2005

In March 2005, India TV released a video allegedly showing Shakti Kapoor asking for sexual favour from an undercover reporter posing as an aspiring actress, in return for entry into the film industry.

He told the undercover reporter: "I want to make love to you ... kiss you" According to India TV, this was a sting operation to expose the phenomenon of casting couch prevalent in Bollywood.

This incident sparked a controversy in Bollywood and Kapoor was banned by the Film & Television Producers Guild of India.

Association of Indian Motion Pictures and TV Programme Producers decided not to ban him as no allegations against him were proved.

One week later, however, the Film & Television Producers Guild lifted the ban.

Kapoor claimed that the video clip in question was doctored and he has been framed.

After a long struggle in Bollywood, Kapoor was spotted by Sunil Dutt while he was making Rocky to launch his son Sanjay Dutt.

He was then cast as the antagonist in the movie.

But Dutt felt that his name "Sunil Kapoor" wouldn't do justice to his villainous stint and hence, "Shakti Kapoor" was born.

Kapoor is married to Shivangi Kapoor (elder sister of actresses Padmini Kolhapure and Tejaswini Kolhapure) and has two children, a son Siddhanth Kapoor and a daughter Shraddha Kapoor.
