UNABASHEDLY ANNU KAPOOR

N front of the camera, there is an actor. Behind the camera, there is a director. On stage, there is a singer and in a studio, there is a radio disc jockey or TV presenter. Well, what if all these people were actually one person? Annu Kapoor—versatile is an understatement to describe a man who has played all sorts of characters on screen, right from a police inspector in 7 Khoon Maaf and a petty thief in Utsav to a comedic villain in Hum and an obsessive-compulsive sperm bank physician in Vicky Donor.

In the city to render timeless melodies at Pandit Jasraj's 52nd Pandit Motiram Pandit Maniram Sangeet Samaroha in CCRT, Madhapur, the actor opened up to CE about his journey, perspectives on life, and more.

Excerpts.
