Shakti Kapoor and Shivangi Kolhapure have been married for over 40 years now. The two tied the knot in January 1982 and have two children – Shraddha and Siddhanth Kapoor. However, in an earlier interaction with Timeout With Ankit YouTube channel, Shakti Kapoor revealed how he begged Shivangi to quit her acting and singing career before they decided to get married. The actor mentioned that he wanted Shivangi to become a housewife and is forever thankful to her for giving up her career.

“I met her. She was a child artiste, and I was playing an older character in the film. She is 12 years younger than me. We met, fell in love, and I thought to myself, ‘Where will I find such a homely and beautiful girl?’ One day, I told her that my work was getting disturbed, and I needed to focus. She got very angry," he said.

    “I went to her and begged her. I apologised and told her I wanted to marry her. I also said that I wanted her to be a housewife. We had a court marriage. After that, everyone accepted our union. She gave up her singing career and everything else for me. To this day, I fold my hands and thank her for that," the actor added.

    Shivangi Kolhapure is from a well-known Marathi family. She is the sister of the actress-singer, Padmini Kolhapure. The late legendary singer, Lata Mangeshkar, was also one of her relatives. On the other hand, Shakti Kapoor comes from a Punjabi family. Reportedly, their respective families were not in favour of their relationship and therefore, the couple eloped in 1982.

    Shakti Kapoor and Shivangi Kolhapure’s families accepted their relationship after the couple welcomed their first child, Siddhant Kapoor. In 1887, they welcomed their second child, Shraddha Kapoor, who is a prominent name in Bollywood today.
