Pankaj Kapur is proud of Shahid Kapoor as a father and a co-actor: “He’s a very talented, forthright, honest, and hardworking young man”

Veteran actor Pankaj Kapur is proud of his son Shahid Kapoor as a father and as a co-actor. They have worked together in Mausam and Jersey. He recently said that over the last 7-8, Shahid has done incredible work which is hugely commendable.

In a chat with Indian Express, Kapur said, “I might have done a week’s workshop many years back with Shahid but he’s an actor of his own caliber. He’s a very talented, forthright, honest, and hardworking young man. I had said 15 years back, that his strength lies in dramatic roles, which I think the producers and directors have heard now after almost 10 years. And lately, the kind of work that he has done, in the last 7-8 years is hugely commendable. He’s proving his mettle as an actor, time and again. I’m very proud as a father and as a co-actor.”

Pankaj Kapur’s wife Supriya Pathak, son Ruhan Kapoor and daughter Sanah Kapoor are also actors. But, he says that they rarely talk about films and acting at home. The actor is set to perform in Lucknow in his self-written play Dopehri. Even though he enjoys writing, acting remains his first love. “Acting is my first love. I’m also passionate about writing and direction. But in terms of creating different people, in terms of unfolding their lives in front of my audiences and camera, that forms a very intrinsic part of my being as an actor. And that passion has stayed with God’s grace, which is what is still making me work as keenly as I ever was, as an actor,” Kapur added.

Meanwhile, Pankaj Kapur was last seen in Jersey with Shahid Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur. ALSO READ: Shahid Kapoor charged a whopping Rs. 40 cr. for Bloody Daddy

Sunny Leone opens up about the reason of doing Bigg Boss; says it was for the ‘down payment’ of her new house

From facing backlash over her profession to making a name and brand of herself, Sunny Leone has established herself as a strong actress in the Indian entertainment industry. The Jism 2 star, who made her debut in the field with Bigg Boss, recently recalled her initial days in India and how she did the reality show to earn the down payment for their new purchase. In the same breath, the actress also opened up about meeting filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt but confessed that she didn’t know or understand his popularity in the country.

In an interview with Mid-Day, Sunny Leone revealed about the time she was approached for the popular reality show Bigg Boss and how she thought the money would help her in getting her dream home. She said, “I just thought that after I come home in a week or two, I can put a down payment on a house. I just got married, so we were looking forward to this idea of starting our life, and we were like, ‘Great, we’re gonna be able to buy a house or put a down payment on a house’. Then that was it, it was that simple.”

For the unversed, during her stint in the Bigg Boss house, it was visited by filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, who was one of the guests on the show. He was impressed by Leone and went on to offer her the first Hindi film, Jism 2. Sunny, who hails from the US, confessed that she had no idea about Bhatt or his work. “At that moment, I didn’t think it was real, because I didn’t even know who he was. They just said this is so and so from the film industry, and everybody else was going bananas in the house. This whole buzz was happening, and I was like, ‘Okay, fine, great. I don’t know who he is but he is probably amazing’,” she added.

Interestingly, currently the director of Jism 2, Pooja Bhatt is in the Bigg Boss OTT house as one of the key contestants of the show.
