Shakti Kapoor, the iconic villain of Bollywood movies, is a humble married man for 43 years with his beloved, Shivangi Kolhapure. The ‘Crime Master Gogo’ actor, much like any other Bollywood duo, fell in love with his wife on the sets of the film.
Shivangi comes from a long lineage of a reputed Marathi family, while Shakti belongs to a Punjabi family. With his background and his roles in the movies, her family was hesitant to the married. Let’s get to know better about the ‘love’ between the Kapoor Couple!
Looks like their love was written in stars, as the film ‘Kismet’ was supposed to originally feature Padmini, Shivangi’s sister and celebrated actor, with Mithun Chakraborty. The famed villain, Shakti Kapoor was also part of the film as the wrongdoer. Due to the unavailability of Padmini’s dates, her film was given to her sister. As the dates of the actors aligned, the stars aligned as well, even though their scenes weren’t together, according to Bollywoodshaadis.com.
Even after countless efforts to convince her family, they had no option but to elope.
The ‘Love at First Sight’ has its own charm, apparently, Shivangi fell too – only in the charms of Kapoor, whom she secretly. After the ‘Nandu’ actor reciprocated the feelings, they secretly dated for about 12 years.
Even after countless efforts to convince her family about marriage, she decided to elope. But, what is even an iconic love story without a twist? Her family got to know about her plans and decided to look her up in the room. However, the rebellious and courageous Shivangi managed to get out of the situation and eloped with Shakti, tying the knot in 1982.
Indisputably, the families were unhappy about the situation. Shakti’s family was convinced after knowing that she belonged to Late. Lata Mangeshkar’s family. While his in-laws were unhappy about the situation, with the birth of their elder child, Siddhanth Kapoor, the estranged family reunited. Following Shraddha’s birth in 1987, the families accepted.
Today, Shraddha is known for her iconic roles and immensely huge box office capability and Siddhanth Kapoor is known for being an assistant director and his acting roles. Moreover, the Kapoor duo serve to thrive after almost four decades of being married.
