by
Anil Kapoor

MUMBAI: Veteran Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor has spoken about his family and career, describing his daughters Sonam and Rhea Kapoor as a major source of joy in his life.

Recalling the birth of his daughter Rhea, Kapoor said he arrived late at the hospital and regretted not being able to see her on time. He said the experience stayed with him throughout the night.

The 69-year-old actor, speaking on The Anil Kapoor Show, said his daughters were nothing short of a blessing and that his family was more important to him than his career.

According to Kapoor, Rhea’s birth made him realize the additional happiness that having a daughter could bring. With two daughters, Sonam and Rhea, he said that happiness had effectively doubled.

Kapoor began gaining prominence with the 1983 film Woh Saat Din and has built a career spanning more than four decades in the Indian film industry.

The actor remains active in show business and is currently hosting a quiz show.

Sonam Kapoor’s ‘Auntie’ remark about Aishwarya Rai resurfaces

by
Sonam Kapoor

NEW DELHI: A 2009 comment by Bollywood actor Sonam Kapoor referring to fellow star Aishwarya Rai as “auntie” has resurfaced on social media, reigniting debate nearly two decades later.

According to Indian media reports, the controversy originally began when Sonam Kapoor replaced Aishwarya Rai as the brand ambassador for an international cosmetics company.

Around that time, a video clip and attributed remarks referring to Rai as “auntie” circulated widely online, triggering criticism and accusations of age-shaming.

At the time, Sonam Kapoor reportedly clarified in an interview that her comments were meant in a respectful, traditional sense, noting that Aishwarya Rai had worked with her father, actor Anil Kapoor, in several films, and therefore she referred to her respectfully.

However, as the controversy grew, Kapoor later distanced herself from the statement, denying she had intended any disrespect and saying she always held Rai in high regard.

The resurfaced clip has once again sparked discussion on social media, although it remains unclear why the issue has regained traction after so many years.
