Yesterday, it was the auspicious day of Raksha Bandhan when sisters pray for their brothers' life and brothers vow to protect their sisters all the life long. Bollywood has many such brother-sister jodis and one such is Arjun Kapoor and his sister Anshula Kapoor.
We got the pictures of them celebrating Raksha Bandhan and are smiles for the shutterbugs. Arjun took to Instagram and shared a childhood picture with sister Anshula. He wrote an emotional message which reads as, "Raksha bandhan the day we promise to protect our sister I thought about it a lot and honestly for me it's the other way around my sister protects me takes care of me and allows me to be the person that I am...I can never thank her enough for it but I can always hover and watch over her just like in this picture and make sure I'm there right there when she needs me...love u @anshulakapoor thank u for being the person u are."
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," said an emotional Arjun.
We wish both of them a Happy Raksha Bandhan!
