He was born on 19th December 1976 and is a Sagittarius with a mild influence of Capricorn according to his star sign. He was born in an affluent family in the municipality of Baramulla district, which is in the northern part of the Indian state Jammu and Kashmir, but from there he has moved to live in Madhya Pradesh’s Hoshangabad Town. He is reportedly influenced by the magically realistic Hindi writer , the literary movement Nayi Kahani’s stalwart , and the German-American poet of Los Angeles, Henry Charles Bukowski.

The Drama had the character played by who went on to become Kaul’s good friend and associate.

Ram’ in “” - the directed 2007, National Award winning, Hindi movie that was based on a true story of Indian POWs of Indo-Pak war of 1971.
