Shraddha Kapoor shared a throwback photograph of father Shakti Kapoor on social media. The actor wrote, "Spot my dad. This was approximately 55 years ago. When he was the captain of his school cricket team.... Salwan Public School, Delhi (sic)."

The veteran actor was passionate about the sport until he started seeing one of his team member's girlfriends. It spelt trouble, so he dumped the girl and the game. He then turned to modelling and acting.
