Anil Kapoor’s Heartfelt Birthday Wish for Boney Kapoor at 70: Kapoor Family Reunites for Intimate Celebration

 Actor Anil Kapoor shared a deeply emotional tribute on Wednesday to celebrate the 70th birthday of his elder brother, veteran producer Boney Kapoor, marking the occasion with unseen family photos and a heartfelt note that touched fans across generations.

The celebration, held as a private family gathering, brought together the Kapoor clan — one of Bollywood’s most beloved film families — for a rare reunion filled with warmth, nostalgia, and laughter.

“Grateful for Every Memory”: Anil Kapoor’s Emotional Note

Taking to Instagram, Anil Kapoor posted a carousel of candid pictures from the intimate celebration. In his caption, the actor wrote:

“Happy 70th, Boney! Hard to believe how many memories, laughs, and adventures we’ve lived through together. Grateful for every bit of it — the highs, the lows, and everything that shaped us along the way. Wishing you all the happiness, love, and good health always.”

The heartfelt message struck a chord with fans and celebrities alike, many of whom flooded the comments section with warm wishes for the producer who has shaped Hindi cinema for over four decades.

Family First: The Kapoors Reunite

The pictures shared by Anil showed Boney Kapoor smiling as he cut a birthday cake, surrounded by his children — Arjun Kapoor, Anshula Kapoor, and Janhvi Kapoor — alongside his brothers Anil Kapoor and Sanjay Kapoor.

The gathering, which included close family friends, captured the off-screen closeness of the Kapoor family. The trio of brothers — Boney, Anil, and Sanjay — stood side by side in one of the frames, symbolising a lifetime of shared memories, mutual respect, and sibling camaraderie that has endured through Bollywood’s evolving decades.

Fans were quick to point out the warmth of the images, calling it a “rare Kapoor family moment” and praising how the siblings “always stay rooted in love.”

Janhvi and Shikhar Make a Rare Appearance Together

Adding to the buzz, Janhvi Kapoor attended the celebration with her boyfriend Shikhar Pahariya, who was seen standing beside her in one of the photos. Their public appearance together sparked renewed interest among fans, with many calling them one of Bollywood’s “most elegant young couples.”

Shikhar, a long-time friend of the Kapoor family, has often been spotted at their family functions, but this marks one of the few times he has appeared in pictures shared by family members.

Heartfelt Messages from Arjun and Anshula Kapoor

Continuing the wave of love, Arjun Kapoor shared his own touching note for his father, calling him a pillar of strength and inspiration.

“Happy Birthday, Dad. You’ve spent your life building, creating, and giving — to your family, to films, to everyone who crosses your path. Thank you for teaching me what it means to show up with heart, to keep evolving, and to always move forward. I’m proud to be your son.”

Anshula Kapoor also posted a moving message on social media, writing:

“Everywhere I go, someone always mentions your kindness, your generosity, and the warmth you carry wherever you are. You’ve given so much love to the world, and I hope it all comes back to you today. Happy birthday, Dad. Love you.”

Boney Kapoor: The Producer Who Defined Eras

Boney Kapoor remains one of the most influential figures in Indian cinema, known for his keen eye for storytelling and commercial success. Over the years, he has produced several landmark films, including:

• Mr. India (1987) — a cult classic starring Anil Kapoor and Sridevi

• No Entry (2005) — one of Bollywood’s biggest comedy hits

• Wanted (2009) — a turning point in Salman Khan’s career

• Maidaan (2024) — the Ajay Devgn-starrer based on India’s golden era of football

The producer has also worked on numerous cross-language projects, cementing his reputation as a filmmaker who bridges eras and audiences.

Boney is the father of four children — Arjun and Anshula from his first wife, the late Mona Shourie Kapoor, and Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor from his second marriage to the legendary actor Sridevi.

A Celebration of Legacy and Love

The 70th birthday celebration wasn’t just a family event — it was a reminder of the Kapoor family’s deep legacy in Indian cinema. From Surinder Kapoor’s early days as a producer to Anil and Sanjay’s acting careers and Janhvi’s growing filmography, the Kapoor lineage continues to inspire Bollywood’s next generation.

As the evening ended, the photos captured smiles, hugs, and an enduring sense of togetherness — a family that has weathered the highs and lows of fame but still finds its grounding in love and unity.

Boney Kapoor at 70 stands as both a visionary filmmaker and a devoted father, brother, and mentor.
And in Anil Kapoor’s words, the greatest story the Kapoors continue to tell — both on and off screen — is one of family, resilience, and timeless affection.
