Actor Sanjay Kapoor, who has been in the industry for 30 years, has seen the ups and downs of showbiz closely. After seeing his career on a high note, he witnessed a downfall but returned to acting with ‘Lust Stories’ in 2018.
In an interview with Indian Express, the actor mentioned how the industry will always reward those who never give up. “It is a wonderful industry, it teaches you to be more grounded. It also teaches you that if you have it in you, your time will come. You can’t just give it away; you can’t just get frustrated and let it go. Sometimes it is just bad timing, the moment is not right. When I did a film called ‘Sirf Tum’, it was a super hit, but after that for one year I didn’t sign anything. Then I did a 30-minute segment in ‘Lust Stories’, which changed my life. Sometimes when you think everything is going to change, it doesn’t happen, but if you have the talent in you, it can get delayed, but it (success) will happen.”
Regarding his interesting lineup of work, Sanjay added, “After ‘Bloody Daddy’, you will see me in ‘Merry Christmas’, in a very loveable role. It is a totally different genre of a film. All my future projects are different too. In one I am playing a politician in the other, something entirely new. A lot of hard work has gone into it, it doesn’t come by chance. There is a lot of patience, focus gone into it. You can buy anything in the world but not experience. I have been in the line for 30 years, so there’s that much experience behind me.”
When questioned if has passed the same wisdom to his daughter Shanaya Kapoor, who is all set to make her acting debut, Sanjay signed off by saying, “She has seen my journey, how I have conducted myself, she has been living with me since the day she was born. If she didn’t understand this by being with me, then what use to spell it out. But, fortunately for me, she has taken the right things, understood what the industry is, what kind of hardships, focus and dedication it needs.”
