Shakti Kapoor is one of the few such talented actors of Bollywood who happily accepted the tag of an iconic villain on the silver screen, which eventually led to his massive stardom. He has portrayed a plethora of terrible baddie criminal roles, of whom ‘Crime Master Gogo’ has been hailed as the audience’s favourite. But when it comes to his personal life, the real Shakti Kapoor behind all these characters is a deeply humble man married for over 37 years to his beloved wife and yesteryear actress, Shivangi Kolhapure. Well then, let us take a look at their impeccable love story.
Film sets was the place of Shakti and Shivangi’s first meeting
Much like any other Bollywood couple, the duo crossed paths on the sets of the 1980 film, Kismet, directed by Bhisham Kohli. Incidentally, the film featured Mithun Chakraborty and Shivangi’s sister, Padmini Kolhapure as the lead actors, along with Shakti playing the classic villain. But, as destiny would have wanted something in place, Padmini was replaced by her young, teenage sister, Shivangi due to the unavailability of her dates. Moreover, it also happened that both Shakti and Shivangi were given the same dates for the shoot, giving them a chance to be introduced to one another.
