MUMBAI: Veteran Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor has spoken about his family and career, describing his daughters Sonam and Rhea Kapoor as a major source of joy in his life.

Recalling the birth of his daughter Rhea, Kapoor said he arrived late at the hospital and regretted not being able to see her on time. He said the experience stayed with him throughout the night.

The 69-year-old actor, speaking on The Anil Kapoor Show, said his daughters were nothing short of a blessing and that his family was more important to him than his career.

According to Kapoor, Rhea’s birth made him realize the additional happiness that having a daughter could bring. With two daughters, Sonam and Rhea, he said that happiness had effectively doubled.

Kapoor began gaining prominence with the 1983 film Woh Saat Din and has built a career spanning more than four decades in the Indian film industry.

The actor remains active in show business and is currently hosting a quiz show.

MUMBAI: Veteran Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor has revealed that he declined a cameo role in the sequel of the upcoming film Dhurandhar 2, calling it a missed opportunity on his part.

The 69-year-old actor said he was approached by filmmaker Aditya Dhar for a brief appearance in the film, which is reportedly based on the gang wars of Lyari in Karachi.

Speaking to Indian media, Kapoor said he liked the offer but had to turn it down due to scheduling conflicts.

“Aditya Dhar came to me for Dhurandhar 2 and wanted me to do a small cameo in the film. I liked the proposal, but I couldn’t do it because I had already committed my dates to another filmmaker,” he said.

Kapoor emphasized that professional integrity and honoring commitments have been key to his career. “What I am today is because of my professional honesty and keeping my promises. Talent alone does not make you successful,” he added.

He also described the decision as his own loss but expressed hope that he and Dhar would collaborate in the future.

Following his remarks, speculation has surfaced on social media regarding the role he might have played in the sequel.

Some fans believe he was offered the mysterious character of “Bade Sahib,” while rumors suggest that Emraan Hashmi could be cast in the role instead. However, the filmmakers have not made any official announcement yet.
