There is a common belief among fans that every member of a prestigious film family can make it big in the Hindi film industry. But it is not true. Despite coming from a prestigious film family, he started with a flop film and later worked in many unsuccessful films until he got success on the OTT platform. Today, he is a filmmaker, and he and his wife are famous names on OTT.
Yes, we are talking about Sanjay Kapoor. His journey in the Hindi film industry has been full of ups and downs, with challenges at every turn. He was born to Nirmal Kapoor and film producer Surinder Kapoor. While his brothers include filmmaker Boney Kapoor and popular actor Anil Kapoor. At the same time, his nieces and nephews also include Sonam Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor, Harshvardhan Kapoor and more.
Sanjay debuted in 1995 with Prem opposite newcomer Tabu. The film was delayed several times and was a flop at the time of release. But his next film, Raja, with Madhuri Dixit, was a box office success in the same year. He played lead roles in many films like Auzaar, Mohabbat and Chupa Rustom: A Musical Thriller. He did not achieve much success and played supporting roles in films such as Julie, Luck by Chance and Shaandaar.
He became a film producer and later rose to fame by starring in web series like Lust Stories, The Gone Game, The Last Hour and The Fame Game.
On the personal front, he is married to former actress Maheep Kapoor, who rose to fame with Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives. The couple has two children, Shanaya and Jahaan Kapoor. Meanwhile, Shanahan is all set to make her Bollywood debut with ‘Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyan’ opposite Vikrant Massey.
