Anil Kapoor is an art collector -- all thanks to his wife Sunita. The actor has a collection of over 100 paintings comprising Indian as well as international artists, worth several crores. The collection is made up of known and unknown artists.

An insider reveals, "When Anil married Sunita, she made him promise that for every film he signed, he would buy a painting. This started from his breakthrough film Woh Saat Din. Almost 30 years later, they own a fabulous and valuable collection of art.

Rare works of art
While most of the paintings adorn the walls of the various rooms of their Juhu bungalow, the expensive ones have been put together in a special room. There are rare paintings by M F Husain, Tyeb Mehta, Jamini Roy and Anjolie Ela Menon. Sunita, who has an exquisite taste for art, selects the works while hubby Anil simply signs the cheque.

When Anil performed risky action scenes after his career took off, colleagues would tease him, "Why are you breaking a leg and risking your life over a shot? Your wife will go and buy a painting with the money."

Adds the source, "Sunita loves art and has passed that passion on to her daughter. The Kapoor girl buys paintings with her film fees. Sonam has her mother's artistic taste and visual sense for beauty and fashion."
