Actor Anil Kapoor recently opened up about his wife Sunita Kapoor's unwavering support during his initial struggles in the film industry. In a candid interview alongside his daughter Sonam Kapoor, Anil revealed how Sunita played a pivotal role in their early life as a couple.
Anil spoke about his career journey that has seen him navigate both highs and lows over the past four decades. During a promotional event for Ariel's #sharetheload campaign, Anil, interviewed by Neha Dhupia, shared, "In my life, when I first met Sunita 50 years ago… When I met her, obviously, I was not doing very well financially. She would take care of a lot of things, and that’s how we shared the load. She stepped forward to share the load where money was concerned. It’s not only about doing household jobs.”
Anil further elaborated on Sunita's intuitive understanding of their financial situation during their dating years. "There were times when I couldn’t afford certain things, but I didn’t have to tell her. She would automatically… travelling, going out for meals, sometimes we’d go to a normal restaurant, sometimes we’d go to a slightly better restaurant when we were dating each other," he said.
"Automatically, she knows that of course I don’t have the money to pay the bill. So, she quickly slips some money out of her bag, and before I can come to know, she’s already paid the bill," he added.
For the unversed, Anil Kapoor and Sunita Kapoor have been married since 1984. Their daughter Sonam Kapoor, who was present during the interview, is an actress herself. The couple also has a younger daughter, Rhea Kapoor, a film producer, and their son Harshvardhan Kapoor, who is also an actor.
