What is it about Anil Kapoor that refuses to dilute his charm? For people like us, it's watching movies like Kishan Kanhaiya, Beta and more.

In an industry where equal pay is still discussed and not applied, Kapoor has been part of several movies that had strong female characters leading from the front. But despite that, he never got overshadowed by their prowess. That's the charm of Anil Kapoor. Even when he isn't the main character, he exudes the main character's energy effortlessly. Anil Kapoor Birthday Special: Here's What Makes the Bollywood Person a 'Jhakkas' Person.

It's strange how not many people talk about this amazing aspect of Anil Kapoor's filmography. So on his birthday, we decided to list these films here for you to watch them.

Beta

Even though the story is about Kapoor and his slow nature, the powerful characters in the movie were Aruna Irani who played his stepmother and Madhuri Dixit, who plays his wife. But despite such dauntingly strong female characters, Kapoor shined with his sincere portrayal.

Laadla

We all know who is the lead in this film, Sridevi of course. What a powerful role! and yet Sridevi's role wouldn't have reached its peak without guidance by Kapoor.

Judaai

Two women fight over one man and his wife sells him off to the other woman for money. Anil Kapoor downplayed his role so well to let Sridevi's twisted desires come to the forefront is an example of how secure he is as an actor.
