Everyone has a weak point. Mine is food, says Anil Kapoor

Handsome Anil Kapoor had appeared alongwith Anurag Kashyap on Kareena Kapoor’s chat show, What Women Want. The topic that was being discussed was gender equality in films. He spoke about how actresses want to do women-centric film, but somehow can’t.

Anil explained, “There are times when girls want to do films which are girls centric or women centric but sometimes young girls are so influenced that they still want to do films with successful heroes. They feel safer. They somehow feel scared and want to play safe. So there is that side as well. We have to push them and tell them to not feel scared and just do it.”

He added, “All leading ladies have done their best films with me. Be it Madhuri (Dixit) Aishwarya (Rai) or Sridevi or Kajol. You see those films and the actresses are phenomenal in them. There have been so many films in which the leading actresses wanted more money and did them happily.” The actor made a confession on social media a few months ago.

He wrote, "Everyone has a weak point. Mine is food. The Punjabi boy in me needs the taste buds ignited, my eyes always bigger than my belly."

He added, "During lockdown, I have set myself the task of achieving a new sharper look. This new look needs a new approach to eating. Both Harsh and my trainer Marc have taken it upon themselves to remind me constantly and lay down eating plans. I try and I battle. Sometimes I even fall. And what I've learnt through it all is that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. So everyone in the house had to get involved."
