while embracing the joys of fatherhood. “Both phases, my time away from work and now, being back, are equally important. I give my all to everything I do, whether it’s my family or my career,” he concluded.
