Whenever someone says, “Age is nothing but a number”; we secretly look in the mirror, stare at ourselves and laugh our hearts out because for us aging (or should we say getting wrinkles and dark circles) is something irrevocable.
While we soothe our hearts into believing that there is no such thing as looking ageless or young (half their age to be precise), time and again we stumble upon people who contradict this and how. From a 70-year-old grandma who looks younger than someone her daughter’s age or a 50-year-old woman who people confuse to be her son’s girlfriend, to our Bollywood heartthrobs who can give anyone half their age a run for their money; why is it that the ‘age’ clock moves in the reverse direction for them but not for us?
Keeping it cool with a hint of casual today! As they say this is my #OOTD ! #Mubarakan
In fact, I have actually started feeling that there’s some secret society of people who never look old. And Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor, known for being lively and larger than life, seems to be the president of this club, which we obviously never got an entry pass to. How else can anyone explain this?
Suited. Booted and ready to take over Ahmedabad. #MubarakanPromotions #Mubarakan
From his debut role as lead in ‘Woh Saat Din’, eternizing ‘Mr. India’ for all of us to rocking the Hollywood scenes like a true boss; Anil Kapoor has come a long way and given us some of the most exceptional films both in Hollywood and Bollywood.
#Mubarakan is so close and I can’t wait for you guys to see it! Time to be out & about in Delhi for promotions #4DaysToGo #AapKiAdalat
Pick any of his movies, ‘Lamhe’, ‘Humara Dil Aapke Paas Hai’, ‘Pukar’, ‘Nayak’, ‘Biwi No. 1’ or ‘Welcome’ and ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’; Kapoor’s acting trajectory has not only expanded with each film, but also spoke volumes about his exceptional acting and versatility.
Exchanging ideas & thoughts is what this evening is going to be all about! Excited to be speaking at #TheAlgebraArtsandIdeasClub today!
After flooring our previous generation with his flawless acting, Anil Kapoor till date rules our hearts with women going gaga over his charm. Today is this ‘jhakaas’ actor’s 61st birthday, but for someone who doesn’t know his real age can easily consider him as someone in his late 30s or early or mid 40s.
#FanneyKhan is a man of simple tastes..It’s his situation & circumstances that are complicated! @Kriarj @tseries.official @romppictures @rohanshrestha 📸 #whiteTseries
To make his birthday more special, Sonam Kapoor had some of the warmest wishes for him, which she shared along with some candid shots.
Happy birthday to the person who taught me to fight for what I believe in and to never stop chasing my dreams. Without you, I wouldn’t be half the woman I am today and for that I love you endlessly. â?¤ @AnilKapoor pic.twitter.com/93oOdeYp94

Sonam further wrote, “You have made me the person I am today and I continue to be inspired and in awe of your charisma, loyalty and dedication every single day.” Well, we kind of agree too. It’s difficult to not get affected by Anil Kapoor’s charm.
You have made me the person I am today and I continue to be inspired and in awe of your charisma, loyalty and dedication every single day. How lucky am I to have a father like you ☺
