Shraddha Kapoor: The Family Man - Shakti Kapoor

The Family Man - Shakti Kapoor

Shakti Kapoor may play a bad man on screen but in real life he is a complete softie. His wife and children are his life and slowly but surely he has been actively helping the kids chart out their life ahead.
His daughter Shraddha will be making her Bollywood debut in Teen Patti which also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Mahadavan, Mahesh Manjerekar and dad Shakti. “Now we share a great time at home. We discuss each other's scenes…Shraddha sits with me everyday for half an hour discussing how her movie is coming along. She has been shooting for the past two months but it was stopped because of illness of Bachchan Saab. It is great that she got a chance to work with him in her first movie,” says a proud daddy.

Shakti Kapoor’s son is also hoping to pursue his acting dreams. His son, Siddhanth, used to be a DJ but Shakti says he is now planning to take his acting seriously.

“My son will not become composer - he will become a hero only. He used to be a DJ. That is his hobby…he enjoys it and that is why he tried his hand in it. My daughter Shraddha is already ready with her launch. And soon my son Siddhanth will also be seen in a movie,” he says.

But Kapoor says while he may actively participate in his kids’ lives, he never forces them to take any decision.
"I never tell them which films to select. My daughter has studied in Boston. She is more mature than me and in fact sometimes I take her advice. We do not have that ego hassle in our home…it is all mutual and we treat each other as friends," he says.

And it looks like acting is the only focus in the Kapoor household. Alongwith the kids, Shakti Kapoor is equally busy with his films.

“I am doing 6 films - two of them are for Priyan (Priyadarshan) Malamaal Weekly sequel and another one, one with Satish Kaushik - Khalbali Hai Kalhbali. Then I am doing films with Sanjay Dutt, Bhatti on Chutti is there and Kis Se Pyar Karu with Arshad Warsi .This is best time to work as there are lots of options available for us,” he informs.

"Now we cannot work like earlier where we are working in 10 films at same time.
We can only do max 4 films as nowadays star gives 20 days for the film then producer take all crew somewhere out of the country ,so we cannot regularly come and go there. Like Akshay or Govinda has given these many dates then we have to finish shooting during that time."

Lastly he says that he likes playing stylized villains in the films but then he has been typecast for his comedy roles, he will also see as hero in Tara Sitara film.

Good Luck, Shraddha Kapoor!
