Arjun Kapoor shares a childhood pic with his mother on her 5th death anniversary
Remembering his mother on her fifth death anniversary, Arjun Kapoor today paid an emotional tribute to her.
It’s been five years today since Arjun Kapoor lost his mother Mona Shourie Kapoor to cancer in 2012. Remembering her on her death anniversary, the Ki & Ka star paid her an emotional tribute on his social media account.
The 31-year-old actor took to his Instagram to share a throwback picture of himself along with his sister Anshula and late mother Mona and wrote, “Come back na, please,” along with it.
The pic has a little Arjun holding baby sister Anshula’s hands as they pose for a lovely pic sitting next to their mother.
Arjun whose is generally privy to his personal life has time and again opened up about how he misses his mother.
In a 2014 interview to a leading daily, the actor reminisced his relationship with her and said, “She was my friend and I miss her every moment, but more in good moments. Bad moments I know anyways I would have dealt with myself. When I went to Ishaqzaade in a normal hall and people came and took pictures of me, I wished she had been there to see that. I wanted my mother to see that she had brought me up well enough and that I could survive.”
Talking about her battle with cancer, Arjun elaborated, “She was discovered in the third stage of cancer and when I look back, I can only wonder what hell she must have gone through to put me through that ease of shooting in Lucknow. She was undergoing chemotherapy, losing her hair and taking care of herself. And she had survived all that and celebrated her birthday on February 3 and then suddenly, she collapsed in front of me in my arms on March 25. Her cancer had spread to the brain and even though doctors had told us that she had six months, she died all of a sudden. Four months into her illness, nobody knew that she had cancer till my grandfather passed away, as she didn't want to tell anybody. Just my nani, mausie, Anshula and I knew. She didn't want it to come out and it didn't. She was a very strong person.”
On the work front, he will be next seen in Mohit Suri’s Half Girlfriend. Also starring Shraddha Kapoor, the romantic drama will hit the silver screen on May 19.
