The new kid on the block Karan Kapadia, who also happens to be Dimple Kapadia’s nephew, is making his debut with the film Blank. Karan who is extremely close to Dimple says she has been an inspiration in many ways.
“My mom was a single parent, she single-handedly raised me until I was 15-years-old and after that my aunt (Dimple) took over. I always say I am fortunate that I had two mothers growing up. My aunt has been a huge inspiration, she has always stood by me,” says Karan.
In the film Blank, actor Sunny Deol also has a prominent role. Karan’s mother, the late actor Simple Kapadia was also a costume designer on some of Deol’s films.
Karan says, “I have learnt a lot from them equally because they were both single parents and the struggle that they went through, the way they handled it, with so much of grace, and the way they balanced their personal and professional life is what I take great inspiration from. They have set the bar so high in terms of being an inspiration, I really learned a lot.”
While we see many newcomers making their debut with love stories, Karan took took a brave step. Helmed by Behzad Khambata, the storyline of the action-thriller revolves around the life of a suicide bomber essayed by Karan.
“This was the only film offered to me. I was auditioning for a while but nothing was working out. It was a difficult time for me so I got offered this film at a fortunate time, I just happen to be lucky that it was a great script,” reveals Karan.
