•Kuch faida ho jaaye

Kuch faida ho jaaye

•So more than 30 years in cinema…how do you keep redefining yourself.

Well, I think from the time I started my career, you know like for example....us waqt sab guitar aur jeans and motorbikes wagera karte the….us waqt bhi maine aisi filme ki…you know which were unconventional…..my first film was with Satyu, then I worked with Mani Ratnam, I worked with Baapu saab, and…my first commercially mainstream film was Wo Saat Din where I played music director, I wanted to be a music director, Prem Pratap Patiala ho jaaye…which was completely unconventional…so I’ve always done these kind of films which are completely out of the box and I didn’t want…I had a Kapoor surname…Mein bole yaar, isse kaise hatte hum?

•But you were in no relation with kapoors, no second cousins, no third cousins

No, no…not even fifith and sixth man. Daboo always says we are relatives through satellite …but we are friends, we are very close friends

•It’s like in the hotel industry. If you are Oberoi you are in trouble, because everybody presumes you are related, you are part of the Oberoi family

No, no, no…absolutely

•In movies, if you are a Kapoor

And if in politics, you are Gandhi

•You’ll not be in trouble, you may do well actually

So that’s it, you know. That’s the way I’ve been

•But you know a lot of people confuse you with just another, one more Kapoor
