Anil Kapoor’s Elixir of Youth

Anil Kapoor is 69 and looks 40! “I don’t think I’ve done anything special to look the way I do,” he laughs. “It’s just self-discipline. When I was younger, my co-stars would make fun of me for not having enough fun. But I don’t think it’s important to party till the wee hours to be happy in life. I was very happy spending time with my family. I guess that inner peace shows.”

Being self-disciplined doesn’t mean Anil doesn’t let his hair down. “Of course, there are days when I throw caution to the winds, take a holiday, eat forbidden food and just chill. But when I’m working, I never compromise on my sleep and food habits.”

He feels blessed coming from a healthy lineage. “My dad and grandfather weren’t actors, yet they looked after themselves and lived full lives.”Anil adds, “Actors are paid to look their best. I focus on fitness. Always have something to look forward to every morning.”
