Siddhanth Kapoor (born 6 July 1984) is an Indian actor and assistant director working in Bollywood industry.[3] He is the son of actor Shakti Kapoor and the elder brother of actress Shraddha Kapoor.

Early life and career

Kapoor was born to actor Shakti Kapoor and Shivangi Kolhapure Kapoor on 6 July 1984 and was hailed into a multiethnic family of both Marathi and Punjabi ancestry. He is the nephew of actress Tejaswini Kolhapure and Padmini Kolhapure.[4] and the elder brother of actress Shraddha Kapoor.[5] Kapoor studied film making and acting course at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute.[6]

Kapoor began his career as a disk jockey, and later went on working as an assistant director for almost two years with director Priyadarshan in several films including Bhool Bhulaiya’, ‘Bhagam Bhag’, ‘Chup Chup Ke’ and ‘Dhol’.[7] He was initially supposed to make his debut in Soham Shah’s 2012 film Satte Pe Satta which is a remake of the original Raj Sippy's action comedy ‘Satte Pe Satta’ (1982), but the film was shelved. He thus made his acting debut in 2013 with the film Shootout at Wadala alongside Anil Kapoor, John Abraham, and Kangana Ranaut.[8] Then, he assisted Anurag Kashyap in his psychological thriller film Ugly (2014) in which he played a cameo role alongside Tejaswini Kolhapure, Pallavi Sharda and Ronit Roy.
