I'm always my worst critic, says Anil Kapoor

New Delhi: After four decades in Bollywood, Anil Kapoor feels he needs to learn how to go easy on himself, and that is his biggest challenge. The actor says he has always been his worst critic.

Anil entered the industry with a small role in 1979 with Umesh Mehra's Hamare Tumhare, and then went on to carve his niche by balancing his stature as a respectable actor and his popularity as a saleable star, with performances including Woh 7 Din, 1942: A Love Story, Mr. India, Tezaab, Ram Lakhan, to name a few.

At 62, he has managed to keep himself relevant in the forever fickle world of Bollywood showbiz, and his fit and sprightly persona defies his age.

Anil insists his constant struggle is to go easy on himself. "I've always been hard on myself and I'm always my own worst critic," Anil said.

He says his career goals continue to be the same as they were all those years ago, when he was starting out.
