Biography

Anil Kapoor
Anil Kapoor one of the top ten heroes of the Bollywood was born on 24 December 1959 Chembur Maharashtra India. His family somehow belongs to the 'KAPOOR' dynasty as Anil Kapoor's dad and Raj Kapoor's dad Prithviraj Kapoor are cousins in relation.

The debut film of Anil was Woh Saat Din. His films Andhar Baahar, Maashal and Shakti did pretty well at the box office as anil co-starred with Dilip Kumar, Jackie Shroff and Amitabh Bachchan respectively. Anil actually got a chance to prove his skill when 'Subhash Ghai', one of the Hollywood's pride, offered him Karma in which Anil's performance won the applause of the industry as well as in Ram Lakhan in which he could dance stunningly to the tunes.

Anil Kapoor enjoys the hi-fi stage as far as his filmi career is concerned but throughout he worked hard to achieve this place that he is now in and his Viraasat won him Videocon Screen Award in the best actor category in '97. And he got Critics Award for "Viraasat" in '97 from FILMFARE. Anil's Award Gallery includes 'Best Supporting Actor' for Maashal in '84, 'Best Actor' for Mr. India in '88, Tezaab in '89, Beta in '93 from Filmfare. He acheived National Award 2001 for his performance in Pukar (2000).

Anil Kapoor apart from his most successful profession that keeps him busy with sort of a tight schedule, is a family man. He got married to his dressdesigner Sunita who owns an integrated dance and exercise academy in Juhu. It's one of the best 'Aerobic Gyms' in bombay. Anil's got two daughters 'Sonam' and 'Rhea' and one son 'Harshavardhan'.

Anil's is looking forward this year 2004 for his four new release. Boney Kapoor's No Entry is a comedy with Salman Khan, Fardeen Khan, Bipasha Basu, Lara Dutt, Celina Jaitely and Esha Deol. Then there's Boney's other film Bewafaa which is a dramatic love triangle with Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor.

He also lined up with Sanjay Gupta's Musafir which is a thriller. And Ram Gopal Verma's 2'O Clock Murder an offbeat thriller.

Qoutes

I can't go to Hollywood and do bit roles!


It's not important for me to look as if I have stepped out of a gym with veins popping out of all the corners of my body.


The worst gossip about me was those insinuations about my friendship with Jackie Shroff.


Kajol was intelligent enough to realise her drawbacks. She called it a day before her weaknesses were exposed.


I have never treated myself as a commodity. I do not believe in this endorsement and ad film culture.


I still feel like a young kid on his first date, every time I enter the studios, I feel as charged up as ever. Perhaps the truth is simply that I love acting so much that the feeling transfers itself on screen.


I am good at acting. I want to be known only as a good actor. I want people to like my work both, from the industry and outside it.


Mannerisms don't amount to acting. Using style, sexuality and gimmicks is the easy way out.


I think, in all my career, I have never really worked for myself. I was always working for other producers and it was Boney who suffered in the bargain.


I am a producer's son, it is in my genes. It is bound to show up at one point or another. I became a hero by default.
