Despite working in over 43 films, this actor never gave a hit film. He made his debut with Sushmita Sen. Scroll down to read name.
Famous director Mahesh Bhatt has introduced several actors in Bollywood, from Anupam Kher to Rahul Roy. Bhatt has picked some of the finest actors. However, Mahesh allowed another actor by making him the lead in a film alongside Sushmita Sen. Despite his efforts, this actor was not able to spread his magic on the big screen and soon became known as one of the flop stars in the industry. We are talking about Sharad S. Kapoor. Sharad made his Bollywood debut with the film Dastak in 1996, where he played a character with grey shades. The movie also featured Sushmita Sen. While Sushmita went on to become a top lead actress, Sharad’s career suffered a setback.
After a string of flop films, Sharad’s career witnessed a massive decline, and he was later not even considered for movies. Apart from his professional life, the actor made headlines due to his personal life. He garnered attention when he tied the knot with Koel Basu in 2008, who is the granddaughter of Jyoti Basu, the former Chief Minister of West Bengal. Currently, the couple enjoys a comfortable life in Mumbai.
In a career spanning over three decades, Sharad has filmed 43 movies, but only a few turned out to be hits. He shared the screen space with superstars like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Hrithik Roshan. Despite that, Sharad’s acting career never took off.
Sharad Kapoor wanted to be an actor, but his family didn’t support him. He moved to Mumbai to follow his dream. It was difficult for him at first, and he had to struggle a lot. After many failed attempts, he finally got a small role in a TV show called Swabhimaan.
Somehow, Sharad caught Mahesh Bhatt’s attention and received an opportunity to be a part of Dastak. Despite his flops, Sharad is known for movies such as Jai Ho, Tamanna, Lakshya, and Josh.
Only the film Josh brought him recognition when Sharad was nominated for the Filmfare Best Villain Award. Sharad was last seen in The Good Maharaj, an unreleased Indo-Polish war epic film helmed by Vikash Verma and produced by G7 Films Poland. The movie also features Sanjay Dutt. Sharad Kapoor is also a successful businessman and owns two big restaurants in Mumbai and Bangalore.
