Mumbai: Shakti Kapoor is one actor who is as famous for his villainous roles as he is for his comic roles. Be it Nandu from Raja Babu or Batuknath Lalanprasad Maalpani aka Balma from Chalbaaz, we have always relished his variant characters. The actor has also been one of the favourites amongst the mimicry artists because of the peculiar role choice.
Born on September 3, 1952, in Delhi, the actor started his Bollywood career as a villain. However, over time, he made a space for himself with his negative as well as comic roles and has acted alongside some of the biggest names in the Hindi film industry.
