‘I DON’T FEEL OLD’
Shakti Kapoor turns 70, but feels like he’s 30
Shakti Kapoor does not believe in the concept of growing a year older with each of his birthdays. The actor says that his energy level can give any youngster run for their money, quite literally.
Kapoor, who turns 70 today, says, “I don’t feel 70, I don’t feel old at all. I feel like I am in my thirties. I feel somewhere around 33 to 38. My energy level can match up to any youngster and I feel I am more fit and energetic than them. I do my walking and have a 35,000 steps-per day mark. My physical level and mental level is that of a 30-year- ld ld ”
Kapoor, father to actors Shraddha Kapoor and Siddhanth Kapoor, says that people often complain that he doesn’t behave his age. “People tell me, ‘Oh you don’t behave like the father of two grown-up kids’,” the actor notes. However, he also wonders at times where all these years went. “I was 21 when I did my first film and today I am 70, and so much has changed in life. I do think of my journey so far and start realising what a fruitful journey I have had. I lived a life kingsize, full masti se enjoy karte hue,” he shares. “As a boy from Delhi I came with nothing, and am working even till today. I am doing two webs series and recently completed a film. I am going to be very py on this birthday,” he

But my ily, especially Shraddha, ow very excited about birthday,” he says. ince this is a milestone hday for him, his family is nning something special. s not going to be a big y, only family, is what I ume. We are having a ch which Shraddha is anising. And Siddhanth is anising a surprise which I not aware of,” he cludes.
