STAR BUZZ
ANIL KAPOOR
He has been a part of
Bollywood for over
35 years, but Anil
Kapoor at 60 (yes,
that is his age) seems
to be drinking straight from the fountain
of youth. The only thing that
unfortunately slowed him down,
“temporarily”, he is quick to add, is a
recent inflammation in his left leg,
because of which he has been advised
strict bed rest for a month. The actorproducer
is down with knee bursitis, an
inflammation in the leg which can prove
permanently damaging to the leg if not
treated properly.
The actor was in the midst of
wrapping up the shoot for Mubarakaan,
which also stars nephew Arjun Kapoor.
“I love my work and I take it seriously,
but not myself. However, if I commit to
something, I will give it my 100 per cent.
Besides that, I don’t consider myself a
genius,” Kapoor says, while speaking
about his life, career and kids.

Staying healthy and fit is just a matter of
discipline. I think I look better now than
I ever did. I believe sugar is my biggest
enemy so I avoid it. Also, I fear my wife
Sunita. So I ensure she sits next to me
whenever possible, during dinner or on
night outs. She ensures I don’t eat what is
not good for me.
What are your meals like?
Very boring, I must be honest (smiles). In
fact, all my co-stars complain that I sleep
too early and eat too little and too
healthy. For the first three days of the
week, I stay away from all solid food, and
stick to juices, milk shakes and a solution
that is packed with minerals and carbs.
On the fourth day, I eat some light food,
