My Take
Shakti Kapoor fascinates me as the ultimate character-actor survivor. Over 700 films is a number that bends comprehension, and it speaks to a work ethic and adaptability that few leading men ever need to develop. He understood early that Bollywood's machine runs on dependable villains and comedians, and he became both, often in legendary tandem with Asrani and Kader Khan. A University of Delhi graduate choosing broad comic menace over respectability strikes me as a genuinely savvy artistic bet. Decades later, his Bigg Boss stint proved he could still read the public mood. That, to me, is durability practiced as an art form.
