Bollywood actor, Kay Kay Menon is hardly active on social media and his life remains a mystery for many. Despite being one of the most talented actors in the industry, the actor himself feels that he is good at "performing" not "promoting" which somewhat wanes his popularity with the masses. In an interview with a daily portal, Menon opened up about his lack of "self-promotional" skills. 

In the interview, when asked if he deliberately avoids self-promoting, Kay Kay Menon replied that he simply lacks those skills. He said he does not have the "expertise in those departments" adding that some people are, however, "blessed" with them. Menon does promote his work because, the actor feels, "that is required". He believes that his work should promote him.
