“I think it is a combination of choices that has worked for me like luck, directors and family. At the right time, right scripts and directors came to me and I made right choices and then my family. At home we share a friendly equation, so I don’t have to go outside to understand what is working and what is not. There is a pool of talent, with mind of their own in the family. I am a good listener. I listen and observe everything. I am an obedient actor and an obedient student of cinema,” Kapoor told PTI in an interview.

I have never dreamt that I should be the biggest star of the country or have lot of money. This has never been my aim. I want to make people smile and cry,” he adds.
