Anil Kapoor Discusses Insecurity and Role Choice in 1942: A Love Story
Anil Kapoor shared in a recent interview that he initially felt insecure during the filming of the song "Ek Ladki Ko Dekha" from the 1994 film 1942: A Love Story, as the camera focused mainly on co-star Manisha Koirala. Kapoor explained that the song highlighted Koirala's character as the emotional core of the love story, which justified the focus. He also revealed initial hesitation about taking the lead role, believing it suited a younger actor, but was encouraged by the film's producers.
