In a chat with Indian Express, Kapur said, “I might have done a week’s workshop many years back with Shahid but he’s an actor of his own caliber. He’s a very talented, forthright, honest, and hardworking young man. I had said 15 years back, that his strength lies in dramatic roles, which I think the producers and directors have heard now after almost 10 years. And lately, the kind of work that he has done, in the last 7-8 years is hugely commendable. He’s proving his mettle as an actor, time and again. I’m very proud as a father and as a co-actor.”

Pankaj Kapur’s wife Supriya Pathak, son Ruhan Kapoor and daughter Sanah Kapoor are also actors. But, he says that they rarely talk about films and acting at home. The actor is set to perform in Lucknow in his self-written play Dopehri. Even though he enjoys writing, acting remains his first love. “Acting is my first love. I’m also passionate about writing and direction. But in terms of creating different people, in terms of unfolding their lives in front of my audiences and camera, that forms a very intrinsic part of my being as an actor. And that passion has stayed with God’s grace, which is what is still making me work as keenly as I ever was, as an actor,” Kapur added.

Meanwhile, Pankaj Kapur was last seen in Jersey with Shahid Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur.
