Kay Kay: I am not a star

The actor relates flamboyance with stardom but personally prefers simplicity

By IANS . Mar 29, 2008

He ventured into films after doing an MBA and stints in theatre and TV. But talented actor Kay Kay Menon has carved a niche for himself by doing unconventional roles in movies like Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi and Corporate. However, he resists being called a star.

"There is a difference between a star and an actor. Anyone leading a flamboyant life can be a star, for instance (entrepreneur) Vijay Mallya. But he is not an actor," Kay Kay said.

"I have chosen to be an actor and don't believe in making my stepping-out-of-the-house an event. I am a very simple person," he added.

Kay Kay, an MBA, first worked in theatre and then gradually moved to television. In 1995, he made his debut on the big screen with Naseem, but he shot to fame with Sudhir Mishra's critically acclaimed film Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi.

Then there was no looking back and the actor earned rave reviews for his acting in Black Friday, Sarkar, Corporate, Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd. and Life...In A Metro.

When asked about his dream role, he said, "There is no dream role that I want to play because I keep dreams and roles separate."
