Sonam Kapoor proved once again that family comes first as she took to social media late last night to wish her cousin Anshula Kapoor a heartfelt happy birthday. The actress poured her love into words, calling Anshula her “darling” and “angel sister,” and expressing excitement about what the coming year has in store for her.
Sharing the wish on her social media stories, Sonam wrote, “Happy happy birthday my darling @anshulakapoor love you my angel sister. Can’t wait to see what this year brings for you!” The warm message instantly resonated with fans, who adore Sonam’s close bond with her family.
Along with the note, Sonam shared a throwback photograph featuring herself and Anshula. The candid picture shows the sisters posing together inside a shoe store, capturing a light-hearted and relatable moment. The throwback added a personal touch to the birthday wish, giving fans a glimpse into their off-screen sisterly connection.
Sonam Kapoor, who tied the knot with businessman Anand Ahuja in a grand wedding ceremony in May 2018, has often spoken about the importance of family in her life. The couple welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Vayu, in August 2022, marking a joyful new chapter for the actress.
On the professional front, Sonam was last seen in the 2023 crime thriller Blind, directed by Shome Makhija. The film also starred Purab Kohli, Vinay Pathak, and Lillete Dubey in key roles. A remake of the 2011 Korean film of the same name, Blind revolved around a visually impaired police officer on the trail of a serial killer and showcased Sonam in an intense, performance-driven role.
The daughter of actor Anil Kapoor, Sonam began her journey in the film industry as an assistant director on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Black in 2005. She made her acting debut with Bhansali’s Saawariya in 2007 and went on to feature in popular films such as I Hate Luv Storys, Raanjhanaa, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Neerja, and Veere Di Wedding. She also earned praise for her supporting roles in acclaimed biopics like Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and Sanju.
Sonam was also set to headline the film adaptation of Anuja Chauhan’s novel Battle for Bittora, produced by her sister Rhea Kapoor. Envisioned as a unique blend of romance and politics, the project has unfortunately remained stalled for several years.
For now, Sonam’s sweet birthday tribute to Anshula has won hearts online, reminding fans that behind the glamour and fame, it’s these simple, loving moments that truly shine.
