As we celebrate National Sister’s Day in 2024, it is a perfect occasion to revisit the heartfelt moments when Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor spoke fondly about his younger sisters – Anshula, Janhvi, and Khushi Kapoor. Arjun, born to film producer Boney Kapoor and the late Mona Shourie Kapoor, has shared various anecdotes and thoughts about his relationships with his siblings in multiple interviews. His words shed light on the candid and loving dynamics he shares with his sisters.
### A Glimpse into Their Bond
In an interview with Masala Magazine, Arjun Kapoor revealed the essence of his relationship with his sisters. “The good part is that they respect me and I respect them. I do tend to bully in the sense that I do tend to troll them from time to time because I have a snarky sense of humor and I do tend to crack a few extra jokes,” Arjun stated. This playful aspect of their relationship does not overshadow the serious moments; he emphasized that he is always there to offer advice when needed. “We don’t live together now, so we’re not discussing everything on a day-to-day basis. I believe in letting people do what they choose to do. I don’t interfere. But yes, if one of them comes to me to talk about something, I’m always there to give my two cents of my experience,” noted the actor.
### Improving Family Dynamics
Arjun’s relationship with his half-sisters Janhvi and Khushi has positively influenced his bond with his father, Boney Kapoor. Speaking to Men’s Health Magazine, Arjun mentioned, “We have all confronted many of our demons. It has to do with letting go, which is very cathartic…it is strangely therapeutic to just sit around and talk rubbish. But I love my father more because of both of them. It is complex. I have been able to see my father in a different light. If I didn’t share this equation with Janhvi and Khushi, I would have resented many things and never felt the need to reconnect with him at this level.”
### Observations About Janhvi
In his conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Arjun drew attention to Janhvi’s insecurities.
. He remarked, “[Janhvi] is hungry, she is insecure, she is worried, and she has no confidence in her own ability. She is always seeking validation. Her choices are interesting because she is ready to take chances. She’s done ‘Milli’ and ‘Gunjan Saxena,’ both of which were tough films to do.” Arjun also expressed optimism for her future, saying, “She is taking chances and growing; I feel her future is really bright. We both talk a lot—about everything from old Hindi films to the kind of films she wants to do. We have a solid equation in terms of discussing work.”
### The Truth About Their Family Dynamics
Arjun Kapoor has been transparent about the complexities of his family dynamics in various interviews. When asked by Bollywood Bubble if he lived in a perfect family, Arjun clarified, “If I say we are a perfect family, that will be incorrect. It’s not about different opinions; we are still different families trying to merge and coexist with each other. We all have an amazing time when we are together, but we are still not one unit. I don’t want to sell a fake lie that everything is perfect. It can’t be perfect, as we are still figuring each other out.”
### Finding Common Grounds
In an interaction with Pinkvilla, Arjun spoke about the similarities he shares with his siblings. “I think Janhvi and I are similar in the sense that we talk a lot more about work. Khushi’s just started working, and Shanaya, whenever I’ve got a chance and she has asked me, I do tell her to listen. Advising is very easy, but following the advice is tough. Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor (another Kapoor family member), for instance, has a mind of his own and is following his heart. You listen to everyone but do your own thing,” said Arjun.
On this National Sister’s Day, Arjun Kapoor’s sentiments toward his sisters serve as a reminder of the unconditional love and support that family can provide, despite the complexities involved. His candid revelations offer an intimate glimpse into his life, showing that at the end of the day, it’s the love for his sisters that strengthens their bond.
