Actor Kunal Kemmu has opened up about his childhood memories of living in Kashmir during a tumultuous period marked by violence and fear, before his family's relocation to Mumbai. Reflecting on life as a six-year-old in Srinagar, Kemmu recalled an environment fraught with tensions and uncertainty.

In a conversation with ANI, the 'Golmaal 3' actor reminisced about the constant fear during his early years, citing incidents like sudden explosions and stone-pelting, which were common occurrences. He shared how hearing a loud sound could trigger anxiety, leaving people questioning if it was 'a cylinder blast or a bomb.'

Kemmu narrated the harrowing experience of witnessing a bomb blast near his home, describing it as akin to 'a film scene.' Despite the terror, Kemmu's recollections also capture a child's confusion and naivety, as he struggled to grasp the gravity of the situation, shielded by his parents' efforts.
