Kapil Nirmal (born 23 November 1980) is an Indian television actor who is best known for his portrayal of Yudishtir Sishodhia (also known as Kunwar Yudishtir) in the popular Star Plus serial Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat produced by Rashmi Sharma's Sunrise Telefilms.

Background

Kapil was born in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. He is the eldest of two brothers. Before deciding to follow a career in acting, Kapil did a post-graduate degree in Marketing. He worked in the corporate world for a year and a half before joining the tellywood industry. Kapil once aspired to join the Indian army, but he flunked his maths paper twice so he dismissed the idea. He has won the AXN extreme award 2006 for climbing the top of the tower, Mr Jaipur 2002 and silver medal in best body building.

Acting career

He began his acting career with ETV Rajasthan's show, Ina Meena Dika, then he went on to do a telly film, Roop Ki Rani. Kapil then shifted to Mumbai where he worked with Reliance Big Pictures. His first break as a lead happened with the show Shakira. He portrayed a police officer ACP Abhay Singh on the Bindas channel. This show did not go down well with the Indian audience due to the fact the lead actress played such a macho police officer image. The show was taken off air a few months after starting. This role of the dashing police inspector gave him the opportunity to fame as soon he got a call from the producers of the show Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat.

Kapil participated in the season 4 of Nach Baliye with his onscreen cum offscreen sweetheart Anjali Abrol. They were popularly called as "Dark Horses" and were among the top four contestants. They are fondly called by their fans as "Kanjali". Completely being from non-dancers, they started their journey slowly but gradually carved themselves into judges as well as the audience's heart.

Kapil participated in the second season of Zara Nachke Dikha. He has done a small guest appearance in the show Tere Liye as a part of Durga puja celebration.

Kapil played one of the main leads in Imagine TV's show Pardes Mein Mila Koi Apna which was coincidentally produced by Reliance Big Pictures. Here he played the character of Sarje Rao, who was a ruffian, full of aggression, completely different from his soft-spoken Baraat avatar. With this role, Kapil proved what a versatile actor he is.

He played the lead role of Surya Rana Singh in Colors TV popular show Na Aana Is Des Laado which was produced by Shakuntalam Telefilms. He was cast opposite Vaishnavi Dhanraj who played the role of Jhanvi. His character had grey shades in the initial stages but later turned positive.

He has made an appearance in Javed Ali's music album Yaara

He was also seen in Star Plus's popular show "Veera - Ek Veer Ki Ardaas" produced by Yash & Mamta Patnaik's Beyond Dreams as Nihaal Singh opposite Sneha Wagh who played the role of Ratan in the show. His acting was highly appreciated and also loved for the way he shared the camaraderie with the kids.

Presently he is seen in Sony TV's Box Cricket League produced by Ekta Kapoor as part of Ahmedabad team.
