With his voice cracking with emotion, Kapoor shared, "My wife and my three kids are American. They are not related to this country. I do not impose my patriotism on them. I have never applied for a green card or US citizenship. My commitment to India remains unchanged, whatever may come." His deep-rooted patriotism resonates through his words as he declared he would rather die than take another country's passport.

Beyond his personal beliefs, Kapoor continues to leave an indelible mark on the cinematic landscape with remarkable performances in films such as 'Hum', 'Ram Lakhan', and 'Aitraaz'.
