Nakul Kapur's big Bollywood debut 

Nakul Kapoor achieved the kind of stardom with his debut film that many only dream of. Despite his early success, the actor soon left the acting world.

Nakul began his career in a music video for the album Ho Gayi Hai Mohabbat Tumse and then appeared in the 2001 film Aaja Mere Yaar. However, it was his role in the 2002 film Tum Se Achcha Kaun Hai that catapulted him to fame.
