Age no bar,

Anil Kapoor baar-baar

With over a hundred films in forty-plus years, Anil Kapoor remains one
of the most hardworking, diligent, disciplined actors across generations,
writes Suguna Sundaram

Anil Kapoor is a remarkably well preserved
sixty-six. He has the kind of spring and
youthfulness that elicit a double-take if
you didn’t know his age. He’s all set to
embrace his next role as grandfather. His
darling daughter Sonam and her husband
Anand Ahuja are expecting their first child,
due in a couple of months. Some of Anil’s
seeming agelessness is a blessing from
above. But for the most part, Anil works at
keeping himself physically fit, and youthful
in spirit. An enduring body of work right
from the early years, immense dedication, a
happy outlook and perennial smile, a great
sense of humour (balanced by a paradoxical
nonchalant gravitas), Anil Kapoor is one
of the most versatile actors in the industry,
across the decades. An actor for the masses
and classes, he is continually reinventing Kapoor is hands down one of the fittest actors in Bolly-
himself, as an actor and as a human being. wood thanks to his full on dedication to keeping fit
