‘Sunita has been like a single parent’: Anil Kapoor on being an absent father, says he has ‘no regrets’

• Anil Kapoor’s honest talk about family.
• Why Sunita Kapoor was like a single parent.
• The reason he has zero regrets.

We just saw Anil Kapoor’s latest interview and it is a lot to process. He didn’t talk about his next big movie. He didn’t talk about his fitness routine. Instead, he got very real about his home life. He admitted that he was mostly gone while his kids were growing up.

Honest. Brave. Maybe a little cold? He said his wife, Sunita, had to be like a single parent. While he was out becoming a superstar, she was doing the hard work at home. The vibe of this story feels very vintage. It’s like looking at an old, grainy photo where the father is just a shadow in the corner.

Anil says he has no regrets about it. None. He felt he had to work hard to provide for everyone. It reminds us of the drama in old shows like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Family roles can be so complicated. Sometimes, you have to choose between a career and bedtime stories.

We think about how hard that must have been for Sunita. It’s definitely more stressful than being stranded in Mumbai traffic for five hours. Being a parent alone is a long, hard road. But Anil seems happy with the result. His kids are stars now too. Maybe the trade-off worked out for them?

While Anil stays busy, other stars are shifting their schedules. We hear Samantha Ruth Prabhu might delay her new project. Everyone is balancing work and life in their own way. Some even look for new adventures, like how Alex Hassell is heading into a space drama.

Our Take

We think this is a breath of fresh air. Usually, celebs pretend to be perfect parents. Anil didn’t do that. He gave Sunita all the credit. It’s a very raw and honest aesthetic. We don’t see this often in Bollywood. It makes us respect Sunita even more for holding it all together.
