Annu Kapoor is a follower of numerology.

In the 3 October 2007 episode of the DD National show Music, Masti aur Dhoom, Annu Kapoor stated that he wanted to become a surgeon, but he could not afford to study as his family was poor. In an episode of the DD National show Wheel Smart Shrimati, he mentioned that he was born in Jhalawar in Rajasthan. He is the ex-brother-in-law of actor Om Puri. His sister Seema Kapoor, a documentary filmmaker, married Om Puri in 1990, later divorcing him in 1993.
