Veteran actor Anupam Kher gave fans a warm glimpse into Anil Kapoor’s 69th birthday celebrations, revealing that the usually high-energy star chose a simple and quiet way to mark his special day.
Celebration Highlights
Sharing moments from the festivities on Instagram, Anupam noted that the “birthday boy” celebrated with him and his “lady,” Sunita Kapoor. In a video posted on Instagram, Anil is seen cutting a chocolate cake while Anupam and Sunita cheerfully sing the birthday song. The heartwarming moment concluded with Anil feeding a piece of cake to his long-time friend Anupam.
Anupam captioned the post: “With the #BirthdayBoy and his Lady #SunitaKapoor. A quiet celebration at a quiet place! #HappyBirthdayKapoorSaab @anilskapoor @kapoor.sunita.”
Emotional Reflections
On Anil’s birthday, Anupam also spoke about his reliance on Anil following the passing of their mutual friend Satish Kaushik. He said, “My dearest, dearest friend, Anil, a very happy birthday to you. May God give you all the happiness in the world, a long and healthy life, peace, success, more success. You are a great friend and a great person and a great anchor.”
Anupam continued, “We have known each other for many years, and it took us a little time to understand each other fully. But my mornings with you, where you don’t talk much, I don’t talk much, are the richest moments of my life.”
He shared a personal touch, adding, “I used to earlier say, as a joke, that you should put my name in your ration card, but that’s not important now. I am there in your life. Thank you for being the person that you are. Kind, compassionate, concerned as a human being and as an actor, fantastic. Nobody likes you.”
Praise for Anil
Anupam expressed his admiration for Anil, stating: “You are a fabulous actor. I always say to you that you have a modern vision and native wisdom as a person. And I am overwhelmed sometimes thinking about the contribution you make in my space, especially at this stage of my life. I love you. You are the bestest.”
He acknowledged the deeper bond they share now, saying, “After Satish went, I know that I became more dependent on you. And you understand that silently and you have been very kind to me, very silently kind to me. I know that. May your year and years be filled with great performances. Already you are doing such great work. And happy birthday once again.”
With heartfelt emotion, he concluded, “Lots of love. Before I get emotional, I want to say to you. Happy birthday. Live long.”
