He met Shivangi Kolhapure in 1980 while filming the Hindi film ‘Kismet.’ They quickly fell in love with one another. Shivangi was 18 years old at the time, 12 years younger than Shakti. For two reasons, Shivangi’s parents were adamant about Shakti not marrying their daughter. The first was due to their age difference, while the second was due to Shakti’s bad parts in the movies. They later put Sivangi in a room to prevent her from meeting Shakti. Shakti and Shivangi eloped and married after a few days. After eloping with Shivangi, Shakti earned the moniker “cradle-snatcher.”
