To
clear all the doubts first, we are not
talking about Dasavatharam set White
house but the actual White house. Kal
Penn the famous Hollywood actor who
acted in movies like Superman Returns,
Harold and Kumar goes to White castle
and its sequel Harold and Kumar goes
to Gauntanamo bay or the famous 'The
Namesake' as Tabu and Irfan's son is
of Gujarati descent. He has also been
popular among the sitcom lovers by playing
the role of Dr. Lawrence Kutner, in
the famous sitcom 'House' for more than
1 year now. |

But apart from his acting career he
was very much inclined towards social
work and even politics.
Kal Penn was one of the few who worked
for Obama at the time of elections,
and continued his to be in touch with
the white house people. And suddenly
when his role was cut out from House
by the way of the character committing
suicide, everyone started asking questions
and that’s when people came to
know that this talented comedian from
India left House as he has got the ticket
to the White House. He is going to be
the associate director in the White
House office of public liaison. A rare
and once in a life time opportunity
for this young actor, and when asked
to him about the sudden change of career,
he said “It's probably because
of the value system my grandparents
instilled in me. They marched with Gandhi
in the Indian independence movement,
and that was always in the back of my
head”. Kal Penn or Kalpen to be
precise has indeed made all the Indians
proud. |
