Career
Early television work
Before his breakthrough, Jaisingh appeared in supporting and ensemble roles on Hindi television. These early appearances helped establish him as a familiar face on the small screen.
Ishqbaaaz and Dil Boley Oberoi
Ishqbaaaz, produced by 4 Lions Films and broadcast on Star Plus, premiered in 2016 and centred on the three Oberoi brothers — Shivaay, Omkara and Rudra. Jaisingh played the middle brother, Omkara Singh Oberoi, an artist character, opposite Shrenu Parikh. The popularity of the trio led to the spin-off series Dil Boley Oberoi, which focused specifically on the Omkara–Gauri storyline before being merged back into the parent show. The role established Jaisingh as a recognised television lead and earned him a substantial fan following.
Subsequent work
After the conclusion of his stint as Omkara, Jaisingh continued to take on roles in Hindi television serials and made guest appearances on celebrity-centric television formats. He has also been featured in music videos.
Personal life
Kunal Jaisingh married actor Bharati Kumar, whom he had known for several years before their wedding. The couple's marriage was widely covered in the entertainment press and attended by several of his television industry colleagues.
Significance
Jaisingh's portrayal of Omkara contributed to the success of Ishqbaaaz, which became one of the prominent Hindi family dramas of the late 2010s. The on-screen sibling chemistry between the three Oberoi brothers — alongside Nakuul Mehta and Leenesh Mattoo — is regarded as one of the show's defining strengths and remains his most identifiable contribution to Indian television.
