Anil Kapoor Biography
Anil has many film industry connections. His father, Surinder Kapoor, is a film producer. His elder brother, Boney Kapoor, is a successful producer whose banner is Narsimha Films.His younger brother Sanjay Kapoor is also a well known Bollywood actor though not as successful . He is the brother-in-law of the actress Sridevi with whom he has starred in many films.His sister Reena is married to Sandeep Marwah of the famous Marwah Films & Video Studios in Noida Film City. Anil's daughter, Sonam Kapoor, is starring in a film with Rishi Kapoor's son, Ranbir Kapoor.
Anil grew up in Chembur, Mumbai and went to Our Lady of Perpetual Succour High School.
He was the second child of his parents.He was a shy but happy go lucky kid during his childhood. His father, Surinder Kapoor was then the secretary to Shammi Kapoor and subsequently started producing films. His mother, Nirmal (Suchitra) was a house wife. His childhood was quite ordinary and spent in a Mumbai chawl at Tilak Nagar - Chembur.But he was always a bit of a dreamer and would play around all day bare-foot collecting empty cigarette packets and "Gold Spot" bottle caps, never coming home before night.
At the age of Seven,he got his first break.He played the young Shashi Kapoor in a film called "Tu Payal Main Geet". Bur unluckily, the film was never released, but right from then, he realised that this is what he wanted to do for the rest of my life.
Anil recently turned producer of the film "Gandhi, My Father" which focuses on the relationship between Mahatma Gandhi and his son Harilal Gandhi. The film released on August 3, 2007.
Although successful as an actor mainly in the 1980s and 1990s, Anil has had a bad stint as a producer, when his latest film, "Gandhi my Father", though heavily appreciated by critics, failing to do well the box office. His earlier film as both producer and star "Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja" produced by the Kapoor family was also a huge disaster at the box office. Anil has been unlucky as a producer.
He married Sunita Kapoor in 1984; the couple have two daughters and a son.Both of them first `met' on the telephone. Anil got her number from a common friend .After talking with eachother over phone for a couple of months , they decided to meet.And Anil fell in love with her at first sight. Sunita was a top model, living in a posh apartment whereas Anil was just a struggler with an attitude and big dreams at that time.Inspite of all differences they fell in love with each other.Their relationship deepened and matured for over 5 years.
When Anil got "Mashaal" and "Meri Jung" he proposed to Sunita and they got married on the 19th of May 1984, in a very private ceremony attended only by his family and close friends.Sunita Kapoor was a leading print model when Anil married her.Sunita is a well known Jewellery Designer and was the first woman to launch a fitness club, IDEA that turned into runaway success. Despite her hectic schedule and multiple interest, Sunita's priority remains her home, husband and children. She is completely involved in Anil's work and is an active participant in all my projects.Anil Kapoor's best friend is his wife Sunita.
