Shakti Kapoor recalls “begging” to his wife Shivangi to sacrifice her acting career: “I went to her and begged that don’t work”

In a candid revelation on the ‘Timeout with Ankit’ podcast, veteran Bollywood actor Shakti Kapoor recently shared the heartwarming story of his love life and how his wife, Shivangi Kolhapure, made a significant sacrifice for their relationship.

Shakti Kapoor recalls “begging” to his wife Shivangi to sacrifice her acting career: “I went to her and begged that don’t work”

Shakti Kapoor shared that their love story began on the sets of a film, where Shivangi was working as a child artist. Despite being 12 years younger than Shakti Kapoor, she was an ardent fan of his. They first crossed paths when she took photos with him on set, and destiny played its part in bringing them together.

Kapoor reminisced, “Then we met and fell in love. I realized I would not find such a beautiful and homely girl elsewhere. That’s how we started seeing each other.” However, the intensity of their love initially distracted Kapoor from his work, causing him to fear that it might negatively impact his career. He decided to communicate his concerns to Shivangi, which left her furious. In response, she accepted an offer to act in Sawan Kumar Tak’s film, Laila.

This decision created turmoil in Kapoor’s life, as he humorously recalled, “Meri halaat kharab hogayi (I was worried), as I was the Majnu in her life.” He added, “I went to her and begged that don’t work. I want you as a housewife.”

Shakti continued, “It’s been 40 years with her. She gave up her career for me. I still fold my hands in front of her. I got married at the peak of my career, and she brought me more luck and prosperity. We then had a son and daughter, and built our own family.”

Their love story culminated in a court marriage in 1982, as their parents had not yet accepted their relationship due to cultural differences. It wasn’t until the birth of their son that Shivangi’s parents finally embraced their relationship. Over the course of 40 years of marriage, Shakti and Shivangi built a loving family, which includes their son Siddhant and daughter Shraddha Kapoor, both of whom have followed in their father’s footsteps as actors.
