Early morning surprise
While everyone was sleeping, Shraddha Kapoor shared a video on her Instagram stories.
In the video, she was laughing and watching her first big film, Hero No.1—along with her “Baapu”, aka Shakti Kapoor.
Shraddha captioned the moment, “Watch till end to see who else is watching.
Baapu birthday dhamaal @shaktikapoor.” This was the real birthday gift!
Old fun of Hero No.1
The 1997 danmy Hero No.1 was David Dhawan’s special combination.
With Govinda and Karisma Kapoor’s exciting chemistry, the story of the film is inspired by Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Bawarchi.

Journey from actor to father
Shakti Kapoor has worked in more than 700 films from the seventies till today.
- In the 1980s-90s, his comic/villain pairing with Asrani and Kader Khan made people laugh, scare and dance.
- He last showed his impressive presence in Ranbir Kapoor’s blockbuster Animal (Sandeep Reddy Vanga).
Even today, in this long career, this lovely bond between father and daughter was seen in such a way that it created a stir on social media.
