Shakti is known for playing comic and villainous roles in Hindi films across the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. He is still remembered for playing popular roles like Crime Master Gogo in Andaz Apna Apna, Nandu in Raja Babu. Some of his best known films include Chaalbaaz, Judwaa, Coolie No 1, among many others. He was last seen in the 2025 film Mere Husband Ki Biwi, starring Arjun Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar and Rakul Preet Singh. He was also a part of Mohanlal-starrer Malayalam film L2: Empuraan.
Shakti has also been a participant on Bigg Boss, but left the show after a few bitter exchanges with host Salman Khan. He recently shared that things were cordial between them now. Salman and Shakti had been frequent collaborators in the 1990s but things went sour between them when in 2005, Shakti was involved in a sting operation that allegedly showed the actor asking for sexual favours.
Shakti is the father of popular Bollywood actor Shraddha Kapoor.
