Anshula Kapoor on Parents Boney Kapoor & Mona's Divorce: "People Started Talking..."

Popular lifestyle influencer Anshula Kapoor has recently opened up about coping with her parents' Boney Kapoor-Mona Shourie's divorce. She said it was tough as people started talking about their family values and upbringing.

"No One Really Knew What To Say..."

In a conversation with Hautterfly, she said, "Growing up in the 90s, no one really knew what to say when my parents got separated. People started talking about family values, my upbringing, etc… I resigned into my own shell, and was trying to figure out what this new normal was all about."

"My Mother Was Both Parents In One..."

Talking about growing up in a household full of stars, Anshula added, "Of course, dad was working, mom was working, Sanjay chachu (Sanjay Kapoor) was working. Eventually, when we moved to our own space, mom had to become a one-person army... She was the caretaker, the lovegiver, the problem solver, and the breadwinner. She was both parents in one, and it was like she had ten hands to take care of us."

Though six years older, Arjun Kapoor had a close bond with Anshula, and Mona's parenting was remarkably balanced. Anshula pointed out that their mother never imposed different expectations on them based on gender. "She trusted us. Of course, she never went to sleep until her kids came home, but we had to keep her informed about our plans. We didn't have specific responsibilities tied to gender," Anshula explained.
