Anil Kapoor: 'Nepo Kids Have Easy Access but Audience Decides' | India Today Conclave 2026

In a candid interview, Anil Kapoor spoke about his journey from Chembur to becoming one of Indian cinema’s most enduring stars. When asked about his favorite co-star, Kapoor humorously responded, "My favorite co-star is Anil Kapoor, me, myself." He discussed the nepotism debate, stating that while children of film families have easy access, "ultimately, you can’t win over the love of the audience. You have to work hard." Kapoor credited his success to his wife and family, saying, "I am what I am because of my wife, because of my family." He recalled his signature dance move from the Bhagwan Dada era, calling it the "bhajiya dance" which he has carried through his films. Reflecting on his illustrious career spanning collaborations with legends like Yusuf Saab, Bachchan, Sridevi, and Madhuri Dixit, Kapoor revealed that among all his accolades including Oscar stage appearance and Screen Actors Guild Award, the Hridaynath Mangeshkar Award holds special significance. He treasures Lata Mangeshkar’s voice message praising his immersive acting, saying, "What else do I need?"
