Bollywood legend Anil Kapoor recently opened up about his 40-year marriage to Sunita Kapoor, sharing some heartwarming and unique aspects of their relationship. During an event in Jaipur, Anil candidly spoke about Sunita’s independent choices, her early contributions to their home, and how she openly set her own terms when they tied the knot.
Sunita’s Stance on Jewelry After Marriage
Anil Kapoor shared a particularly interesting story about how Sunita had a strong stance on jewelry when they were getting married. She made it clear that she wouldn’t bring any family jewelry into the marriage. According to Anil, Sunita told him directly, “When I come to your house after marriage, I will bring only one set of clothes, and you’ll have to buy all the jewelry for me.” This bold declaration caught Anil’s attention, and he lovingly accepted her terms. Sunita’s only piece of jewelry from her family was her wedding ring.
Sunita’s Touch in Their Home
Anil further reflected on how Sunita, despite being very vocal about her independence, took great pride in decorating their home, particularly in the early years of their marriage. He recalled how every time he returned from a shoot, the house would be beautifully adorned with flowers. While Anil admitted he didn’t immediately pay attention to her efforts, he later realized how much effort Sunita put into making their home feel special.
Sunita made it clear that her actions were for her own happiness, not just for him. Anil recalled her words: “I take care of the house for myself, not for you. Don’t misunderstand my actions as something I do for you.” This further highlights her self-reliant nature, a quality Anil has long admired.
The Early Years: Sunita’s Independence
Anil also reflected on the early days of their relationship, long before they got married. He shared that Sunita was a working woman at the time and maintained her own views on life and marriage. Even then, she made her terms clear and upheld them after they tied the knot. Anil, respecting her choices, embraced these aspects of her personality, which made their bond stronger.
Celebrating 40 Years of Marriage
Anil and Sunita Kapoor celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary this past May. To mark the milestone, Anil posted a touching tribute to his wife, calling her his “rock.” He reminisced about their 11 years together before marriage and the four decades they’ve spent building a life together. Anil expressed his gratitude to Sunita for standing by his side through all the ups and downs, while her love and strength continued to inspire him.
With memories spanning decades, the couple’s journey has been a testament to love, mutual respect, and unwavering support for each other. Sunita’s individuality and Anil’s admiration for her independence have played a significant role in shaping their long-lasting bond.
