Bollywood actress Shakti Kapoor has made a name for herself by playing some of the most iconic and memorable villainous roles in Hindi cinema. However, before she became a household name, her parents were not too pleased with the kind of roles she was choosing to play. In a recent interview, Kapoor revealed a pivotal moment in her early career that left her family in a state of shock.
According to a report by Indian media, Kapoor shared a story from her early days in the industry when she was struggling to make a name for herself. She recalled how her parents had expressed their disapproval of her choice of roles. “I had just released two of my big films, and another big film ‘Insaniyat ke Dushman’ was about to release. I asked my parents to watch the film, but as soon as it started, they were shocked to see me in a scene where I was seen pulling a girl’s dupatta,” Kapoor said.
Her parents were visibly upset and quickly asked her to leave the theater. Kapoor’s father scolded her, saying, “You’re doing the same things on screen that you used to do earlier. Look what you’re doing now. I don’t want to watch this film.” Kapoor’s parents were uncomfortable with the kind of image she was projecting on screen, and they scolded her for her choices.
Despite their disapproval, Kapoor was determined to pursue her passion for acting. She told her parents, “You gave birth to me, and this is the face you gave me. No one is going to offer me a hero or a good guy role because of this face.” Kapoor’s parents eventually came to terms with her choices, and she went on to become one of the most iconic villains in Bollywood.
Kapoor’s revelation has sparked a conversation about the challenges faced by actresses in the industry. Many actresses have spoken out about the pressure to conform to certain standards of beauty and the scrutiny they face from the public and the media.
