Annu Kapoor has disclosed that he was forced to compromise and change his name to Annu since Anil Kapoor was already a hero while he was a “zero.” In a recent interview with the media, Annu recounted how he had to change his screen name to his pet name when he first entered the film industry.Annu as a nicknameAlthough he was actually born Anil Kapoor, his family used to fondly call him Annu, and that nickname eventually became his screen name.Anuradha, Anil, Anupam, Anees, and Anwar are names that are frequently shortened to Annu in India, according to Annu. He said, “So, my family also called me Annu and that became my screen name. I am grateful for all that I have received as Annu Kapoor.I have always given my best. Waise, Anil ji se mera koi milna julna nahi hai (By the way, I do not meet Anil Kapoor).”Annu was asked in the interview if he had ever considered giving up acting. Realistically responding, he told the media that he had never considered that way because beggars cannot be picky. He needed to care for his wife and three children. Farmers like him do not have the luxury of thinking such thoughts, he continued, only wealthy people can. He continued by saying that acting is neither his hobby nor his passion.Bhagwan ka toh pata nahin lekin iss kahani mein punches bhar bharke milenge! 😆❤️#DreamGirl2 in Cinemas on 25th August.@ayushmannk @ananyapandayy @EktaaRKapoor @writerraj #ShobhaKapoor @balajimotionpic @SatheGauri @annukapoor_ @SirPareshRawal #VijayRaaz pic.twitter.com/bMlXwBIXpy— ANNU KAPOOR (@annukapoor_) August 18, 2023 Famous roles played by Annu KapoorHis roles in popular films like Hum, Ek Ruka Hua Faisla, Ghayal, Hum Kisise Kum Nahin, Aitraaz, 7 Khoon Maaf, Jolly LLB 2, and many others have made him a household name.
