Actor Anil Kapoor, who is busy promoting his forthcoming film Fanney Khan, says that he started his career as a background dancer. Anil was interacting with media on the sets of reality show Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani 2 along with Mika Singh, Badshah and Sunidhi Chauhan on Monday.

"Not many people know that I started my career as background dancer in 1979-80," Anil told media while remembering his struggling days. He made his debut as an actor in Woh Saat Din in 1983 after doing small roles in some Hindi, Telugu and Kannada films.
