Shakti Kapoor Birthday: Five Catchphrases Of The Actor That Only He Can Pull Off
Shakti Kapoor's catchphrases are legendary. Whether it is said for comic relief or to show how his evil mind functions, they were perhaps the best punches ever. So on his birthday, we decided to talk about five such catchphrases of the actor that are iconic.
Being a villain in Hindi movies is something a lot of actors want to try. That's why you will find many superstars trying their hands at grey shades. Negative characters give you more room to explore and evolve than the hero because the latter is always stereotyped. But not everyone can pull off what Shakti Kapoor can. He has his own brand of cringe, remember 'Ballmaa' from Chaalbaaz? Still makes our skin crawl. Whether he is eve-teasing, or raping heroine, or just being pure evil, Kapoor does that with so much conviction that hating him becomes easy. However, since he is also an incredible actor, when Kapoor diversified into other character roles mostly comedy, people lapped him up. Throughout this journey, one thing that kept him in the audience's minds even today was his catchphrases.
