Shakti Kapoor says dad forgave him for eloping with Shivangi due to Lata Mangeshkar

Shakti Kapoor’s better half Shivangi Kolhpure is late singer  Lata Mangeshkar’s grand-niece. And because of this connection Shakti Kapoor’s act of eloping with his now spouse Shivangi was forgiven by his father.

Talking to a news portal, the veteran actor uncovered how Shivangi’s family had not given consent to their wedding and hence they eloped from home to get married. Shivangi’s family did not agree to our relationship, so we eloped and got married. My father, Sikandarlal Kapoor in Delhi got to know about it, he decided not to talk to me. My mother asked him to meet the girl once. As soon as he saw Shivangi, who is 10-12 years younger to me, he was like badi pyaari bachhi hai (He said that she is really nice). She sang two lines and my father stood up and asked how come she sings so well. I told Lata ji is her first cousin. He stood up and said ‘Teri sab galtiyaan maaf (All your mistakes are forgiven), because you got married in such big family.’ He asked her to sing Lata ji’s song and shared that he is a huge fan of hers. As soon as Shivangi sang, he got emotional,” Shakti Kapoor had told Aaj Tak.
