Anil Kapoor made his debut as a lead actor in a Hindi film with 1983’s Woh Saat Din, directed by Bapu and produced by Anil’s brother Boney Kapoor and father Surinder Kapoor. The actor took to social media on Friday to celebrate his ‘40 years of being an actor and an entertainer’.

Anil posted pictures and clips from Woh Saat Din, which also starred Padmini Kolhapure and Naseeruddin Shah. The caption read, “Today I complete 40 years of being an actor and an entertainer…40 years of being accepted, loved and blessed by you, the audience! They say when you’re doing something you love, time just flies by…no wonder 4 decades seem like the blink of an eye! This is where I belong this is what I’m meant to do and this is who I’m supposed to be…”

It further read, “So many people have helped me get to this stage in life, but I’d especially like to acknowledge and thank the late Bapu saab, my brother @boney.kapoor and my father Surinder Kapoor for believing in me and for giving me my first chance in #Woh7Din…I’m also eternally grateful to @naseeruddin49 & @padminikolhapure for their grace in welcoming a newcomer. Their stardom made me shine brighter than I could’ve hoped for. I owe everything I am today to these legends, and to the love and acceptance I have found with each one of you.”
