Shakti Kapoor has revealed that he considered quitting acting after being slapped repeatedly during a film shoot.
Shakti Kapoor, an actor and comedian, has appeared in a number of Bollywood films. He has appeared in over 600 Hindi films and is well-known for his villainous and comic roles. In the 1980s and 1990s, Kapoor appeared in over 100 films as the comical or evil team with actors Asrani and Kader Khan.
Shakti Kapoor was talking about working in the 80s, when he appeared on the comedy show The Kapil Sharma Show season 3 recently. (Also read: Shraddha Kapoor shares pic from dad Shakti Kapoor’s 70th birthday)
“After that (Satte Pe Satta), I did a film named Mawaali in the year 1983. When I was giving my first shot in the film, Kader Khan slapped me hard and I fell on the ground, then in the second shot, Aruna Irani slapped me, and I fell on the ground. The same thing happened for the third time,” Shakti said. Shakti Kapoor was accompanied by Goofy Paintal, Asrani and Tiku Talsania on the show.
For many this would be a very example of how to get into a relationship with directors and actors.

He then said that he got upset as he thought his career was over. “K Bapaiah was directing the film and Kader Khan was also a part of the film. I went to Kader Khan and told him, ‘I fall at your feet. Please book my evening ticket. I don’t want to be a part of this film. My career is over and I am not even married yet’.” Shakti Kapoor added that he decided to stay in the industry only upon Veeru Devgan’s advice.
Shakti also talked about how he got the film. “I did my first comedy film Satte Pe Satta with Goofy Paintal. It was a really great film; so when Raj Sippy approached me for a comedy role, I felt like As I am being praised for my villainous roles, then why are they liking me?” That too a comedian?”
Having ruled the early 80s and 90s with his portrayal of comic as well as villainous roles, Shakti Kapoor has had an impressive career. Most recently, he was seen in the Malayalam film Lucifer and also featured in the web show Guilty Minds that released earlier this year.
