He had received his first Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the film, Mashaal. In a career span of 40 years, Anil has won numerous awards, including two Nation Film Awards and six Filmfare Awards.

Anil Kapoor celebrated his birthday on the sets of his upcoming film, Jug Jugg Jeeyo with his co-stars, Kiara Advani, Prajakta Koli, Varun Dhawan and Neetu Kapoor. His wife, Sunita Kapoor too joined them for the cake cutting. Dressed in a black-coloured jacket and trousers, Anil looked dapper as he posed for the camera.
Last year on his birthday, in an interview with the Hindustan Times, Anil had revealed the reason why he was never fond of celebrating his birthday. He had said, “I never became a birthday person because my birthday falls on Christmas eve. We usually have the eve parties, and both coincide with each other. So, it’s more about celebrating Christmas than my birthday. In the past, I used to have small parties, which got bigger and bigger, but now, it’s back to being small. It’s all about my family now.”
Anil was a struggler when he had met the gorgeous model, Sunita. It was through his friend that Anil had gotten Sunita’s number and the two had started talking on phone before meeting in person. After talking on phone for over a few weeks, the two had met each other for the first time and by that time had developed a strong liking for each other.
