I am extremely happy for Sanjay: Anil Kapoor

Despite being a talented actor, Anil and Boney Kapoor’s brother Sanjay Kapoor never got his due recognition. Now, after a successful outing in Lust Stories, new doors seem to be opening for him, and Anil couldn’t be happier.

“I am extremely happy for Sanjay. He has done a terrific job in Lust Stories, and I am glad he is getting his due as an actor. He also had a cameo role in my film Mubarakaan, and I am looking forward to doing something interesting with him in the future. I hope things fall into place,” Anil says.

Sanjay has bagged a prominent role in his niece Sonam’s film Zoya Factor. Meanwhile, Anil will be seen in Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga.

Looking back at his over 40-year-long career, Anil says, “It’s been really great. I had my share of struggles until Woh Saat Din, and after that, things were relatively steady. But I’ve also seen my downfall.”

These days, the actor is often compared with superstar Amitabh Bachchan for his longevity. He responds by calling it a “huge compliment”.

“I am myself; I can’t be anybody but myself. People said the same thing when I started my career. I didn’t take it seriously then, and I don’t take it seriously now. But just the fact that they take both our names in the same breath is a huge compliment,” Anil says.
