Producer Boney Kapoor recently underwent hair transplant and in a chat to speak about his transformation, the producer shared that when he was younger, he often wondered why he didn’t become an actor. Boney then went on to speak about his brother, actor Anil Kapoor, and his passion for acting and how he sincerely worked towards becoming an actor. He shared an anecdote where he recalled that when a young Anil got his first opportunity as an actor, he didn’t bathe for 2-3 days because he didn’t want to wash off his make up.
Boney shared with ABP, “Anil always wanted to become an actor, when he was in school he played the role of Shashi Kapoor’s child version, he was so passionate at that time that he didn’t bathe for 2-3 days. He didn’t want the makeup to come off so that everyone would come to know that he had become an actor.”
Boney further added, “He struggled a lot, played a role in Ek Baar Kaho where he played a sidekick of the second hero. He did films in Telugu and Kannada, he starred in Mani Ratnam’s first film. He has been hardworking, during one Ramesh Sippy film, Anil shaved his entire chest hair to look like a 16-year-old. He would do pull-ups to increase his height.”
Anil Kapoor has now been acting for close to 45 years in the movies and continues to play significant roles in movies. He was last seen in 2024’s Fighter and Savi. Anil will next be seen in Prime Video’s Subedaar where he stars alongside Radhika Madan, who is playing his daughter in the film.
