Pankaj Kapoor the acclaimed film, television and stage actor signified the young crop of great actors of which Om Puri and Naseeruddin Shah formed a part. Unlike his other counterparts Kapoor hasn't broken the vow to work only in good Art projects. A perfect actor Pankaj Kapoor did his engineering from New Delhi and then joined National School Of Drama. Since then he has potrayed many a characters flamboyantly. Like Puri and Shah he didn't hesitate to portray either a terrorist in Mani Ratnam's Roja or to play a miser father in 'Chameli Ke Shaadi' or either a struggling scientist in 'Ek Doctor Key Maut' (probably his most flamboyant roles of all). The actor will be probably remembered best for playing a Duncan (William Shakespeare's Macbeth) inspired character in the critically acclaimed 'Maqbool'. To add more Kapoor's flamboyance in Television serials like 'Karamchand Jasoos' to 'Office Office' as well as many a stage plays hasn't been hidden.
