‘THE RIGHT DECISIONS WERE ALL MINE, SO WERE THE MISTAKES’
Is enjoying his Actor Sanjay Kapoor, who is to focus success streak, says his mantra talking on work and let it do all the
Actor Sanjay Kapoor is currently going through a good phase in his career, with meaty projects such as Ali Abbas Zafar’s next with Shahid Kapoor and Sriram Raghavan’s Merry Christmas in his kitty.
He says it’s not as if he is only getting good offers now, but the frequency of these substantial offers have changed. “I would say I am definitely getting good offers and opportunities. You have to be patient. For example, you start getting better offers after you prove yourself with one project. For me, it was the anthology, Lust Stories. Eventually, you have to choose the best from whatever you get. People kept on asking me ‘Aap uske jaisi picture kyun nahi kar rahe?’ I would reply, ‘Jo offer ho rahi hain, ussi mein se karunga na?’ Jab milegi toh karunga,” confesses the 56-year-old.
Kapoor says he has never had to rely on advice from anyone. “Fortunately or unfortunately, I didn’t go through that stage. I made mistakes, which were my own. The right decisions were mine as well. So yes, that’s all I would say. Sometimes you are correct in your choices, but for whatever reason, it might not be the right time. Like two years back, I had done a great film, but then Covid-19 came after a few days. The timing was wrong. There are a lot of reasons. You can just work hard and give it your best, and leave the rest. It’s not in your hands. Apne kaam pe focus rakhna chahiye,” he ends.
While many say luck matters apart from hard work, Kapoor maintains, “It will come if it is meant to be. It’s not a miracle. If it has happened to me, it will happen to another person if he/she doesn’t lose focus.”
