Consistent,
dependable
and
extremely
sincere...
he
is
all
that
and
so
much
more.
He
has
combated
almost
every
career
obstacle
and
always
emerged
victorious.
He
is
a
critic
favorite
and
a
box
office
man...
This
Sunday,
on
Koffee
with
Karan
meet
the
mega
star
Anil
Kapoor.
Karan's
second
guest
is
one
of
the
finest
actors
of
the
generation.
His
real
and
restrained
performances
have
made
him
not
only
an
audience
favorite
but
also
a
fraternity
favorite.
He
stands
out
in
a
crowd...
He
stands
out
in
an
ensemble
and
he
stands
out
because
of
his
sheer
talent...
none
other
than
Akshaye
Khanna.
Excerpts
from
the
interview:
Karan:
I
want
to
tell
everybody
as
I
was
saying
before
we
started
rolling
that
you
actually
are
my
first
film
industry
friend.
I
used
to
go
with
my
father
to
all
those
film
parties,
I
was
all
of
16-17
and
weighed
around
150
kilos
and
the
only
person
who
was
nice
to
me
at
those
parties
was
you!
So
thank
you
for
being
nice
to
me
twenty
years
ago.
Anil:
Well,
Karan,
I
had
a
great
relationship
with
your
dad
and
I
always
wanted
to
do
a
film
with
him.
Karan:
And
he
did
offer
you
one
really
obscure
film.
(laughs)
Anil:
Prakashji
had
offered
me
that
film.
But
he
was
a
great
guy
and
I
have
some
great
memories
of
him.
I
don't
want
to
get
too
sentimental
but
whenever
I
see
you,
I
meet
you...I
remember
your
dad.
He
loved
me,
I
think!
Karan:
Yeah!
He
was
very
fond
of
you!
He
was
exceptionally
fond
of
you
and
so
am
I.
But
that
doesn't
mean
I'm
going
to
be
nice
to
you
on
the
show.
First
let
me
just
tell
you,
it's
been
a
fantastic
innings...
you've
been
working
in
the
movies
for
how
many
years
now...
Anil:
1978-79
...
so
almost
30
years
Karan:
30
years...
so
you've
been
through
ups
and
downs
and
hits
and
flops
and
always
maintained
your
stature...always
maintained
your
dignity...and
always
maintained
your
stardom.
It
must
have
been
a
tough
ride.
How
does
it
feel
today?
Anil:
I
feel
honestly...
god
has
been
very
kind
to
me
and
the
film
industry
has
been
wonderful,
all
my
directors
and
co-stars
have
been
wonderful.
I
have
some
great
friends
and
my
family
has
been
wonderful.
I
don't
know
what
I
would
have
done
if
I
was
not
in
this
film
industry.
I've
had
a
great
time...
every
moment
I
have
spent
over
here
has
been
wonderful.
Karan:
So
how
old
are
you
Anil?
Anil:
I'm
30
years
old.
I
was
born
in
'78
when
I
first
faced
the
camera.
Karan:
Fine!
Great!
And
I'm
the
Queen
of
England
(Laughs),
but
we
just
have
to
move
on.
So
we'll
just
stick
to
the
fact
that
your
30.
Today
how
does
it
feel?
You
have
done
such
tremendous
innings,
you've
done
such
great
work,
you're
a
lead
actor
and
your
daughter
is
making
a
debut
with
Sanjay
Bhansali
in
Sanwariya.
Does
that
scare
you
at
all?
The
thought
of
it...?
Anil:
Not
at
all.
Because
I
have
two
more
children
so
I'm
hoping
to
be
a
leading
man
till
they
also
come
into
entertainment,
because
they
also
have
decided
to
come
into
entertainment.
I
don't
know
which
line
they
are
going
to
choose.
Sonam
of
course
is
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
responsibility
so
that's
taken
care
of.
The
focus
is
Harsh
and
Riya.
Till
they
come
and
make
a
mark
in
the
entertainment
world,
I
have
to
be
a
leading
man.
Karan:
Are
you
at
all
in
anyway
sometimes
an
embarrassment
to
your
children
because
sometimes...
and
I
mean
that
in
the
most
positive
way
that
sometimes
if
you
see
your
dad
up
there
you
know
dancing
...
Anil:
They
are
constantly
embarrassed.
They're
embarrassed
about
me,
about
my
films,
they
are
embarrassed
about
everything
i
do.
Karan:
When
you
wear
leather
pants
and
a
snazzy
red
jacket
and
you
spike
your
hair,
do
they
tell
you...
dad
what
the
hell
are
you
doing?
Because
I
was
just
thinking
if
I
saw
my
dad
do
stuff
like
that,
I
would
just
collapse.
Is
it
funny
for
them
to
watch
you?
Anil:
See
earlier
I
would
bum
one
or
two
cigarettes...
I've
never
been
a
smoker..
But
I've
decided
that
I
will
not
smoke
at
all
till
Sanwariya
releases.
I
haven't
touched
a
cigarette
in
quite
some
time.
For
my
son...
he
drinks
a
lot
of
soft
drinks...
so
now
the
bet
is...
he
says
you
can
never
get
abs
...
he's
got
great
abs...
my
son...
so
I
am
working
towards
that...
if
I
get
abs
he
is
going
to
stop
aerated
drinks.
So
I
am
getting
abs
now
for
my
son.
So
now
everything
revolves
around
my
family.
I
do
everything
for
my
children.
I
do
it
for
Sonam,
or
harsh
and
for
Riya.
Karan:
Sounds
like
a
perfect
family
-
perfect
husband,
perfect
father
and
very,
very
few
stories
about
your
philandering...
actually
none
at
all.
Anil:
I'm
a
good
guy!!!
I've
decided
to
be
completely
honest
on
the
show
so
I'm
being
totally
honest.
Karan:
And
you're
saying
you've
been
completely
faithful?
Anil:
Faithful?
I
wouldn't
say
that.
Karan:
Meaning?
What
do
you
mean?
Anil:
You
got
me
ya!
Karan:
Is
this
confession
time?
Anil:
Yeah!
Absolutely!
