Veteran actor Anil Kapoor has spoken out in praise of India’s unity and its armed forces, noting that the country always comes together in times of national crisis, despite internal differences.
Taking to Instagram Stories, Kapoor commended the bravery of the Indian military and the nation’s firm response to threats.
“What needed to be done-was done. Which family does not have differences within their members, but when it comes to the nation, we stand as one. Always have, always will,” he wrote.
Anil Kapoor further added, “Grateful to our armed forces for standing tall and striking back with valor. India doesn’t forget. India doesn’t forgive. Jai Hind….Jai Hind ki Sena!”
His message comes in the wake of Operation Sindoor, a strategic retaliatory strike launched by Indian armed forces on 7 May.
The operation targeted nine terror sites located in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
Separately, the Kapoor family recently suffered a personal loss.
On 2 May, Anil’s mother, Nirmal Kapoor, passed away at the age of 90 due to age-related complications.
She passed away at 5:45 PM at Mumbai’s Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, where doctors had admitted her several times in recent months due to health issues.
Nirmal Kapoor was the wife of noted film producer Surinder Kapoor and is survived by her children—filmmaker Boney Kapoor, actors Anil and Sanjay Kapoor, and daughter Reena Marwah.
Her grandchildren include Arjun Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor, Harshvardhan Kapoor, Shanaya Kapoor, and Mohit Marwah.
Her son-in-law, Sandeep Marwah, is the founder of the Asian Academy of Film & Television (AAFT) in Noida.
She celebrated her 90th birthday in September 2024, when Anil Kapoor posted a heartfelt message alongside pictures of them together, writing, “90 years of love, strength, and endless sacrifices. Your presence fills our lives with joy and positivity every day. Blessed to be your child. Happy birthday, Mummy!”
