Anshula Kapoor recently opened up about the emotional turmoil following her parents, Boney Kapoor and Mona Shourie Kapoor’s divorce, revealing her mother blamed herself for the separation.
A Child’s Burden
Anshula Kapoor shared the deep emotional impact her parents’ divorce had on her as a child. She was only 8 or 9 years old when she started feeling like a “burden” on their relationship.
This heavy feeling led her to believe she was responsible for their separation. Her mother, Mona Shourie, quickly picked up on Anshula’s distress and worked to reassure her that her thoughts were unfounded.
Mona Shourie’s Heartbreak
While Anshula was grappling with her own guilt, her mother, Mona Shourie, faced her own immense pain. Mona blamed herself for the divorce, especially after Boney Kapoor married Sridevi.
Anshula recounted a conversation her mother had with her father, where Mona expressed her self-blame. Boney Kapoor, in turn, tried to address this sensitive topic with Anshula directly.
The Arrival of a Sibling
Anshula’s feelings of self-blame, surprisingly, intensified after her stepsister, Janhvi Kapoor, was born. She felt as though something was inherently “wrong” with her.
As a young child, she tragically thought that her presence had disrupted her parents’ previously “hunky-dory” life. She questioned if she wasn’t “good enough” as a daughter, a feeling that became more acute after Janhvi’s birth.
Healing and Family Bonds
Thankfully, Anshula clarified that these painful feelings are now a thing of the past. She has since processed these emotions and moved forward.
Today, Anshula shares a loving and strong bond with both her half-sisters, Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor, showcasing her journey of healing and acceptance.
