Arjun Kapoor turns 39

 

Arjun Kapoor (first-born of Boney Kapoor and Mona Kapoor) with his step-sister Janhvi Kapoor (first-born of Indian icon Sridevi and Boney Kapoor), rare pics of the two step-siblings over the years on the right. 

Arjun turns 39 today.  

We've posted very little here about Mr.Kapoor but will pay homage to his exemplary role in stepping up when the chips were down for his father and adopting his step-sisters in an honourable way during their time of need. 

A capable actor, lady luck and box-office seems to elude him. Let's see what the future holds. We wish the actor well. His choices have always been interesting be it his first film Ishaqzaade (2012), Aurangzeb (2013) or Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar (2021). In many ways, enjoyed Ki & Ka (2016) too but I just remember a part in the film where he was working out with a few people and training them or something and I heard from the back of the cinema, 'Yeh mota kya gym sikhayega?' and the audience burst out laughing. Indian public is not to be messed with... 

"Yeh jo public hai woh sab jaanti hai..."

Rare Pics: Sridevi with her step-children Anshula Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor

TBT Sridevi with the children of Boney Kapoor from his first-wife Mona Shourie Kapoor; Anshula Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor.

We have a lot of love and admiration for the Shourie-Kapoor kids for standing tall during times of adversity for their father [Boney Kapoor] and their step siblings [Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor]. They are the finest examples of what is possible when you lead with your heart for the greater good. How after all these years they hold each other up, restores our faith in humanity when we need it the most.

Update: Unless you have something positive to say below, all trolling will be disabled. This is a fan site - not something for you to spew your venom and hate. That is NOT what Sridevi was about. She was love and light - and all that is good and great. 

Arjun Kapoor with Sridevi and Boney Kapoor

It's the rarest of moments - think we only have two in the archive - of Arjun Kapoor standing in the same frame as Sridevi. Seen here at a producer's guild award honouring the Kapoor patriarch Surinder Kapoor, when all the men attended to honour the head of the family. This was over a decade ago... 

Sridevi with Manoj Kumar... and Arjun Kapoor!

Sridevi presented the Lifetime Achievement award to Manoj Kumar at the 40th Dadasaheb Phalke Awards, 2009.

Sridevi in a golden kanjeevaram looked so stunning. She attended the event with her producer husband, Boney Kapoor

It was also the rarest of rare occasions where Arjun Kapoor - Boney Kapoor' son from his first marriage - was seen at an event and on stage with Sridevi. One of the.... perhaps five pictures we have of the two in the same frame considering the all-too (understandably!) strained, distant and often hostile relationship the two had.

As Arjun Kapoor was away on a film shoot and missed the family celebrations of Diwali, he made it just in time to share a hug with his father Boney Kapoor on his dad's birthday.

Arjun Kapoor finally speaks about Sridevi: Step Mom

Arjun Kapoor's only quote about Sridevi so far! Boney Kapoor's son from his first marriage speaks about his step-mother, superstar Sridevi Kapoor.  

Arjun Kapoor, "She is a fantastic actor and I immensely respect her body of work. The less I say, the better it is. At the end of the day, she is my father’s wife. She is a very talented actress and Chennai is her home…It would be very unfair of me to let my personal baggage fall on her body of work, especially in a place like Chennai, where she is loved and respected...". 

Wise words.

Arjun Kapoor, "Sridevi is a master of her craft": Kapoor Jnr on step-mom, superstar Sridevi

The media's fascination with the relationship between Arjun Kapoor (first born of Boney and Mona Kapoor) and his step-mother, Sridevi, is... predictable. 

Both have been tactful and understandably evasive to the prodding, intrusive and often rude questions posed by an alarmingly insensitive tribe of tabloid journalists....

They get along with each other just fine and that's all there is to it.

Arjun Kapoor with Sridevi: Rarest of pics of Sridevi with husband Boney Kapoor and step-son Arjun Kapoor

News bytes from Filmfare and GQ magazine. 

This is Arjun Kapoor, first-born of Boney Kapoor and Mona Kapoor, now step-son of Sridevi. 

God bless Arjun for showing maturity and restraint from an early age. Glad he and step-mom somewhat get along. 

Sridevi herself has stated her support for Kapoor Jnr earlier on. 

And young Mr Kapoor, all of 20-something... Kudos on cleaning up. The weight loss is dramatic. He used to look like any other pudgy Punju, but now - wow what a transformation! What weight loss and some serious styling can do! 

Best of luck to him for his first film, 'Virus Diwan', that springs from the Yash Raj banner - home ground for Sridevi - no less.

 

Sridevi's only quote about Arjun Kapoor

In a stop-the-press pull quote from Movie Talkies.com, Sridevi said, "I have no time to do anything but play the role of Mrs. Boney Kapoor and the mother of our children."

Asked if she had anything to say about Boney launching his son Arjun Kapoor (from first-wife Mona Kapoor) as a hero, Sridevi says, "I am really very happy. After all, Arjun is also my son."

This one statement is more powerful than all the communication and lack of talking people accuse her of…
