In addition to expressing his love and thanks for his wife, Sunita, on their 41st wedding anniversary, veteran Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor also recalled his late mother with fondness and acknowledged Sunita’s support and care for her throughout his absence.

Anil shared a touching post on Instagram that included a stunning collection of images that chronicled their journey from their early years to the present. Family photos and recollections of his late mother, Nirmal Kapoor, who died earlier this month at the age of 90, were also included in the collection.

“51 years of marriage, 52 years of togetherness — and not a day goes by when I don’t feel grateful for you, Sunita,” the actor captioned the photo. You were more than simply my partner from the start; you were my rock, my pillar of support, and the one who was there for me through every stage of life.

Additionally, he honored Sunita’s assistance to his mother and the life they had created together.

“When I was away working, which has been nearly every day of my life, you were there for Mum in ways I could never be: you loved her like your own, supported her, and cared for her.” Without you, I’m not sure what I would have done. I simply wish Mom could have wished us a happy 41st anniversary today. He said, “I know mom is very proud of us and the life we created together.

He gave her a “happy anniversary” and thanked her for everything.

“Thank you for being my friend, my wife, my soulmate, my everything,” Anil said. Cheers to our adventure so far and the many wonderful years ahead. Sonu, you have my undying affection. My dear, happy anniversary. @kapoor.sunita.

In 1984, costume designers Anil and Sunita tied the knot. Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor is the couple’s son, while Sonam and Rhea are their daughters.
