Suman Sharma meets the most energetic industry dad, Anil Kapoor, to find out what makes him tick even at 59.

At an age when most men think about retirement, Anil is going great guns. But even in the midst of all that action, his priority is his family. Nothing gives him more joy than being with wife Sunita and children Sonam, Rhea and Harshvardhan Kapoor. The evergreen star talks about the passions that drive him…
