Boney Kapoor, ex-wife Mona Shourie join little Arjun Kapoor in rare throwback photo from Anil Kapoor’s birthday bash

A vintage photograph from actor Anil Kapoor’s birthday celebrations 25 years ago is doing the rounds on the internet. Apart from a cheerful Anil, the picture also features his brother, producer Boney Kapoor along with his ex-wife Mona Shourie Kapoor and their son, actor Arjun Kapoor. Lyricist Javed Akhtar and his actor wife Shabana Azmi are also seen.

Journalist Bhawana Somaaya shared the rare photograph on her Twitter account and revealed that Anil’s wife Sunita Kapoor was behind the camera. “#SaturdaySpecial @anilkspoor bdsy in1994 when @azmishabana18 wore short hair and @javedjaduofficial was not yet grey, @boney.kapoor #Mona we’re together @arjunkapoor was a baby.

The picture was taken in 1994, when Arjun was nine years old and Boney was still married to Mona. They got divorced in 1996 and she died in 2012 after a long battle with cancer.

Last month, Arjun penned an emotional note on Mona’s eighth death anniversary and said that his and sister Anshula Kapoor’s worlds were “shattered” when she passed away. He also regretted not spending enough time with her in her last days, as he was busy prepping and shooting for his debut film, Ishaqzaade.

“The world has changed Maa right now in this moment I wish I had you at home would have spent so much time with u that I couldn’t when I was trying to lose weight do my acting classes and when I was away shooting ishaqzaade during ur chemotherapy... would have tried to make up for the nonstop sprinting that I would have been upto and maybe taken u for granted,” he wrote.
