Arjun Kapoor tears up, says late mother's presence felt at Anshula's wedding

A month after Anshula Kapoor married Rohan Thakkar in July, she shared an unseen video from her wedding reception that showed her brother, actor Arjun Kapoor, becoming emotional during a speech on stage. While the Kapoor family, including Boney Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor, attended the celebrations, Arjun and Anshula appeared to be deeply aware of the absence of their late mother, Mona Shourie Kapoor.In the video, Arjun paused to speak about their mother and said she would have loved every moment of the wedding celebrations. As he remembered how involved she would have been in the rituals and festivities, he struggled to hold back tears and eventually broke down before Anshula walked up to hug him.Beginning his speech, Arjun said, "I want to take this moment to speak about our mom. Because she would have loved every single moment over these last few days. She would have loved every ritual..."His voice then faltered. He went on to say that Mona Shourie would have made sure everything was done exactly the way Rohan’s family wanted, while also dancing, celebrating and personally taking care of every guest who had gathered for the occasion. Arjun also referred to the rain outside and said, "I know she is here with us tonight because all this rain outside is her tears of happiness, adding, "It is her blessing, and she is blessing both of you."As he turned away and broke down, Anshula came up on stage to embrace him. Later in the video, Arjun spoke about how much he has missed his sister since she moved out because until then he "did not realise how important" she was to him. In the caption accompanying the video, Anshula wrote, "I’ve watched this video so many times, and I always end up watching Bhai more than I watch myself. The way he looks at me. The way he tries to hold it together. The pride, the happiness, the tears all of it (sic).""I knew my wedding would be emotional for me. I don’t think I was prepared for how emotional it would be to see it through my brother’s eyes. And I don’t think I fully understood what that day must have felt like for him until I watched this video (sic)," she added.Reflecting on their shared journey, Anshula shared that they had "grown up together" through changing life phases, reassuring him that no matter where life leads, he will "always be home" to her.Anshula married her long-time boyfriend, Rohan Thakkar on July 6 at Taj Lands End in Mumbai.She was last seen on The Traitors, which streamed on Prime Video.Arjun and Anshula Kapoor are Boney Kapoor’s children with his first wife, Mona Shourie Kapoor, while Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor are Boney’s daughters with his second wife, the late actor Sridevi.Meanwhile, Arjun's last theatrical release was director Mudassar Aziz's 2025 romantic comedy, Mere Husband Ki Biwi, featuring actors Rakul Preet Singh and Bhumi Pednekar.- EndsPublished By: Anurag BohraPublished On: Aug 26, 2026 23:45 IST
