Actor
Sanjay
Kapoor
who
made
his
Bollywood
debut
with
Satish
Kaushik's
Prem
in
1995
has
completed
twenty
six
years
in
the
film
industry,
and
the
actor
is
glad
that
people
still
want
to
see
him
on
the
silver
screen.
In
an
interview
with
a
leading
daily,
Sanjay
recalled
his
first
shot
for
Prem
and
said,
"It
has
been
a
long
time
but
I
still
remember
the
first
shot
that
I
gave
was
for
the
song,
'Aati
Nahi..';
this
was
even
before
1995.
I
am
moving
on
from
movies
to
OTT
platforms,
which
is
all
the
rage
today.
Obviously,
there
have
been
a
lot
of
hurdles
but
it
was
a
great
journey."
He
further
told
TOI,
"I
am
glad
that
people
still
want
to
see
me
and
love
me,
and
I
got
to
do
some
good
work.
It
feels
good
that
all
my
hard
work
is
finally
paying
off."
In
the
same
interview,
Sanjay
also
made
an
interesting
revelation
about
his
debut
film
and
said
that
Tabu
wasn't
the
first
choice
for
the
film.
Well,
it
was
none
other
than
late
actress
Divya
Bharti.
The
Sirf
Tum
actor
revealed
that
the
first
time
he
had
faced
the
camera
was
with
Divya
Bharti
for
a
screen-test.
"We
were
shooting
in
National
Park.
Back
then,
Shekhar
Kapur
was
directing
the
film
and
we
were
planning
to
cast
Divya,
but
things
didn't
fall
in
place.
However,
later,
I
did
work
with
her
in
'Kartavya';
unfortunately,
she
passed
away
and
the
film
remained
incomplete.
That
is
an
unforgettable
yet
tragic
memory
associated
with
the
film,"
recalled
Sanjay.
The
actor
also
reminisced
about
his
late
sister-in-law
Sridevi's
presence
at
the
mahurat
shot
and
said,
"During
the
mahurat
of
the
song
'Aati
Nahi' many
celebs
had
graced
the
sets
and
Sridevi
was
one
of
them.
She
wasn't
married
to
Boney
at
the
time
but
she
came
on
the
sets.
I
have
a
very
clear
memory
of
a
family
member
present
on
the
sets."
