Kunal Kapoor may have had only three releases in last seven years but the actor says he did not want visibility at the cost of quality work.
	The 38-year-old actor, who made his debut with M F Hussain's "Meenaxi" and shot to fame with "Rang De Basanti," said the feeling of working continuously was always there, but he did not get good roles.
