Anil Kapoor, one of the top ten heroes of the Bollywood, was born on the eve of the XMAS ie 24 Dec. Anil's family consists of his dad and mom, his two brothers - Boney Kapoor the producer Sanjay Kapoor who is also an actor and one sis who lives in Delhi. However, the family somehow belongs to the KAPOOR dynasty as Raj Kapoor and Anil's dad Prithviraj Kapoor are cousins in relation.

As for the debut in Bollywood, Anil's first movie was "Woh Saat Din". His films "Andhar Baahar", "Maashal" and Shakti" did pretty well at the box office as ANIL co-starred with Dilip Kumar, Jackie Shroff and Amitabh Bachchan respectively. Anil actually got a chance to prove his skill when SUBHASH GHAI, one of the Hollywood's pride, offered him "Karma" in which ANIL's performance won the applause of the industry as well as in "Ram Lakhan" in which he could dance stunningly to the tunes.

Though Anil's first phase in filmi world is a combination of hits and flops, the way he later could get the attention and attraction and the way he withstood the unmatching competition in the industry thus becoming one of the top ten, was always outstanding.

In 1989, Tezaab did all the magic for Anil Kapoor in which his "Munna" characterisation has got all the praise instantly shooting him right on to the top place. All the films of Anil with Sri Devi and Madhuri Dixit are major hit films in his career that the dual combination meant so much . "Mr. India", "Lamhe" and "Laadla" with Sri Devi hit the box office and "Tezaab", "Ram Lakhan", "Parinda" and "Kishan Kanaiah" with Madhuri Dixit could bring the best out of him successfully. YASH CHOPRA's "Lamhe" projected Anil in two dimensional romance with Sri Devi. In ,"1942 LOVE STORY", Anil plays a very much diplomatic role with Manisha Koirala.

Subhash Ghai's "Taal" Starring Anil Kapoor, Akshay Khanna and Aishwarya Roy is a Mega Musical hit, as well as "PriyaDarshan's" "Hum Aapke Dil Me Rehate Hain" starring Anil and Kajol is a musical hit and later Anil's - "Mann" - was a super hit and did well at the box office.

Today, Anil Kapoor enjoys the hi-fi stage as far as his filmi career is concerned but throughout he worked hard to achieve this place that he is nowin and his VIRAASAT won him VIDEOCON SCREEN award in the best actor category in '97. Anil's award gallery includes Best Supporting Actor for "Maashal" in '84, Best Actor for "Mr. India" in '88, "Tezaab" in '89, "Beta" in '93 from FILMFARE, and "Viraasat" in '97 from VIDEOCON and SCREEN. And he got Critics Award for "Viraasat" in '97 from FILMFARE.

Anil Kapoor, apart from his most successful profession that keeps him busy with sort of a tight schedule, is a family man. He got married to his dress designer Sunita who owns an integrated dance and exercise academy in JUHU. It's one of the best aerobic gyms in BOMBAY. Anil's got two daughters Sonam and Rhea and Harshavardhan, the heir to the Kapoor dynasty.
