After having retired from the army he became a disciple of the spiritual guru and philopsopher, Osho and moved to Mumbai to work in the film industry. He not only worked behind the camera but also acted in many advertisements and films. A few years ago, he even published a novel called ” when Shiva Smiles”.
In Samar Khan’s book titled SRK-25 Years of a Life, Kapoor has contributed an essay sharing his thoughts on being known as the man who made Fauji and thereby made Shah Rukh Khan.
“I’ve been an actor, I’ve fought three wars, but all that anybody seems to remember is that I launched Shah Rukh 20 years ago. It amuses me to think that I’m given credit for something I played no part in. Shah Rukh’s parents made him, I didn’t. I didn’t make a superstar; I simply chose the right man for a job I had. What happened before or after that in his life has nothing to do with me,” he had written.
Kapoor was cremated in New Delhi on Thursday.
