Arjun Kapoor wishes sister Anshula a happy birthday, says he's incomplete without her

It is well-known that Arjun Kapoor was very close to his mother Mona Kapoor. Days before the release of his debut film Ishaqzaade, Arjun lost his mother. Post his mother's demise, Arjun hardly opened to anyone which left a void so deep in his life. It was his sister who stood by his side all the time. 

On her birthday, Arjun shared a throwback picture of the siblings that is sure to make you smile. In the photo, a young Arjun and Anshula are seen playing and Arjun's expression is just priceless. He captioned the image as, "The reason I live happy birthday @anshulakapoor I’m incomplete without u love u don’t know what I would do without u...ur the best sister in the whole world and I know I take undue advantage of that...stay the way u are and I hope all the happiness in my destiny comes to u."

In an interview with a leading news portal, an emotional Arjun spoke about how he wrestled the hard times. "My sister, Anshula, has stood by me like a rock. She has gone through far worse. She's younger than me. I still had 11 years with my father living in the house. I had my mother living with me for 25 years but she only got 20. Imagine a child who has been through a life where the father couldn't be physically around all the time after the age of 5. And the mother who was there physically all the time and then after 20 years, she wasn't there. Imagine the psychological scarring of that child. She's still more mature, very well-educated, honest and more sincere than me," said Arjun.

He further added, "Exactly. After Mum passed away, my only thought was how will I take care of her? I was prepared to take care of myself, how I would take care of Anshula? It's like having a child when you're least prepared. She has been my child in the sense; she's somebody who I am the most protective about. She completed her graduation in the US and passed with flying colours. This was during my film release. She came back to be with me when she could've gotten a great job abroad."

Arjun, who couldn't thank her sister enough for being there for him always, said, "Till today, she doesn't accept that she did it for me. She ended up working with Google in Delhi when she could've gotten the same job in America. But then she realized that she doesn't want to continue because my life was all over the place. I obviously needed her but I couldn't tell her then. She sensed that and now she's my only strength. She runs the house and my life. She takes care of my medication and my food. These are things that seem they could be taken for granted. But when you don't have a single parent around and your younger sister is doing that for you, whereas she should be building her own life, I think that is the greatest human sacrifice of all."

Arjun concluded by saying that for him, Anshula is the unsung hero. "I am getting love, adulation, and money in return for my sacrifices, but her sacrifices cannot be quantified. She has put herself second on all levels. She's the unsung hero of my career," he added.
