Anshula Kapoor, daughter of Boney Kapoor, recently shared her deeply personal journey towards financial independence and the years she relied heavily on her brother, Arjun Kapoor.
The Weight of Dependence
Anshula revealed that for a significant period, her brother Arjun was entirely responsible for her, both financially and emotionally. She candidly admitted feeling like a “burden” on him, as he took on responsibilities that might typically fall to a parent or even his own child.
This feeling was rooted in a challenging youth marked by emotional turmoil. She explained how therapy has been instrumental in helping her overcome these thoughts and feelings of being a burden.
A Difficult Childhood Shaped Her
Her struggles began early, particularly after her father, Boney Kapoor, separated from her mother, Mona Shourie, and married actor Sridevi. Anshula’s self-worth further declined with the birth of her half-sister, Janhvi Kapoor.
A pivotal moment was the passing of her mother while Anshula was still in college in America. This tragic event prompted her immediate return to India, where she took the first job she could find, eager to establish herself.
Finding Her Own Path
Anshula’s early career saw her working at prominent companies like Google and Hrithik Roshan’s HRX. However, she clarified that despite these roles, true financial independence remained elusive for some time.
It wasn’t until late 2022 that Anshula could confidently say she was fully independent. This milestone was achieved when she transitioned and leaned into her journey as a content creator, finding both financial security and a sense of personal accomplishment.
Beyond Privilege
Anshula also shed light on common misconceptions about her family’s background. While acknowledging she grew up with privilege, she emphasized that it was earned through her father’s hard work, rather than being inherited through generations.
She pointed out that even her elder siblings, Sonam and Arjun Kapoor, didn’t experience the same level of privilege for several years of their lives. This perspective often gets overlooked when people view the Kapoor family from the outside.
A New Chapter Unfolds
The journey to financial independence has brought Anshula a profound sense of security, empowerment, and achievement. It marks a significant personal victory after years of navigating emotional and financial challenges.
In a joyous personal update, Anshula recently announced her engagement to partner Rohan Thakkar. The couple, who began dating in 2022, got engaged in New York, adding another exciting chapter to her life story.
