Anil Kapoor has opened up about the special role his daughters Sonam Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor have played in his life and success, calling having two daughters a “double bonus.”
Ahead of the premiere, India Ke Top 1%: The Anil Kapoor Show, he reflected on balancing his demanding career with family life.
Speaking about the importance of making time for family, Kapoor said, “Bahut log kehte hain ki main apni family ke liye kaam karta hoon, lekin main bhi ab yeh seekh raha hoon ki family ko waqt dena kitna zaroori hai. Hamare jo sons-in-law hain, woh family aur work ke liye proper time nikaalte hain. Jab main aapki umar ka tha aur Rhea paida hui thi, main hospital late pahuncha tha. Main aaj tak khud ko forgive nahi kar saka.”
He added, “Rhea ki delivery ho gayi thi aur main kuch waqt baad wahan pahuncha. Main poori raat shoot kar raha tha aur meri aankh lag gayi. Jab main utha, tab tak Rhea was born. Having a daughter is a bonus, aur meri do daughters hain, Sonam aur Rhea, toh mere liye double bonus hai.”
His comments reflected on the challenges of juggling a long acting career and family life, while he also acknowledged how his sons-in-law make time for their families alongside their professional duties.
