Arjun Kapoor’s Bollywood career commenced in 2012, with his initial work being behind the scenes. He later debuted as an actor in ‘Ishaqzaade’. Although his lineage boasts accomplished figures like his father, Boney Kapoor, and uncle, Anil Kapoor, he did not experience the same level of success. His stepmother, Sridevi, a prominent actress with a career of around 300 films, was considered a major star.
The relationship between Arjun and Sridevi was marked by strong negative feelings. His father, Boney Kapoor, was married to Mona Shourie Kapoor, and they had two children, Arjun and Anshula. Boney’s relationship with Sridevi led to the end of his first marriage. He subsequently married Sridevi in 1996.
Arjun’s dislike for Sridevi stemmed from his belief that she was the reason for his parents’ separation. He struggled emotionally and physically. After Sridevi’s death in 2018, a change occurred.
Despite never viewing her as a mother, Arjun offered support to Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor, demonstrating a shift in his perspective. He honored Sridevi’s memory and participated in the final farewell, showcasing a transformation in their relationship.
