Well-known celebs Anil Kapoor and Sunita Kapoor are among
the evergreen couples of Bollywood whose love has stood the test of time. As
the days and years go by, their love grows stronger, wiser and better.
While promoting his forthcoming film, Fanney Khan, Anil
featured on Humans of Bombay's Instagram page and talked frankly about his love
story with Sunita.
Speaking about how they first met, Anil Kapoor disclosed,
"A friend of mine gave Sunita my number to prank call me––that’s when I
first spoke to her & fell in love with her voice! Soon after, we met at a
party––there was just something about her. We started talking & became
friends. We used to discuss this other girl I liked - you know if I like her or
she likes me? Then suddenly that girl vanished, leaving me heartbroken – our
friendship strengthened because of that!
Little did I know that Sunita was the one all along – we started dating
organically. It’s not like in the movies––I didn’t ask her to be my
girlfriend––we both just knew."
Further revealing about the struggles he faced as an actor
and how Sunita was his beacon of light, Anil further added, "She was from
a liberal family––a banker’s daughter with a modelling career & I was
bekaar! She didn’t care who I was or what my profession is - none of it
mattered! I lived in Chembur & she lived on Nepeansea road – it took me an
hour to reach by bus. She would start screaming, ‘No come fast by cab!’ &
I’d say ‘Arrey I don’t have money’ then she’d say ‘Just come na’ & pay for
my cab! We dated for 10 years––we travelled and grew together. She was always
clear that she won’t enter the kitchen. If I said ‘cook’ I’d get a kick! I knew
I needed to become something before asking her to marry me. I went through the
struggle of not getting work, but she supported me unconditionally."
On how they got married, Anil Kapoor revealed, "So when
I got my first break, ‘Meri Jung’ I thought, now house will come, kitchen will
come, help will come...I can get married! So I called Sunita & said, ‘Let’s
get married tomorrow – it’s tomorrow or never’ & the next day, we were
married! I went for shoot 3 days later & madam went abroad on our
honeymoon...without me!"
Lastly, speaking about their 45 years of friendship and
love, Anil revealed, "Honestly, she knows me better than I know me. We’ve
built our life; our home together. We’ve raised 3 kids & been through ups
and downs. But I feel like we’re finally dating now – romantic walks &
dinners have just begun! We’ve been together 45 years––45 years of friendship,
love & companionship. They don’t make people like her anymore. She’s the
perfect mother, perfect wife & the reason I wake up every morning,
motivated. You know why? When I ask her, ‘Arrey, yesterday only gave you so
much money’ she says, ‘Woh sab khatam ho gaya...it’s all finished!’ and I jump
out of bed & run to work!"
