The season of star biographies is in full bloom. After Rishi Kapoor, Karan Johar and Asha Parekh’s extremely well-received tell-tales, it’s the ageless Anil Kapoor who’s all set to spill the beans.

He’s clearly telling us that there would be no mention of the affairs, flings and other off-the-record occurrences in his life.
What we will get in the AK biography would be a comprehensive kaleidoscopic view of a life healthily lived .
I started acting when I was 23 with a bit role in Hamare Tumhare. By God’s grace today at 61, I am still here working alongside my children. In all humility, there is a lot to be obtained from my story. Why do you want to know about my affairs?
The memoir, if you will, is being penned by Anil’s long-standing friend and journalist Khalid Mohamed.
Reveals Anil, “It had to be Khalid and no one else. We’ve known each other for as long as I can remember. Our careers grew side by side. No one knows me better than Khalid. He’s not just a close friend but a brilliant writer and critic.”
Anil admits the biography is taking longer than expected. “It’s my fault. I am not able to give it the time that it needs. But now I need to focus on it and complete it.”
Khalid recently completed and released a biography on Asha Parekh.
