Veteran actor Pankaj Kapur recently discussed his perspective on his career and life, expressing overall contentment as an individual despite some artistic dissatisfaction. Kapur characterized his lifestyle in Mumbai as a “middle-class life,” stating that he has never held lofty ambitions and acknowledges that some of his contemporaries may have accumulated greater wealth. He conveyed gratitude for receiving public recognition without it significantly disrupting his personal life. In an interview with SMTV, Kapur indicated he is 99.9% content, attributing a minor degree of discontent to not being offered the types of lead roles typically associated with prominent stars. He further identified himself as a “humble actor” rather than a star, appreciating his abilities for enabling him to lead a respectable life.
