Sanjay Kapoor (Punjabi: ਸੰਜਯ ਕਪੂਰ; born 17 October 1965) is a Bollywood actor and producer.
Son of film producer, Surinder Kapoor, he is the younger brother of actor Anil Kapoor and producer Boney Kapoor and brother-in-law of actress Sridevi. Kapoor dated brain surgeon Hanna Eliasson for a short time before marrying Maheep Sandhu, an Indian from Perth, Australia.
He began his career opposite Tabu in the film Prem (1995).
It was Raja (1995) opposite Madhuri Dixit that brought him box office success. Though Raja was a hero-centric and successful film, Madhuri Dixit stole the show, and it did not bring many offers to Sanjay Kapoor. Critics and viewers called Raja out-and-out a Madhuri Dixit film and suggested that it should had been renamed Rani.
He has given critically acclaimed performances as a villain playing the obsessive, psychotic husband of Esha Deol in Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe which was a flop, and he played a terrorist in the film Qayamat: City Under Threat, which was also a semi hit.
