Sanjay Kapoor, who was recently seen playing real-life niece Sonam Kapoor's father in "The Zoya Factor", says the best acting opportunities are coming his way only now, after all these years. "When I was young and starting off in the nineties, most characters in mainstream cinema were stereotypical, and not like the way things are today. So, initially I did grab all the opportunities that came my way. However, I have to say that I am getting exciting offers as an actor only now, after all these years," Sanjay told IANS.

Starting his career in 1995 with the dud "Prem", Sanjay's featured in films such as "Raja", "Sirf Tum", "Auzaar", "Mohabbat", and "Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe". "Also, in the nineties, typecasting would happen to all actors. Now, we have better opportunities to showcase versatility," he said. "With age and life's experience, I have matured as a performing artist. In between, I avoided the urge to do films just to remain visible. Perhaps that is why new offers are coming my way now, and filmmakers can imagine me in certain characters because my talent has not been utilised completely," declares Sanjay, who tried film production in 2009 with "Kya Time Hai Yaar" and in 2014 with "Tevar".
