 Born in 17th October, 1965 to film producer Surinder Kapoor, Sanjay Kapoor is the youngest among his two brothers- film actor Anil Kapoor and producer Boney Kapoor and a sister, Reena Marwah. He married his long-time NRI girlfriend and former actress Maheep Sandhu in 1997 and is blessed with two children, Shanaya and Jahaan Kapoor. Most of his films could not garner much success at the box office, however he managed to gain praises from critics for some of his performances. Sanjay Kapoor has also appeared on Indian television.
Career of Sanjay Kapoor
Sanjay Kapoor made his debut in Bollywood in the 1995 film Prem opposite the National Award winning actor Tabu. Both the debutants gave a fairly decent performance in the film but the movie was delayed for many years as it was in production since 1989. When the movie finally released, it tanked in the box-office and was not a huge hit. Soon after, it was followed by another movie called Raja opposite Madhuri Dixit which turned out to be a great success. Although the movie revolved around the male lead, Sanjay Kapoor, it was Madhuri Dixit who garnered more applause for her brilliant acting and dancing skills and Sanjay Kapoor once again could not cement his position in the film industry. In the following years, most of his films could not gain success at the box office or became average grosser.
Sanjay Kapoor acquired critical acclamations in the Esha Deol starrer Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe, where he portrayed an obsessive psychotic husband. And although the movie was a flop, but Sanjay Kapoor’s acting skills was noted for the first time. His performances in the flicks Luck By Chance, Julie and Qayamat: City under Threat also received praises from critics. In the year 2003 Sanjay Kapoor also appeared in the television serial titled Karishma - The Miracles of Destiny starring opposite Karishma Kapoor.
 Sanjay Kapoor is the founder and director of the Sanjay Kapoor Entertainment Private Limited company with his wife Maheep Sandhu. He turned to producing with his first production Tevar starring his nephew Arjun Kapoor in 2015. He also played a cameo appearing alongside his brother Anil for the first time in the 2017 film Mubarakan. He also plays the lead in a Vikram Bhatt's television serial called Dil Sambhal Jaa Zara, where an older man marries a much younger girl and how they make their marriage work. In early 2018, Sanjay Kapoor was cast in the web series Lust Stories, as a lead character opposite Manisha Koirala, for which he even received an award in the Bollywood Festival held in Norway. Upcoming projects involve the much anticipated movie The Zoya Factor where he is the on screen father to his real life niece Sonam Kapoor and there is also the Kannada film Seetharama Kalyana.
