“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.

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.
